Selling a bnwot Burgus Plus 770 on ebay.

I was browsing around Hickoree's floor two and found they had just received a shipment of Burgus Plus 700, 770, and one other model I can't remember (it had leather disks between the pockets and the hidden rivets).  

 

I tried on the 770 in a 34 and thought they fit great.  I wasn't really planning to buy anything, but I asked the price and to my great surprise they were selling for only $154! WOW.  Needless to say I bought a pair.  I remember Peter Parker's pair of Burgus Plus from the HWDC looked great.

 

The denim seems very "Japanese" (hairy, slubby, irregular) but I'm not sure if it actually is Japanese at this price (I didn't bother to do any research yet).  The denim is pretty dark, 15oz I think, seems unsanforized, and sold one wash.  They come without arcs and the red tab has been cut off, but the remnants are still visible.  They have all the details I would expect in a pair of high end japanese jeans.  

 

I haven't taken any measurements yet, but the size 34 seems smaller than that, so I think it probably shrinks from tag size.  

 

Pics and measurements to come!

Measurements for a size 34 (one-wash)

 

waist: 33.75", after wearing for a few days so with some stretch

inseam: 33.5"

thigh: 12" measured from inseam to outer edge, 12.5" measuring the entire width of the fabric when laid flat

front rise: 10.5" (pretty short for this size I think)

knee: 9.25

hem: 8.75"

 

I could use another .5 - 1" on the front rise but otherwise I think these have an ideal fit for me.  I'll try to get some pics over the weekend

Close up of the denim, with and without flash.  With flash is better rep of the color; without shows the texture better:

I have about three months of wear on my Burgus Plus Lot 770, and they are starting to show some good progress:

 

 

 

 

My overall impression on these is fairly neutral.  The denim is nice enough, but the details and construction leave much to be desired.  The stitching is overall pretty sloppy and the stitch per inch is very high compared to my pair of Roy.  The buttons also seem fairly cheap.  However, given these were only $150 (and the denim itself is pretty nice) I can't say I expected more. 

 

Here is a comparison of the waistband stitching with my Roy:

 

[Maynard Friedman]

I thought more stitches per inch was a good thing. Would you rather have 1 stitch per inch or 10?

[Quoise1203]

Yes, you are right .  Of course I meant there are fewer stitches per inch than on my Roys.

[Quoise1203]

Another month of wear, another wash:

 

 

 

 

[Quoise1203]

I've still been wearing these most of the time, but have gotten a bit bored of them and was rotating my Samurais in to spice things up. However, I got them out in the sun yesterday and it reiterated that even inexpensive denim can have beautiful colors and texture.

Love the marbling you got on the back of your leg.

[Quoise1203]

Thanks, that is my favorite part as well!

[ranonranonarat]

the back of that calf looks like it has some great potential for some crackling fades!

[Quoise1203]

Gave these a wash the other day and some really great texture is coming out.

I agree Hoggy, we rarely see brands like Burgus Plus and FOB Factory on here...

I haven't done a true evo update on these in about six months. I think it's about time!

That's a cracking pair of jeans. Burgus Plus is definitely on my list!

A nice interview with the Burgus Plus head of product development:

Just ran into burgus plus jeans and jackets at a vintage select shop near my place. They were really nice but everything was in one wash. Has anyone tried their one wash and did it fade well?

[Quoise1203]

The pair several posts above was one-wash

lovely natural indigo model by burgus plus, lot 968xx loosely based on a 60's cut, but rather on a loose sise of things.

I think this is fairly new but might be wrong as I don't check often burgus plus.

don't like the leather patch reinforcements on the back pockets but the cut and fabric look really nice.
