Cloak selvege

[shinobi2000]

I remember reading a while ago last year that Cloak had some hot selvege pieces and that they flew off the shelf before anyone got to see them. Well this season's versions are in their store now. I tried on a couple, I just couldn't get it to fit right. I'm also wondering if they are significantly different from last season's. ANyone see last season's?

I'd be interested in pictures if anyone can find any, I love cloaks stuff and I'd be interested to see there jeans.

I'd like to see some pics too, they're over $300 though, I remember an associate telling me ... $380 maybe?

These are the skinny selvedge denim. It's charcoal with subtle vertical stripes. Another variation of this is just flat black denim. The flat black has a bit of a slight wax feel to it and what I wanted, but unfortunately only had 30 waist as the smallest. The charcoal style, eventhough had the coolest details in the backpocket and waist finish, just didn't go with my other wardrobes. The 28 waist is super tight but a few minutes walking around the store I managed to close the buttons and fits great like no other!

the stripes, imo are unnecessary, but ill take those boots anyday

yeah, i wish they hadn't striped these up. the s/s06 selvage jeans are much stiffer, and i like the back pocket rivets - missing from these - and the ash wash was

a bit less decorative. I like the charcoal-striped ones in the store now better than the lighter grey ones. to the original poster, though, i see the s/s 06 selvages on eBay pretty often. they cost me 390 when they came out. they're obvs less on eBay, although still not what you'd call cheap!

matter of fact:

I think the stripes are amazing.. I've always wanted a quality pant with a denim sort of weight and feel to it. I imagine this is a hard thing to do properly and I gotta go and check these out.

[shinobi2000]

i'll go back to the store today to check but I could have sworn there were grey ones without the stripes, maybe I just didn't notice the stripes in the dark lighting. Has anyone tried it on though? I'd be curious to know who's fitting into these jeans. And yes they are $390.

[shinobi2000]

Doesn't look like too many people are interested but just in case, here is my Cloak report:

There are 4, yes count em 4 variations available, and all are selvage. There's a black and a grey version, then two striped versions one in a charcoal and one in a lighter grey. They are either red or blue lined selvage. The striped versions don't even feel like denim, almost just like regular pants. The guy working there called the black and grey ones "raw japanese selvage" although nothing about them felt raw. They are so tight you can feel your feet begging you to return the circulation to them. The guy working there saw my interest in them and felt he needed to promote the upcoming spring season. Apparently they are making more of them in multiple colors ala Julien Red. They were all $390. I wish I had more money to spend, their jackets were pretty hot.

Did Earnest Sewn make some of the Cloak Fall 06 Stuff?

[flatblack]

I've got the dark gray in 29s i believe. Amazing fit. Sick with boots. Got'em at U&I in Montreal for 1/2 price. One of my best finds ever...try to get picks up soon.

anyone with the current fall season jeans? i usually wear a 31-32 and was wondering if a size 34 in the slim fit jeans is too big. i know that they run slim, and some places suggest to size up, and a 32 may be too tight and unforgiving. too bad they don't do fucking odd sizes!

[ddohnggo]

anyone??????????

[startmeup]

they are slim fitting but i stayed true to size and it was fine.

[ruach]

I just got a pair in the mail and I too just got my normal waist size (28). If anything, the thighs could still be a bit more slim since they're a little baggy now. I still love the fit, though.

[ddohnggo]

ah, ok. looks like i should get a 32 or maybe a 30. tyler, where did you get your jeans from? the cloak store in nyc?

[masuerte]

Just purchased the last one from Barneys! They're officially sold out in Beverly Hills at least.

It seemed that the Cloak store was sold out of 28.

By the way, here are pictures. The yoke is really long in the back so the pockets end up being very low. I love it. I've been trying to take a good picture of them being worn but I've been failing. I'll hold out until I can get someone else to take a picture.

[ddohnggo]

awesome. looks like a pretty high rise?

[masuerte]

It's not bad... kinda low on me, it's just that the back is a tad higher which I don't mind because crack is wack!

[ruach]

It is a pretty low rise. The length of the zipper makes the rise look rather receiving. I don't know, with that, though, how it magically comes to be a low rise..
