Cool.

Thanks

[smartamsterdam]

Ringring, if you feel the need for this jeans I can hook you up with a store overhere, I'm not sure if these jeans is avaible worldwide. But I know the guy behind it, he owns several stores in Amsterdam and The Hague!

Those jeans look great. Any idea if I can get them in Paris?

[smartamsterdam]

Probably, I'm not sure but in Amsterdam for sure, the pockets are made of French tableplaid. Only jeansbrand in the world with the 14 ounch Japanese denim. Heavy shit, so no machinewash for this one, for 2005 they will introduce camouflage in the pockets.

Ehw, not liking the camo. The tableplaid rocks though.

I want a pair

Hey Smartamsterdam,

Thanks for the kind offer, hopefully I'll get a look at them next time I'm in London (Duffer sold them).

What and where are the shops in 'Dam? I'd like to drop by sometime this year.

BTW, 14oz is a pretty standard weight for denim, it's not that heavy. (incidentally on the site, it claims they use 11oz).

Apparently, Denime make a whopping 19oz denim! It's a kind of holy grail for some denim lovers that I know.

[Alber]

Any online stores do them ???

[smartamsterdam]

14oz is not standard based on Japanese denim, it's the only jeansbrand I know who has it in his collection, only a view shops sell them, Spoiled is one!

MHI have some 14oz Japanese denim on sale right now.

I realise the trend is for lighter denim. (eg this link:http://www.45rpm.jp/denim/detail.jsp?id=005 ). In fact, the denim mills have moved to producing lighter fabrics just to make something different to the 14oz denims they had been churning out for years. If you read this link [url=" http://www.45rpm.jp/denim/detail.jsp?id=004"] <a href="http://www.45rpm.jp/denim/detail.jsp?id=004" target="_blank">http://www.45rpm.jp/denim/detail.jsp?id=004</a> you'll see 45rpm referring to 14oz denim as 'conventional'.

14oz was the standard jeans weight for denim for many years, (standard Levis 501 weight) so that's what I meant by being 'not that heavy' - not in particular reference to Japanese denim, but to denim in general.

I'd like to apologise if I came across picky.

I don't understand this light denim. I love heavy denim.

The repair kit you get with each pair is super cool. I almost bought a pair, just to get the kit! (very nicely made jeans BTW).

[youngogbg]

Get your 19oz denim from Kaihara.

They also do a 21oz denim!!

[youngogbg]

thanx ringring but i looked at that website and i didnt see that you can buy these jeans on there. I need to find a website who will do overseas order or if someone can get me a pair i would pay retail and a fee for services. thank you

[peteyross]

You can buy a pair of Kaihara Levis from Oki-ni (www.oki-ni.com).

[ringring]

Petey is correct. However, I'd avoid the Oki-Ni Kaihara Levis if it's referring to the pair which features the pleated yoke. They're terrible in the flesh.

The Atelier La Durance jeans are a lot better, (as are the Levis Vintage's for that matter).

[justaname]

so there's no website that carries these jeans? they look really nice, i would like to get a pair but i don't live in europe....

so any site that sell these?

?

[smartamsterdam]

[macmxbmw]

Would order some pairs but the limited sizing doesn't cut it. Damn...

They should make some other sizes as well....

[smartamsterdam]

The average price retail in The Netherlands is 200 euro's that's really sharp if you compare it with the prices of regular Diesel, G-star, ... denim. I'am glad there not cheaper so they stay exclusive ;-)
