I also like the sorahiko fit. This is a 31 on me.

yeh is making me think about getting some again.

did you buy true to size black?

Nah, I sized down one. True to size would have been acceptable too since they barely stretch. Those are the fit pics I posted a couple months ago.

shit! why aren't mine like yours Black....really really nice fading on yours. I'm having a hard tim even with the honeycombs. and that's with constant spraying of liquid starch!

chicken do you have any pics of your old kazehikos?

i actually gave them away to a guy who's about to become my brother-in-law. i'll check with him next time i see him to see if he still has them. i heard he gained some weight so maybe i can get them back.

sorry it took a while, but i did get the kazehiko's back from my brother-in-law.

he made some nice progress on these -- started at a one-wash condition

but he wore out the butt

and wore out the crotch

i need to take these back to 45rpm for some repairs.

[Souper]

They got those denim shirts in, shit is a beautiful blue but not $550 beautiful esp with tuition bills again lol ;()

Why do the starts of seasonal lines always come hand in hand with tuition bills? gotta pick between steez and classes. CONSPIRACY???

[chantheman]

chicken,

thanks for the update. so the pic below was originally the same type of denim?

[Chicken]

^ no, chan i think those are the new kazehikos. the ones i posted are from few years ago, when they were basically sorahikos without the selvage edges (and at a much better price point).

[percy]

any new jomon evo pics? what length is the front rise on those that have some?

thx

[Cali]

Anybody up on new BC4000 denim?

Looking for something lightweight for the summer in a straight leg cut.

[ExileOnMainSt]

anyone have any tips on cuffing sorahikos? I purchased a pair from japan, which I asked for Sorahiko Slims, but I'm pretty damn sure these are sorahikos as the leg from the knee down is just huge.

I really don't wanna have to taper these, any sorahiko owners go with the double cuff to combat the bulkyness?

I am absolutely not feeling the leg opening on these right now

[chantheman]

ive had the same issues with the regular cut. its just too wide for me. ive done the double cuff. makes it a little better but its still wide. the 45rpm store as far as i was told doesnt have the suminando sorahiko slim. i had a proxy call and ask

[partytaco]

sorahiko slim is for NYC only.

[chantheman]

that explains it

[percy]

i havent worn my nandos for a long time, mainly because i didnt like the way they fit. so i decided to change the shape of them, by tapering the leg from the knee and also slightly bringing in the thigh area. anyway this is how they now look. old on left, new on right.

ps. dont be hating cos you dont have cool slippers like mine and also, the spacing on the back pockets really makes your ass look big.

[frofivealpha]

How do Mrs. Chicken's jeans look after the wash?

[Chicken]

i've been itching to take pics of her nandos, but i keep missing my opportunities.

let me see what i can do.

[chantheman]

percy - how much did you get those tapered?

[ihaveanevilplan]

love the taper job!

[percy]

what a coinkydink, im actually wearing these today. i did the tapering myself and i prob took them in a total of about 1.5-2 inches at the hem and graduated up to the knee/thigh.

just took them off and shot a couple of pics with my webcam to show you.

[beatle]

Well done....fit is better after tapering...

[chantheman]

the fit is a lot nicer. thanks for the hem pics. contemplating doing that to my pairs since they arent getting worn due to being too wide in the hem.

+rep when i can

[Chicken]

[frideswide]

Very nice indeed. Your pix always appreciated.

[studite]

Can somebody tell me what the Ainando is?

Thanks.

[PG2G]

Never heard of ainando... could you mean aihiko?

[partytaco]

is a aizome dyed warp and weft denim available at 45rpm flagship store in Tokyo. maybe that is it. price was very expensive around $1100 if i remember corrrectly.

[ayn]

soaked the jomons last night, first soak after >1 year, lol... had no idea they were so dirty...

[eldave04]

It might just be extra starch coming out.

[frofivealpha]

Thanks for the picture, color is retained very well.

How are the fades? I know the Jormons are supposed to be hard to fade and won't get much contrast, but I'm wondering how they look after a decent amount of wear. (I assume that you've worn them a decent amount if you're soaking them.)
