Glue Jeans

[photo]

I stumbled on this denim company based out of Amsterdam that are putting out a limited release of jeans that are not stitched but instead glued at the seems. Don't come across to me as being that aesthetically pleasing but sure a different idea. Check out the close-up's under collection part 2. Heres the link

nice find. looks kinda stupid tbh, I think I'd need to see them in person though. can't imagine they'd hold up that well either.

don't know why they seem to pushing those red seams so hard. The black ones look pretty cool, like tar almost.

I could possibly try to go and check these out in person...

If I can be bothered that is...

[jyoni]

do it...the more I think about them the more curious I am. The black ones are like a denim birchbark canoe, lol.

Can't see these being able to withstand any sort of pressure at the seams.

Yea the durability was the first thing that I thought of, it did say that they have been tested for 2 years so they might be durable.

Them jeans is ugly, but if you zoom in on one and click the right arrow really fast over and over the dance is hypnotic.

I'm still a little iffy. who knows what this 'durability testing' involves. keeping in mind the fact that they're raw, and people on sufu would be likely to not wash them, I'd assume they would fall apart fast. wait and see, I guess

what the hell, the red inseam just look ridiculusly weird. First thing come to my mind is the levi's engineer jeans back many years ago. But then realize is even worst than that. The worst part is the name...Glue Jeans??...just like Paper denim

This is dry denim prewashed

You can still expect a maximum of 1,5 % shrinkage

Best regards

420 Euros huh? I don't even want to think about how many $'s that is. Way too expensive.

[jyoni]

far too costly.
