hey Capsicum, I just seen the pics this morning at 8.30 AM, and went to bed at 3.30 AM. Didn't notice the fabric at first, then realized there's been a massive misunderstanding with Inoue re pocket fabric, just after posting the pics here! Whitey!!! He thought I was asking to have the back pockets made of indigo duck, didn't realize I meant the front pocket bags AHAHA!

thank God we realized this now, when only the first 4 pairs were made, he'll fix everything, no sweat!

yeah, the indigo duck canvas should be used for the front pocket bags instead of normal white fabric, not the back pocket. hopefully we fix them.

and again, thanks for your work volvo

great job with the eagle eye!

[Paul T]

Haha!

I'm very interested in that fabric as it looks identical to the indigo duck that Cone developed about a decade ago. I have a huge roll of it, it's so wonderful that I can't quite decide what to do with it. It wears fantastically, especially if you don't wash at all (T Jr has a pencil case made of it that looks amazing).

But it bleeds like the ultimate, unthinkable bastard. It would undoubtedly stain everything you're near. i have a rough memory that when Levi's used the material for pants, they were only allowed to do so with a resin coating, as the technical spec for bleed is so lousy the lawyers told them they might get sued for damage to furniture!

By the way, those arcs are drop dead gorgeous.

When do we think they'll be finished? I"m off to an indigo farm on 18 Sept, would be a great debut journey...

[Cucoo]

Duck pockets would have been interesting, but still glad you cached it in time

[MileHighEvertonian]

phew! good catch! let's save TCB's SDA-style "triple crazy jeans" contest for another time. 

[not too tight]

I'm all paid up! Sorry for the delay everyone, August was a rough month for me, I was not working for a few weeks and wasn't sure I'd be able to still be in the contest. I squeezed some pennies and stocked up on some ramen and pb n js for the next week and was able to finally pay last night. 

 

Patch looks awesome, does anyone know what kind of leather it is made out of? The arcs look great too!

I was shock with the backpocket before reading any of the comment! what am i getting myself into, did i misread something about the frankenstein denim, thank god!

[KrunkyB1]

Imho, the backpockets were not that bad and i like a lot the arcs

[Foxy2]

Coming along nicely - good entertainment in regards to the back pocket.

[spunkey]

Just paid up, hopefully not too late. My paypal email is one I never really use/check so I just saw the invoice.

[Bobbo]

Any news from the master? 

[Capsicum Fried Meat]

I talked to Inoue san via instagram but no reply. I believe he's super busy recently with new release and Workers collab.

[volvo240thebest]

hey Capsi, Inoue told me that he'll be ready to ship jeans from Japan to Ed around sept 19th, so next week. If we are lucky some of us will have the jeans for the beginning of october.

[alvin_cheong]

Cool, wishing the contest will start soon. Counting down the time to see good fades from you guys...

Hmm this may seem annoying to Jason from regiment but I think I'll need to give them a different shipping address- I move 9/27 and thought I would have the jeans before that.

Thanks for your aborigen present, I will prepare a nice carpaccio with it, Annibal Lecter style.

[edmond]

fucking filipinos work like a horse man but they work like a 90 year old horse so again sorry for the delay

[edmond]

just fucking need to kill these 90 year old horses for their crinckly cordovan hides

[Foxy2]

I guess what Ed is trying to say is that he/his shop probably won't break even on this project, but he is doing it anyways - just for us MF'ers.

And that there were delays (and maybe more to be expected)...

[bartlebyyphonics]

we love you ed!

lets see what you make the hides into...

nice translation foxy
