@spacecadet The weave does seem on the tight side. Also the denim is quite heavy and stiff so far, sitting around the skin in places rather than directly on. I'm sure this will change as they soften and loosen. I'm not saying you couldn't wear them in southern CA weather year round, but it would take some dedication. The fades would be great though!

@tigermilk I appreciate the honesty. Thanks.

As promised here are some detail photos of the jacket, the fabric is really unique.
Has a shade of royal blue that contrasts enough with regular denim and the light weight fabric makes it very versatile for the climate here.
I think the color is most accurate in the photo showing off the weft and the union tag.

^ yes, yes and hella-yes

ever want to send it on a world-tour, i'm game! lol

[kaloph]

Kinda glad the new Golden Gates are sold out in size 34 already tbqh, I was awful tempted to pick up this pair even as I was questioning the price.

[Broark]

Well I missed out on the Golden Gate jeans unfortunately, so I have to ask what's next for Ooe and S&S?
I saw that they had some pants at Inspiration. I'm always looking for another Ooe release.

Check out the Denim Blunders thread if you’re into denim ‘releases’! 

[Bobbo]

^^ Did you snag a pair in their new OA-denim? It looks really good.

A run in the 01-cut is supposed to be made after the 02 one that we've already seen released.

[garden gnomes in space]

I wanted the Golden Gate because of the 01 cut but the denim raw was like 16.5 oz.  Thats too heavy in my opinion.  I would love an OA01 cut with the normal denim...

[StrangeNeil]

We're working on a couple new projects with OA, they'll be entirely new silhouettes you haven't seen them make before. 

OA are visiting our shop in Oakland today and I'll post up some pics of the pants they had at Inspiration.

I've been out of the game too long! Are these OA02's in the newest OAXX denim?:

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yes they are

[aho]

Been eyeing that 38, it's insane to think....My 36" Ooe's no longer fit!

[garden gnomes in space]

those measurements scared me off, despite the statement that they stretch out.  a tagged 38 measures 32" !!!!!!

[aho]

^Good point; S&S don't line up the top and bottom rise when measuring the waist, but even still that might be tighter than I'd prefer. Seems the shrinkage is fairly high for this new fabric!

[Broark]

I haven’t picked up the new OA fabric yet, but might in the future if I see them made in the 01 cut. Looking forward to whatever the S&S guys have in store, I know one of you (Neil or Jeremy) mentioned you were going to try to convince them to make some fatigue pants in reverse sateen. That would be sweet!

Fatigues - That's a little ways down the line, we've got a couple of other secret projects in front of those.

The new OAXX in 01 cut - we're going to order in a run of those shortly. I've been really enjoying the '01, it's really just-right.

These measurements seem insane to me! Has the cut been modified? My OA02 from a year or so ago in a 35 don't measure close to any of those measurements. I know its a different denim but still...

[goodrain]

Is the 01 a straight cut or does it have a taper? Does anyone have pictures of what a post wash 32ish inch waist jean looks like?

The measurements are post-wash, and it's the same cut. My experience with all 4 pairs of OA I own has been the same - the waist will return to raw measurements after wearing. 

With my personal size 36 Golden Gate 01's, I could barely close them raw, and after a hot soak, it took me about 15 minutes to get them buttoned up again. Now they're perfect.

Would it be too much to expect a size 38 to stretch back out to a 38? My wash/dry routine is pretty frequent and without care, I worry they'd stay tight after a while

I think they'll be ok. My 36 are up to about a 37 now.

[Bobbo]

Ooe just dropped the OA01 in the new XX denim. 

https://ooeyofukuten.ocnk.net/ 

[garden gnomes in space]

Just copped a pair.  Been waiting for this for a few years now ya heard?!?!

 

[goodrain]

How did you size? So a tagged 32 will stretch back out to a 32 waist?

[JohnM]

I see Ooe has OA01XX-1217 and OA02-1017 on their site.  Both are 13.4 oz and 01 is the wider cut, but what are the denim differences (again)?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The 02 cut has more taper. The top block is similar (at least it used to be this way). The 01XX has more XX details. Hidden rivets for example. Denim should be the new one on both.

i just go by their chart.  I never size my jeans with the end fit being reliant on severe stretching.  I want to wash, dry and put on with no gymnastics required for a comfortable fit.  

[Bobbo]

^ I second this advise. I'm usually a 33 in most brands these days but go with a 35 in the OA02 cut. They fit me perfectly so I ordered a pair of 01XX in the same size, going by the measurements.

[owlofminerva]

^  Hmmm.  I think this is *usually* sound advice, but I found that OAs stretch A LOT, quite quickly, and without much effort.  I sized up one from the tagged size in the Saddle Pants because I was worried they would be too tight.  It took about ten minutes of wear for them to fit comfortably around the waist.  Within a day or two they were significantly more baggy in the thigh than I would have liked.  I still love them, don't get me wrong.  But in hindsight I think I maybe should have gone with the tagged size.  I suppose it depends on what kind of fit you are going for... (and maybe how active you are...)

[Broark]

Really tempted to grab the OA01s in the new denim, plus I just sold two pairs from my collection and sent the TCB contest jeans back...
