you sure Kaj, that the 03 (ww2-cut) has a smaller leg opening than the 02 (66-cut)?!

According to OOE's measurements the 03 has a 3,5 cm bigger leg opening than the 02 in size 36.

All in all, the 02 should be the slimmest of all 3 cuts as it is a 66 cut.

Right, right, right...

02 is the slimmer, more tapered cut - it was late and I was tired.

I copped the 02's looking for a more streamlined fit.  Note that the measurements for all seem to be pretty identical until you hit the mid thigh.  These will be the first pair with a paper patch for me, not sure how I feel about paper patches to be honest...

[Broark]

I'd be interested in some fit pics once you get them gnomes.

Not sure how I feel about the paper patch as well since I've never had a pair with one either.

But nothing wrong with some variation every now and then huh?

I'm willing to bet all your jeans through the 80s and 90s had 'em.  

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Like many, I am also not a fan of paper patches but I have a belt covering the patch anyways

 

The OA02XX has besides the paper patch (and the cut) no typical '60s details like other brand's models have. Like Aho said: hidden rivets, V stitch, no double chainstitch on the waistband, hidden coin pocket selvedge

i was actually just thinking about this.  I wasnt obsessed then though lol

[Ciabatta]

Have you had the chance to soak and wear the 02's yet?

[garden gnomes in space]

Me? no I have not received them yet.  Most likely wont even wash/wear them right away as I need to avoid adding yet another pair into my rotation.

Merry Christmas to all...

 

Pulled my OA01XX's out of the washer/dryer after X-mas festivities and there's no other way to put than saying these are my all time favorite jeans I'll personally wear as mentioned in another thread. Post-wash confirms it. Perfect fit (mid-rise perfect height for my gut and a slimmish straight throughout the leg without being constrictive), insanely comfortable, accurate repro details, construction and materials, perfect denim (balance of lightweight and durability) and all that brilliant Ooe roping. Nothing exaggerated, everything understated; simply put, the best pair of jeans for me! Need to get some pics up when I have light to show you guys what I mean. This is the first 01 cut I've had from Ooe and honestly can't imagine wearing anything else now... :/

 

Measurements are spot on with the chart on Ooe aside from the thighs which are still .5 smaller than listed. Do not sleep on these jeans if 1947 cuts are your thing! I'm sure we've all experienced that never ending search for our own personal holy grail fit; these just do it for me and I knew it as soon as I put them on, much like that feeling when you slip your foot into a perfect fitting boot....Unreal...

trying to figure out how to use my new camera ... so here is a few pics of my 9102's

 

 

 

[edmond]

[aho]

Hey Ed, check out the "After washing" chart towards the bottom:

 

http://ooeyofukuten.ocnk.net/product/2

 

They came out spot on exact compare to the chart. Only difference was the thigh, which is about half an inch less than listed!

[edmond]

fuck i should do a size 38...

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well, then do it

[edmond]

need help man

[aho]

Ed, the denim has some give/stretch to it...What spots are you concerned on? Honestly their sizing advice works like a charm; Measure waist, add 2 inches and buy that size!

[edmond]

alrigth actual waist bro? or waht i wear?

[big truck]

Those OA01XX measurements are golden save for waist. If there was a size 37 it might work with the rationale of going 2 inches up.

[edmond]

yeah a 37 would be perfect !

[Foxy2]

If it helps: 2 up from your samurai size - I'm a W32 in Samurai, but W34 in Ooe...

[tigerstrom]

That helped me foxy! Thanks!

[aho]

In my last sufu post for 2014, I wanted to compare a pair of vintage 1947-51 Levi's to the same era repro from Ooe (faded OA01XX from their blog). The shades of blue may differ due to lighting conditions in the photos, however, this is why I say the denim is so spot on:

 

vs.

 

 

Happy New Year! May your fades be great in 2015!

[Mr-Bielby]

Well Aho was right they do shrink a lot.

The result after two washes. Before and after, please excuse my sexiness.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Nice fit!

Yeah the shrinkage is really strong. Already got that great roping? I am sure

[Mr-Bielby]

Oh yes there is plenty of roping. Shame it'll go when I hem though

[Broark]

I'm going to guess those are the OA02's, correct?

I really need to order a pair...

[Mr-Bielby]

You are correct OA02

[Broark]

How's the paper patch holding up after the initial washes?

Assuming you threw them in the washing machine.  Fit looks good!

[volvo240thebest]

These ooa2 might well be my next jap denim buy, later this year!!! I feel I would love them!
