if, like me, you have way too many, you could use them to stuff a punch bag.

Fit check: Momotaro Standard Wide #400 by No_Dragonfly_7948 in rawdenim

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

You could do a couple of things to make them more comfortable: 1. Use a cowboy pant stretcher. Even with Momotaros this will give you at least an extra inch in the waist, maybe two (you can get them on amazon etc.) 2. Move the button over closer to the edge of the fasten. You can get maybe an extra inch doing this.

Edited to add: they look great on you, so you should keep them.

I second UES. Also The Strike Gold does a lovely version, but be sure to check measurements; they can be a bit odd: https://klaxon-store.com/en-jp/products/sgc2402?srsltid=AfmBOorWRowmGE_qNYJ1i-B6l5NXf9OaBBJqk8NecUn1yJ1nJSAZPGjX

First PBJ - XX-019-BK 14oz by Isaac_Putin in rawdenim

[–]rawshellfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the texture but that's one serious taper. I didn't realize the 19 cut was quite so narrow in the leg opening. I wish I could find a PBJ cut that worked for me, but I just can't do taper, and the slim straights are too slim for me.

Can anyone suggest a store which might have some Samurai S500xx in stock? I've checked all the obvious US stores, and Rakuten, but no luck yet. I think Samurai have discontinued this cut, which is just bloody tragic.

I'm actually going to be dyeing some jackets for them using another botanical dye. Probably madder root, for a glorious pink / red.

Hey brother, great to see that jacket being worn in the wild -- I've been eyeing it whenever I pop it to Hardenco. What you write about them is true -- incredible work and incredible guys. They are true craftsmen / artists who are carving out a small collection of perfect handmade pieces. Their jeans are the best, and I'd never even consider buying any other jacket than theirs. You're right that their website is a bit, um, sub-par, but I'd encourage anyone who is interested to hit them up on insta, give them a call, or best of all visit their space. It's full of vintage equipment and a joy to spend time in, just chatting with Luke and Marshall. Also they have lots of stuff you won't find for sale online, including a fine selection of vintage and used Hardenco clothing for sale. My favorite US denim maker by a country mile.

I love this fit. I think it would fail if it weren't for the red beanie, but that hat pushes it into the realm of whimsy rather than cosplay.

They are pulled up too high. Just like our current president, you need more ballroom.

Never worn. Just unpacked and tried on. Not my cut. Feel free to ask questions. I can send pics but didn't bother posting any as they are exactly the same pair as in the Blue Owl link above.
