there’s a size 38 BNWT olive cossack for sale on ebay  

[Broark]

@roomtemplacroix you should buy it! I'm looking forward to wearing mine once the temps cool down.
There's also a pair of 34 Golden Gate jeans on eBay, I'd love to find a 38. Shouldn't have slept on those.

I sized up in the waist by one so that the thighs wouldn’t be too tight. I believe I have around 6-7 months of actual wear. 
 

I'm a huge fan of this denim but will look into a different cut next time.

Hemmed at 28" though...

[Thanks_M8]

^Perfect fot that preppy hayashi san look, that's all the rave lately, me included.

[JRendon02]

Gave these another wash. Same pants as above. I think this was wash 6 or 7. I don't keep count of wash and wears very well. 

 

I'm happy with the roping on the hem and yoke. No train tracks yet. I'm really enjoying the shade of blue these are starting to form. These are fades are brought to you by me sitting at a desk 30-36 hours a week. I really need to be more active in my denim.

Fades update on my One Yofukuten OA02-1017. Duration: 1 year and a half. Actual wear, around 9 months or more. 2 hand washes 8 machine washes (first with warehouse's detergent and lately with Superstitch laundry detergent which is quite aggressive and lighten them up). As with all my denim, the yoke's stitching got destroyed rather quickly. Repaired the whole with hand backstitch with waxed yellow linen thread that are also fading with washes. How awesome!

 

I'm still in love.

 

The contrasts are less important in person. Photos taken under the noon sun!

Another wash and some time in the sun. It's 103 outside today so they dried out pretty quickly.

All the washed Ooe jeans are making me eager to see what my less washed pair will look like. The damage shown on the back left rivet and pocket are from a golf carting accident. Just started the 8th week of wear.

i too am eager to see how these turn out after washing. they look great! 

[Broark]

Interesting choice going with the belt/cinch combo there, I haven't worn my pair with a belt at all.

OA02, from Canvas store. Had these hemmed at DC4 some weeks ago.

Great looking jeans b_F! I think that's one of your best-fitting pairs.

[Broark]

I feel like the 02 cut sized correctly fits just almost every build well. Not too tapered, not too wide.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks gents! Yes, I'm glad I got them again a size down 

[JohnM]

^ 35, right b_F?  They look great on you.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yes John, these are a size 35

[MJF9]

@beautiful_FrEaK looking good... did Canvas ship direct or did you proxy?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@MJF9 they told me in perfect English that they couldn't ship overseas so I had to use a proxy. Went with FromJapan, the whole transaction cost 300¥ fee and their repack service allowed me to use the small e-packet which is similar in speed as EMS but cheaper.

[dudewuttheheck]

Those do fit incredibly well and I agree that this cut is pretty universal. I regret selling my old pair.

[Broark]

I’m just keeping my fingers crossed for a run of the 02 in that deadstock Cone. 

[MJF9]

@beautiful_FrEaK result!
Will FromJapan mark the package value as requested? (Apols if this has been covered elsewhere before)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

They let you declare it as a gift and if I remember correctly, I was able to adjust the value (but don't count me on that  )

[dudewuttheheck]

That's cool that the proxy service will do that. I wouldn't have expected that. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Well, in the case of a fuck up and lost package, the damage is totally on your side though.

yeah of course, but some of the stores have even refused to lower the declared value for me. Maybe I have no good reason to be surprised that the proxy service would do it. I have not had to use one yet. The last time I needed to proxy something, I was lucky that a friend was willing to help me out.

[Radiohead89]

[roomtemplacroix]

another wash. i’m really glad i have a backup pair of these to keep on ice for a good while.

Washing my 01 and 02 today

 

Had to hem my 02 at home, no practical way to get them chain-stitched at the moment
