OOE YOFUKUTEN & CO.
-
I'm seriously envious. Tomorrow, a friend currently in Nagoya will visit O.Y. to pick up a pair custom made for me, but that's totally nothing against those contest jeans. Woof. Enjoy!
-
Thanks, Flash, but a fair warning that may entail a long time of looking forward, chances are I won't get them before my friend ends up in Berlin again, and that usually happens at the end of the year.

im following that thread on Sufu. everyone's pair so far looks great.

Here's my pair.
I've gone for a 1940's repro on the 03 cut which is a 1940's cut, I've mixed Levis & Lee details.
Details include olive drab herring bone pocket bags, painted arcs, laurel wreath top button, iron fly buttons with the late addition of an Ooe bottom button, selvage fly finishing, pocket label, all 100% cotton lemon yellow stitching throughout, Lee style pocket reinforcement including single watch pocket cross, flat rivets.

Cool jeans, liking the slim fit a lot! Will they shrink further?
And Ryo and Hiro are very reliable correspondents, I can vouch for that from personal experience. But they do everything between the two of them, and when things get busy, and/or they are away for a couple days, it can take some time until they reply. Give them a week or so, and if all else fails, perhaps a friendly reminder mail after that.

Surprisingly received my custom made pair today already, an Italian business colleague of my good friend who visited Hiro and Ryo during his two-month Japan stay came to Berlin for some conference and "couriered" them.
I am totally in awe.
Pics soon, may take a little.

Nr. 43. Liked its texture and colour shade best from the samples I got, plus R&H promised the most "radical" fading…that sold it to me!
,I'm already thinking about my third pair of ooe's
