Other Brands of Jeans

@Giles:

Oh shit.  Could not find 29, so we went with 28…..

He might be able to stretch it out after shrinkage, or stick with cold soaks and washes, if his true waist is 28. But those Crazy Jeans do run the smallest of any SDA that I have owned so far, and I've owned close to a dozen models by that brand.

@Giles:

I checked the measurement on Rakuten:
28
waist 76 cm  (BB Raw are 73,3)
thigh 26,5 (BB Raw are 27,3)
knee 25 (BB RAW are 21)
hem 19 (BB Raw are 19,7)
only the extent of the thigh is less than that of BB Raw, and I suspect it's because it was measured differently

Giles, you can go with 28!
Thank you very much…
Bologna: I have some questions. I just wrote an email to Paula.

2 days ago I was only dreaming for a good japanese Lee's repro, and now I will be the owner of 2 of the best repros (Samurai and Sugarcane) and of a strange hybrid between Levi's and Lee from SdA…
In a few weeks probably I'll SELL japanese Lee's repros!

[jacoavlu]

haha, good for you giorgio
you might look at the Warehouse x Lee 101b or 101z, those are real close to the originals
whereas the others are a bit more of an "interpretation" since those brands (at least Sam and SDA for sure) are not licensed to use the Lee name

[georgeel]

Yes, you are right, but Warehouse's are too "modern" for my taste: they are not riveted at crotch, a thing that I love in Sam and SC.
SdA are not a repro, nor an interpretation: they are freaks of nature! I would like to know the crazy man who invented them.

[jacoavlu]

yes those are some strange jeans
but if anyone can rock those it's you

No IH - they don't do 21oz babygros yet

So I have:

3sixteen+BBSP - 2 pairs (14oz)
Diesel Jegonfire biker jeans (lightweight, probably 9-10 oz)
Nudies BlackBlack Tight Long Johns-11oz
Timothy Everest BluexBlack 14oz Japanese jeans

Looking for one more pair this year

Next years list started already

[jacoavlu]

that's some crazy shit
So is the right RHT and left LHT?

[Giles]

yep

[georgeel]

And finally they're on my legs!

size 28. Very first wear.

Thanks again, G! 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

some people simply have the body to make all clothes look good…damn
really a great fit

[georgeel]

Thanks, although not entirely agree: is the mind that shapes the denim, not the body!

These monsters of Frankenstein are raw and 23oz. after soaking, they are even stiffer then IH' 25oz, but now I'm used.
Size is OK, as you can see.

After waiting 3 weeks, I received a pair of $30 Prison Blues raw from White's… Now I know why I spent 15 times more on a pair of IH jeans.  I'm a 31 in IH, so I got a 30 in these thinking they'd be prison sized (remember they're raw).  I can barely button the before a soak   The upside is I got a couple of pair of White's leather laces too.
