The numbers 714 and 515 are indeed dates and are separate from the actual model notations, which consist of fabric type (ex: "OA") and cut.

 

 

Does this mean that the current Standard & Strange collabo OA02-510 was officially released on May 10th, even if the announcement came a week or so later? The reason I'm asking is that I ordered a pair (scheduled for delivery the day after tomorrow - yay), and coincidentally my birthday is on the 10th of May. Seems like destiny, hope we work out well together! 

 

Edit: I even paid for it in part with birthday money.

Thanks b_F, I'll try to be a bit more frequent than usual with the posts! I'm going to Primavera festival in Barcelona next week so hopefully some good photo-ops there.

The jeans are in the house, one day ahead of schedule! I also swung by the post office to pick up a book and a record. Score! The detail shots on Standard & Strange's site are better than the ones I can manage, but fit pics to come soon.

Haha! Being Norwegian, I'm of course also an avid a-Ha completist! Morten did look good in his 501s though: 2pq3q4i.jpg

(Forgive me, couldn't resist the temptation!)

In other news I just made a lousy attempt at fit pics on my way to get groceries. The left one is me miscalculating the self-timer, in the right one I'm anxiously looking at the neighbors to see if they are watching. Both pictures back-lit, hard to see the jeans.

They fit though, phew! Better pics to come.

That steepled tower at the edge of your fit pic looks so out of place in that photo!

 

But, the Ooe's look like they fit great! I reckon the Denimes will fit quite similarly.

Thanks! And that sounds good, looking forward to my turn. 

 

(Haha, I see what you mean: The tower is actually the top of a church on the street below the hill that I live on.)

Damn, I just love a-ha songs. Makes me recall that I listened to their songs in the schooling days.

And nice fit on the jeans, Mandel.

Alright, let's try this again! Took some new fit pics yesterday that are a little better than the previous ones.

This is after one day of wear. A little tight in the top block, but I had no problem with buttoning and I can bike comfortably, which is most important. No doubt that they will stretch a little more.

I'm most pleased!

Measurements on the S&S page were spot-on, only the leg opening is now 7.5" after hemming.

Looks like they fit well! The OA denim has a tendency to stretch pretty easily, so you should get some more stretch it the top block.

Awesome, I'll get back to you within the week hopefully. Gotta wait out some real life events, but I'm very interested in these (don't worry if you'll sell them in the meantime, first come first serve!).

Oooh, my size and a good price, very tempting, I hope Frost buys them before I do something my wallet will regret.

Yeah as long as the fit / measurements are right I'll getting one for sure, regardless of the denim used!

Looks like Ryo and Hiro might be making a denim jacket now, can't wait to see it.  :)

That is true, they are. I've tried it on. 

 

I don't know how many OA fans live in the SF Bay Area, but they will be joining us for Denim Bruin on 7/31. 

 

They're bringing new t-shirts they're making with Mr. Matsuoka (sinker weave knit AND sewn in Ichinomiya), along with a big box of including the "jumper" chore coat, and a few surprises.

 

Full details in this post.

Where can I snag a pair of the OA02 cut in a 35? Every time they restock I'm either broke or don't have a need for jeans but I've got the itch right now.
