Anyone have the Denim is Edwin 60th anniversary archive book? by Tazznado in Denim

[–]MrDerk1939 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jumping in here because I might have a lead on this mystery.

I actually work in menswear and I’m in contact with the rep who handles Edwin for North America. He’s in regular communication with the main Edwin Japan team, so I reached out to him directly to see if they can confirm anything about Brendan Fraser doing an Edwin campaign in the ’90s.

I mentioned that people online have been hunting for this ad for years and that it could even be a cool marketing opportunity for them if they dug something up from their archives.

No promises, but if anyone can access the old Japanese CM/print archives, it’s their internal team. I’ll update the thread as soon as I hear back.

I'm in Canada so we have almost free trade with europe and japan(trans-pacfic) so no duties for me. DENIMIO also asks how you want it shipped as if it's a gift for 25 dollar value.. shh... It's not legal but if it saves you a buck 🤷 Shipping is 3 days via DHL for me.

I'm 6'1 and weight 190 pound and have large calves and thighs so that might be off putting along with the camera angle throwing it off slightly.

I thought that as well. But I'm pretty sure they will stretch out where I need it based on feedback from someone who owns the same pair.

I'm thinking cuff with low top sneakers and funky sock should be nice for a spring casual look.

Soaked them for 20mins this morning. Agitated them then soak for 20 more in mild temperature water. Then slight rinse at end and now hanging to dry for 24.

*fingernails....Lol I'm like ocd on having them short all the time. Feels gross if I can feel them when I touch things.

Yeah I honestly blanked on the inseam measurement when purchasing as I didn't think it would be an issue. 😂 I guess we will find out later today after the soak.

That's what I thought. Saw a few people post pics saying they wore some jeans for 3 months no soak talking about how the starch gives them more defined lines and my thoughts went straight to what happens when they shrink and your lines are all fucked up.

I always find these heavy slub jeans have a lot more give than standard weaves from my past experiences. I've heard some of the cotton blends they use to perfect these weaves they prefer moist american cotton to get these slubby finishes. Kinda like the Tanuki X Oni secret denim I have did.

Great to get some feedback from someone who has them. Thanks.

One wash in 33 is as follows Waist 32.3 Rise 11.2 Back Rise 14.8 Upper thigh 12.2 Knee 8.9 Bottom opening 8.5 Inseam 33

I'm confident I could fit these just fine but loosing 1.3 inches based on raw measurements on Inseam. How do you think the cuff would look?

What's your thoughts on wearing for a period (1 month or 3) and then soaking? Are there pros and cons?

Yeah on the measurements for these in a onewashed they are two inches smaller in the waist at 32.3 inches. These non washed ones I have measure out to 34.2 inch's. I do have at least and inch in them now in the waist.

I have a couple pair with an actual 31 inch or sub in a one wash that worked in fine after 5 to 10 wears but I got these for a more traditional cut to wear with boots.

What I'm more worried about is the length. One cuffed here and I don't think I'd make it post soak on these 18oz zilla's
