@owlofminerva The saddle pants are looking great! Such cool and beautiful details on that pair, glad you’re liking them so far.

Just wanted to chime in on the fades - I’m pretty sure the jeans you’ve got are a different denim than ALB and Broark’s pairs higher up on the page. Those both look like their contest pairs, which used a denim that got very “streaky” vertical fades and stayed a little darker in spots with a greyish cast as it faded. The original OA denim (as used in the saddle pants) seems to fade a bit more evenly, without the heavy vertical falling, and to more of a classic medium blue tone. Really gorgeous in its own right, but quite different in character. Also the OA denim is perhaps the most comfortable I’ve ever worn, especially with that crazy stretch you mention.

Just to illustrate the contrast, here’s my two pairs of Ooe jeans at somewhat similar levels of fading, with the contest denim on the left and the OA denim used in the saddle pants on the right.

Thanks, @felonius monk.  That is super helpful.  Also, your jeans look awesome.

@FeloniousMonk you see, it’s posts like this that make me want to quit buying denim...and just wear the stuff i already have. see what i did there?  Ooe makes my favorite denim, hands down. thanks for sharing the photo!

Just a quick PSA that Standard and Strange received stock of their Ooe collab OA01XXS jeans.

 

[goodrain]

is the patch the only thing that is different?

[Broark]

Deeper pocket bags, longer inseam length and poly-core stitching are the other differences.
I prefer 100% cotton stitching but I understand the choice.
I'm just waiting for the next Ooe contest. 

[jegr]

@Broark Has anyone heard anything concrete from Ooe as to when they would be willing to entertain a contest batch?

I'm thinking about picking up the collab from Standard and Strange. How are people liking their OA01XX-1217's?

I know there was a lot of talk when they came out but I haven't heard much on how they are coming along.

Fit pics anyone? 

Is it still the consensus that sizing +2 is the way to go?

[Broark]

@jegr nothing concrete at all, just hoping for another pair soon!

Definitely size up jegr -- +2 sounds about right.

[goodrain]

+2 worked out well for me

Thanks!  I’m really happy with the way they shrunk up with the wash. I was initially worried they would be much too large but sizing +2 as everyone recommended was the way to go.

[diggers]

Proper Fit @jegr

 

 

 

[aho]

Anyone want to hit up the standard & strange folk for an Ooe contest?

[Broark]

sign me up. 

[aho]

I'm in need of an 02 cut!

[Broark]

I was personally thinking 01 but I’m in regardless to be honest.  I might pick up a pair of the new denim OA01’s to hold me over. 

[julian-wolf]

^ I'd definitely be in if it was the 01. I've been thinking for a while that my next main pair of jeans would be from Ooe, and trying on the 01sxx last time I was in S&S confirmed my longstanding suspicions that the cut's just about perfect for me.

[longshanks]

I’d be in for some 02’s. 

[aho]

01 cut is perfect, no doubt, I just selfishly need something slimmer as my TCB20's are making me crave something else to mix it up! 

[Thanks_M8]

Hi, been lurking for a few weeks and decided to join, now that I've read about an OOE-contest.

Would be interested as well!

[Bobbo]

Damn you Aho. Might join this one, preferably in a 02.

[SLAB]

mmmm Ooe contest; must...resist...

[Hendsch]

I'd be up for that!

[JohnM]

My #17 02 jeans from the last contest are just starting to look good. Can I submit these at the end of the next contest? ;-)

[mrsmiff]

Sounds like you guys want to do another contest, right?

is everyone thinking 5 pocket 01 or 02; OR do you all want to do something more advanced like the Boss or Hercules?

[Broark]

I’m more in the 5 pocket realm regardless of cut, but I’m open to pretty much anything. Just want another Ooe contest.
