  1. Its going to be 49 degress Fahrenheit today, so its not that hot.

    Besides, I only started wearing sneakers a year ago, so I'm very used to boots in the summer. Sneakers still feel like slippers to me- kinda like washed denim feels like jammies.

    Doesn't bother me a bit.

  3. Just some selected quotes regarding the AWA denim straight from the Kicking Mules mouth:

    natural indigo dye grown in Japan

    hand-dyed in hank form in Japan

    the slubbiness occurs because when the dyer wrings out the hank it disturbs the alignment of the cotton fibers making thick and thin areas along the yarn.

    Fabric weight is 17 oz

    It is NOT hand woven – it is woven on the wooden shuttle looms

    Due to the way the yarn is hand dyed the dye is pressed into the core of the yarn so the yarn is dyed evenly in color all the way to the core. Conventional dying leaves the core of the yarn much lighter than the out side. As a result the Awa Jean will maintain its color for a long time, even with wear.

    They are moving fast (I'm shipping out 5 pair today), and once we get them up on the webstore they will disappear so if you want a pair get at me soon.

  4. Tweeds-

    PG2G got it right, but make no mistake- the "normal ones" are awesome. At $275 they easily compete with and beat anything in that range.

    The AWAs, however, are in an entirely different universe- and worth every penny.

  5. dasman989-

    Did you get your 1950 AWAs back yet?

    We (CONTEXT) just took delivery of the last 21 pair- when you described the denim as sheet metal you were right on. Barbara from KMW did recommend that we don't size people down as much on the AWA because the denim is so heavy that it won't stretch as much as your average selvage. Hand-hank dyed and hand loomed, purple selvage, triple chain stitch, etc. We are putting them up on the website now- the detail photos really show the irregularity of the weave.

    If anyone wants to grab a pair before they go online and disappear pm me or call the store.

  6. sam, do you carry the women's IA line?

    We do not.

    However, the mens straight leg and the first womens cut are very similar. The rise is low and the pockets are small so they work very well on girls. We sell half of our IAs to women.
