Those are really deadstock and old (in terms of Japanese repro jeans)
Denime 10th anniversary 1952cut (made in 1998)

obscure little Japanese shops or with luck from Yahoo Auction

Pre-soak fit pics

That is an excellent pre-soak fit. Those are going to shrink down really well, I think.
-
Thx Chris! I really hope they do. Still haven't decided when to soak them though
-
Nice denim BF!
How does the sizing compare with IH raw denim? Have spotted a pair in my true size but not much info out in the ether on how the denim behaves.
-
Well they shrink from tag size. And they really shrink. I soaked them in quite cold water and they already lost 2". This is some "proper" unsanforized/loomstate denim so expect some major shrinkage
They do stretch though -
Oh and on that note..the post-soak pics
-
Score!
-
Thanks for that.
Jeans look niiiice!
-
Thx folks!
Here are some assorted detail pics when they were still raw
-
and one more…
The search for my holy grail has finally found its end. 5 years after the Denime contest I found a pair of 66XX in size 36 in BNWT condition. As the Denime 66XX was my first real pair of Japanese jeans from a Japanese brand, it feels like coming home!
-
And those are fantastic!
-
Thanks! And I am really happy. They stopped producing the 66XX in that form in 2009 or 2010 and they sold fast then…I am so glad I could finally pick up a pair in my right size. I own a size 34 from the Denime contest from 5 years ago but they shrank too much over time
-
Those do look great b_F… Wow. Perfect on you sir
-
