Denime

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Lastest and last addition for this year. Before Denime shuts down I wanted to get these.
Had them reserved at Pants Shop Avenue for some time. 
Denime XX 30th Original Line. Size 36

I think a size 34 in those would be good for me. Just as well I’m not in the market for a new pair!

Yeah I understand that. But when you are in the market, they might be gone...

Haha nothing like fomo to challenge one's priorities. 

I've found that if you don't yield to fomo, when the right time comes around usually there are plenty of fantastic options...but I guess that depends on the individual. So many great jeansmakers in the world though. 

[Maynard Friedman]

Quite right. Fomo leads to stockpiling jeans and then selling them off at a loss when you outfat them or change your brand/cut preference. Mofo on the other hand, is the logical conclusion of an Oedipus complex!

b_F, if you decide to soak or wash these (as opposed to leaving them for your son!), I'd be interested in knowing how much they shrink.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Hej John, I gonna wear them rather sooner than later so I will let you know. According to the one-wash measurements from Naoki they won't shrink too much though 

[Maynard Friedman]

Are they basically the same as the standard recent XX that PSA have from Wego but just in 30th anniversary packaging or are they different?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

These are from the 30th Line and that iteration is supposed to be "Back to the roots" for Denime. Surely, there is probably a lot of marketing blabla but they said they went back to the original mill, recreating the original denim recipe, using the old sewing factory and so on. Who knows how much is true about that. Only thing I can say, I have handled the old Denime stuff, the older Wego products and now these. The 30th is closer to the old stuff than the other Wego models.

Wow those are lovely I’ve just checked pants shop and can’t find them are they sold out beautiful freak ? 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Thankyou 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Some more rumors to get some traffic:

Denime will probably be handled by Warehouse in the future. Will be interesting so see how that will affect the brand (seeing Warehouse as a great brand I have no fear of quality) and how they will separate Denime from Warehouse.

Edit: got a second confirmation that Warehouse will be in charge of Denime soon.

I like Warehouse, however the only time the threads ripped at the crotch on a relatively new pair of jeans happened with Warehouse jeans, although they're not the only ones using plain cotton threads... 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Denime is also known for ripping threads so that would fit  

[Thanks_M8]

^and/or butts. 

 

[JohnM]

Good to know b_F.  Couldn't find the XX in 36, so will wait for a pair of Ware-ime.

[Cold Summer]

Interesting news, given Warehouse's reputation I have to think Denime is in good hands. I imagine that they'd keep the denim the same (or as close as possible to the "classic" Denime) while producing it with Warehouse's sewing factory.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Trying my best to secure and save my patch

[JohnM]

Nice work and a beautiful jacket.  You are a man of many talents b_F ... and an enabler (!) / denim guide that led me to my first pair of Denime (30th XX) --  coming soon, as you know.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Looking forward to that one @JohnM

 

"Please buy 'em loose"

[Flash]

Those are gonna fit perfectly after a wash 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^ fingers crossed! Enough spare room in the waistband and the rest should snug up nicely

[lee porter]

They look great like that as well
