I think you'll really understand what it means when you get to feel denims like BS United Oni or Pure Blue in person.

Basically upon close inspection of the denim - it has a texture like unevenness to it showing its thick .

I wasn't sure what this really meant either, until I saw and felt some of the denim at Blue In Green in Soho.

The hand of slubby denim is like a rich, thick potato sack, but stiffer and less itchy. Those definitions you read do it no justice.

rough like sandpaper, but not actually as rough as sandpaper...you get the idea.

pure blues

shit...

[mizanation]

i have to say, the pure blues have the slubbiest denim i've ever seen. i know people compare it to the SC okinawas or hawaiis but pure blues are much slubbier. also it is even slubbier than the bs united oni.

is there a slubbier denim out there?

Maybe not slubbier but certainly as slubby

May well be the case but it's good to bear in mind that the denim you see there for the PB's is denim in one wash state while the Samurai pic is the denim in totally raw state. The laundering process accentuates the bobbliness of the denim so I guess I;d have to wash the Samurais before I could do a proper comparison with the PBJ A1-001's.

[PG2G]

Those Samurai are awesome

[Chicken]

i don't know, miz. gordon at blue in green was saying he thinks oni and pb are equally slubby. it's just that pbs come one washed already, nice and shrunken and tight, where the onis are still raw and unshrunk. i need to compare a washed oni and a pb side by side.

[Chicken]

oh, and some of those samurais too.

[john11f]

Chicken, ai-001s are slubbier than the onis. i was wearing mine when i tried on the pbjs. if these samurais were available, they may very well be better than the pbjs. just awesome! lucky few that got them.

[Chicken]

just to check, did you already hot wash your oni and shrink dry it? if so, it's a vital info for me. thanks.

whatsup chicken, i think we covered this in the jomon vs. ai-001 thread, but i think the consensus is that the ai-001 are slubbier than the oni.

funny, gordon and i were talking about ai-001 and the oni and we both agreed that the ai-001 is a little more slubbier, despite oni's extreme weaving methods.

i doubt washing the onis will make it slubbier than the pb's. i will probably eventually get both so i can do a comparison.

[Chicken]

hmmm. you're probably right but i'd also love to see you get them both and compare. also for the long-run sake. hehe. the mad-scientist in me is excited!
