I have a shirt made with the same fabric as those pocket  bags.

[BrownMetallic]

@JDelage Love it, IRL.  The bags might have been remnants from the shirts.  Do u wash or dryclean the shirt?  Maybe some evo shots?!

Streaks of natural indigo hues cascading,  like codes in Matrix

I've only worn it a few times and there's basically no evo yet. It's beautiful, but a bit intimidating in all its glorious psychedelism... I wash it at home, cold wash / inside out / hang dry, the usual.

Thanx for the photo.   I see what u mean by, “intimidating in all its glorious psychedelism...”, but shit’s like free-basing indigo, man.

IMO,  the  psychedelia could prolly be tuned down a tad with khakis or something neutral.   I had a similar patterned shirt a long time ago w/c I wear under a cpo or windbreaker, etc.

So, not wabash?

JK Yes, it would work better with something solid & unblue.

[BrownMetallic]

^Yes, agree ... solid & away from blue.

They're really fun light easy to wear here in Austin. 8 Ounce I think super light weight. My gf says I look like a farmer in them. Perfect. I'll post a pic soon I guess I should...

Ok here are some pics. These jeans were not readily available Pantshop.jp helped me get them. I purchased them wayyyyyy back in january of 2020....thinking of the hot summers here in Texas...I'm not a shorts type of guy. Anyhoo they are an 8 ounze denim with the buckle in back.... . Took me a minute to figure out how best to wear these. I think the rolled up works - this is not a fancy denim. Girlfriend hates buckle backs (oops) I mean h a t e s. We are still together, however. Peace out ya'll and thanks Jdelage i think it was you who advised me how to purchase these in the first place. (don't know how to copy and paste user names that's how dim I am). Wearing these with pink vans from last years MrPorter blow out sale and a Billy Reid linen shirt from a while back.

[maharu]

Thanks @thedapperdane! I might get a pair myself, looking very comfy!

[lemmywinks]

Thinking about getting a pair of the 4 Seasons Jeans... missed the preorder on the TCB contest

[persco_]

I got this a few weeks ago. SDA 40th anniversary Type I jacket. I liked the "Autumn" version best, dyed with chestnut. Ordered the wrong size, but washed it and dried it once and now it fits well. The denim is really nice. The light in the first photo is super bright, which makes the colour look a lot more purple than it is. The other two photos are more accurate colour-wise.

What size did you get and how did the shrink & stretch so far?

looking for something lighter than those D1596 from a couple of years back...

[thedapperdane]

^ @Foxy2 I ordered a size 33 and it is currently measuring 17.25 inches across - based on that I could have gone with a size 32 - the inseam is 31 1/4  

(I really enjoy them because they're the kind of jeans that don't take themselves too seriously - they're fun to wear - happy light comfy easy breezy)

They've been through the washer and drier I think - tbh they're being put to work

first champloo jeans, made by kuniyoshi-san of double volante (also made the gbg contest jeans):

i actually like just lightly soaking my jeans at first and then have the combs overlap as they set at different spots the more i wash them. i like the blurriness. crispy combs look a bit terrifying to me.

Exactly!  That has always been my path on most of my denim.

Conversely,  it’s a more common practice to try to get the shrinkage out of the way ASAP to stabilize the fabric before setting the creases ... but, in reality, the denim moves & twist as it’s worn & washed.

So, initially, I just hot soak X2 to get some shrinkage,  most especially on the length, before breaking them in.  Then,  hold off washing for as long as I can & just do periodic soaks to unclog the yarn of dirt & grime.

In effect, the combs permanently record, like in lapse photography,  a snapshot of the movement of the denim as the legs slowly twist ... more of a shadow combs, as opposed to the “terrifying” crisp 3D combs

Thanks for sharing!

never occurred to me the continued twist of the denim adding to the comb shadows on top of the blurriness from the vertical movement as it continues to lose length. great sleuthing @BrownMetallic!

Thanks Ooms!
Had that thought in my head,  but U put it into words so illustratively that finally I’m able to express....

 Actually, I’m supposed to be on a purge mode, right now .... but, accidentally stumbled into these. 

Was curious about the denim produced on a Toyoda shuttle loom called G3.  

ODSDA-001:

• 15 oz. Original 'G3' Slub Unsanforized Selvedge denim 
• Relax Tapered [fits more on the slim side]
• Pink Selvedge ID
• 4 Black Button/Selvedge fly flaps
• Natural Indigo Kasezome pocket bags & back pocket lining
• Raised belt loops
• Fifth pocket selvedge detail
• Pony Hair-on-hide leather patch

 

^These W34s are still DRY.  However,  lately I’ve been worried that I might not be able to get back to wearing my W34s ... & I don’t wanna miss out on the G3.

So,  a pair of W36 came my way & I did not hesitate to grab them. These were warm washed & hang dried.  If these work out, I’ll just sell the DRYs.

Finally got around to wearing the first champloo jeans, got it couple of years back from @BrownMetallic

Been hanging in the closet for some years now lol

Now that the worst of winter is over, I’m finally retiring these SD-101s (relegated to my muddy dog-walking jeans) after 10 or so years of on/off wear. Fare thee well old friends!

^The OG 15oz denim and SDA constructional stitching just don't give up. Am and have been wearing the mystery 102s in rotation with the GBG contest jeans and the TCBs. They have 3 small holes in the crotch, the pocket openings are tearing and what not, but the stitching stays intact and the holes just don't get any bigger it seems.

Edited February 27, 2021 by Thanks_M8

[Maynard Friedman]

Agreed, both the construction of those 101s and the denim itself are as robust as it gets in my experience.
