Red Cloud & Co. jeans


Hsin

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone on superfuture!!

I would like to introduce a pair of reproduction standard jeans from China.

Red Cloud & Co. R423xx

This is made by a jeansmith located in the city of Shenyang, China.

It's 100% Chinese long-staple cotton selvage denim, with the last dip of the dyeing process using natural indigo. The findings and threads are from Japan, because the Chinese ones couldn't satisfy his standard of quality.

Check out how thick the selvage is!!!

its not about the cut... its about passion for repro and wanting to create your own. Since there is not much coming out of mainland china (as far as im aware) its great to see a startup in that area. A cut is just a cut

Where do they sell this brand in Shanghai?

I'm not sure whether he is doing retail in Shanghai. He is busy starting to open a retail store in Shenyang right now.

I just introduced the brand to AB Fits in San Francisco.
