Haha, welcome to Melbourne

The weather isn't all that nice at the moment - October or early November is a better time to visit!

[Guest artistdenim]

I am back in Thailand now, straight cut and regular cut won't be out yet, tailor said that I am too picky, they don't want to work for me anymore, stupid stuff.

anyway, I will meet with another tailor soon.

if anybody would like to make a purchase or need a swatch card, please feel free to ask, I hope that I can serve all of you;)

Tag 32.

Pre wash fit pics.

Tonnes of space in the waist

>

Slightly altered acruates (I went for the SelfEdge style).

Delicious green water (which turned blue after a emptied it).

Pre wash measurements.

waist: 90cm

thigh: 31.5

front rise: 25

back rise: 37.5

knee (33cm down form crotch): 21.5

hem: 19

Measurements post 3 hour hot soak and hot was with 1 hour in the dryer.

waist: 86cm

thigh: 30

front rise: 24

back rise: 36.5

knee (33cm down form crotch): 20

hem: 18

Fit pics after 1 week of wear (decreased contrast and increased brightness so you can see the fit). I wish the waist measurement was 1 inch smaller, but everything else is spot on.

The denim on these is simply amazing! It's much more irregular than PBJ, but not as slubby. It has a wonderful colour, like no denim I have ever seen before! Those scared off by the thigh measurements should be settled by what I've posted above, and hence shouldn't um and ah any longer! Cop cop cop!

swatch card shipped, hand delivered jean today

[Guest artistdenim]

There has been many complaint about arcuate stitching so I tried remove them backward from a sample pair.

Now I can undone them for you with little trace behind, you may still see a little bit of it but it won't be notify if you aren't looking closely.

I will get a fit pics tomorrow without the arcuate, it will give a better idea what it will look like.

this service will be offered as well, I will be really pleased to help with anything I can

p.s. Sorry for blurry pictures, it's 3.30 in here, I can't get the accurate light exposure

[jackandcoke]

Got mine on Monday. Thanks Gun!

Slightly altered acruates (I went for the SelfEdge style).

what i'm thinking about doing to mines

[Guest artistdenim]

I see that you'd made up your mind

They could arrived at any time by now Binh

as I said before, if any of you don't like the arcs, I can remove them for you with leaving little trace behind, here's example of one

[Guest artistdenim]

nice fit pic Gun

[501cult]

Hey guys...I'm back and just checked on all the latest posts.

I can understand the arcuate discussion, but don't like the altered versions much. No back pocket stitching robs the jeans of an integral part of their identity, there are so many brands who already do that.

The altered versions, with 50% removed in two "modes"-well, for those who prefer it, why not. I'll keep mine in the way they were made for sure.

Still absolutely love the fit on Aong_sk. I propose he should get a prize for the best fit, unless something really "big" happens in the further course of events. Alzheimirays fit is nice as well.

And these jeans are a bitch to fade, no?

[Guest artistdenim]

they fade darder In my opinion but not ridiculous , here is a more than three months + 1 handwash warm, the indigo hold nicely, color doesn't drop after wash

[lance]

Gun - Nice fit, evo and great denim.

[Guest artistdenim]

thank you lance!

here's what I did today

I got a called a few days ago about a sewing machine that I want, The store found what I'm looking for.

I've seen a lot of new thing today, I brought my camera with me figuring that I should share this exciting experience with all of you!

First thing that I saw when I went in store is a really hugh union machine, about 80cm tall I think, use for leather.

I asked for the machine that I want, they said that I'd need a drive to pick it up so I keep looking around asking miserable newbie question

the seller got bored of me for keep asking so he showed me "pegasus" serge machine L32-86, 5 stitch only for jean, still in a very nice condition, this is in my wishlist

and I asked for a single stitch machine, asking him another newbie question whether I should use the old singer machine or what other machine shall I use so he showed me this Juki machine, hmmmm.

It's late and It's hot so we better pick up my future machine

on the way to his car I saw cross-stitch machines, lots of them

[Guest artistdenim]

So I'm arrived, look around and asking more newbie question

and I saw this Juki machine, serge I think? there were so many, I kind of forget which is which

and really old Union machine, totally forgot what they do, shame on me

I keep looking around, being miserable and I found this Durkopp machine, so beautiful, I think I fall in love.

And here come my machine, Union special 43200, chain stitch machine, logo has been a little bit off, original color, original part, work like tank.

the seller at first said to me that he wouldn't sell it, they are in a really good contain, he want to collect it but I give him an offer he can't refuse, most of you know what i just did right? if not, I gave him my best offer ;D

there is a sewing machine fixer in Thailand name Tee said that "This union machine is a really old american sewing machine that used to sew American military cloth the time that they fight Nazi solider" he also said this machine is use on "Batman" while Piper sewing catwoman suit. He also said that this machine is first import in Thailand to sew chain-stitch in Wranger jean.

I give credit "Mr.Tee-chopchop", thank you sir

seller is attaching it to a sewing table, there aren't many pictures on this because I was so exciting and asking lots and lots of question.

Sewing was hard as first but after a few tried, I think I'd be fine with it, chugging thread is really hard though.

The paddle is left legged user, I swap them right legged user.

the seller of this machine and his friend also sad that there are many Japanese buyer are looking for this machine.

so I decided to take this, they will double check on the machine.

[Guest artistdenim]

before I got home I asked them to try Juki single stitch machine, these are really nice, I might pick it up later.

so the machine will arrive to my house tomorrow morning, I'll keep you guys updated!

[lance]

^^ Great post, Gun. Are you going to start cutting and sewing your jeans and cut out the tailor? Good move if so and good luck.

[jackandcoke]

been waiting 2 weeks for this things and it finally got here.. the slubbiness is amazing and the construction is superb, loving the thick leather patch to! will post fit pics when it's dry

[501cult]

I took my artists (which is what I call these jeans by now) to Lake Como

in Northern Italy, which I simply find one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places.

The first two pics show me -and the jeans- gazing at the lake, and since you can't see much of it, the third shows you the scenery. The last one gives you the church on a mountain that I climbed up to, not a daring alpinist expedition, but no simple stroll either. Sadly, the view from up there was no good when I finally made it (all haze and mist)- can always happen to you in the mountains.

Gun, please what is a "noob" question? You keep using this term-is it some slang I've missed to pick up, is it -perhaps- a persistent typo?
