    I've been tossing around the idea of a last minute solo trip to Japan, not sure if it's the best financial decision ever but would be the trip of a lifetime...

    Honestly, you could hit up all the stores and buy a few jeans and bring them back and sell on eBay to pay for the trip.

  2. I hit up BEARS yesterday about an Eternal 811 restock, but it seems like a no and not likely. Is Eternal still around at all? Is anyone with a new 36 811 (14.5oz) they want to part with?

  3. For some reason, I have been saying "Den-eem," but now I'm saying "Den-ime," which brings up the question, what is everyone else saying? Is it just "Denim?"

    It's been a while since I've rocked some black raws, so I decided to opt for some black denim. Found this Nihon Menpu black denim with a charcoal weft that spoke to me, so I ordered some. Need to get some muslin still to practice on for obvious reasons. 

    Hell yeah!

    No need to take my advice—since it's hearsay—but I was recently talking to one of the repairers at the Nudie shop in LA about wanting to make my own jeans at some point. He used to do sewing and cutting for some big brands, and he recommended not using muslin since it's a completely different material to using denim and, more specifically, heavier denim. He recommends buying some cheap 8oz denim, practicing with that, fine-tuning your pattern from that, and then start using more pricey denim once you are confident.

    Excited to see how you go, in fact, living vicariously through you.
