^ Compared to 01, 02 is a little slimmer and 03 is a little wider at the bottom.  Top block fit is pretty similar on all three cuts.

02 is a 60s cut, and 03 is a WW2 cut, I believe.

Thank you both for the info!

anyone knows which generation of XX fabric is this 1015 model？

my old pair of time machine OA02s, which i encountered tonight hanging in S&S NYC’s window…. best place for them!

Was just reaching out to S&S regarding adding a hem to my pre-order of the SOA03XX. Decided against it after looking at the post-shrink length and wanting to wear these a little long. Most importantly, the first batch should arrive at S&S in the next couple of weeks and shipped shortly after. Excited to see these in person.

Finally deciding to wear these saddle pants. The cone denim is so blue

Massive pockets

Not sure if you've seen on social media, but first batch is arriving at S&S now, and the second batch will be going to Barnstormers.

[julian-wolf]

Yep, saw that. Looking forward to getting the update from Barnstormers. Might have to swing by S&S this weekend to get a little sneak peek…

I should have placed my order for store pickup and taken a weekend trip up north to make a whole event out of it

OA03 cut is very nice. Size 32. 33 would have also fit, but I'm liking the fit a lot. Gave them a 1-hour soak in the hottest water my bathtub provides, and then a warm machine wash on gentle with no detergent. They shrank to slightly below S&S's predicted measurements, so I'm confident they are fully shrunk at this point.

Denim is really, really nice. I don't have anything similar to it in feel or appearance.

Great fit!  To me, the w32 fits great even with a hot bath.  Wonder why you think w33 would also fit?

so you just get size up 1inch by you usual size (31)?  

Was on the fence because I found the hem a bit too wide on measurement. But yours look great.

Usually with OA the rule is to size up 2 from normal, not one. I tend to be between 29-30 depending on brand and cut and my OA's (01) in 31 shrunk to pretty snug in the waist (but stretched out easy) but great everywhere else. I took a 32 with the 03's for a (hopefully) looser, slightly oversized fit. My guess is the waist will shrink but barely stretch back out due to lack of tension on it - but I don't think I'll see them for a few months to know. This is to say, I'm in a similar spot where I think 2 diff sizes will work for me.

After wearing these out all day today, I take it back and think these are spot on. The waist and hips were very snug initially but they’ve already stretched to be comfortable. The rise could be slightly higher on these for me, but that’s fine. 33 would have given a more classic, wider fit which I was almost expecting, but since these have zero taper whatsoever, they accomplish that in the leg opening.

Edit: And yeah, my size for most Japanese brands is 31 or 32, very occasionally a 30 (as I’ve learned with newer Denime). I’m a 32 with Warehouse 800xx or 31 in 1001xx, 31 for all TCB cuts I own (I would be 32 for their 50s), and 31 in most FC cuts.

Mine shrunk to 29.5" in the waist. S&S put 29.9" as their post-wash, so I think that's pretty spot on for the most part.
