Here's my pair.
I've gone for a 1940's repro on the 03 cut which is a 1940's cut, I've mixed Levis & Lee details.
Details include olive drab herring bone pocket bags, painted arcs, laurel wreath top button, iron fly buttons with the late addition of an Ooe bottom button, selvage fly finishing, pocket label, all 100% cotton lemon yellow stitching throughout, Lee style pocket reinforcement including single watch pocket cross, flat rivets.

Cool jeans, liking the slim fit a lot! Will they shrink further?
And Ryo and Hiro are very reliable correspondents, I can vouch for that from personal experience. But they do everything between the two of them, and when things get busy, and/or they are away for a couple days, it can take some time until they reply. Give them a week or so, and if all else fails, perhaps a friendly reminder mail after that.

Surprisingly received my custom made pair today already, an Italian business colleague of my good friend who visited Hiro and Ryo during his two-month Japan stay came to Berlin for some conference and "couriered" them.
I am totally in awe.
Pics soon, may take a little.

Nr. 43. Liked its texture and colour shade best from the samples I got, plus R&H promised the most "radical" fading…that sold it to me!

anyone knows where their shop in japan is?

Send them an email. I think they have some of their stuff in a couple stores, but you will probably only find their bags and accessories. Their clothes are tailored/made to order. Everything is made by Ryo and Hiro (husband/wife duo). One of their families owns a box factory, so their atelier is within the box factory. The boxes they mail shit in, is this matte finish black box, it's pretty nice. I got a bag for my friends wife and she loves it so much, she babies the shit out of it. I told her that its denim and she should beat it. It was the Eco-Bag and it ran $80. Roy is cool, Ryo & Hiro are cooler, IMHO….
