Ooe-Yofukuten & Co.

I actually had that denim on my mind when writing my post

[aho]

^LOL was going to say, 43 and 91 (?) fit the bill there...I still want a pair in #36 but what can you do!

[Flash]

Shameless sale bump

Selling this pair of s9202xx from a few years ago when custom options were still available

Asking £120 shipped

I'll make a supermarket thread in a day or two ( pics of this pair are all through this thread in the mean time )

[Bobbo]

Such a shame mate, I'm sure they'll get snagged real quick.

[aho]

Complete long shot here, but I'm asking Ryo and Hiro if they'd consider a special run/group buy/"contest" (commence eye rolls) in the near future. It's really just an excuse for me to get a pair in a new fabric/semi-custom since they no longer do custom orders lol. My ideal would be an 02 cut in either a new/un-tested fabric, or in something like the 43 or 92 denim, which I've been fiending for for years...Coulda, shoulda, woulda...

 

I really do like the 43 though, and it has fast fading properties from what I've seen from back in the day. A nice light blue hue that does well with frequent washing, very vintage-esque.

[Broark]

I would kill to be in on this aho. Count me in! 

[Bobbo]

If that long shot would go in, I feel like we'll have another great contest to look forward to. Definitely in on this!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Just keep me informed; )

[tigerstrom]

Liking the sound of this!

[Bobbo]

Haha, full on contest rage in the Ooe thread. 

[aho]

Honestly it's the camaraderie that makes me enjoy "contests", even when I end up not fully participating (in shame). One thing is for sure, I know Ooe's will fit me, and I know my size so there can be no excuse on my end IF this is a go! I know their hands are tied but it'd sure be a nice gesture on their end if they could make it a reality. Updates to come if/when I hear back!

[bradl]

I'd be in. Been loosing interest in my sda, and looking for something a few months down road.

[volvo240thebest]

good stuff Aho! possibly interested

[ironheartfan123]

definitely interested in seeing a contest, likely interested in getting a pair if there are a few bells and whistles and the price isn't higher (or that much higher) than retail

[redragon]

Really don't need another Ooe in my life but if this go through I can see my resistance crumble easily, the 1st contest is alot of fun!

[JohnM]

Great idea Aho. Hope it happens and couldn't resist if it does!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I assume this won’t be a model where everyone can customize his pair but rather a single run of some details we/aho agreed on?!

 

I’d be fine with that!

[nycsurfer530]

Realistically this would start april(ish)? That would give me a solid year in my special run full counts...

Very tempting.

[aho]

Deafening silence on Ooe's end so far but I'll give them a few days to respond per usual!

 

As far as the pair, I'm thinking it's best to have one specific model rather than multiple customized ones. I don't see them jumping on board otherwise since they'd need to streamline things for cost efficiency given all of their other priorities/obligations. That said, I'm wanting an 02 cut with 01 details (leather patch, hidden rivets). The cut should be versatile enough for all of us (size up if you want looser, suck in your gut if you want slimmer), and if we can get denim other than the OAXX it'd be a win for all. Not that there's anything wrong with OAXX, but the idea is to get something outside what's available otherwise! (DAMN I wish #78 was still available......)

 

Glad to see the enthusiasm though! We had around 18 contestants on the original contest thread so it's good to see we could have a similar level of participation IF this is to go through. Crossing my fingers!

 

nyc, I'm also aiming for April/March on my end 

[tigerstrom]

The combination with 02 cut and 01 details sounds nice! I really hope they are positive to do this!

[Broark]

One detail I would also like to see would be some different pocket back fabric, I remember one contest pair had this great red/black/blue striped denim fabric that looked really cool.

Just anything different would be nice!

[JohnM]

Specs sound perfect aho!  As busy as Ryo and Hiro are, I could see a small contest with a dedicated following appealing to them. Here's to hoping!

[Flash]

@Broark

the fabric is beautiful mate 

 

 

on a side note ..... ive decided to keep the Ooe's 

[aho]

Welcome back flash!

 

Any prodding you could provide to convince Ryo and Hiro would be much appreciated as well... 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

A 4302XX with some nice pocket bag material and some lemon, golden and brown stitchings...What else could one want?

[Flash]

thanks  

 

dont think id have any more influence than anyone else tbh mate  , spent ages emailing them about Jyoni's contest prize ,,,, cant even remember if they replied in the end ( but i do think Jyoni ended up getting it sorted out )

[bradl]

Can't seem to find the pm you sent me aho regarding ooe cuts. 02 is more of a 60s cut?

[aho]

^Indeed, 02 is the 60's cut! Top block is pretty much the same though in my opinion to the 01, you mostly see the difference in the taper/leg opening

[erockisalive]

Very tempting. I've been lurking on the Ooe page for quite a while.

[bradl]

Excellent, hoping finances would be good if this goes through. Really want to get a solidly constructed payout of jeans as my last two pairs have been let downs in different areas.
