PIKE BROTHERS

[Hemi]

Anyone else got something from my German friends, PIKE BROTHERS?

This is my 1958 Roamer Jacket made from 11oz Turkish Selvage Denim.  I've also got their new 1958 Roamer 23oz Jeans which apparently had to be sewn by a tailor in Poland who makes leather upholstery for cars.

I have their Chopper pants and just got their 1958 Roamer 23 oz. raw denims yesterday, great clothes, great guys.
Met them at Inspirations 2012 this past January in Long Beach and looking forward to seeing them again next
year.

Seen the pics of it on there site seul I guess what I'm asking is has anyone seen it in person? What's the material like? Good ? Great? Subpar? Price point is nice

[Blackheart]

I've seen it in person, very nice shirt, light weight though. Material is decent and worth it for the price.

BH hi, tell me what jean is the 58 roamer 23oz closest to in your opinion and how are they overall, likes dislikes?  Oh yes one other question do they shrink fit if so how much?  They don't seem to put this info up, thanks.

[Blackheart]

You're very welcome nate, hope you decide to get the shirt, it's very nice.

Hi simon, the 23 oz. Roamer is similar to Samurai denim ( 24 oz. S5000VX ), the cut is loose in the top block and
the legs taper slightly towards the bottom. I love the weight of course but the sewing on the jeans is a bit
crude, the inside seams are not flat felled but instead zig-zagged then flat stitched above. This is above the
back pockets.
The hardware is a dark Zinc optic, stitching is a honey/yellow color. Pocket bags are white heavy cotton and deep.
The inside leg seam is a double flat fell like the newer Levi's instead of a single like IH.
I got a 34 waist, all the tags on the jeans said to not wash them because of major shrinking but with my
experience with Japanese raw denim I knew that a cold wash would be fine.
They shrunk in the length about two inches ( they come in a standard 34 length ) and the waist tightened up
about an inch then stretched back out to a 35. They were 35 pre-wash.
The denim is now about a 25 oz. after the first wash, there was a lot of bleeding, more than any other raw
denim I own so they have a marbled look but not extreme.
The fit is very nice, guys who are looking for a more relaxed top block will love these. To me they run a bit
big in the waist so there would be no need to size up. They do need to be washed though, the denim is so
stiff and heavy you'll never get them on without a cold machine wash.

Hope the info helps!

Awesome BH.  That's a great review.  Would you compare them to a 501 shape, looking at pics i worry they are too narrow in the thighs and leg or are they similar?

[Blackheart]

Yes, very similar to an old 501 cut, say a 1978 cut. Not narrow in the thigh at all, they begin to taper right
above the knee like the 1978's.
