Ooe-Yofukuten & Co.

Here's a cheeky heads up: 

I'm about to stick my S2903s on ebay. Make me an offer if you're interested.

[geL-]

Here is my evo on the OA02 so far:

 

Maybe 4-5 washes

 

 

I need some repair as well:

[Foxy2]

Very nice!

[Broark]

Those look great geL-!

Still consistently wearing my pair for the DWC, been waiting for the two month mark this time around for washes.

No real updates, aside from these:

This one is super overexposed, but I like how you can see the subtleties of the OA denim:

[edmond]

buddy boys what size for OOE? i do the ww2 cut.. 36 or 38? i will wash often. maybe every 3 weeks. stretch ? hows the oa fabric will sretch like wh? or its like a FH?

[Broark]

Ed, the OA denim shrinks from tagged size. So two inches above whatever your waist size is.

I typically wear a 36 in most jeans, my OA02XX's are a size 38 and fit great.

Initially my pair started at 38, shrunk down to around 34 with a hot machine wash and easily stretched out to 36.

In short: the OA denim shrinks a lot and stretches easily.

Looks like Ryo and Hiro just released their chore coats.

Not quite my style but the fabrics look very, very nice!

[garden gnomes in space]

i saw that blue/white check the other day.  really nice, as you would expect.  not really jacket weight though.  more like a heavy-ish shirt

[bradl]

I'm sure the boys over at DB are loving that, but eh. Love that check material, but not that style.

[denihilist]

Same, the material is gorgeous but I'm not feeling the jacket.

[garden gnomes in space]

if it was a shirt, I'd be on it.  

[Max Power]

^Just what I was about to type.

[Foxy2]

I don't mind it - seems fine too me.

If I would see it in a shop and it would fit I might even buy it.

[Broark]

Cross-post from the DWC thread...

Just a quick and dirty update on my OA02XX's. Washed them a couple of weeks ago again, probably will get another wash soon.

For some reason I feel like these hit a wall recently, or maybe I'm just becoming impatient...

Oh well, it's a marathon and not a sprint after all!

 

[aho]

^No worries, not just you! I too am finding that they aren't as easy to fade as I'd initially thought!

[Broark]

I felt like they were just losing indigo very quickly initially but now they've seemed to settle a bit more.

Not going to give up on them yet, the fit and how soft and fluffy the OA denim is is keeping me motivated to wear them.
I might start to give them more washes, but I don't want to lose my paper patch too quickly either!

[Max Power]

 

I'm thinking of selling my seldom used OOE Cotton duck shoulder bag. If you're interested, PM me, I'll also provide better pics then.

Yes start washing them every week they'll look even better for it. I have a pair that don't fit, they'd probably be the best jeans I've never worn.

[lsaylor]

can someone tell me the difference b/w the OAO2xx's714 and the OAO2 515's??

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Same cut, same denim, different details. The 714 offers typical XX details like hidden rivets. 

The number stands for month and year when they were produced 

[lsaylor]

I see, the 714 is the classic or purists version? The Oakland shop just carries the 515.

[lsaylor]

I am into this brand but they seem to be hard to get. Any tips on buying the xx714 ?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

If you can find a pair on the Supermarket or else...is your only chance. Ooe don't do restocks. they produce one run with all the details they want and when it is sold out, it is sold out.

 

The 515 is the "truer" '60s model than the 714

[lsaylor]

thanks for your help!

what size you need?

nevermind, read your info under username...

Yes, I am looking to get the 32 with a 30 inseam in the OAO2xx version

[Broark]

The OA02XX is pretty long sold out.

They don't usually do restocks either.

You could always wait and see what they have coming down the line!

I washed my OA02XX's again today, will post some pictures tomorrow hopefully! Letting them hang dry for a bit then will put them in the dryer for a bit too once they're a little more dry.

[lsaylor]

yeah, guess I am a little late to the party. I will have to keep a look out for what is coming down the line. I am assuming the cuts stay the same but the fabric will change, but not by much?

[Broark]

OA stands for their own custom denim, and what they have been using on most of the jeans they've been making lately.

02 is the cut, which stays the same more or less. It's a high/mid rise with a somewhat tapered leg. It's probably my favorite pair of jeans I own!

I plan on adding another pair of Ooe's at some point, I love what Ryo and Hiro do!

Thanks, so I guess the release date of the 714 and the 515's were as the name implies? The 714's were an xx style and the latest 02's were not available as an xx(the 515's) ?
