This is my 3rd pair of Blubaugh. As a rider, these are what you need. The Kuroki denim is what any self respecting Japanese denim "old school" rocker would be wearing. The comments received are that this looks like classic old Japanese denim. They feel broken in as soon as you put 'em on for the first time. Here's hoping the guys at Tellason use this denim from Kuroki in another cut. I'd like to see this denim in a JGM or a Clampdown.
