wicked fades, max!  real nice.

[Max Power]

Thanks a bunch…been somewhat 8 months, but I need some variety now.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

great pair Flo! is the denim cracking at the combs?

[Max Power]

Thx! There are some minor cracks, not at the outer (light) comb lines, but on the inner lines. Hard to describe, but it looks a bit like on the hems, where the cuffs left their mark. you'll see tomorrow.

Yap looks great mate…and congrats on the first real mashine wash
would you mind giving us a hint on what pair is next?

[Max Power]

You'll read it tomorrow or on sunday I suppose. Will be a slimmer cut…

Check out my  other crap in the evo thread

@Max:

Yes, that's true.
Vintage Label= 15,7 oz, zimbabwe cotton, unsanforized
Going to war= same denim, but one-wash, painted backpockets, it's also said to have an "anti-leg-twist" treatment, however that works (it works on mine).

And the Going to War Series also has a shorter inseam 35" oppopsed to approx. 36,5" of the Vintage label (comes with 39,5" raw).

Ahhh, so the two lines ARE actually made from the same denim? I've been wondering this for some time, trying to decide between the 0701 and 0705SP. So….apart from the 0705SP being one-wash, i guess the decision is really based on whether or not I want the stripes on the back pocket.

Thanks for the info, Max Power.

[Max Power]

Yes, and wether you want an longer inseam. I have both vintage and GTW label, they don't differ in fabric.

Max Power,

I have been looking online trying to find some info on the 0901 model.  I really like my 1955s cut and was thinking about trying the 0901 momotaro cut any suggestions on where to find.

[TinMan]

I found a US retailer that has the 0901 in stock size 36,  I wear a size 34 in the 1955s cut…...  since these are raw will a 36 be ok?  I was thinking hot soak and warm dry.......

[kayodic]

0901 is classic straight cut, high rise, roomy top block/back seat (the loosest Vintage Label fit), think you'll be ok with size 34 since the jeans will stretch back…

I really like the black weft models but the thighs are, on the cut they used, way too small for me.

They probably will work, they should be a bit thinner through the seat and thighs than the IH 55 cut.  They are a classic loose straight fit, but not quite as generous as the 55.  Closer to the 634, I'd say.  Since you're going up a size or so, that gives you the option to really try shrinking them down.  Momotaros are really dark and don't seem to lose much indigo in a wash, so you can run them through the machine a couple of times without worrying about lots of fading.  They also don't seem to stretch much, so whatever shrinkage you get, you'll probably keep.

Hope that helps.

[TinMan]

that info helps alot thanks guys…..

Is anyone going for the new 0702 model with black weft (as stocked by Blue Owl and BIG)?

Given that it is quite similar to the ER007-2B, it will be interesting to see how it ages.

they look great but the thigh measurements are killer

Can anyone confirm the shrinkage expected in the waist for the Vintage Series (i.e .0701, 0201 etc) with a hot soak?

Blue Owl says 1 inch, and I'm wondering if this matches other people's experience. This could decide whether i get a 33 or 34….

Any comments appreciated,
