^^ Still thinkin measurements for straight cut, post soak, are perfect.

[Pi-tol]

Nah 13.5 thigh on a size 34 regular cut is perfect. When it shrinks it falls somewhere around 12.75-13.0 and it gives the wearer options. If the wearer wants at very tight fit in the thigh all they have to do is wash hot and Dry get 12.75. If they want a loose fit in the thigh just soak and get 13.0-13.25 in the thigh.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the measurements posted by Gun are pre-wash.

^ don't know, but I kinda hope so:)

edit - that is, that you're wrong haha

[justuhgeek]

I think the thighs could be a bit bigger so that they shrink to a proper size. Maybe change the 12.5-----> 13? Just my two cents.

We'll see how the sample turns out first.

Just got my swatch card in the mail, thanks a lot Gun. I feel like im one of the last to receive a swatch The denim is very interesting, I have never worn unsanforized denim, so inspecting the denim is a very new experience. The weave and weft are very irregular. It is very streaky because it is hand dyed. It is also very hairy. My biggest worry was that the denim would be too light for me and i actually really like the color.

Thanks a lot gun, can't wait for the new fits so i can buy a pair.

[lance]

Yup, I agree justuhgeek, I like the measurements shown for post soak but let's see how the sample turns out.

[Guest artistdenim]

just called Tailor, he said that sample will be out tomorrow, hope that it'll work out this time.

I'll get you guys updated when it's out and we'll see if thigh area need to be expand

btw, those measurement are raw, not post soak or pre-soak or etc, sry for my english

The straight cut reminds me a lot of DJ510xx

[wahwho11]

sooo. shrink form tagged size?

[501cult]

I think the denim looks fabulous. Only it seems really to be a bitch to fade.....

i think the denim, price point and his passion for his product are the selling points to be honest. (in no particular order) i definitely like his slim cut, but it's a little behind the other strengths of his brand imho

thank you Shiro, how are you man?

yes

come on man, not that hard;)

I see my tailor and see the sample pair today,

Good news is that the measurement on regular cut is exactly like this, except I expand the thigh to 13.5"

and expand the thigh of straight cut to 13"

bad news is that he somehow make the bottom hem to 9"

and the bottom hem for straight cut is 8"

So I asked him to redo the sample again, he said it'll finish on 30th.

and he has prepare all the workspace, after sample pair is out, everything will be ready, straight and regular cut will be available around by 15-30th next months

so final measurement will be like this

[lance]

Perfect, Gun, look forward to ordering a pair of straight cut

[Eels]

I'm not going to lie.

This is a really beautiful project you have going.

You have my full support and probably my patronage when I come around to getting another pair.

[justuhgeek]

yes

Hey Gun, I just wanted some clarification as to the actual measurements for the straight cut. Above you said that you'd change the bottom hem to 8", then on the official measurements, you posted 8.5". Maybe a typo? :confused:Anyway, I think an 8" hem on the straight cut would defy the definition of a straight cut. That would be a very tapered pair of jeans. May I suggest keeping the hem as 8.25" -8.5" if you are planning on changing the cut at all? I think the 8.5" hem was pretty accurate. If I'm not mistaken, this particular denim shrinks a large amount as well, so an 8" hem will shrink to ~7.75" which is definitely not textbook for a straight cut.

Great move on the thigh measurement...

Keep up the good work!

[DoitsuJin]

Gun, doing well my man. Just wishing I had more time to wear denim...

By the way, do you plan on doing other things or is the focus on jeans for now?

[Pi-tol]

Yes my man, you got it right! Both cuts will be awesome. Also I 2nd on keeping the hem on the straight cut at 8.5

[Guest artistdenim]

yes it will be 8.5 and 9.5

tailor is now fixing the pattern.

and shiro, I plan on doing denim jacket afterward, will use nihon menpu hand dye green selvedge, 40401, Hawaii denim, check my blog artistdenim.wordpress.com I have pics of the actual denim there:)

I dont know if any of you guys are keeping up with roy denim, but i love the concept of roy because he uses all vintage machines. I am loving artist denim more and more now that i see all the vintage machines that are in use, cant wait for the straight cut.

[ranonranonarat]
