Ooe-Yofukuten & Co.

[scooby 3,518]

Haven't been contributing anything lately. fit after a couple washes on my 01 in the XX2 denim. shrunk vertically quite a bit more after the last wash. flooding with a cuff makes the length 'work' a bit better otherwise I'd prefer them a touch longer

Doing the denim a disservice by wearing them right now, the crotch could also use a minor repair. you can see the true color of the denim in this photo, though

Great work! Ironically, I'm holding off on washing with my latest pair of Ooe's, I may make it to a year yet, no wash (going good since starting them in July)!

How is the new denim compared to their previous stuff?

This is some XX4 fabric left in my washing machine for around 3 months. I'd describe it as among the fastest fading of any of the fabrics before it, and less stiffer/hairier than XX3 (which I found a bit too stiff/heavy feeling). The original O.A-XX fabric is still my favorite (XX1 if following the same format) as it yields some crazy good vintage fades, but I'm excited to see how my XX4 fabric will turn out. I'd rank them as a faster fading O.A-XX, and my second favorite of the four (followed by XX3 and XX2) for whatever it's worth!
 

Past fabrics described by Neil and S&S:
"These are done up in an all-new XX3 fabric, which, typical for OA, is very subtly different from their previous XX2 denim. The XX3 fabric feels a bit hairier and stiffer than the XX2, but the shrinkage is the same between XX2 and XX3 fabrics. It also has a grey weft compared to the white weft on the XX1 fabric."

"Speaking of the fabric, these are made from Ooe's new XX4 denim. The product of years upon years of research, these are a 13.5oz, 100% cotton, 7x7 selvedge denim with a white ID, loomed in Japan exclusively for Ooe, and to their exact specifications. The warp threads are dyed with a green-cast indigo, specifically chosen to age like sample fabrics from the 1940s - with gray weft threads selected for the same purpose. Slightly hairy and surprisingly soft (even while raw) these are a comfortable mid-weight fabric that fades relatively quickly and can be worn almost year-round."

Wow thanks, awesome response. I’d love to get a pair, but those inseams from holk look absurdly short.

Standard & Strange has a pair coming up, but it'll be Cone denim in a 1927 saddlepant cut (though the inseams will likely be longer):

One can wear it in Hayashi-san style.

The denim is the XX2 and the cut is the 01. They're the best looking/feeling jeans I've ever owned. Trying my hardest to not fuck them up like I usually do

They sold out online in like 30 min, pretty crazy.

[shredwin_206 7,589]

Wasn’t interested at all. I don’t like the whole hype and rush to buy. 
I got that out of my system with Roy stuff back in the day. Haha 

[Talan 441]

I'll wait for the next batch for Japanese retailers at a real world price and without the S&S style crazy few-minutes sale. Besides, I don't particularly like the look of these, glad Ryo and Hiro made for S&S such style and not the one I would be sorry to miss.

Yes, at S&S.

[mk3radial 150]

Yes saw it thank you.

I prefer the classic OA01.

Lol I feel exactly the same.

 

[Toegun 2,872]

Still have 3 other S&S pairs barely touched. 

[Broark 16,879]

I saw these at the shop in Santa Fe earlier this week, they’re nice but I already have two pairs of the same Cone from Barnstormer. 

I agree that the hype is kinda annoying. Glad they’re successful though.

How many wash in total? You are wearing it since how long?

Thanks

Any idea when they got their stock for in-store sales? I’d assumed it was at the same time as for online sales and was thinking of stopping by later today to try and check them out, but if they’ve already been getting picked through all week then I’m probably too late…

[Broark 16,879]

@julian-wolf I’m not 100% sure about this but they told me they weren’t going on sale until Friday (when I saw the pair they were just being unboxed), so my guess is they had one collective pool of inventory for both online and in-store shopping. 

[julian-wolf 7,964]

Glad that they weren’t selling them early. I’m pretty sure that they were gonna try to keep some separate stock for in-store sales (they usually seem to), but who knows whether it will have lasted the full day and a half…

[MJF9 10,942]

Ooe x Bandanna Almanac... I've been wearing these only an hour a day in the morning and the odd day / evening so definitely slow burners.  Hard to tell from the photos but some really lovely blue coming gently through

[mpukas 2,384]

I had scored a pair of the saddle pants from S&S when they went live. I don't have any OOE, so I thought I'd try. But after looking at the cut and details, I didn't like them enough so I called and cancelled the order. Someone else will enjoy them more than I would have. Plus, this is turning into a very expensive year for me, and I've put a lock on my wallet...

Probably a wash every month, maybe 6 months of wear? 

[mk3radial 150]

It seems that Crossover will get some more OA01XX
