      I'm glad that no one other than those on Shetland can make authentic Fair Isle as I think it would spoil it. Too much exposure can take away the 'special' feeling of something.
      I suppose it's a bit like IH, not mass market, a bit underground but important to those who cherish it.
      Long live under exposure !

      just wear - don´t compare - what matters is that one loves what one is wearing…

        Quite happy with these despite having had to pay an extra 211 € in taxes and such.

              Seul, those metallic Diors are the hoot. I just saw a pair of metallic brown/gold dust Ferragamo full brogues in Chicago. Incredible shoes but would have been over $900 with tax. Can't do that. Will look at the outlet store for them. They were basically the same look as the Dupont gold dust lighters. More irregular than your model there. I suppose not many men will buy those so there should be some on a good sale price one day.

                Yeah you gotta be pretty confident of your own sexuality to wear those.  😉

                They're epic as fuck though. Loads of fun. And lord are they put together well  😞

                          So, it's a l-o-ooong story but recently, an unexpected $650 fell into my lap. So of course, being the denim-head that I am…I blew $400 of it. This time, I did something different. I followed Seul's and DougNg's cue and gave pre-owned Japanese denim  on SuFu a try. I figured, why the fuck not ?

                          I also (dead's urging helped) loosened up my morals and gave lighter weight denim/other brands, as well as different fits -- a chance.

                          Here's what I bought :

                          1. Samurai S0500XX 15 oz Texas Cotton (with the Arcs, from 2nd), W28, L32. They've been soaked once only -- haven't tried them on yet but they look brand fucking new. They're beautiful. The feel of this denim is just amazing. Crunchy galore (dead, something you often discuss -- the crunchiness of certain denim) and quite rigid and heavy though just 15 oz. I bought based on measurements, not tag size...and 15 inches in the waist for STF sounds just about right. These likely have more shrinking left in them. These are $350 on BIG and BIG's version lacks rear-pocket designs. I paid only $170 shipped, bought from alleyooptroop.

                          2. A BRAND NEW RAW PAIR of Sugar Cane Okinawas (not even soaked) in W29/L33.5...for $200. As you probably know, Sugar Cane Okinawas are 14.5 oz denim. Bought from chantheman.

                          I've received the Samurais and the Iron Heart Indigo Cyclists already (the latter purchased from foldingsocks). They're pretty much new jeans, without tags (the Samurai's soaked once but barely worn). I'm waiting for the Okinawas to arrive (probably today).

                          Fit pics soon !

                              @shubs: I would toss the 0500 in the washer, Samurais don't shrink a lot with just a soak.
                              I did 2 hot washes when i got my pair.

                                  shoque and beatle – thanks for your advice (shoque) and warm wishes (beatle). I'm looking forward to wearing these new jeans. One of the reasons I bought lighter jeans is that I may be traveling to India within the next year. No way is 21oz denim gonna fly in Chennai, India ! To be honest, even 15oz is overkill but that's what I'll go with. Shoque...there's a shitload of shrinking left in those Samurai's -- I'm gonna throw all 3 ("new" Iron Heart Cyclists, Samurais, Sugar Canes) in the hot wash and hot tumble dry (inside out) asap. The Sugar Canes and Samurai's are not my usual preferred fit ...they're going to be more straight-cut-ish...but I'm hoping that they'll look cute anyway.

                                      In my humble opinion.  Hot wash OK.  Tumble dry, even inside out could cause you some fade lines that you don't like…G

                                          Sweet purchases,  Shubz!.. Buying 2nd hand denim to try out a brand or certain model is where it's at. Used to have the SO500XX, didn't like the fit. Went with SO500VX and those were better (but sold them after I got 710XX - my fav Sam fit). I still intend to purchase a SO500VX 21oz. in the future. 170 $ shipped is an excellent price as well btw.

                                            Nice pick up's. Pick of the bunch has to be the Sugarcanes for the denim and the materials and details used in the finish, not the cut of jean to have you want a 'fit' but  a pair to hve for sure. I love mine 🙂
