Plus it says draught

Can't wait for Dragon age, then far cry followed by a ton of gta5

Couldn't figure out what to do 100% of the time. Had to follow a guide that specifically told what to do and it still took forever to trigger most of the events.

Been wanting to play it for a while. Awesome that it's free on ps4.

Anyone seen that new GTA5 fps trailer?

Can't wait for GTA5 again lol. Might take the day off from work again like I did last year

Lol

Nay

Mulaney sooooo bad

Took back Destiny and picked up Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. Will report back...

I haven't had a chance to play this week but my wife has been playing it. I'll try to get on this weekend. Still rather keep playing TLOU though. Can't wait for GTA5 remastered!

Well do you want the best console ever made or an overpriced media console with motion control?

Full disclosure: I'm definitely a PS4 fanboy but I can't think of a single instance where the xbox would be better.

nemoulette - so good to see you here! One of the all time classic superdenim OGs right here people... find some pictures of this dudes leepros if you haven't seen 'em.

Damn....

An old post from Kiya where he explains it much better than I could.

Another great thread...

A few quick notes on the differences.. I can very easily tell the difference between denim that has and has not been sanforized.

During the process of which the denim goes through, the fabric is put under extreme pressure and therefore is compressed.

This compressed nature is partially the reason Imperial, Nudies, Iron Heart, and APC have a slight sheen to them. And is the same reason that Flat Head, Real McCoy's, and Sugarcane do NOT have a sheen.

Keep in mind, what i just said is from personal experience and being around denim for years, whether or not it's scientifically true is up for discussion.

I prefer non-saforized denim for a variety of reasons.. a few being that i believe the fading on non-sanforized denim is more interesting, the post soak hue of indigo on the denim is far deeper on non-saforized denim, and i like the ritual of soaking/measuring/watching closing before my initial wear of a new pair.

I'm sure that if you had 2 rolls of identical fabric and put one through a sanforization process you'd see the characteristics Kiya describes more obviously.

I thought cone mills was a good company to compare Sanforized vs unsanforized because even though they produce hundreds of varieties of denim there seem to be more similarities than differences in the characteristics of the various white oak denims I've personally handled.

other than the fact they are simply 2 different denims?

Precisely that. There's a certain look to a faded Sanforized denim. I'm not sure how to describe it but it's just different. If I can come up with a picture that shows what I'm talking about I will post back.

I understand there won't be any shrinkage but unsanforized denim ages differently than sanforized. Already breaking in a pair of sanforized cone RRLs so trying to go for some variety. Appreciate everyone's info.

just checked and they are made in turkey. I suppose i can live with that for the price I paid. denim is definitely still unsanforized, right?

is there any difference in denim used between '47 501 rigid and '47 501 rough rinse? happened upon a few pairs of rough rinse at deep discount and was wondering why the retail price difference between the two exists if everything is the same except the one wash process.

What he probably was referring to was the various generations that RRL has gone through. In this case he makes a good point as things with RRL tend to be cyclical. However in this case I think the cycle just started about a year ago so some time may pass before we see major changes, especially if profitability ticks up.

Prob not the icon jeans, those will be cone for some years to come. However seasonal and washes will still be done in fabrics from all over, including Japan.

By icon I'm just referring to the standard 5 pocket jeans.

I recently picked up the Slim-Fit Rigid denim. Inside the pockets it says that they are made of Japanese woven selvedge denim. Anyone know where they get the denim from?

Not sure, but you bought old stock. They've since switched to American denim from cone mills but a lot of people have been trying to seek out the old Japanese stock. Stores carry the American denim, but they were clearing some Japanese out on the online shop for others who might be looking to get some. Can't guarantee you'll get the old stock so YMMV.

They used to be quite slim, but i haven't bought any new ones in some years. If you're looking for RRL sizing styleforum will have more info on the subject than you'll find anywhere else.

I'm breaking in a pair of the low straight cone mills right now too - quite surprised how quick the denim is aging especially considering that I'm not really wearing them all that hard or often.
