You adhered from the cotton which is used for cloth, you used “the mother cotton” of the brown cotton which has depth in color, former times [serubitsuji] to weave with the shuttle loom which is manufacturing method (the red ear) you made with the denim. “The material feeling premiere impression denim peculiar above”

Also, in response to payment query:

Quote:
I have a paypal account... But in all honesty, I would rather do a personal check or preferrably a money order sent to me with a shipping address when I return, so as not to incur $30 in paypal fees over the course of all the denim transactions I anticipate doing. I have enough money to buy outright about ten pairs of jeans to bring back, and really don't mind doing so for forum members.

If you would prefer paypal, and do not mind an additional $3 to cover the fees, I am willing to do that as well. Please let me know.

I will be buying within the next 48 hours, if you want to pay me before then through paypal, you may, otherwise I will just expect a check or money order when I return

Put me down for a pair in whatever Uniqlo size would fit a 34 waist. Anyone know whether to size up or down?

Are these slim? What other jean would you compare them to for fit and sizing? Just looking for a pair to wear cuffed vs. my stacked Diors. Thanks for the effort.

As stated in the other thread, I cannot honestly compare to other denim brands because I'm not really terribly familiar with them. The slim fit look pretty damn slim to me, but I'm a big dude, so maybe my perspectives are skewed. Someone posted measurements of the classic fit in the other thread, so maybe that would be a good indicator. I don't really know.


I don't have any pics that I've taken... but you can peruse the Uniqlo website for pics.

Ok. I am officially closing down all orders. Sorry if you missed it. I already have about as much as I can effectively carry.

I couldn't get any real accurate measurements in the store today, but roughly the waist sizing looks like maybe it runs large on both the slim fits and the classics. So you may want to size down one or two.

It was pretty damn busy in there. I hope I can fill everyone's order tomorrow without hitting up half a dozen stores.


Everyone who has already contacted me should be receiving a PM shortly.

Any chance you are picking up more? Regret not buying a pair when I visited the Shibuya store or the store in Shanghai which was surprisingly higher than Tokyo.

Unfortunately I am only able to get over there once every other year or so. Sorry!
