SUPERDENIM ENCYCLOPEDIA (Read me before posting a new thread)

let's make a dictionary with technical terms. there are many on Japanese sites and denim mill's sites with hundreds of terms. we should have our own here in English, in a separate thread but linked here. my English is not perfect so I think I shouldn't make it myself. I will post some links to existing dictionaries:

http://home1.inet.tele.dk/bcm/glossary.htm

http://denim-gallery.heavy.jp/denim-words/

http://jeanslabo.s33.xrea.com/

http://www.samurai-j.com/samurai/denim_dic.html

http://www.fabriclink.com/dictionary.html

http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=9640

I feel the Styleforum's Denim Terminology and Links topic is VERY incomplete, especially for people who already know a thing or two about denim. So I think we should make our own glossary.

Here is a list of terms:

http://wornjeans.atspace.us/glossary.html

I selected important words from those sites and made some descriptions myself. Please work on the descriptions, they are poorly written and incomplete. Add more words if you have any, and delete what you find unimportant. Should it be made in a new thread linked to this one? Maybe other people could also add to the descriptions?

has anyone seen REAL JEANS before?

sick JAPANESE site with denim color falling reports, and aging reports on WHITE's boots, and buzz rickson jackets.

don't know how i missed this.

You can get A.C.N.E. and Cheap Monday ($65!) at Seven New York along with a slew of other designer threads. I'm actually in search of a pair of Cheap Mondays for myself, and the owner of the store told me there will be more pairs up for sale by this weekend.

tweeds · September 4, 2006

added some, clean up some, and created a list of stores who have a regular presence on the boards. sam113 from context clothing, mauro from the denimbar, glamroots (HTC). support the little guys, hit them up! okay not that HTC is little but...

if there are any other stores i missed out feel free to post them! regular guys only please.

ALERT! the 45rpm denim repair link is broken since www.45rpm.jp updated their site: http://www.45rpm.jp/denim/detail.jsp?id=011

anyone have a web archive?

that link is heavily quoted here, and it is a shame that it seems to have vanished

HELP!!!

tweeds · October 7, 2006

deleted extraneous posts...hope this cleans up the thread a bit. keep posting suggested updates here though!

i can't seem to send a mail to 45rpm! their online mailer isn't working...

TaylorMADE · October 9, 2006

are the threads about left weave vs. right weave still available?? I think those deserve a link...

tweeds · October 10, 2006

Taylor, could you give me an idea of what that thread said? i'm not sure which one you're talking about, i might have missed something in my initial search. if you manage to find it please post it up

there's actually a discussion of LHT, RHT, and their respective properties in the two Selvedge threads. let me go take a look...

denimdestroyedmylife · November 13, 2006

ringring's technique resembles the 45rpm style of patching

hope this helps!

I believe this website has been mentioned before but I didn't see it listed above: http://olah.com

Great site with loads of details on indigo, cotton, history of denim, and there's even a decent denim dictionary. I think it's great for newbies like me! :cool:

Tarmac · January 19, 2007

were there any old threads about hot water soak vs cold water soak?

tweeds · January 20, 2007

encyclopaedia is due for a little brush-up...

mr fluffernutter · January 20, 2007

I'm having trouble finding info on left-hand twill vs. right-hand twill. It's pissing me off because I know it's in here.

This has helped me well but it could use a brushup

tweeds · May 2, 2007

a lightning surge frying the socks of my usual computer has delayed its completion. but it will be done.

LaiShin · May 10, 2007

This site is awesome: http://rawselvedge.com/ I don't think it's in the encylopedia...

btw, SDA-003's link is down

Denimlover · June 29, 2007
