sling&stones jeans

[shu-ling]

ask ilovespaz about the guys haha

[shu-ling]

no photoshop. =)

just a teaser, ill post more later after 60 wears.

[khaltire]

im interested in seeing the color of the mens veggie indigo dyed jeans.. is it a greencast like the nudie veggie? I love that color, I wish someone would offer it in a jean thats not nudie, and $550...

[shu-ling]

Sling&Stones....?? haha ask fndmybetterhalf i think he bought a pair of our veggies... maybe ill find some pics of those later too

[fndmybetterhalf]

i was debating selling them alittle while ago but decided to keep them...but these pictures dont really show the true color...

but yeah, they have a slight green tint to it...i havent looked much into the nudies veggies but these some quite a bit lighter in color than the pictures above.

heres a little color comparison. sorry about the shitty picture and the colors are still not very acurate...

left to right:

S&S veggie dye, nudie dry japan, S&S Synth dye, dior indigo, apc indigo

between the first pics above of the S&S veggies and the comparison, think somewhere in between as far as color goes.

when i get home, ill try to take some more accurate pictures.

[bapelolol]

how much are S&S jeans in seattle / who stocks them / any sales/deals on them right now?

[fndmybetterhalf]

the only stores around seattle that actively carries them right now is Bliss in fremont and David Lawrence downtown...but currently are short on stock. we're in process of putting out our second season (aiming at august-september) as well as second line of 1st season production (next month or so) so more stores should have them around Seattle. but expect a restock at David Lawrence and Bliss sometime in the next month or so. David Lawrence will be carrying the Daniels (slim fit) in veggie dye. not sure what Bliss will be carrying.

pricewise...veggie dyes will be 290-300...i'd have to double check.

or...i dont know if i can do this but let me know what size you are and i'll try to find a pair at the studio and you can drop by and try them on or something. let me know.

[shu-ling]

they're at the mens department in nordstrom for season2 as well....dang chris i needa stop by more, we switched our roles hahahaha

[shu-ling]

david lawrence at Bellevue Square too, right? i swear the models in the window were wearing them when i walked past last time

[fndmybetterhalf]

i have no idea...i havent been to bellevue in forever. but yeah i forgot, Nordstrom will be carrying the David's which are full cut straight legs in August or September or something like that.

come hang out more...im usually in my office eating and being bored

[kunk75]

[Egpt]

[kunk75]

[Egpt]

[ilovespaz]

denimbaronline.com has our men's daniels in veggie selvage, david's in sythetic selv. and a wash.. check em' out.

[kunk75]

thanks. you can see how charming everyone on here can be. (see above)

I checked out denimbar and they didn't have a 36 x32/34. any chance i could order direct? or any other suggestions as to where? thanks.

[kunk75]

just wanted to add i'm looking for the daniels specifically, though i like the others, too.

[donkaiser]

I saw the greyish veggie at Centre store in Dallas (yeah not the first place for SF type of jeans). Very cool: nice details and the denim is raw and selvage, u can really feel the top notch quality.

But I think you need to build a good fan base first : those who understand denim like superfuturians before letting stores like Nordstrom selling them. Look at TR, Seven... They were great the first couple of years but later all end up in discount cheap stores. It really depreciate the brand value. You probably may take example from SC or other japanese brands and even Nudie which only can be found in small, hip and limited stores.

Really good luck to your endeavors.

[khaltire]

the veggies look awesome, but do they only come in the slim fit? I was hoping the veggies would come in the david fit, Id be all over it

[indesertum]

I really like what you guys are doing. Keep up the good work. Is there anywhere I can look to find the measurements for the Daniels? Also, is there anywhere I can look to find the various models and washes? I tried Google, but you guys are really small. I already looked at denimbaronline, but either I'm blind or I can't find the measurements. How slim are the fits?

[fndmybetterhalf]

ill post a more accurate measurement tomorrow

Daniel:

leg opening 7.5

knee 8

rise is fairly low

inseam is 34 i think...may be wrong.

ill get the masurement up tomorrow on Davids and a much more accurate measurement on the Daniels

also, we should have all the shots of fit and washes sometime soon on our site.

Look at TR, Seven... They were great the first couple of years but later all end up in discount cheap stores.

Two things - one: this has largely to do with economics. TR went public and seven sold a 50% stake to bear sterns for some hugemungous amount of money. Investors want to see growth and growth means greater production. In retail when you produce too much of something and it doesn't sell, the end-sellers have to sell below cost in order to make room for the new stuff which they can sell as MSRP and actually make profits. Those jeans show up at discount places because of overstock, not some change in the brand identity. And for the record, I've seen plenty of the more popular (if larger) brands that are popular here at the same discount stores for the same reasons (eg: dior, tsubi, nudie).

Two - both companies still manufacture limited edition or low-distribution pieces that only go to a small number of retailers and almost always sell out and which you will pretty much never see overstock-y places like loehmanns, rack, etc.

We just put up the new Sling & Stones on our site with new photos and all..

Does anyone know what's going on with Slings&Stones' mens line? Denimbar doesn't have the mens listed anymore, and neither do any of the other online stockists listed on their webpage.

[Egpt]

i am very surprised with their new samuel model this season for man.

this is probably the best pre-washed jean i have EVER seen:

amazing

[benz5521]

I just got some sling and stones off revolveclothing.com I got the Samual selvage in natural. They are great. But I sized up one from what I wear in Nudie and Dior because somebody recomended me to and they are a little looser than what I want so I think I'm going to hot soak them.

[benz5521]

I just washed my new selvage slings (no detergent) and put them in the dryer and they turned out great. They really shrank up a good 1" or so. They legs didn't shorten up much. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

[ilovespaz]

i'm glad u like them - u should post some pictures.
