Thanks for actually *wearing* the jeans and showing us how they look close up, back, behind, front, side, etc. Lots of youtube denim reviewers just hold the jeans in their hands only and you can't really get a feel for the shape, fit or characteristics of the particular denims. So I appreciate that. New subscriber here.
I think these jeans look the best on you out of all the jeans you have reviewed on the channel. I love your jeans content, no one on youtube does it, keep up the good work, please review more jeans! Subscribed!
So glad you like it, I wasn't sure if anyone would watch these when I added denim reviews to the rotation. I agree, they fit better than any other pair I own! Such a fan of this pair.
This review came just in the nick of time for me. I'm going to Japan this weekend and had my heart set on Momotaro jeans, but I will definitely give these a try. I was going to get the MOMOTARO 0106SPZ for the exact same reason. I need a roomier thigh and butt while still narrow at the bottom.
This is the comment I was waiting for haha, I really wanted this to be a video that could unveil the world of Japanese jeans for people who didn't know they were a thing. Check out this article on my site for a bit more on why people go nuts for Japanese denim stridewise.com/why-is-japanese-denim-so-expensive/
I just got these in today and I can honestly say in blown away! You really can't even begin to explain the texture because pictures don't even come close to doing it justice! Oh sorry I got the slb 0-19. Seriously insane.
I bought these when I went to Japan. Best jeans ever. Thanks for doing this video because it really swayed my opinion. I was going to go Flathead or Momotaro, but you put me on these. Relaxed tapered fits great.
I really want to do a jeans buying trip to Japan as well, Raymond! I wore these jeans today, they're definitely my favorites of all my Japanese denim. Really grateful they do the relaxed tapered fit.
I want japanese jeans so bad but im scared to drop $300+ on something I can’t try on. I have a nice collection of Naked & Famous, APC, Nudie and Unbranded but that’s all we can get locally in Canada. Nice vids cheers
At least half the boots worn in this video don't have video reviews. Get on it! Lol thanks for the all the in depth reviews you do, great channel you got here. Sweet jeans too
Haha I know, I always have so many boots in my backlog but I'm trying to do like a jean/sneaker/something else every month so the boots keep piling up while I never have enough non-boot content ready to go. If you want the scripts of these reviews though that I've filmed and not published you can always email me!
Turd Ferguson lived in Japan for four years. There is a small subculture of people that rock selvedge denim. It’s normally the ones with eccentric hairstyles and a bunch of jewelry. It’s like a rock and roll style
Great review! I just bought a pair yesterday of NP-13.8oz-003 for about $400. I will definitely buy from your link next time and pay about half. 🥴 I tried on a few different brands but these felt the best and they had the best pocket bags. I can’t stand when companies skimp on that!
I really like those jeans, I was waiting for this review to see what your thoughts are on them. I'll definitely be checking them out. I've been wearing Freenote jeans myself and they're incredible. Check them next time you're in the market for a new pair of raws. I can't say enough good about them
Okayama is Japan’s historical center of indigo-dyed textiles ( _ai-zome_ ), so it makes sense that the country’s denim-making industry would set up shop there. (Knowing this, however, does not change the fact that the most expensive Japanese jeans I can afford are your mall-brand Edwins.)
Great video and has helped me do some denim research. I wanted to mention that I have heard on good authority from a denim retailer that the PBJ NP-019 features synthetic indigo, not natural. Maybe that's worth double-checking? 🤷♂️ Likewise PBJ's website does not mention a natural source for the dye of this cut. I suspect maybe this powdered indigo you mentioned = synthetic.
Always enjoy your videos Nick. Do you have a list in priority order of your most favorite jeans? I’ll use that list to buy my next 2-3 pair. Thank you!!
Seriously, how do you not have more subscribers? The most detailed reviews and the the video doesn't drag on like others. You should collaborate with some other channels
yeah i'm working on some stuff with modest man, kavalier, and murawski, hopefully that helps haha. i wouldn't think anyone would say i don't drag on with this particular video it's soo long lol, but thank you Trey! Big vote of confidence, esp as I'm writing another jeans review
Very beautiful denim, although the leaf does indeed look like gum or bird poop if you don't look closely, haha. You should try straight fit too, or atleast a little more loose than these. It'd look great I think. Tapered fit gives the illusion of having knock-knees somehow. Maybe it's just me.
Haha I think as I keep buying more niche brands I'll have to get straight fits, they just hug my thighs too close and a tapered leg looks more modern I think. But I'll have to suck it up.
what about fading in relation to sanforized or unsanforized denim? does one fade faster or with more contrast then the other based on that? and what about one washed or home soaked, does that make it so the fading isn't as dramatic?
@@Stridewise indeed, so much of the denim has now faded to the core or been patched and re-patched I only tend to wear them once in a while, spring going into summer.
i dont wash mine very ofter but i have a few pairs so i never wear the same pair twice. i flip them inside out and hang them to air out every once in awhile before im going wear them whether i think they need it or not
Hey nick-- hoping you could advise here a bit more with your height + weight for sizing. Do you typically wear a ~17in waist for a mid rise? I'm about 190lb athletic build and prefer a ~17.25in for a mid low rise and am debating between a 33-34 for the 019 cut for a slim fit. I'm having a hard time gauging the rise and fit impact online
Cool review, man. I'm another guy who likes to squat so fit is tough for me too. Looking at your video, I think the fit on you is still more than I'd feel happy with on my own body. Lately I've been looking for jeans with a gusset because crotch blow out is so frequent for me. It's so disappointing when you're paying big money in denim. I recently bought the swrv organic denim and so far so good. I'd like to see if you have any suggestions for gusseted jeans.
Yo Terry gusseted jeans is something I think about all the time, but given my thing right now is running down the best known Japanese jeans, I have to go with traditional construction! I like the reinforced crotch on my Zanerobe joggers though :)
Im a big fan of japan denim.. had almost 6 pair of them different in brand..for me, non can came close to samurai jeans in attention to detail and quality.. hope you can do a review of samurai jeans..and share your tought about it.. nice video btw..keep it up..subs !!
@@Stridewise If you can still get the 211 Oversea Edition, the fit after a rinse is very similar to these PBJ's but unfortunately only a 32" inseam. As a former Rugby player I have the same fit issues as yourself but have a relatively short leg for my height so still get a reasonable single cuff with these jeans. The denim is also super irregular too, with all the usual Sammie details so should age beautifully
I got into selvedge exactly 1 year ago. And luckily the pair I ended up gravitating towards were a pair of PBJs (the ones that have these electric blue hue to them). Its the only pair of selvedge denim I have. I love them. The leaf on the back pocket is such a cook detail. The patch with the sumo dude dying his denim is nice too. They're only 14oz though. For my next pair I want a true slub
+Zahinn. The whole thing about selvedge denim always makes me laugh. Few people seem to realize that all woven fabrics come off the loom with selvedge edges. In the past, it was retained, to save a double seam on the outside leg, but as production increased, it caused 2 problems. Firstly when cutting machines that cut several layers of denim were introduced, it was impossible to keep the layers in register. Therefore, the cutting worked from the center, the selvedge went to waste and machines were introduced to carpet stitch the outside edge of the jeans. Secondly, due to the increased demand for denim. factories installed wider looms. Therefore, even if the selvedge was retained, it would be on less than half of the jeans. This would have made volume production a nightmare. Today, smaller specialist companies have created a demand for retaining the selvedge, while saving the huge costs of the carpet stitching machines. Mainstream manufactureres have 'cashed in' by cutting a few jeans from the broadloom denim at the edges. Although they are cut from the same roll of fabric as other jeans, the price is higher. When you see a single strand of another color in the selvedge it is simply manufacturers loom identification. In the past, denim made to Levi's specification had a red strand. It is amazing how an industry can create fashion statements from changes in production methods. PS, Raw denim is another story. but very similar. Preshrunk denim was introduced when poly-cotton started being used for stronger seams at lower cost. If this was used without shrinking the denim, as the jeans shrunk in the wash and the seams did not, the stitching would come loose. You will occasionally see this on raw denim jeans today, where the manufacturer has overlooked the problem. You may be surprised that I have nothing to do with jeans manufacture, I deal with fabrics used for the restoration of historic buildings. LOL
they stretched an inch or two after buying but after that they were about the same size forever. like most jeans they stretch with wear and shrink back when washed , stretch back out, etc
I'll get to them haha but I've got a bunch of others in the pipeline first: two Red Wings, Urban Shepherd, Ariat, John Doe, a ton of others. So busy Blayne!
Thanks for the recommendation! I do reeeeally like a tapered leg though, especially as I usaully prefer slimmer boots like Thursday/Parkhurst etc. But I'll think on this!
@@Stridewise That makes sense. Especially considering you are in NYC. I'm in a small farm/ranch section in CA. So straight legs or even vintage wide straight legs are no big deal.
@@tomlee2481 The heavy slub weave denim certainly resists cigarette embers better than the finer weave. When their are no ashtrays at a party, I use the turnup of mine to ash and stub my cigarettes out. Have you ever used yours as an ashtray.?
I haven't! I'm just doing the flagship jeans from each brand and I've done N&F already, but I might revisit them - they do have king of slub in my fit!
Makes me a crummy reviewer bc there are so many companies I can't try haha, but at the end of all this I'll have a KILLER list of 'best selvedge jeans for thick thighs'
I don't have any experience with Nudie myself, but being a Swedish resident, I've seen a lot of Nudie in my days. I can't speak for elsewhere, but here they're about as usual as Levis or maybe Lee's. My guess is that they're a little too mainstream to appeal to the really passionate denimheads. Can't speak for quality, but they seem to be somewhat more ethically produced than Levis mainline, and perhaps better constructed with higher quality fabrics (turkish denim, cutting and sewing in Portugal). Hope i shed some light on the matter:)
@@joelsa22 I see, so different perspective then maybe. And I'm just realised that I'm not that as denimheaded as i think. Because for me, like it or not, my denim is part of my fashion. I only wears cloth that I think, or maybe some people suggested, suits me, the body type, especially. I think ive seen thousand dollars japan denim with regular or pipe cut, worn by not-really tall asian guys (me as asian can relate), or the skinny cut worn by bulky dude. Man, denim is fashion, not a nuclear weapon. The bigger the blast the better and so on. For me, Nudie just providing the right things by giving so many options on cutting and fit. Respect, for this one swedish brand!
Hi , how big would the describe the size 36? Would it be too big or too small for me who wears 34 , or would it be just right? I reckon im one size bigger than you!
Probably pure blue japan, just because they're so weird :) Samurai I think is a good blend of weird and classic. Full Count is best for classic vintage look, I think. Iron Heart is thick and stiff but it didn't fit me very well, but it's the best for smooth tough denim.
@@Stridewise I wanted to get into heavy weight denim and I got the PBJ 17oz left hand twill around a year ago at Self Edge in SF. Very expensive of course, but totally worth it! I'm sure they will last 5-10 years. Amazing pair!
Hold the eff up lol. These $400 jeans will stain me and the rest of my clothes if it simply rains? That demonstration with the wet paper towel was seriously the most absurd thing haha... I’m sorry but this is an unfinished product if I need to warn people that I could stain anything in a 10 ft radius if I’m near water
@@Stridewise Lol I was exaggerating for effect man. Obviously ink isn’t going to come spraying out of the jeans if they get wet, BUT it is still insane that they’ll bleed like that.
Why do you cuff those jeans??? Just tell me why? Which is the reason for this? Come on, don't be so mainstream. Btw I'm not a hater "like you TH-camrs like to say" Like your content and don't have any problem with your accent.
mostly because they'll shrink a bit when i wash them the first time so I don't know what the length of the jeans will wind up being. I could have gotten some hemming done at the store but i was heading out on a trip and wanted a pair of jeans to wear so i just took them and rolled up the cuffs. another reason people do this is because of the selvedge ID that you can only see when the jeans are rolled up, that's a sign of higher quality jeans some people like to show off.

I think ive seen thousand dollars japan denim with regular or pipe cut, worn by not-really tall asian guys (me as asian can relate), or the skinny cut worn by bulky dude. Man, denim is fashion, not a nuclear weapon. The bigger the blast the better and so on.
For me, Nudie just providing the right things by giving so many options on cutting and fit. Respect, for this one swedish brand!
Hi , how big would the describe the size 36? Would it be too big or too small for me who wears 34 , or would it be just right? I reckon im one size bigger than you!
I think it'd be just right on you, Brian!
is bak kenapa sih kok tidak bisa di downglod
igg
Thank you very informative review. Why you have aussie accent?
I'm Australian! But I've lived in 7 countries and have been in NYC for 8 years so my accent is a bit messed up from it.
I think the slubbiest one is the “king of slub” by naked & famous denim.
Naked & famous 🤮 you’re casual
What is your favourite JP denim brand. Looking to purchase my first pair
Probably pure blue japan, just because they're so weird :) Samurai I think is a good blend of weird and classic. Full Count is best for classic vintage look, I think. Iron Heart is thick and stiff but it didn't fit me very well, but it's the best for smooth tough denim.
What boots are you wearing at the 4:04 mark?
Mark Albert! th-cam.com/video/bmiWhKehEd0/w-d-xo.html
What the name of your jacket in the first of video
It's from Thursday Boot Company!
Great review, my favorite pair of jeans....
You going to do reviews of 3Sixteen and Kapital?
I'll get there! Momotaro and Samurai next.
Any updates? Thanks
Yep, they're still good?
Is there a Thursday Boot Co of Japanese denim?
Gustin is sort of close, but they have a long wait time.
Maybe Naked & Famous?
@@Stridewise Thanks mate, I'll have a look
You should check out the naked and famous Lord of nep ;)
I will once I've done the rounds of other Japanese brands! Wearing in my Samurais right now :)
@@Stridewise nice
is cool.
Ever go into say a 7 eleven in your Levi’s jeans in particular with your zipped up leather biker jacket to buy something??
Yes?
Yes meaning you have??
Good🦟
best gay guy on youtube
I guess that's a compliment
@@Stridewise totally
Oi meu nomi é Pedro Orlando de Toritama Pernambuco Brasil 😁👍👏💰 so cortador
I want a pair of PBJ but my wallet said NOPE
Haha but they'll last so much longer than cheaper jeans!
@@Stridewise I wanted to get into heavy weight denim and I got the PBJ 17oz left hand twill around a year ago at Self Edge in SF. Very expensive of course, but totally worth it! I'm sure they will last 5-10 years. Amazing pair!
They are too expensive, very low value compared to other jeans
Which jeans would you rather get? I'm trying to get as many brands as I can
Stridewise, JC Penny “Foremost”. Bailey’s “Wild Ass Double Front Denim Logger Pants”
Trollism is an aweful disease ya know..?
Hold the eff up lol. These $400 jeans will stain me and the rest of my clothes if it simply rains? That demonstration with the wet paper towel was seriously the most absurd thing haha... I’m sorry but this is an unfinished product if I need to warn people that I could stain anything in a 10 ft radius if I’m near water
You were making sense until you said it stains anything in a 10 foot radius if you're anywhere near water
@@Stridewise Lol I was exaggerating for effect man. Obviously ink isn’t going to come spraying out of the jeans if they get wet, BUT it is still insane that they’ll bleed like that.
im sorry man but your denim fit is just wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too tight yo
Why do you cuff those jeans??? Just tell me why? Which is the reason for this? Come on, don't be so mainstream. Btw I'm not a hater "like you TH-camrs like to say" Like your content and don't have any problem with your accent.
mostly because they'll shrink a bit when i wash them the first time so I don't know what the length of the jeans will wind up being. I could have gotten some hemming done at the store but i was heading out on a trip and wanted a pair of jeans to wear so i just took them and rolled up the cuffs. another reason people do this is because of the selvedge ID that you can only see when the jeans are rolled up, that's a sign of higher quality jeans some people like to show off.
@@Stridewise No need to defend yourself against some self-proclaimed internet denim expert. Some of us roll our jeans and that is A-Okay.
