  1. It seems everyone is requesting very similar styles. medium-high rise straight, slight taper.standard hardware....

    what colors stitching????!!

    construction details?

    we are open to personal customizations.

    please include measurements in your pm requests.

    also i think we need a name for the collaboration everyone will be happy with. ;)

  2. so it seems that it would be better to call this the hardenco x internet denim nerds colab... open to other ideas as well.....i already have a couple people that have confirmed that they would be down for a pair with specific cut/fabric/ details, anyone intrigued by this opportunity, please pm me with your desired details.......cone duck and sanforized cone jeans would be at $144 with standard buttons, standard construction, , the japanese slucb would be $165 with standard buttons, standard construction. plus shipping . and if we want to add custom brass,silver, or gold hardware or a special artwork branded patch that may be extra, but you pay the cost on add-on like that.

  3. I would like to give the superfuture the opportunity to get in a special pair of jeans at a special price.

    the jean would be designed through a collaboration between sufu and hartord denim.

    the price would be wholesale cost, paid prior to construction.

    late spring to summer delivery.

    who's interested?

  4. I love the fact cone is still going strong, using the old looms etc etc. But... what I can not stress enough, is the fact that the denim they are producing today for levis etc. is completely inferier to the denim you find on dead stock pieces from the 50's and 60's and I think thats a massive shame. I hate to rant about this but, I get so disappointed every time I see a pair of lvc repros honestly the denim is soooo much thinner, shinier, lighter and just plain nasty compared to the lovely stiff, thick and hairy denim you see on deadstock jeans from back in the day, For this reason, I am forced to buy Japanese made jeans where you have Momotaro/Warehouse actually coming close to that true authenticity purists like me are after. I have spoken to a number of denim heads/dealers about this so I know I am not alone! I would love to wear a pair of jeans with that same quality of repro denim that japanese brands offer but with that all important levis tab on the back pocket and Made in USA. (dont even get me started on the hardware/smaller details!) Come on Cone you can do it!

    Even just from this you can see the difference and this came out of Cone in the early 70's!

    I feel your frustration as i have been using both cone denim and japanese denim to make jeans for a few years now, and it wasn't untill recently, i have finally found a cone that had the substantial character i had been looking for. I believe cone has made an commitment to levis to not sell unsanforized denim to anyone else. I tried to get a custom denim produced but i could bring myself to buy 5000 yards of shiny, flat denim (sanforized). i Have however seen the denim on roys jeans and i find that to be reminicent of that thick, hairy, vintage denim we all are searing for. I have also manage to get a couple small bolts through the LA jobbers network.I have a bolt of denim with "levis" written on the roll with sharpie. This is product code XVOS. starting with "X" means shrink to fit, I bought the same denim last year but it was a 14 oz., this year it seams closer to 15oz. i think, XX20 is the lighter denim you see on all the levis repros. much better for shirts than pants.
