I'm not sure you should size down 2… In fact: I wouldn't suggest it at all... I did one (W33", bought 32), and wouldn't have coped having gone 2... The top block wouldn't fit àt all...

But talk to yax. I think there are new jeans coming out soon!.. 

[hassinator]

oh PLEASE do them in the 33" yax

hi eli, thank you so much for the review mate! really couldn't ask for any better and honest review. and quite amazed when i read that you needed 5 minutes to put them on. from what i saw, the fit is really not that tight. however i hope you can stretch them enough into your comfort degree.

for the hickory fabric, honestly we do not have any plan to make them as a shirt material. beside from being a dead stock fabric, i think i can get a better use of them as a pocket lining fabric.

and for the patch design and material, basically i just want to do something different using that thick card, which was called 'leather-like' patch by levis back in the '50s. suddenly just got tired using leather made patch. and also to differentiate them from our selvedge collections. and thank you for your idea about using the 'union label' into a patch, quite interesting indeed!

a bit about the arcuate making process, while we're talking about it. not really clear-cut i know, but i hope that you can get the basic idea

received and replied your email mate! btw do you still want the dark indigo kaihara in size 34? i can check the stock of them in our stockist here, maybe they still have the 34. please do let me know

and in the matter of sizing, honestly maybe we will stick on this 'even size only' rule for quite some time. one of the consequences on being such a small scale production

@yax:

yax: it's simply because my true waist is 33" now… But the other measurements looked fine, and I know denim stretches quickly so I went with a 32... After one day of wear, it fits snug but nice!..

Thank you once again for everything!..

one of my personal favorite article, the hand overdyed. as it was overdyed using natural indigo, this pair is hard to beat. examples shown below (each one is a different pair).

+/- 4.5 months effective wear

4 months

7-8 months

and this is the most stunning progress so far. +/- 8 months effective wear.

Oldblue '44 WWII Repro review by Rawr Denim

[Seul]

Just picked up:

The shipping cost was almost as much as the shirt  :-\

[thomasnunnally]

Looks damn cool though Eli!

[Seul]

Triple chainstitched. Houndstooth. Corozo nut buttons. 50 $ (not ppd obv). Unbeatable…

Went with a size 42 (L) as the chest is 21.5" for that. Length of body and sleeve were also good. Stoked!..

[yax]

Seul
thanks, eli! actually you got the very last stock of them. and they were made from a dead stock fabric. hope you'll be happy with the shirt. cheers!

[Seul]

I gave these jeans to my dad as they were/ are a bit tight on me. He loves 'm. Quick snaps while I have 'm here…

That streaky denim…

[Finn666]

so you and your dad even share the same mask for fitpics?

[Seul]

I have them here as I asked him to… But not much has happened with them in terms of evo...
