hey giles i know these jeans are "the limit of what can be made" but are you ever gonna try to go heavier than 25oz?

cant wait till these bad boys get to self edge

on a lighter note, will these (along with the 666XHS) be sold at selfedge?

is there a difference between the VMC and XHS pairs besides the patch?

so is there a specific release date on these or is it just mid-september?

thanks for the quick reply G!  can't wait to take on the 666XHS

any idea what the retail on these pairs is gonna be?  a neighborhood estimate would be awesome giles

I didn't see a thread for N&F on here so i'll just put this one up.  Here's something to start it off:
N&F is going to make a 32oz denim which seems ridiculously overdone.  What do you guys think of this?  I've heard of numerous quality issues with their '24oz' denim (which people say doesn't even feel like 24oz) so idk why they'd try to make an even heavier denim.  IMO iron heart seems like the only denim brand that can handle heavy denim properly

thanks blackheart.  i already have one in a W31 but its a tad loose.  two pairs of SRs=the american dream 

^^ where the size 30 be at??

i guess i gotta take my pair to the gym to do squats with to catch up with everyone else haha.  but really has anyone tried this to help break them in?  probably wont do too much weight like 225 max.  will that tear through the denim?

you're a beast

got these back in november (the LAST W31 at SELA somebody returned them luckily and SELA called me on over to pick em up).  just started wearing them a week ago

thank you good sir

will there be another restock in these?  i wont have enough funds to buy these for a while im afraid my size (32) will be sold out by then

i've heard a lot about how samurai pays a lot of attention to aesthetics so i was wondering if you guys could answer this question.  does samurai use the highest quality denim out of all the japanese brands?

@gbougard:

whatever comes out in September, I pray it will have exactly the same color and texture as the 666, only a ton heavier.

At the same time, one's gotta wonder how the SR's can be topped, because those are the best fucking jeans ever. Period.

this is a lot of praise coming from the man who owns not only the PBJ AI001 but the 002 as well.  would you say iH makes the best quality japanese denim out there?

yeah buddy i'm standing by giles probably won't buy a pair of new jeans until then.  let's see how that goes since i'll probably be buying some 666ODs once they get to SELA

hey giles do you plan on doing a heavier denim soon or for another anniversary edition?  sam's got a 24/27 already.  show them up!!

how does the quality of the denim compare to such high end brands as 45rpm and pure blue japan?  i'm torn between the three.  if it helps i want a fit that leans more towards the slimmer side.  thanks!
