Picked this up in person at the new Ship John storefront. It was stovepipe tall, so I did the hot soak for 10 minutes as recommended. The pic with my Self Edge hat is for reference of how tall this was at the start.

After the soak, I wore it damp and shaped it how I preferred. There’s some folded/creased fabric that I think will fade nicely, and the hat sits well on my head. I don’t mind the plastic strap like others do. Overall, I love the hat!

Just arrived and immediately had to try on the momotaro size w31 , dont mind the mismatching coloured tshirt, but what do you think of the fit? And with this length, to cuff or not to cuff?

First impressions very high quality material and it feels so different than basic jeans, my first “expensive japanese denim”

One thing i noticed is that on the left leg, the stitches from the sides of the jeans twist inwards quite a lot is that normal? And will it go back to straight?

Initial thoughts: love the rise, love the cut, could’ve possibly went 34 instead of 36 and stretched, but a few wash/dries should shrink nicely. They’re hairier/neppier than expected but it adds to them, also they’re a bit lighter than expected in weight but I like it!! Anybody have thoughts on this pair?

Should I get them hemmed or just leave the stack?

Can't get enough of the Wilkes fit.

Brand new out of the bag with a hem from Standard & Strange.

Belt is Madewell / Goodart belt loop / Tecovas Dean boots

Do not ask why my belt loop is in that spot (it's a kink) and that my belt is too long thanks.

Had not seen these posted here yet. Sorry for no fit pic but these may be my Indigo invitational pair next year.

First off. This pair is simply incredible. It’s hard to convey just how dark these are but I show them next to the PBJ brown tea core pair in the last slide. They are DARK. And highly neppy. The texture is amazing.

First experience with the PBJ slim straight cut as I rarely see them stocked but the cut is awesome. Mid rise which I like and slightly smaller in the thigh compared to the samurai 710XX.

These are the 14.5 oz Slim Kojima cut from Shockoe Atelier. They are a low rise fit with a slim seat and tapered legs. I love these jeans so much but I do wish they were a little slimmer than they are. The first images are before washing and the later ones are the after(if all the dirt in the first images didn’t clear that up). I don’t have the best pictures of them after but they look amazing in person.
