AWWWW: (sharpied)

Thoughts:

These are beautiful jeans. I think they're going to be my summer dress pair. They fit almost perfectly unsoaked, little bit of starchy wiggle room that will evaporate nicely when that happens. The denim is nice stuff, very mildly slubby, got a sheen to it. Construction is awesome. Cut is a bit slimmer than my SExIH07s, in a nice way.

Finally had the decision to wash forced upon me by dumpster-scum.

interesting. i've thought about making a chain for carry, but figured it'd restrict my freedom of swinging the knife around (just because). could you provide a picture of you in the jawnz and knife out? i'm interested in seeing how far you can pull it out.

no homo.

Doesn't seem like an issue at all. I'm not, uh... swinging too wide, but it reaches everything in the sphere in which I use a sharp thing. If no, unclippage is simple.

After some time without a knife due to theft, I again have something in the upper right corner of my right pocket. It feels good. (Insecurity about future loss leads to beefy lanyard attachment.)

oh yeah, i forgot you ordered a pair.

but you are so far ahead of everyone with when you placed your order.

rnrswitch's are going to be in a whole different league though.

Aho, did you order any chainstitch embroidery?

Nice! Might wash mine sometime this weekend as well. (and nice video;))

SEXIH07BK, 4 months 1 wash

*fuck JCREW echo*

MAGELLAN. yeah, discover that shit.

Al Gore, BTW, did exert a huge influence on funding the development of the internet, MUCH more so than these profiteering comedians exerting an influence on the development/being instrumental in the discovering, marketing and study of Japanese selvedge denim.

I assume aho's. Mine are a little special. Pics to come when I get mine.

Why am I being left out of this?

Trigger Pulled on pair of Roy's.

May I also suggest that at least some of this quite awesome and extensive Cone-specific fabric knowledge be moved/reposted to the cone-mills thread? You guys are in deep!

Sneak Peak of the IH-634B re-release!!!

Lando is fasssssstt and seductive.

Stumbled across this post introducing (?) denim from a UK brand called Tender. If half the things they say on their website are true, this is the most obsessively small-scale thing I've heard of short of hand-weaving the fabric. They hand-dye the fiber, hand-cast all the hardware, hand-tan the leather in tan oak juice, etc. etc.

Has anybody seen a pair of these in the wild yet? They have a guidebook which is password protected. I hate being tantalized.

Eh?

ROY Denim (Roy Slaper) make some interesting looking jeans out of Cone Denim (14 oz shrink to fit American, Cone sx/vos) and also occasionally fabricate showpieces for the company itself.

*am almost certainly pulling the trigger later this afternoon, w/ chainstitch embroidery* This guy definitely responds promptly & intelligibly to emails. No Bullshit.

He appeared on the Cone Mills blog a while back. He also made some jeans for an extinct east-bay denim boutique whose name escapes me...

Rising Sun has made at least a limited run using the White Oak denim. (If anyone's in SF and wants to check it out--> northbeach)

Oh...I thought it was free if you purchased the jeans from SE?

At the time I bought my SExIH07's, (@SESF) I was told repairs on them were free. I was told the same thing about my jacket @ SENY.....

Is it different if they're SE collabos??????? kiya?

Would love to see shots of the ankle pockets on the jeans! Love the suspender buttons (also noticed that you'll add them on to existing pants in the repair section) any plans to carry some obsessive-grade suspenders?

Warehouse from BiG : appx. $275

Warehouse from JC: $300

You really mean to tell me that it is worth $25 MORE to have a J.Crew label on there? One would think there would be a discount.

Oh, and rust stains. Sweet. I love rust stains. REAL WABI-SABI.

blech.

Sonny's Vest looks suitably badass.

X-post X-cerpt from SExIH07 thread (for rest of pics)

2.5 mo, 2 cold soaks 0 washes.

super sheen, near impossible to photograph correctly:

The selvedge is thick enough to cause a fade of its own:

Where to cop made-in-USA camo for my militia?

Seriously though, Wigwam socks are great. I got some for Christmas and they're toasty.

werd to wigwam.

regarding camo, a lot of it is US made due to provisions in the law forcing the military to buy US whenever possible. If the local surplus store is meh, ask a marine to go to the on-base store...
