Not other than waist and length. They look like a fairly average straight leg cut. I'm not familiar enough with other denims to be able to compare them. I swear I saw some skinny-fit selvege too, but they aren't showing on the website, so either I was imagining things, or... they have product in the store that they aren't selling online. I will go back and check it out for like thigh measurements and etc. if you want.

****, maybe I should raise my prices.

To reiterate, the $65 shipped cost is from the US when I return. Some of that cost is going to be shipping, some is going to be the cost of checking and carrying an additional bag full of heavy ass denim.

I'm going to cap this price at about 10 pairs. (not including the ones I've already promised J and Bishop). Any orders above and beond that will probably be slightly more.

 

[iazniguy]

can you get the measurement of the leg opening of the premium regular fit vs the premium skinny jeans. Yea i think they have the skinny.

I'm pretty sure they are $49.50 at Uniqlo NY. When available.

I have non-selvage s-002 from last year, decent jeans but I don't wear them all that much.

Fuckk they are indeed $80.. not worth it.

 

[iazniguy]

what the measurement on the s002 that you have. they are probably the same measurement of the premium i believe.

Here are the measurements of my 30 x 32 tagged '06 nonselvage S-002 when new:

Waist 32
Inseam 32.5
Hem 8.7 ish
RR 14.5
FR 10

They shrink about 1 inch in length only. Basically negligible.

I felt they ran mega large in the waist. I almost bought a 29 but unlike most of my other jeans, the ass-balls area was proportionally tighter, not enough room for me.

By the way, I'm guessing these new S-002s are a completely different cut. My old versions are not slim cut in the least. I would say they are most similar to APC Rescues, maybe even looser.

 

[Tokyo Slim]

I don't think the S-002's looked that slim. (IE It looks like I'd be able to fit in them). Not familiar with APC rescues, but they look like a straight or classic cut. I thought I saw some slim selvege while I was there, but I cannot evidence it on the website, so I'll have to go back and check.

I got a pair of the straight selvage, they run a bit big (I wore them in my last WAYWN pic). I suggest 1-2 sizes smaller than normal for a good fit. They are still a bit big in the thigh area though. They also have Skinny fit selvage available.

The measurements on the S-002s are kinda wacky, these raw selvage ones run a bit big, the single wash S-002s I got last year are slimmer but still a little big, and the lightly distressed S-002s I got last summer run by far the smallest/slimmest.

In response to payment query:

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.

s002s are slightly less slim than new standard (but not rescue big)
s000s are slightly more slim than new standard (but not new cure slim)

$80 and they're in the NY store now. The denim looks really good for a under $100 jean. There have been nothing but solid reviews about the old uniqlo selvage line they had and it appears to be a great deal for a cheap pair of quality selvage jeans if one of the cuts works for you.

I suggest 1(maybe 2 if you really want) size down on the 002. True to size (maybe 1 size down if you really want) on the s000s.

There is a large thread about it on sufu with only 1 fit pic though because it's a relatively new thing (in the states they came out this week).

 

[dilemma]

are you picking up the s-000 or s002 style?
