A bit surprised at these running large in the waist. Really like them but as a TTS 28, no way to size down..

[elclintor]

wow…

so If I wear a 32 in busters, I'd wear a 29 in these?

Curious as to why the tag size is so off..

They look amazing though.. looks like i need to make some room for these..

[Moyamoya]

I dont know about the fit on these.

The thigh measurement is pretty slim compared to the waist, a 30.5" waist with a 10.5" thigh? ouch

[RocknRoll]

Almost a BB cut with a lower rise?

If you're a 32 in the BB i'd say go for a 30 in this jean.

And a slimmer thigh it seems

[RocknRoll]

Very tempted, but I'm already well equipped in the dark-jean department. I know these are probably not the type of jeans that most people will thrash, but it will be interesting to see how they wear anyway.

The cut looks seriously good, so maybe there's hope of it resurfacing again at some point…an OD version would be great.

Yeah I'm dreaming...

Thanks

@LandoCal126:

You'll have to go through SE.

[Giles]

G aint carrying them….

[beautiful_FrEaK]

they are not sold out yet, just not for sale right now. will be available tomorrow AFAIK.

the denim is really nearly black on those pictures. Giles, do you know if they used 100% indigo or did they add a bit of sulphur to enhance the dark color?

[Giles]

I don't know, sorry.  But I would not be surprised if it is all indigo, both the 23 used in this jean and the 25 used in the XHS are super dark, Haraki really laid the indigo on thick…..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thanks for the answer. Of course that could be possible. I remember the Fullcount denim that was used for the BiG contest and it was also nearly black to begin with.
It also might have to do something with how it is woven? If the weave is tight so less weft shows through, it would also appear darker I think.

[Giles]

Correct, hardly any of the weft show's through - same with the 25

[jacoavlu]

it is super saturated indigo, super dark from high dip count, with short oxidation period between dips

[mankarat]

Its darker than the 25oz version?

[Giles]

Good question Mank.  The Warp is effectively exactly the same hue of indigo in both denims.  The 23 appears slightly darker than the 25 as the weave is a little tighter therefore more of the weft shows through on the 25:

[mankarat]

That explain it well G.. Thanks
Indigo From the picture it looks identical, hence the 25 oz are heavier..

I want to come to your house and molest all of your samples…
