@Dr_Heech yea. I need to stop. No jeans for at least few weeks. Ha 

Fixed that for you Edwin mate 😁

Long post and lots of photos. Gave the OOE a long hot soak. Here are some photos and post soak fit shots.  Love the uncoated buttons. So they have already begun to rust.

OOE 1920s jeans

Texture on this Amoskeag denim is wild. Crazy hairy 

[eeejayaich]

I’ve had these for a couple of years. I washed them about 20-25 times. They did not have much starch in them to begin with and have turned into the softest denim I’ve ever worn. The ‘roping’ on the edges of the pockets is my favorite on any I’ve owned.

@eeejayaich Looking good, are these the Cone version or the standard OA fabric version?

They are the Cone version. I remember Ryo going through test samples of this fabric. It took a few iterations to get the qualities he was looking for.

Gave the Amoskeag jeans a wash and dry

Slept on these and now there’s only a 34 on barnstormer - doable but wouldn’t give me the fit I want

So who has the most faded pair of OOE. I saw some pairs form Felonious Monk way back in the thread that looked crazy. 

[ATWM]

Not me! But since the contest is over my 01s are back in rotation at least, though not everyday. Repost of old pics of said pair against an unworn pair of 02s in the same xx4 denim. That top pic is the iPhone being a little dramatic w the contrast. 

[shredwin_206]

@ATWM those look very nice man. Good to see a faded pair. All I see is lots of barely worn pairs on IG.

I like them a lot, but the denim is notably soft, so I expect them to fade more gently with time. It’s not apples to apples because of the era each pair mimics, and these are a size down (31 aka 29) but I like the cut on my WOM 30s jeans better.
The pair behind them patiently waits with others, ha. 

[shredwin_206]

@ATWM yep the softness is something I’m not used to. I like to have my jeans with some crunch or rigidity to them. That’s probably the one thing I don’t love. But nothing a light starching couldn’t fix. 

[olmecasteve]

Here is my pair, nothing like ATWM's, but they're getting there. These are my 03's in what I believe is also the xx4 denim, regardless I would also agree with the denim being soft.

 

 

[ATWM]

@olmecasteve nice! Those were in a variation of the XX4 denim they called “dull” because of from what I understand to be a bit of a grey cast than the normal runs of it - I’ve got that pair too…waiting. So much backed up work to do.

[shredwin_206]

@olmecasteve those looks great buddy. Nice soft fades! Ha 

[olmecasteve]

@shredwin_206

thank you bud!
i'm on the same boat with you on the wanting more crunch to the feel of the denim.  

[bod]

Found a pair of W35 20’s denim, bring them  on! 😬 

[shredwin_206]

@bod hell yea. Post some fit shots when you get them 

[bod]

@shredwin_206 Absolutely I will

Always wanted a cinch back pair.. nearly went for FW then SC42 but these just look tasty

[shredwin_206]

Amoskeag jeans about 80 days of wear 

[bod]

20’s jeans have just left Japan, they took an age to get from Canvas to Zen Market

I expect them to land in the UK sometime this week and receive a nice spanking from HMRC

[bod]

They have arrived

[shredwin_206]

Hell yea man. How you like them? How’s the fit? 

[bod]

@shredwin_206 They’re still raw, I’m waiting for the weekend to shrink them, weather permitting 😬

[MJF9]
