R.J.B x T5, Zimbabwe cotton denim in 3009/f380 cut.

for anyone with the 103s, do they really shrink as much as said on SE's website? specifically the thigh knee and hem measurements

All the jeans I've purchased from SE have behaved the way that they warned. If you're worried about the jeans shrinking and becoming too skinny, check out the 106s -- they're a slim/straight model.

[DonGately]

Does the length stretch back out on the 103s w wear? May have hemmed (post soak) about an inch too much...

[Flash]

the only way the length is gonna stretch back is if you physically pull the jeans

[DonGately]

Don't sit in gum.

some really great denim from RJB

[kiya]

Those look amazing. That's basically the 105BSP but with different back pockets.

now that I have a pair, gotta subscribe to this joint

Question: Does D-101 use Zimbabwe cotton? I look all over the web, it seems all R.J.B models use Zimbabwe cotton except D-101.

[DonGately]

why no love here

[Cold Summer]

Personally, I think RJB's denim looks fantastic (much like FH's) but I don't like their detailing (diamond arcs, leather patch design, piratey logo) very much. They're obviously going for a very specific sort of look with their products (though I'm not quite sure what you'd call it) that's just not as broadly appealing as FH, I suppose.

Hi is the stitch on 106 pure cotton or poly mixed? Also, I'm a size 33 on 3001, what size should I get for the 106? Thanks!

[PhillyFresh]

Who still sells the 105 in a wide variety of size? SE is out of stock and according to Kiya they're discontinued.

Any tips? I was so set on buying these too

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Dunno what size you need but look here

Just got this today from Self Edge. This is the first RJB item I've bought, and it's pretty darn impressive.

I'm still not sure how I feel about the mismatched pockets, but the fabric is awesome and I like the fit. $120! Total steal. I almost feel dirty.

[garden gnomes in space]

nice shirt. Im with you on mismatched pockets. I like symmetry, and that seems like a rare thing when it comes to japanese shirts. I can over look it, but prefer a matched set. Love the fabric weave of that shirt tho.

good choice on the shirt, alex. more fh/rjb stuff is coming in the dc4 online shop soon btw

[Markmont]

Anyone trying to sell/ trade their red rjb diamond ombré sz 42?

[itsbenhere]

Anyone have any quick thoughts on the 106bsp? Been agonizing over what to get for the new year...would probably go with them but self Edge's post-soak thigh measurement seems crazy small for what would become a true 31 after some stretching (size 30). Thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Where all the RJB's at?? We need moar RJB. Let's get this thread back going!

SExFHxRJB15

2 washes

June 2011-October 2012(ish); roughly 1 year and 4 months

[spython]

xpost with TFH thread. Didn't even realize there was an RJB thread until ProfessorOak posted.

Better photos of my SExFHxRJB15s. Color is very close to true but I had them tapered from the knee down so not very good references for original fit.

and fit pics:

a few more photos in album: http://imgur.com/a/1gcg1 but they didn't rotate right..

I enjoy the RJB denim...Pretty ideal fading characteristics with that soft Zimbabwe feel, shame you don't see them on here more! From my understanding, the above SE collab features a new denim spec'd to fade like 3XXX denim but with the comfort of RJB's Zimbabwe?

[itsbenhere]

Yep, according to the website. Exactly why they're my next jeans haha.

[Cold Summer]

I'm bumping this thread for great justice. RJB needs more love.

I've really warmed up to their designs lately for some reason. I'll probably pick up an argyle-style collared shirt this spring, and get some jeans next year (I'm holding strong to my New Year's Resolution to buy no new jeans in 2013.)

I'm still trying to figure out the exact cuts. The D105/105BSP looks like a little bit more fitted straight cut than the FH 3005 - slim in the top thigh, just like I'd need from a straight cut. But how's the D106/106BSP compare to the 3009? It looks like a slightly slimmer version of the D105, which seems like what I'd want. The only problem I have with the 3009 is that the top thigh could be a bit slimmer.

[Planetarium]

Do it! Become the RJB ambassador for us. I'd love to get into them, but it's hard to find their clothes on Rakuten. I've always lusted after a pair of their jeans with the diamond leather patches on the back...
