Skull Jeans
Skull Jeans are known for their more slim and modern cuts. If you're looking for jeans as skinny as Acne's Max or Dior's jeans, this is your stop. Their skinniest pair is the 5010. It is available in two types of denim, one is unsanforized shrink-to-fit denim that come in a one wash-state and the other one is a sanforized denim that can be bought raw and has a black leather patch.
Because of the different denim they are sized slightly differently, so look at the measurements to make sure you get the right size. You can also check out 5507 and 5109XXS(hair-on-hide patch), they are slim but not skinny cuts.
They also make fuller cuts and black jeans.

The Flat Head
Next out is The Flat Head with its weird arcuate, a snake biting another snake or what? Anyway, the denim is awesome, similar to Eternal's, and the 3001 cut is slim.
You should be able to remove the backpocket stitching without leaving any trace behind if you don't like the arcuate. Also available in black as the 4001BK.

Fullcount
Fullcount only use Zimbabwean single-cropped(harvested once a year) cotton, which is probably the highest quality cotton you can use in jeans. Zimbabwean cotton is know for its long fibres and because it is single-cropped, it's allowed to grow even longer than cotton that is harvested more than once a year. This allows Fullcount to make denim of "only" 13.76oz weight that is as durable as other brands' 15 or more oz jeans.
Their 1108 cut is slim with a high waist, so you will probably want to size down if you're used to lower waists.
The same cut is also available in black(1310) and indigo overdyed with black(1474).

Samurai
Samurai's slimmest pair is the S0505XX, which I own. You need only scroll down to find pictures of details and fit. You can order directly from Samurai and they have measurements for all sizes. The S0505XX's are almost sold out though, so you better hurry if you want a pair.
They also have other cuts that aren't quite as slim but can still be described as slim, the S5000VX for example.

Studio D'Artisan
The SD-103 is a reasonably slim cut and again, scroll down for pictures. It is not quite as slim as the other cuts listed above though. They do have a huge advantage over the other brands; pigs.

Eternal
The Eternal 811's are about the same fit as the SD-103's, except for the rise which is about 1" higher, maybe? The denim is awesome, 'nough said.
There is also the Eternal 846 and 851. They are the same cut, slightly slimmer than the 811's and 14oz instead of 14.5 like the 811's. The 846's are indigo dyed and the 851's are black.
They are Eternal's budget jeans, but the only budget thing about them is the single-selvedge. Unfortunately, the 846's are sold out most places.

Very very nice, thank you!
Hi! I'm from Sweden, like you :)
It isn't that hard to get the right size and cut, you just have to spend a lot of time on translated Japanese websites before you order. I changed my mind about which jeans and in what size I was going to buy more than 20 times before I ordered my first pair from Japan. And I'm still learning! If you get the wrong size you can always sell them on superfuture.
I'm going to write more about how to order jeans from Japan and how to determine which size to get etc, not sure when I'll be done, but it shouldn't take too long.
Sorry, don't know about other blog services :/
Hey man, the Eternals look good on you but you need to wear a lower profile shoe with them
I love the size of these jeans .. are very comfortable!
Quite worthwhile info, thank you for the article.
Wow, there is a lot of worthwhile material above!
The designs have evolved into a contemporary style moving away from the classic structured genes of the early 19th century. These are flashy and well-managed by providing a little bit of kitsch and charm through the detailing as well as the use of different colours. The brand has its own unique selvage to identify and confirm the authenticity of the origin of the denim fabric. Full Count
