Ooe-Yofukuten & Co.

[alvin_cheong]

Nice... went to Barn stormers to take a look at the sizing, it's exactly as what you suggest, Tilman. Thanks.

[mandel9000]

They use the standard Ooe hardware on those jeans, so you should be able to get a replacement.

Thanks, Felonious! I found an old generic button going through my sewing kit and just replaced, figured that wear was more important than authenticity in this case.

I'm visiting my hometown in the north of Norway and went hiking in jeans again, this time the Ooes. It drives my mother, the gear freak, crazy so it's a no-brainer really.

And perhaps a little easier to make out the fit here. (Fun fact: As a kid I ski-jumped a few times in the smallest one to the left, until I ended up in the emergency room.)

Edit: Hmmmm, some trouble with the images via phone, I'll edit later.

Very nice Mandel, especially the annoyance of gear freaks-part.

I really like Norway, beautiful countryside. Where are you from?

OA02XX worn and washed countless times.

Love the vintage blue color that they have these days.

Now I'm asking myself if I need a pair in the 50 year time machine finish. 

[kbuzz]

Curious about the AO2 fit. If you want to end up,post stretch, post wash or two at 36 or bit larger...what size would I be looking at in the new 50 year.....and more,importantly would the front rise be >11 inches?

Thanks...

[Broark]

I'm about a 36 waist and I have two pairs in the 02 fit, both are size 38.

General rule of thumb with Ooe jeans are to go two inches above your normal waist size.

Can't give you an exact on the 50 year finish since I don't have those (yet) but I'm guessing this will still be the case.

THE NEW OA X S&S HAVE ARRIVED!

 

I'm going to let you guys have at it first, before I start blasting it out around the internets. Check the size chart carefully. They do stretch to actual tag size with wear - my 35's measure 35, my 36's 36, and Neil's 34, measure an actual 34.

That's accurate - I'm guessing if you lay out your pairs of 36 and measure them, they'll all be 19" across laid flat.

 

The 50 year treatment won't impact the stretch of the denim, as far as we can tell from playing around with it.

The activity in this thread made me wear my OA02XX today

 

Great fit on your pair Mandel!

 

@broark: my pair is still significantly darker

Just wash 'em frequently and they'll get there! 

The 50 year time machine treatment looks sweet, do these also have the back pocket lining that the other S&S models have?

Really, really don't need another pair of jeans. But if they stick around for awhile I'll snag a pair.

[mrsmiff]

We dropped the back pocket lining for these.

Is there any chance you might be able to add a photo of them directly against a dark denim finish (OA or otherwise)? It's difficult to see the contrast in the photo of the 125 year vs new finish shown further up this page, and I'm curious to see how noticeable the greencast is in the 50 year finish.

 

I too need another pair of jeans like I need another hole in my head, but my older pair of OA02XX are probably my favorite jeans out of everything I've worn. The possibility of a pair with a leather patch and slightly lighter/greener cast is very very tempting.

Thanks, Bobbo! I'm from Tromsø originally and that's where the photos were taken, but I have lived in Oslo since I finished high school ages ago.

hi guys, i am interested in getting my first pair of ooe and my choice will be OA01XX-0614. 

Could anyone do me a favor and describe what the denim feels like ?     And just to confirm if my sizing is correct, my best fitting jean has a waist size of around 35 inches (BiG style), so I should go for size 38 for OA01XX-0614 right?    coz i'm afraid the denim may stretch back to original waist size. Greatly appreciate your advice !

[beautiful_FrEaK]

where do you plan to buy? Ooe only has a size 30 left.

The denim is the same as on almost all Ooe releases, their signature OA denim. The denim is pretty soft after a bit of wear and stretches quite a bit. Bases that your best fitting jeans measure 35" at the wast, a size 36 in Ooe might work. I have a similar size and own a pair of size 36.

It's actually quite hard to get an accurate photo of this - we're working on it!

[mrsmiff]

I have just one of these special t's made by m&o mfg (Ooe working with Mr. Matsuoka) left over from Denim Bruin. It's a size 40 - roughly a medium with a 39" chest

 

$120 SOLD.

thx for your advice. i am not familiar with the business mode of OOE, do i dont understand why there is such a low stock at the moment.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Because they do single runs and the pair you have an eye on was produced in June 2014, so over 2 years ago. 

 

It's similar to Roy's way of business. Producing one batch of jeans they want to do and when it's sold out, it's sold out.

[Broark]

Got a new phone and wanted to see how the camera is, so I took some quick shots of my OA02XX's.

[Broark]

So while browsing Instagram I saw these photos.

Looks like the One Yofukuten type II we saw awhile back. I need one of these ASAP...

[guthriegking]

Oh man, I'm gonna need that too!

[aho]

^lol been hitting them up for this, but also really want a Type 1...

[Broark]

Wouldn't mind a type I either!

If they let you know any details spill the beans, insta cop for me.

[aho]

^Unfortunately hard to reach these days....Let's convince Jeremy to do a run with S&S! (Jeremy, we know you're reading this...)  And in an 80+year finish fabric to boot!

Denim jacket contest to go along with the next jeans contest!

[guthriegking]

I knew you would be all about this aho! Jeremy, lets make this happen. More ooe/S&S for me

...Mindblown, not sure why I didn't think of this!

[Broark]

I'd be at a serious disadvantage living in Texas but I'd do my best to wear an Ooe tux as much as I possibly could. 

[guthriegking]

An ooe tux (possible contest) would be too good
