Yep looks like the ubiquitous D85? Still - looks good though.

So there you go, some pics for a change from me.

I never really like these but had to give them a go, just hope some one buys them and really wears them to death !

I have to say though that I am loving my deluxe, I reckon they are going to be a lifelong companion >>>> shape of things to come: 2634836164_703ff62ff6_o.jpg

just wondering. after them 5-6 washes is the denim still rigid or has it softened up much? yea...

Bit the bullet, and got the Ikeda.

Was told they mesaured 31.5

Tagged 32, measures 30. A bit of a squeeze - plus I've been pigging out a bit over the last couple of weeks.

@ APDZ > They have been washed once and have softened quite considerably now - you just have to let them know who's in charge ! :)

I wear them pretty much every day, there have been perhaps 4 days of non wear over the last few months, so hopefully will look little better on their next wash.

I'll post up as soon as there is something to look at. They are nice heavy jeans though, tough to fade !

Awesome Fit Set! Let us know how much they stretch!

Ikeda - the cut is very tapered (~17cm hem), with a mid/high rise

It has some nice touches, little leather 'washers' on the rivets, purple lining in the coin pocket, purple lining reinforcing the stitching on the inside front pocket, purple lining on the belt loops.

White selvedge, denim is smooth and to my eyes the indigo has a purple hue to it.

No chainstitching in sight though - don't really know if that matters too much. Below is the inseam and hem.
