Red Cloud & Co. jeans

[DhaDha]

a little update. sorry for the quality of photos. i lost my cameras and the closest thing i have to one is my iPhone. 

 

RC R400, now at 187 days (6ish months), 3 soaks and 1 hand wash. 

Colour is quite accurate.

 

 

 

 

 

right now the cotton threads are breaking in places, as to be expected, but the fabric remains very intact, no tears or holes or blowouts.

Wow, awesome fades!!

[DhaDha]

Wow, awesome fades!!

 

hey thank you! but your UES contest pair is also something man! amazingly sick fade for 6 months as well!

[bradl]

Damn, don't know how they could possibly get any better with each update, but they some how do.

[chicote]

Here are some pictures of my R400H with right around six and a half months of wear, just out of their seventh wash.

 

They're practically at the same age as DhaDha's R400 a few posts up, but our differing wash frequencies (plus the fact that he wore his a lot harder than me) created totally different wear patterns! Red Cloud's denim is one of the most user-dependent fabrics out there IMO.

That texture is incredible. Great post.

[bradl]

I totally agree chicote, mine looks quite different from users, as well as dhadha (even though his is non hemp)

[DhaDha]

mate your pair look awesome as well! for one thing, the vintage wear pattern couple with the very slubby texture of the hemp version added to an interesting fade. i'm sure in another 6 months or so we'll a very unique vintage fade. 
and yes i agree, the R400 denim is very user-dependent. all the R400 pairs I have seen so far have been very individualistic.

2nd pair of RC might be coming soon...
My waist size is 31 (79cm) and size 28 (80cm) should be just nice for me. I was thinking of don't soak it after purchase; wear it straight for the next 6 mths, then give it a cold soak.

But I might scare this idea will damage the fade...
It is a must to give it a soak b4 wear.
Does my worries stand?

Red Cloud Standard models
R400 - 47′s cut inspired, modern straight cut (the only 17oz jeans, and fabric weave is the only special one)
Size:28 - Waist 80, Inseam 89, Front Rise 26.5, Thigh 57, Leg Opening 19

Well is it sanforized? If it's unsanforized they will shrink and move your honeycombs once you soak/wash them. 

I always give my denim a 40 degree wash straight off the bat to get rid off the shrinkage.

[DhaDha]

They shrink in length. you could just wear them and sit in bathtub so when you soak them again your honeycomb would stay in the same place. 

Or go Ruedi and never wash, ever. 

[bradl]

Noooo don't do that!! Well go ahead, but you're just slaughtering the integrity of the jeans.

Why would you wait to do that?

[helanga]

Thank for the advise.

It seem like a soak will be prefered to avoid shrinkage on the fade.

By the way, how a cold soak will shrink to like for example in percentage, as mention a hot soak will shrink abt 5%.

If you're going to cold soak it, make sure that every time it touches water it's cold. But I don't get why you wouldn't just get the size that will shrink to fit and hot soak it.

I wish to but the next available size is 29 (Waist 82), can it shrink to fit my size 31 (78cm) with hot soak??

 

28 - Waist 80, Inseam 89, Front Rise 26.5, Thigh 57, Leg Opening 19

29 - Waist 82, Inseam 89, Front Rise 27, Thigh 58, Leg Opening 19.5

[DhaDha]

they stretch back after soak to about pre soak size though, so it could work. 

[bradl]

Yeah youll get 4 cm.

[helanga]

Pickup a R400, give it a 1hr hot soak (water turn bronze color instead of indigo color) & 1hr cold soak (to clear the bronze color).

R400 stand upright/firmly


Comparison between R400 & IH-HY776 (base 666 cutting). IMHO, R400 is awesome with lot of detail.


Inside out


Lastly, the Redline Selvedge for both R400 & IH-HY776

Compared RC and IH, which brand you favor more?

[helanga]

Only this R400 over IH. But this just my personal favor; might not applied to others...

 

Post soak fitting, pls pardon me for not wearing top...

oh man i'm still waiting for their 25Oz. I hope they eventually get released and are not just concept jeans. 

[UnionofArtisans]

@DhaDha

 

it is very likely the 25oz. will be available at at least 1 store in Europe soon, and probably available in Asia eventually. New collection should be out mid Nov.

[DhaDha]

awesome! thanks for the info man! now i can plan my jeans purchases accordingly. 

[UnionofArtisans]

The pricing will be reasonable, especially compared to NF 32oz for instance. That puppy set me back 500euro or so, and not top notch detailed work
