02 fit in GG denim if someone collects votes

[Broark]

No offense to the golden gate denim but I think I would prefer something unique to this contest personally.
I agree on the motion of just a straightforward 5 pocket pair of jeans, maybe we can do the bias-cut coin pocket like on the golden gate jeans.

[srudy]

I'd be in!  I've acquired a few Ooes now and would love to jump in on this, either 01 or 02 or something different sounds good to me.

This sounds great to me and Jeremy. We've been sorting out a special collab jean/pant for Denimbro for the past 6 months, so the Denimbro pant will be first in line. That one will be a late 19th / early 20th century work pant in 10oz or lighter fabric - so very different from an OA-01 or OA-02 jean in a special denim...

I know this is for another forum, but I'd love to get in on a 10oz work pant. I would dust off my contest legs and sign up for a new forum to get down for sure.

contest is over on the DenimBro forum... no new details yet, but sounds pretty intense! can't wait to see what Ooe come up with this time around

[Broark]

Oh man, those new Ooe’s that S&S are teasing on their Instagram story look damn good. 

[Broark]

And I just ordered a pair! They will be something different for sure.
Been wanting a pair of jeans with the double knee and having a cinchback will be nice after I had to send my TCB contest 20's back.
Pictures to come. 

[MJF9]

They look really good. Looking forward to the pics @Broark.

[Broark]

Can't wait to get them! Especially the lighter weight denim, will be a nice change from my CSF.
I'll definitely need a hem though with an inseam starting at 40. Didn't see any option of having them hemmed at purchase.

[julian-wolf]

^ Pretty sure S&S hems Ooe jeans for free on request. Can't hurt to shoot them an email.

[Broark]

Just shot them an email now!

[MJF9]

@Broark just noticed that the inseam on the new Ooe shrinks to 36 post wash. I wear my Ooe x Bandanna Almamac with a ~2.5 inch folded cuff as I think it suits the style - so that's essentially ~7 inch on top of the hem length (factoring in my wobbly cuffing :)). I'm sure you've factored in your cuffing preference but thought I'd throw that in there just in case mate.

Yup we do free hems on all OA jeans, all done in-house on a Union Special 43200G. Just shoot us an email if you want a hem, we're in the process of launching our new website which will have the add-a-hem feature....

[Broark]

@MJF9 thanks man, I squared things away with S&S. Got them hemmed to 36 so that they’ll be about 32 post wash. I’m not big on big cuffs these days so that’ll leave me a small cuff or no cuff. Looking forward to getting them in!

[mpukas]

@Broark that seems a bit short for you, no? 

[Broark]

@mpukasbelieve it or not but that’s actually where I hem the majority of my jeans. I have short legs for my frame. 

[Broark]

These pants are awesome! They are totally unlike anything I own, so that's reason enough for me to justify the purchase.
Pre wash the fit feels quite roomy, but I know how Ooe jeans shrink up so I think they'll be great after a trip through the washing machine.
Here are some photos, the denim is beautiful. Perfect lighter weight for the 100 degree days we're still experiencing here.
The stitching is immaculate as you come to expect from Ooe, especially the one piece fly.

[mpukas]

@Broark nice score! awesome pair. Fit pics? I'm curious to see what they look like worn IRL. 

[Broark]

@mpukas thanks man, I’ll try to get some photos tomorrow. They’re very easy to wear so far, I though the detailing might be too much for everyday wear but so far I like them a lot. Really happy with the fit after a wash and trip through the dryer. 

[Broark]

A couple of post wash photos and a comparison of the original hem and the S&S hem.

[mpukas]

How are those front pockets? They look really tight...

[Broark]

They’re not too bad actually, the pockets on my CSF are a lot more difficult to use. 

[Broark]

Some fit pics. Just put the engineers on to show how they look, way too hot to be wearing boots like that right now!

[MJF9]

@Broark lovely jeans; solid fit; really like the knee and cinch details... are we now going to see some suspenders to make use of those buttons??? 

[Broark]

@MJF9 I'm not quite ready to make that move yet, maybe one day!

[mlwdp]

@BroarkIt's about time someone here delved from the norm and wore knee patch denim.  The patches work really well in the garage and I've debated on donning this style as well just for garage and outdoor work.  Your pair reminds me of Carhartt and Trophy knee patch styles.  Are the knees reinforced?  

Edited August 27, 2018 by mlwdp

[Broark]

@mlwdp the extra patches on the knees are stitched along the inseam and outseam, and that's about it so no extra reinforcement.

Been a bit worn out of the denim game the past year or so to be honest (even as I only wear jeans no matter what), but seeing a pair of Ooe's always rekindles that spark

[gfarina55]

Anyone interested in a pair of 0A02 in 34w? I'd love to trade for a size up, or make me an offer. https://www.grailed.com/listings/6278409-Ooe-Yofukuten-0A02

[tchengaa]

hi there, how does a pair of 01 cut fit like, when compared to tcb 50s and warehouse 1001? thx !
