Samurai Geisha GA0510LXX (8 months)
I’ve worn them almost everyday about 8 months now. Initial soak, and one wash at 6 months. I’ve got a desk job, so the wear isn’t as spectacular as other people get, but I’m pretty happy with them. The front pocket got a hole from my keys, and some of the stitching came loose. So [...]
Eternal 811 (New)
I had to get these jeans after seeing the images on the Denim Gallery Heavy where the owner has achieved the most incredible contrast fade. I didn’t find Eternal available in the expected stores, and instead I stumbled upon them in the back streets of Kyoto at Loftman. They staff there cut and chainstitched them [...]
Samurai Jin+Zero S5110VXJ (New)
This pair of jeans is referred to by many different names. “Jin+Zero”, “2005 Victory”, “2005 Celebration”, “Congratulations 2005″. Jin+Zero is referring to it’s style as a combination of two of Samurai’s popular models. The Zero Model, and the Jin Blade Model. Celebrate and Victory are referring to a baseball competition. The patch features a cartoon [...]
45rpm Sorahiko (New)
I got these Sorahikos from the 45rpm store in Shibuya. They are one wash. The store staff will measure, cut & chainstitch the hems to your length. They have some very nice details.
Sugarcane Edo Ai SC40500N (1 month)
The Sugarcane Edo Ai are a 100% Natural Indigo Jean. The colour is not what you expect to see when thinking of indigo. I’m a little colour-blind, but I’d describe it as an aqua. I think the colour is comparable to the Nudie Veggie, but I haven’t compared them side-by-side yet. Apparently the makers of [...]
Red Ear Selvedge (New)
These are a very nice pair of jeans from Paul Smith’s supposedly Japanese Denim brand Red Ear. The irregular button fly must be the best feature of the jeans. Most of the Red Ear clothing that I have seen in the past year has not been made in Japan. Instead, it was made in China [...]
Evisu Japan 2000 No.2 (1 month)
At the Evisu Tailor store in Daikanyama the staff are incredibly helpful. They have shelves full of blank jeans. You select the style (2000, 2001 etc.), the size (32, 33 etc), the denim grade (No.1, No.2, No.3 etc), and then you can select what colour and which pockets you want the Evisu seagull painted. You [...]
LVC Japan 1947 501 (12 months)
These are a remake/re-edition of the 1947 Levis 501 – which some believe to be the most classic Levis model. I got these in the Levis Parco store in Shibuya. I’ve worn them about 8 months. Sometimes people will refer to old Levis as “Big E” because the red tag on the back pocket features [...]
Nudie Regular Ralf Selvedge 1 (18 months)
This is my first pair of Nudies. I got them quite cheap “on sale”, but they were probably two sizes too big. I thought I could shrink them down in the dryer, it kind of worked, but smaller jeans would’ve been much better. The extra washing, and putting the jeans in the dryer wasn’t a [...]
Evisu Int. Lot.0010 (18 months)
These are China Made Evisu. I got these as I was still learning about denim. The back pocket design is quite rare. They also feature no belt loops, and two small waistband straps for tightening. The denim is quite bland in comparison to what I appreciate now. The denim and indigo of these jeans is [...]
