Artist Denim

[lance]

Thought I'd share Gun's update. Straight cut, #1 denim (SC40400), #1 selvage pocket material, plain back pockets, double stitched selvage coin pocket - in the making. Really fast service, just ordered a couple days ago.

14 1/2 oz selvage pocket material

and, here they are - man, that pocket material would make a nice pair of jeans

[m3guy]

I have a stupid question. I was looking over the available fabrics and couldn't find which one was the same as the sc40400 fabric. I kinda skimmed right through it though. Could someone tell me which one it is? Thanks.

40400 is #1 and 40401 is #2

Fitpics?

They are in production, Bokkepoot, I'll post when they arrive; likely in a week or two.

[M1stral]

Stupid question maybe, but would it be possible to get a pair of jeans made using the fabrics mentioned for pocket clothing. That white fabric with red selvage would be awesome for summer.

[lance]

Hey M1stral - I don't think it's a stupid question; maybe cause I was thinking the same thing:) It's Sanforized and I don't do Sanforized but when the jeans arrive, I'll take a look and let you know; or, ask Gun. Hoping it's not too heavy for pocket material - if so, it will show a constant imprint through the denim - will see.

[jlaz93]

m1stral are you asking him to make a canvas pair of jeans? im sure he would do that.

[blackmaged]

Hey Lance, how did you size on your denim? TTS or Up One?

Seems like Gun's sizing chart starts at tagged size then shrinks; his site says #1 denim is ~10% shrink, which makes a 30 go to 27?

[lance]

Hey blackmaged - I went with Gun's recommendation of sizing up 1 in the waist and 2 in length. It's a bit confusing - saying #1 and #2 will shrink up to 10% and not knowing if his posted measurements are shrink to or from posted. I have a pair of Rainbow Okis and they stretch 1 - 1 1/2 inches with wear after I wash them so I figure it will work out eventually. I'll post pre and post soak measurements when I receive the jeans in a week in two.

I'am wear size 26" ( I waist 29 )....

how often do you wear those cenaam ..

People who have been wearing these for a while:

Does the sugar cane fibers ever stop being pokey? Haha.

Just got mine in and have to wait till Saturday to do a soak, but I've gotta say, these things are pokey as hell.

Will post plenty of pictures of the jeans maybe next week.

[phive-oh-won]

the pokiness definitely goes down. I was worried about that too because mine are kind of tight and I didn't want to constantly be poked in the thighs, but it lessened pretty quickly and I don't even feel it now.

[jackandcoke]

same here, give it a few days and it will go away. I wanna take a macro shot to show off the slub/streak on the denim, it's amazing.

[nattaky]

AD lot1. wearing 6months / machine wash 1 time

[mholmeslinde]

This looks fantastic. love what you are doing, gun.

I'm working on a couple of pairs at the moment, but after that, I am sorely, sorely tempted by a pair of Straight Fit in #1 denim with custom arcs, red tab, wreath/union buttons, and a slight taper. That's like my perfect jean right there.

[blackmaged]

^You're not alone, man... just waiting for pics from lance to see how sizing up on #1 denim looks

[lance]

Hey blackmaged, two minutes ago came in from cutting the grass and received word that Gun shipped the jeans; should be here sometime this week.

[Pi-tol]

Gun does custom arcs now?

[cenaam]

how often do you wear those cenaam ..

Nearly 5 months wear

[itschrisb]

so how exactly does ordering a pair of these work? can they be 100% customized with different denim pocket bags patches rivets and buttons? Do they have just stock pairs? Company seems awesome and the jeans look great id like to get into a pair jw what the deal is.

Thanks

Now some process pics. I did a 1 hour soak at the highest temperature my shower could produce. I raised the waistline out of the water at 30 minutes to prevent overshrinkage.
