Oldblue 21oz

[yax]

so we just got an order (or should we say a challange haha) from a fellow oldblue to make him a special pair of jeans for his birthday. okay so we went the extra miles, as always. 

 

lets these details do the talking.

 

 

~

 

14 ounces sanforized indigo selvedge denim from cone mills USA for the fabric

 

personalized flasher

 

hand stamped with his date of birth

 

hand typed birthday remark

 

manual embroidered pocket bag

 

using selvedge brown duck from cone mills USA

 

hidden oldblue's signature 'big e' red tab

 

hand felled belt loop

 

oldblue's old arcuate as he requested

 

 

[yax]

(cont'd)

 

black laurel leaf button 

 

a new way (our should we say the older way) in fly construction

 

ready to be shipped!

 

~

 

so what really special about this MTO jeans, aside of all of those personalized stuff, is that it's made with no overlock stitch at all. it's my personal lifelong dream to make a super clean jeans construction inside and out. and one way to achieve that kind of jeans is with having no overlock stitch at all. and to add the satisfying feeling, it's done in our own-developed workshop.

 

 

 

 

 

cheers.

Hey yax, I was wondering if you could shed some more light on that denim that you are using for the type 4 lht workshirt. Do you have any samples on how it would fade? Also could you provide some pictures of the back of the shirt, I noticed you didn't have any of your website.

Thanks a lot!

[yax]

It's getting a little too hot for my Type 1 work shirt. Any word on a restock date for the Type V?

[greathoudini]

My oldblue co heavyweights made it through hwdc2. I'll shoot soms updates soon and post them here.

They made a long journey but they can probably have a lot more weartime before they have to retire.

They just announced they'll be releasing a new (Indonesian) fabric in 25oz!

I'm pretty excited about those and makes me tempted to break my promise of not buying new jeans!

[FLDenim211]

your jeans looked great Houdini

[greathoudini]

Thanks! I'm super busy at work ATM and have to work extra shifts so I hope I can post some final updates for hwdc2 before the deadline

[greathoudini]

The oldblue site is back up and they have a sale going on.

With backtolife66 as coupon code you get another 10% off.

Their jacket is 50% off that way, too bad my size is out of stock

[comicto]

anyone know how much stretching the type 2 work pants will have?

[greathoudini]

I'm not sure, never handled that fabric before. You can mail them, they where very helpfull with my sizing questions about the 21/23oz as well so I guess they can help you out.

[kevincep]

the 21z ed.

[greathoudini]

They look great, how much wear?

[kevincep]

^^

approx 11 months with 3 soak

[KPJ]

Does anyone know when the 25oz denim will be available for the public?

[greathoudini]

I didn't find a release date yet. But they should be cool. They uploaded a new picture on their instagram today showing the special leather patch, pretty cool imo

Does anyone know if the stitching they use is 100% cotton, or a poly cotton blend? I want to get the 25oz when it comes out, but I am kind of tired of weak 100% cotton stitching

[greathoudini]

They have a mixed thread with polyester and cotton, it looks cotton but has the durability of polyester. However afaik it's only been a made to order option. So best chance is to mail them if it's possible to use the polycotton I think.

[KPJ]

@greathoudini, so if I understand you correctly, they only offer polycotton thread if you get a made-to-order pair/you choose this option upon ordering?

[FLDenim211]

21/23 oz is the stiffest and meanest jean I have handled to date. Anyone know how long it takes for them to have some give?

[greathoudini]

Mine could still stand on their own after they touched water with more than a year wear. After 2 years they're still a bit stiff

@KPJ: I think so
