Denimasa Jeans

[alsonthj]

Bought my first Denimasa Jeans few months back, and I've been enjoying them.

Since the previous thread has been locked, thought I can share my pair with the community here as well. Those who have purchased their Denimasa Jeans can also share their fit and opinions as well. So yeah, lets get this thread going!!!

Cabriolet in Size 28

Ordered and the parcel came in just 3 days later.

Cant post more than 10 pictures, hence I will just post up the pre and post soak fit pictures!

Pre soak pictures!

Post soak

Fit is alittle tight, hoping for it to stretch out and settle down.

Cant wait to see the fading of this pair.

Once again, thanks bob for the service and jeans!

[Conundrum]

Quite the amount shrinkage in the Length...

[alsonthj]

Sorry, it was not stated but I did altered the length. However, it shrank 2 inches in length.

[Kwaker]

it doesn't look tight to me ... nice fit

[gariskeras]

nice fit man, here's some pic Bob Lorr himself posted at darahkubiru.com (indonesian denim forum)

this is what he stated:

14.5 oz , initial cold-soak + gently agitation, hang dry under sun light and under shade over night.

so crisp !!!

[HGS]

The fit looks good. The evo pics in the original thread were insane but didn't really represent typical wear. Keep us posted.

[alsonthj]

Thanks guys! Cant wait for it to start fading and see the fading results!

[swiss-jeansfreak]

And I'm very happy that the first Denimasa pants have just reached the Jeansmuseum of heaviest fadings in Zurich, Switzerland.

Thanks a lot Bob for those great pants.

I hope to display some strong faded Denimasa pants in the Museum some time ahead like many other well loved and retired raw denim projects who have found this safe place to survive for ever here:

And no worries Bob, I'll stay raw for sure,.....:

Thanks a lot Ruedi and Alson for a great pics

Hope to see more Ruedi style rockin around

[swiss-jeansfreak]

It's just a shame, that all those fading evolution on all denim projects are taking such a long time.

In fact I love the slow fading but my raw denim life should last about 10'000 years or more.

I need at least 2-3 years to burn down one pair of jeans and about 3-5 years for a denim jacket.

But soon I'll switch to my next denim project and I'll downgrade one of my current outdoor pants (Denime or Nudie) as my new work pants

These are my favorite evo on the web.....the number one reason why I've started starting raw and never washing!

[jonmhenderson]

Hey Reudi, which pair is next?

[denimasa]

Hello Ruedi, how are you doin my friend. Combs'space one the Denime see to have a bit bigger and wider tan Nudie's and surely more beautiful... Is that because knee on Denime is wider and have more space.

^^^ jonmhenderson, not sure about next one, but the one after next will be DENIMASA, right Ruedi? haha.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

^^Hey John

I'll tend to downgrade my Nudie pants since they seem to be in poorer condition alreday. They'll probably not last a long time so the Denime pants will follow soon.

^Denimasa

Yeah the Denime pants are wider, so that's why you get bigger combs. The combs on the Nudies are probably my smallest combs I receive since I usually don't wear slimmer pants and I don't like it too thight.

You can compare with my 23 oz Strike Gold office pants, where you can already recognise the first fadings on them and see the size of the honey combs

Ohh sorry for spoiling this thread, it's about Denimas here!!!

[jonmhenderson]

Your fadings don't spoil any threads! Always a treat regardless of brand!

[swiss-jeansfreak]

^Thanks mate

I really hope I can show you some stuff at my place whenever you are able to visit Switzerland

Stay raw

[jonmhenderson]

Me too! Hope to make it to Europe someday!

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Great, you would be always welcome

[denimasa]

After waiting for a long time to arrange a meeting with the denim mill in Japan to visit a spinning division to see how the denim fabric of DENIMASA processed from the start, which process an organic cotton that growing in Japan, and also imported some African cotton, that will be used in some of DENIMASA collection.

Too bad no pics inside and around the mill.

Just a pics of fresh harvested cotton bolls, really wish you guys can smell the fresh raw cotton bolls...hope one day camera can record the smell as well.

There are few species of Japanese cotton that used in making denim, but the most popular, categorize by color, are bright beige color (most general one) and light brown color. Both are medium staple cotton fiber types, as a characteristic of the Jap cotton.

As an organic 100% non-chemical open air farm, there are some small insect's eggs but not a problem... cute anyway, :

Big one

Cute mini one

This one as a gift for me ;D

Actually not suppose to pick it off, still green and not ready to harvest, but for a set of pics so there is an exception for me

Show the process of how cotton boll grown up :
