if youre in japan, find em in a size 3 at a good price and are feeling nice, contact me DJI. NNs are damn nice.

[DJI]

they'd probably all be full price man which is ~27K yen iirc? they're nice jeans, can't think of any other low rise slim black jeans in regular stretch denim that I really like. if there is anything anyone particular wants picked up let me know.

[Ivans On High]

you know of anywhere selling black detroits on sale in a 34 D?

I really like the detroits - and there are a few guys on SZ who sell them quite regularly. The version that are up on there currently are most probably the womens 'blackety waxed' version which is slimmer and stretchier. And IMO not as nice. They also don't run as small as the detroit.

Hang out until someone is listing an actual pair of detroits.

These KKA look fairly epic. Don't know how much longer I can wait for black pants/jeans of some kind.

[DJI]

I'm waiting till for the MA cotton twill J pants, dropping late december:

any of you guys care to refresh my memory on slim jeans with a lowish rise made from flat black stretch denim? thinking N(N) jeans are the way to go, nothing I really like of the sort from JR, DH, CM, CoN or acne. maybe NAT? leaning towards N(N) at this point...

[eversuns]

I should fix these now rather than wait right:

any idea on how much it would cost to repair?

i think nat looks great as well, minus gradient if u wish. (srry bt.. borrow pic.)

[DJI]

yeah, NAT look like a good slim fit with minimal detailing but unfortunately they only make raw black denim jeans, I'm after just a flat black stretch denim. looked pretty extensively at the options (NAT, raf, DH, superfine, CM, CoN, julian red, cheap monday, acne, april 77, doctor denim), I think N(N) are a winner for me. wouldn't mind APC either but they only make black stretch new cures once every few seasons. ray and sev3n both suggested undercover jeans but I have nfi what they look like, never seen any pics of them...

guess the temptation to buy the _7 grey runway suit is gone now, sev3n snagged the last one available online. probably for the best anyway, getting the sleeves shortened from the shoulders (possibly shoulders narrowed too?) and the body taken in from 2-3 seams would have cost a mint...

DJI, serious question:

do all your clothes have the exact same measurements? do they all fit the same? why does everything have to fit 'perfectly'?

[034936]

hahaha. He is quite a particular dude. each to their own i guess.

[DJI]

hahaha, good question man. um, well I guess I have an idea of how I want particular pieces to fit. I know what range of sizes for a type of garment will fit me well, obviously it isn't possible to have everything fit spot on but for example all of the leather jackets that I've kept or worn for extended periods have been in the range of 43-45cm p2p.

in regards to things fitting "perfectly" I feel that when you start spending quite as much on pieces as people on here and SZ do you should be very satisfied with the way it fits, I know I can't justify keeping a $1K+ leather jacket if I'm not happy with the way I look in it. more specifically with the jut neck (which I believe may be the reason you brought this up), I know how that piece should fit on me if it hadn't been used so I can't settle for the looser fit. I dunno, maybe I have ocd and pay too much attention to little details...

ooh. you mean selvage denim? how about nudies? i like them personally. thinking of picking a n(n) as well, but haven't handle them personally..

[DJI]

nah not selvedge denim, just regular stretch cotton twill denim (like what CM jeans and the like are made from). N(N) jeans are good quality although stretch black denim is pretty standard stuff, mainly looking at them for the fit.

[fenrost]

^ah thanks for clearing, i always have a confusion with the definition of jeans, like the ones shum88 in sz is selling.

confused, why sell the jut in the first place mang? was it the zip config? or fitting or?

[034936]

chest too wide. had a wide chest.

[DJI]

I'm after a different pair to the one on SZ, the skinny/slim N(N) jeans have thigh darts and are 95% cotton/5% stretch.

I sold the jut in the first place because I didn't think I could justify owning 2 of the same style of jacket, just with different zip configs. regretted selling since and after seeing the direction SS10 has gone in I don't know if I'll be buying much from the mainline in the future (I'm definitely not buying anything from SS10). copped this one off Y, near new only worn once but du that wore it wore it tight and as such it stretched a bit.

[fenrost]

personally, i feel that keeping 2 juts with different zip configs, it's too _7 hardcore fanboy for me. nothing wrong tho, they look great, but i think it's just... too much... haha... : \

[DJI]

yeah that's what I thought at the time but I really like the style (that and they insist on cutting the moto style jackets big). have to wait and see where they take FW10 but judging by SS10 they're really looking to increase the split between the mainline and MA line, with the MA line for clean tailored pieces and the simpler pieces, while the mainline would be horikawa's outlet to design more extreme and experimental pieces.

wish the collar on the obscur was cut tighter...

[eversuns]

So no one has any advice to my question? Would it be better to fix now or not worry about it?

[Ivans On High]

Bt is sure the size small Obscur wont fit me, and I am a little worried about the length and fit myself - so it looks like I will be selling my Medium. To quote D, "I know I can't justify keeping a $1K+ leather jacket if I'm not happy with the way I look in it"

I'm not going to list it in the supermarket right away, so let me know if any one is interested.

And eversuns, just get em fixed. It'll cost maybe $50. Better to do it now.

[btbam]

Wouldnt even be $50 but all shoes should get repaired as soon as any thing like that begins to happen.

Ivans thats really shit mang i wish i could have an answer but i think this is just really an "inbetween" Size problem arg.

[DJI]

I'd consider getting the medium tailored Ivan. the only reason I don't get _7 leather jackets tailored is due to the complex construction and cut, the obscur is a relatively simple cut so it wouldn't be difficult to get it take in a bit through the body and shoulders.

[jbone]

nothing going right for you ivan.. boots and leather!!!!

happy bday for the other day as well man, didnt realise you were that old.. 25 isnt that old but you definitely look younger

[Ivans On High]

That's how I console myself. Keep telling myself I look younger.

[eversuns]

Well I got the heel resoled, cost 23 dollars which included both boots

[Chin]
