vintage deadstock cone redline fabric bitches. someone here buy this.

[damnIam]

I saw that earlier and even though I cannot sew beyond minor hemming and repair jobs I am strangely drawn to the idea of owning this bolt of cloth, although I have no absolutely no idea what I would do with it. I won't bid though because hopefully someone here will buy it and make some nice jeans. I will interested to see what price it will fetch.

[sybaritical]

I know what you're saying Damnlam. But even if I thought I could do it justice, they're not shipping outside of the US.

[PunctualAlex]

There's enough in that auction for more than one pair. If anyone wants to go in on this and split it up a few ways, that might be worth considering.

Anyway, I'll be watching this too...

[tweeds]

[Tisswat]

[Astérix]

I posted that in the Good Buys thread...the guy is selling all 3 rolls. Somebody should make some DH 19cm repros from those

[sneakeraddict]

Yeah I really need someone on here to buy that and make me some jeans.

[Chicken]

Someone wake up andewhall and mizanation..

poor guys, they're probably hoping this auction won't blow up.

[cheapmuthafukr]

hes got 3 bolts of fabric for sale... 2 redline and one white selvage. all look nice......

[pacioli]

I think the seller talked about this on the other SF.

[6MT]

the price he is selling is super cheap..consider it is "original" that means it's been aged to perfection

[Seething Tortoise]

I want some

[keri]

If ou can't sew, you could always use it to make selvadge curtains. Now that would be interesting!

[Chicken]

please don't.

[mizanation]

well, i can already get good selvage denim from cone.

also, if i want to get "old" denim, cone has a selvage that is reproduction of aged denim. it looks like it's been sitting in a fabric store for 20 years, just like the stuff on ebay.

[pacioli]

if I could get documentation of the age on these bolts of denim I would put them in a display case in my house. Not make jeans.

[404]

No one is doubting its authenticity? I will buy it if it's real, I can't sew, but I'm sure I can find some top tailors here in London.

You guys love blowing up auctions dont you how lame .

I already offered him $200 for a bolt - hope you guys are ready to spend ..

[tweeds]

numero uno throws down the gauntlet.

[__3xL]

damn skippy .

$200 was a semi-lowball offer too imho - I figured he might accept though

[greentea]

ill take that 200 and ill raise.

[__3xL]

^^ exactly ..

:-(

[steven]

thanks for blowing up my auction

[red]

superfuture should buy and make superfuture denim. to match the superfuture shirts that WILL be coming out of course.

[mizanation]

imho, this fabric is not worth it, but hey, to each his own.

[pacioli]

don't cut it up

save the selvedge

I'm starting a fund you CAN make a difference

[dirtbucket]

Well, we here at an undisclosed location have identified this fabric to be from the 90's. It is an LVC selvage fabric. We have notified the the seller and told him that the fabric is from the 1990's. Just wanted to let everyone on this thread to know! Thanks!

[tweeds]

interesting. where is this "undisclosed location"? what are the features that have allowed you to timestamp the rolls of denim as such?
