JohnM 640 Posted September 4, 2018 I wear a 34 in TCB 50s and 36 in Ooe 01. The top blocks are fairly similar in both pairs (of different tag sizes) but the TCBs are a bit wider from the thigh down. The overall line of the two cuts is pretty similar though the TCB is wider below the top block. If I were to compare size 34-to-34 or 36-to-36, the Ooes would be considerably smaller everywhere. Another way of putting this, just as the Ooe 01 is wider than the Ooe 02, the TCB is wider than the 01. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
owlofminerva 97 Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Just got my pair of Boss Overalls. I’m anticipating these will be in heavy rotation this fall. They look <kissing fingers emoji>. Love the high rise. Definitely a fuller cut than I’m used to — I think these are a true straight leg cut — but hey, I’m not as skinny as I once was. And I’m definitely planning on making use of those extra buttons once I find the right accessory. Will post pics when I do. One thing I didn’t even notice until a few days of wear — it’s a feature I’m so used to seeing at this point that I guess I even see it when it isn’t there — is the lack of selvedge. Anyone know the story with that design choice? A pretty bold move! Edited September 6, 2018 by owlofminerva 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broark 7,816 Posted September 6, 2018 There’s actually some selvedge inside the coin pocket! I like the no slevedge look on these. Much more of a true workwear vibe. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
owlofminerva 97 Posted September 7, 2018 Yeah, not complaining at all. But surprised. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broark 7,816 Posted September 30, 2018 Loving these Boss pants so far, might give them a wash soon. Hope the S&S crew can give us a tease of what Ooe has in store for us! 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would you recommend sizing up or buying true to size on the Hercules? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxy2 7,328 Posted October 16, 2018 I did size down 1 - be aware this is an odd cut, must like high rise... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsmiff 782 Posted October 17, 2018 The latest batch of OA02XX just landed. We went raw this time, no rinse. They're cut from the new OAXX3 denim OA had made up, which is very similar to the OAXX2 - we had cuts from all 3 generations of their denim sitting on the table at their house. From the first to the second is super obvious, but from second to third - even Ryo had a hard time picking it out. 13.5oz unsanforized selvedge denim exclusive to Ooe Yofukuten 100% cotton Extra-deep front pockets Extra-long 40" (pre-soak) inseam Hidden rivets on the back pockets Iron top and fly buttons O.Y. & Co copper rivets 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigermilk 289 Posted October 17, 2018 @mrsmiff ha! came hear to see if i could glean the differences between the OAXX2 and XX3 denims. sounds like they’re pretty similar! which is great, because i think that OAXX2 was pretty special. any other details about how the new and prior differ? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's not a substantial difference between the two - XX3 is a replica of XX2 with new yarns, as the yarn maker that produced the yarns for XX2 burned down, and OA had to start over again to match it. There is a slight change in the color of the weft, however. Edited October 17, 2018 by mrsmiff 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnM 640 Posted October 17, 2018 Beautiful jeans Jeremy. Never enough Ooe's. Saw Neil, Elliott, and Gen (sp?) today -- much that's tempting, but Ooe is a no-brainer. Seems to fit almost every body type and made and sewn beautifully by Ryo and Hiro. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foxy2, 01 and 02 are the same up top, with more room from the knee down on the 01. I like 'em both but prefer 02 -- my favorite cut of jeans, period. I don't think 03 is a cut!

Those were the 3 cuts they issued for the revamp of their online store back in late 2014.

Broark 7,816 Posted November 25, 2018 Did anyone happen to pick up the Golden Gate jeans in 36? All my others Ooe’s are 38 but I feel like I could maybe make these work in 36 depending on the shrink/stretch. Thinking about buying the last pair and taking advantage of the S&S Black Friday deal. Might be wishful thinking though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be wishful thinking though. I have the GG in 36. Top block is similar to other Ooe OA 01 and 02 jeans. So I’d stick with 38 if that works best for you in other Ooes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broark 7,816 Posted November 25, 2018 @JohnM could you post some measurements if you have the time? They might be too small but my Ooe’s tend to be a little bit big in the waist after some wear. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
