Got these OOE Saddle pants from @scooby! 
@julian-wolf these are the jeans I grabbed. 
Damn near perfect fit. Very cool texture and color to the denim

SOA03XXD size 35 en route….  
seriously done buying jeans for a while now. Hahaha 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Where did you buy them?

[shredwin_206]

@beautiful_FrEaK got lucky and found an unworn one wash pair on grail! He ordered them from Japan but he sized wrong and they didn’t fit him. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I think I saw that pair...or was it another one? At least one W35 was on Grailed for a bit steep price.

WWII OOE arrived. Almost need to go up three sizes for a proper looser fit

Thanks to my constant weight gain, these fit slimmer than I expected the 03 cut from Ooe.

SOA03XXD, size 36

They look great, though. I also find the fit to be on the slimmer side compared to what I was expecting.

[Talan]

In my size, 38, the fit is noticeably looser than the previous OA01-522.

[LazyS]

How does the fit compare to the Freewheelers 47 in 34? I was telling @shredwin_206 I think I'd need a 38 for a loose fit in OA, I've been wearing the saddle pants I got in 2017 in size 35 and the top block is slimmer than I'd like.

[shredwin_206]

@LazyS yea man i think 38 would be needed for a proper loose fit.

This strikes me as a little bit surprising, as my 01's at size 31 have a pretty comfortable top block, more than I'd expected on first wash. 

The only thing is the waist itself, which was pretty small but stretched and is now quite comfortable if even a little loose.

The thighs/seat/hips etc all wear a bit more generously than my FW '51's in size 30.

The rule for OA tends to be size up by 2ish - and I got my 03's in size 32 but they're stashed for now. I'll be surprised if they wear very slim after they hit water, but I guess not as much now seeing the above posts. From what I understand the cuts tend to differ most below the knee.

Correct I sized up two and it’s still quite slim in the top block. 
I imagine they’ll stretch a bit but I expected a looser fit from the get go 

also the FW 51 is a pretty trim cut

Feels funny to me that you think of the ‘51 as trim and still comfortably wear the Saddle Pants. I was never able to get the Saddle Pants up over my thighs at any reasonable waist size, but my ‘51 fit me with a good amount of room to spare.

[AlientoyWorkmachine]

I think of the '51 as moderately trim through the leg I guess, but up top not quite as much - but what I was trying to say was that going TTS with the '51 is only slightly more trim feeling than only sizing up 1 (from TTS) with my '01s.

Which is just to say, the OA top block strikes me overall as neither trim nor loose but pretty "traditional" - and that's a size down from what's suggested. Bodies are different!

I really like the color & texture of how the recent 01s fade. Just a great shade of blue!

seemed a good opportunity to dip my toes into Yahoo Auctions

Congrats?!  

[shredwin_206]

OOE 01. Solid fit 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

That XX4 denim is a real contender in terms of softest denim I own. Even softer than FC's 13.7oz denim I have to say. Creases set hardly.

[Broark]

@beautiful_FrEaK how did you wash your pair? And how many washes so far?
I've only done the initial wash via OA's suggested process (warm bath soak, cold gentle wash) and I'm finding the denim to be a little rigid still after a couple of months.

Also, it looks like OA will be releasing the vest that they had for sale two Inspirations ago, this time in a 10 oz. denim inspired by Amoskeag Mills (produced by Collect).
I think a few people here might have the Cone version, @CSL and anyone else? Interested in your thoughts on it after some time as well as any pictures if it's showing wear.
Never been a vest guy, but seeing them wear it it looks pretty cool and functional.
