did u hem em? or just let em stack?

[TheNorthern]

no hem, i have fit pictures on this thread someplace . . .

but that is before they settled.

[TheNorthern]

may we discuss more in depth about the nuts and bolts that make up somét ?

it seems to me this thread lacks in details.

what is the history of somét ?

what designer(s) are behind the name ?

information about the materials used ?

just the smaller things that make somét unique.

[bjornlg]

yeah i have no clue either..

anyone??

[stagename]

they gave me a sheet with most of those infos when i bought a pair, ill try to look it up.

from what i remember, they're trying as much as possible to create a new look with the old denim tradition. their jeans have gold plated rivet. SOMET means “to dye” in Japanese. They consider garments "functional tools".

I'll edit this post when I find my sheet.

haha yea i love my achilles too.. the leather is super comfy!

but mine arent pristine white anymore. =(

[TheNorthern]

i've hit the one month mark. i can't say i've been wearing these hard . . .

but in due time.

[bjornlg]

nice post Northern... can tell u really love em.

man urs are fading so fast! especially the wallet fade! i'm guessing your wallet's real fat and chunky?? my wallet's pretty thin and its not giving my somets a nice even fade like urs.

keep thrashing em and the front will fade in no time!

Nice fit Northern. Do you guys know any other brands that has jeans with the same type of fit?

[TheNorthern]

@bjornlg ~it's easy to get fades on the back of your jeans when you are a college student.

you're ass is always sitting in a desk.

@yellow-olive ~thanks. um, i'd like to say nudie jeans has a similar fit with the tube kelly cut.

[yellow-olive]

Not really a N&F fan, I was looking into the BiGxPBJ xx-013 size 27. Since I am a size 26 for somet.

[bjornlg]

@northern- cool which college do u go to? do u rotate ur pair or do u just concentrate on the somets for now?

@yellow-olive: i'm looking at the xx-013s and the xx-011s too.. i've asked around a fair bit in the pbj community and most of the ppl there recommend the 11s... so i'm pretty much set on getting that soon. Yourself??

[TheNorthern]

i go to a UMaine school . . . for the first month of school i thrashed my new cures every day. then i purchased some 008s from big. i have worn them close to daily. it has been raining like crazy of late, so only then i'd wear my nc or my 505s.

i believe it's the address in this header: http://www.somet.jp/images/somet_title.png

if u ever go, i passed a few time in front of the place before realizing it was actually it. there's a front entrance and a back one. there was a stuffed bear in a round window in the back entrance. it's easier to see u're there if you enter by the front. I think it doubles as their offices as well. there's a picture of the store somewhere on this thread.
