Nice pick up Broark. May I know what search term did you use for Ooe products?

I usually just search the kanji for their name: 大江洋服店

[Bobbo]

Nice find Broark, lovely looking lining.

[Broark]

Here are a couple of fit pics.

[cungster]

Cheers Broark! Lovely fit too!

[eeejayaich]

Fit looks perfect!

[MJF9]

@Broark great fit, looks really good!

[Thanks_M8]

Just saw on Standard&Strange's Insta-story they're working on an OOE-collab and contest! 
Good news Mates!

^ Can't find this anywhere. Got a link?

[Broark]

No details, S&S just posted a question on their IG story asking what you wanted to see from their store in 2019. I said more Ooe and another Ooe contest and they reposted it and said that they’re working on that.

Gave my saddle pants another wash, think this brings it up to 6 or 7 washes now. The denim is fading really beautifully and they’re definitely my most comfortable pair of jeans. 

Patch faded pretty quickly and now there’s only a faint trace of what was on there.

Some really good vertical falling appearing on the thighs and some good puckering on the pocket. The pockets took a little bit of getting used to but I really like them now, also these pocket bags are deeeeeep.

@longshanks top stuff!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yeah that is really a nice looking pair!

[Bobbo]

Very nice man!

[slowdownarthur]

the texture of these OA02-1017 is one of the nicest denims I've known. (Shameless plug: I have to move them on as I've managed to loose a bit of weight).

[longshanks]

@MJF9 @beautiful_FrEaK @Bobbo Thanks guys, really love the denim on these. Looking forward to whatever S&S and Ooe put out next!

Timing of the ooe contest could be perfect with the ending of the 20s contest in a few months. 

[Broark]

Interesting announcement here, I'll be keeping my eye out for whatever they have cooking up with Manifold.
Edit: looks like Instagram imbedding is messed up, but this post was supposed to have an Instagram post.
They posted another with photos from Shinki tannery and it looks like they're making a leather jacket! Thankfully tax returns are just around the corner.

I know I could look in the 20s contest thread, but I'm kinda lazy  When would that be roughly?

[Maynard Friedman]

Next year, the contest runs from 1920-2020, hence the title!

[Broark]

Man these teasers are killing me, the horsehide looks crazy. 

 

[propellerbeanie]

If that's a jacket that's coming out in the same fit as the new Cossack jacket then my wallet better watch out!

[JDelage]

A-2's maybe?

[Bobbo]

Not if we're going by the picture of the cuffs. 

Looks damn good though, almost makes me regret picking up my Trophy jacket.

Doh... Of course you're right.

[Bobbo]

One can only wish for it for the next jacket @JDelage  

[Broark]

Here’s the jacket, it’s quite nice. I might pick one up depending on price.

 

[propellerbeanie]

A couple more photos of the leather jacket. The overall cut and shape of the pockets look nice, but I'm not sure if the dye looks too uneven for my liking...

 

[Broark]

I'm kind of starting to feel the same way, maybe the leather is a bit too distressed.
Really like the styling though.

[JDelage]

The collar is what turns me off.
