Great pictures and review Eli!
From you words I though they would fit really tight but then I saw the pics and I'm with you. They will stretch and aren't that tight looking (I've seen a lot worse and then those people claimed the jeans fit comfortable
) -
They certainly do look good.
I'm with you on the back pocket stitching - it's neither here nor there.
I do, however, like the leather patch. Perhaps not the most original desine but I like the way they've done it, and the hand-written sizing is a great thing; it really shows that this item did not come off a huge production line.
How are you coping with the rise? A bit low by your standards, yeah?
-
sold out in the 34" and i'm definitely no longer a 32"
how much shrinkage in a wash do you think?
i can go years without washing denim but fit is everything for me.
-
oh PLEASE do them in the 33" yax

hi eli, thank you so much for the review mate! really couldn't ask for any better and honest review. and quite amazed when i read that you needed 5 minutes to put them on. from what i saw, the fit is really not that tight. however i hope you can stretch them enough into your comfort degree.for the hickory fabric, honestly we do not have any plan to make them as a shirt material. beside from being a dead stock fabric, i think i can get a better use of them as a pocket lining fabric.
and for the patch design and material, basically i just want to do something different using that thick card, which was called 'leather-like' patch by levis back in the '50s. suddenly just got tired using leather made patch. and also to differentiate them from our selvedge collections. and thank you for your idea about using the 'union label' into a patch, quite interesting indeed!

a bit about the arcuate making process, while we're talking about it. not really clear-cut i know, but i hope that you can get the basic idea

received and replied your email mate! btw do you still want the dark indigo kaihara in size 34? i can check the stock of them in our stockist here, maybe they still have the 34. please do let me knowand in the matter of sizing, honestly maybe we will stick on this 'even size only' rule for quite some time. one of the consequences on being such a small scale production

@yax:

yax: it's simply because my true waist is 33" now… But the other measurements looked fine, and I know denim stretches quickly so I went with a 32... After one day of wear, it fits snug but nice!..
Thank you once again for everything!..

one of my personal favorite article, the hand overdyed. as it was overdyed using natural indigo, this pair is hard to beat. examples shown below (each one is a different pair).
+/- 4.5 months effective wear
4 months
7-8 months
and this is the most stunning progress so far. +/- 8 months effective wear.

Those look great!
