    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.

      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?

          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.

                                  No experience but I really like the look of it - thinking about picking one up. Probably go for khaki but the black looks nice too. What size are you? There's an XXL up on eBay… which is sadly too big for me.

                                    .

                                    i looked at one of these at the trip out last week ,the quality seemed pretty good ,and the price was good £260 ,where as the buzz rickson range from £400-£600 depending on where you buy them .

                                    i am looking for a buzz rickson but may go for the pike bros n1

                                      Why not go for the Iron Heart version?

                                        the PB version is quite flimsy, imo.
