N&F 32 oz sz 32/32.
Fits well. But if I would soak them, I coul'nt get closed them anymore.
My correspondence with customs: they want to have original signed invoices and declarations. Still waiting for refund.
-
jeans look good and I am not mad about that fit.
too bad you can not soak/wet as the fit doesn't look too tight to me.

I fixed the button and then tried to expand by an vice. Waist measure came from 16.2 to almost 17, but after dry it came back to 16.3 inch single waist. I think I could soak it with icecold water and only short time…

Liking how my N&F 10th Anniversary Easy Guys are looking these days. 14oz short slub denim made with cotton from 10 different countries. Kind of a fun idea. Seem to be fairly slow faders. This is after 10 months of occasional wear. 2 soaks and maybe 3 washes… and a heck of a lot of longboarding

Hey everybody Tate and Yoko has the 32 oz jeans back it stock. I just copped a pair!

I'm just going to not ever soak or wash mine… these are more of just a novelty really.
-
I saw that, too, @Filthy. Post pictures when you get them. I'm curious.
-
@Wlemon you you know it! I sure will. I will thoroughly scrutinize them too!
-
I don't have much N & F anymore. On the whole, they seem a little gimmicky, but this pair seems pretty impressive. Definitely overkill, yet an awesome weight. I'm curious to see what you think compare to the IH 25oz.

I’ve always been curious about the denim, but I couldn’t squeeze into the thighs on those in a million years! 11.75 post soak on a 38? That’s nutty
Yeah the thigh measurements seem entirely unrealistic. What kind of a body type are these supposed to be for? I don’t think the previous run was like this… @twin could perhaps confirm? I too would like a pair just because but if the proportions really are like in the chart, there’s just no way.

All of the fit pics I have seen in that cut seem pretty roomy. I guess I will find out soon.

I own some N&F and the gimmicky stuff does tend to get old. But objectively speaking, N&F do sell affordable denim to newcomers who are looking to get into the selvedge game. I have a pair of 13.5oz indigo selvedge weird guys that I beat the sh*t out of almost daily. I also have a beat up pair of LHT's that need to be repaired. I think their MiJ series looks pretty solid if you're into slubby denim, so they got that going for them. Their button up shirts are dreadful though

Hope you get yours super-soon as I can’t think of anyone whose denim-review I’d rather read than yours. It’s also very nice of you to ”take one for the team” as should things go awry, returning them is at least somewhat easier for you as someone based in the North America. Thanks, I’ll keep my eyes peeled on this thread.

Unfortunately I won't be home until Monday at the earliest. Also that store has that bullshit store credit only returns policy. This is why I didn't buy them back in 2014. But I will let you know what I think asap @Crit_Obs

The 32 oz jeans were safely delivered to my house today. Should be able to get to them by tomorrow. (We got the job done 2 days early). @Crit_Obs

@Crit_Obs I got to the jeans finally after a 14 hour day.
I am both delighted with them and disappointed with them at the same time. Firstly, @sabergirl the thighs on a size 38 are slightly roomier (unsoaked) than my 888-XHSib they are actually roomy in the top block and get very slim at the knee and leg opening. They have plenty of rise to them too. I want to point out that my 888s are tight in the waist and have some room in the thighs. These have an inch in the waist and the top block is looser.
The denim is very robust and also very slubby and has loads of character. Although I don't know if slub is the right term… it's more of a vertical peaks and valleys. The texture is very irregular but very uniform on the inside.
It is quite amazing actually. Very beautiful.
Comparing thickness of hems between XHSib and these..there's definitely a 3rd more bulk and girth.
Now for the scrutiny:
Firstly, the button fell off while I was trying to button them up. I want to emphasize that the waist has plenty of room. The was no strain other than the pressure of my index finger. The just didn't compress the center pin enough. I might be able to mushroom it out more with a center punch and sledgehammer. I will have to see. Or I might replace the pin with a nut and small bolt (holding the button in place. I am going to contact the manufacturer on Monday to see what they suggest.
Next, the sewing is very nice in places and very sloppy in other places. Very sloppy.
There's no vintage sewing machines or techniques in play here. I don't blame them though.The denim is pretty crazy.
I was trying to consider if I was happy I bought them. I guess I am glad to finally have a pair and realize they fit good. I love that they have a zipper. The denim is incredible. But I am so disappointed about the button. It's pretty bullshit for a pair of $550 jeans. I probably would rather have another pair of Iron Heart jeans.

@sabergirl do you want me to measure them for you? I don't think they measure them the same way or something because the thighs are roomy…
