I bought these back in late January of this year and wear them about 3-5 times a week. I walk to the office so a lot of miles walked in these jeans.

First pair. Not sure how to size. They're a bit snug on the top button and I definitely feel them around the waist and seat up to the top of my thigh. Rest of thigh is good. Gråbrodern Bro Denim Pant. I'm used to buying pants I need a belt for. How's the fit? Size up or right where I want them ?

Wondering if these look like a good fit (size 34) or size up to 36. My main concern is the thighs? Will they loosen up in the thighs at all?? I will add my waist is probably little bigger than normal because I’ve had time away from the gym. Thanks for any advice

First pair of Japanese selvedge, went with SDA SD-104. Straight out of package and not broken in. Waist was pretty tight (size34 and my true waist about 34) but settling more after about an hour.

Was worried about the waist being too tight but not feeling any pull in the thigh or crotch area and can sit fine. Still can feel it but I think they’re workable.

Collection Oni 288 Asphalt and Samurai 17oz Type 1

Thumbnail

64 Upvotes

Pics 1-4 are the jacket
5-6 are the Oni texture
7-12 are fit pics
Got this Samurai WWII Type 1 in the Bushido fabric. It’s really an awesome jacket. The cut is nice. Not too boxy torso, slimmer sleeves, and a nice crop. It’s kind of bunching near the shoulders, but settles down if I loosen that back buckle and take my hand outta my pocket. I’m also anticipating it draping a bit more nicely once it’s washed. The donut buttons are beautiful and the denim is super textured and slubby, but also incredibly comfortable due to the loose weave. It also fades fast. Now for the jeans, these are my Oni asphalt 288. Let me just say that these are probably my favorite jeans I own except for my Samurai (samurai’s cuts are so perfect along with the cool fabrics and great construction), although I do have some Oni Kase otw so we’ll see. The texture on these is incredible. Super rough and neppy but very comfortable from the beginning like bumpy sweatpants lol. I also love how the weft is sort of a natural beige color instead of a stark white. The fabric really is an eye catcher in person. I think it’s probably the only denim that someone who knew nothing about denim has randomly commented on. Anyway I know that there’s been a good amount of Oni asphalt posts on here, but I wanted to share.

This is my first raw denim pair i bough back in high-school, recently find it in my closet, I'm not using it anymore since the fit is very skinny, but i enjoyed wearing it very much. I washed it 2x , crotch blow out is super gnarly. bought it for under 40$ back then.

1 year- Tellason 16.5oz Blubaugh

Realized I’ve been wearing these for a year already. Washed regularly. Crotch was making me nervous last weekend night before a big day out. Unfortunately we were staying at my in laws house, so I found a sewing machine in the garage and made them wearable again (had to just make do with thread colors that were there and had no idea what I was doing, hopefully it ages okay)

Left knee is probably due for another repair in within the month and right knee soon after.

I got the 19oz ones that I’ve been wearing a little but these are my favorite. Hopefully can keep them rolling for a couple more years!

STUDIO D'ARTISAN "D1926" KYOTO AQUA INDIGO

160 Upvotes

Finally I received the D1926 jeans . I am a big time collector of Selvedge Denims and it’s my first from SDA, mostly a fan of Samurai and Iron Heart.
I am attaching pics for everyone to see the real colors and shades in Sun and Shades.
Sizing
I mostly wear size 33 and 34, these jeans runs one size small so ordered size 34 instead of 33, which was ko the right decision.
Silhouette
The fit of comfortable with mid to high rise and lots of room in the top block while very slightly tapered from thigh to hem.
I compared it with my Iron Hearts 33-888s and it’s almost same till thigh, this comparison if just some members here to get an idea of size and fit.
As we all know 888s are quite tapered from thigh to hem, these jeans are good change being classic straight. Going very well with all my boots and chunky sneakers.

Follow the measurements at Bears Tokyo which is quite accurate.

heres a pic from a year back

https://www.reddit.com/r/rawdenim/comments/1n7xtlu/elephant_11_fades_just_starting_to_come_in_2/

Coming along nicely. You can probably tell I like kneeling on my left leg a lot 😂

First pair and while theyre looking pretty it’s been a pain sometimes. I bought them too exact so when I washed them at first they shrunk a lot. i had to switch to washing in a tub then wearing them while drying doing squats to stretch them out.

switched to dry cleaning for a bit but i learned that dry cleaning doesn’t remove certain byproducts from the body so it started to smell like piss over time despite cleaning 😂. Back to the tub washing and wearing after I learned this, which removed the smell

also had to get the crotch reinforced as I noticed the thread getting loose there. put in a pic for yall

FIT CHECK [Fit Check] 3Sixteen RS220x

Thumbnail

42 Upvotes

Just got these RS220x jeans and curious about how people think they fit. I feel like they’re supposed to be looser (compared to the stock photo) but I have large hips/thighs so relaxed fits are often tighter in the top block than I’d like. Unfortunately I also have a small waist relative to my size so these in a 32 are the biggest I could go. When I lift up my shirt there’s no spillage so I wouldn’t say they’re too tight either.

My favorite fitting pants are my TCB seamen’s trousers which are really loose. Does anyone know of a similar fit in black?

Thanks!

FIT PIC Oni 222 Asphalt

271 Upvotes

These are my first pair of 222 and they’re quickly becoming my favorite cut from Oni. I originally bought these in the 288 cut a couple years ago, but I don’t love the fit and have came around more on the 266. The 222 fit the best of any cut from Oni I’ve tried in the top block so has just made them super comfortable to daily wear even though the fabric is pretty substantial.

For sizing I wear a 31-32 normally and went with a 31. Been wearing these every day for about 2 weeks and the waist has stretched a bit but no where like my Crushed Concrete denim did.

I have had these beauties for 6 years now. I have washed them four or five times. I gave them a soak about six months into wearing them. I'm definitely stoked about how they have turned out.
