Yeah, sample 666, but you get the idea…..

Hmmm… I am between 33 and 34. How is waist stretching with these? 1 inch?

another comparison showing @Giles 666 sample pair…

Those fade photos are super cool…really wish I could have afforded the Pronto collab at the time of it's release. The patch on these has piqued my interest.

@Giles what does the Japanese translate to in English on the patch?

I'm not Giles, but happy to chime in with a translation.  It's just "slub" written in katakana script.  ス=su ラ=ra ブ= bu.

Edit: Katakana is the script usually used for writing foreign loan words.  Unlike hiragana which is the script usually used for writing words of a native origin.  And unlike kanji, which is the script usually used for driving students of Japanese insane over the course of countless hours.

Thanks for sharing that information. "Slub" would have been my first guess. Such a cool looking patch…

Pleasure!  Yeah, it's a cool one.  I'd sooner it wasn't stitched on the sides, but as I understand it Haraki-san has a desperately strict 18.5oz dividing line policy to determine whether a belt is allowed to pass between leather and denim.  I don't understand it, but there it is.  Could always just cut away a few stitches I guess.  And hey…  At least he made some slub, right?!  ^_^

^ that was very interesting and informative @nurunuru. Thank you.

On another note, I am so owning a pair of these.

Rear rise is smaller than the regular 634s' but Giles measurements seem to show significant stretch in that part of the jean. I will try these along with the 888s.

[sabergirl]

634 rear rise seems to fluctuate a bit with different denims. I hope the slub gets made again sometime, as I have too many pants and not enough legs at the moment!

Yes some more legs would be great  and isn't a new UHR in the pipeline too? Is there a 666S-SLB coming too?
