Real Japan Blues - Jeans & Shirts...

[Guest]

 

For those of you looking for a slim fit that’s a little more forgiving in the top block - but not loose - these would be a good choice.

 

 

 

The fit works pretty well for the ladies too, which is a nice change. I tried them on a few weeks ago and finally decided on them. 

[summ3rhays]

Those look sweet.  I dig the diamonds too.  Hmmm, paired with my favorite dobby argyle RJB shirt.  That could be just right.

New flannel!  I'm happy to see that rjb shirts fit similarly to flat head's. 

 

 

[kiya]

That's one of my favorite shirts i've ever owned.

[itsbenhere]

I can see why... I have no clue how they come up with such interesting patterns... I love how from far away it just looks mainly red but up close it almost looks like an optical illusion due to the intertwined black and white threads.

I think with rjb it's definitely true that seeing the fabric in person gives you a way better understanding of why its so awesome.

^Coincidentally, I'm selling this shirt in black and grey (along with many other cool things). Cheeeeeap and purdy:

so not quite a month of everyday wear and I look down and see this:

 

should i just wait until it tears apart to do something or get it fixed before it gets worse?

not even four weeks in...

[Mild7]

^ I would do it sooner than later..

Mine had the same as yours at around the 2 week mark and got worse very quickly.  They also popped the top button off at the 1 week mark

[SuperJackle]

Does self edge do mail-in repairs for denim bought there? Or is it in-store only?

[Sugar Mountain]

SE website sez:

 

All garments must be brought into one of our stores, we are currently not accepting mail-ins.

 

The cost for repairs is a flat $40 regardless of what needs to be done to the garment and $20 if the item was bought from Self Edge.

[Maynard Friedman]

^^^^ Just buy a needle and thread and reinforce it yourself, this is a very basic and simple fix.

[SuperJackle]

Hmmm. Okay thanks gents.

[SuperJackle]

Just noticed this pretty much brand new pair of 105bsp on the bay for 150. Size 36, for anyone interested. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Real-Japan-Blue-105BSP-Size-36-/161227529417?pt=US_CSA_MC_Jeans&hash=item2589e8dcc9

[Broark]

Damn, stop tempting me...

[SuperJackle]

Dude I was like, "shit I might just buy those to have around just in-... " then I remembered they're not even my size.

[Broark]

I just bought the IH633s and I have a closet full of denim but this might just be too good of a deal to pass up.

Thanks for the tip.

[Broark]

Ended up pulling the trigger on those 105BSP's, just too good of a price.

Will post some pictures on arrival.

[SuperJackle]

that's good man! that's a sweet freaking deal you got on them. theyre awesome jeans.

[Broark]

Like I said, last thing I really need right now is another pair of jeans. But the deal was just so good! Plus I went back a couple pages and read Kyle's writeup on the model he just picked up that's essentially the same except for different arcs and back pocket lining on the BSPs and that really sold me. Surprised I was the only bidder honestly.

I was watching them...but like you I really don't need any more jeans. In the past two months I've grabbed two pairs of Samurai's and a pair of Momo's. I still haven't even really started wearing any of these much yet (My 24oz PBJ's are pretty awesome for a MN winter).

 

Hope to see some pictures when they get there...enjoy them!

[stingray1381]

Those were my jeans, Hope you enjoy them.

[Broark]

Currently at work, but they should be sitting at my apartment mailbox when I get home!

[Foxy2]

Got a used pair of D002 for a good price:

[Foxy2]

Front rise and back rise are very low - nice denim, strange cut...

[Osmosis Jones]

RJB 103BSP or 106BSP.  Honestly... I've forgotten and the model has worn off the leather patch.  I was wearing these when I shattered my right elbow and the nurses at the hospital were trying to cut them off me.

 

1+ year of wear every single day with no washes or soaks ever.

 

and another of the rear that might show more of the details...

 

I'll be posting a post-wash photo as well.

^Please repost when those get a wash as well!

[kiya]

Those look very good, curious what they'll look like after a wash.

[Osmosis Jones]

Post Wash

[Broark]

Looking good!

I'm going to get those 105BSP's hemmed and I'll start wearing them soon.

Right now they're a bit too long and the cuff just looks silly.

I'll be sure to get some pictures too.

Post Wash

 

Nice job Osmosis Jones!

Usually a washed pair can look pretty "flat" but yours still looks "3D" after a wash.

How did you wash it and still have all the creases remain "intact"?
