Omnigod denim??

[Chicken]

it's a little difficult to explain, but if you can imagine in photoshop, if you started adjusting your blue more to the reddish side as opposed to the yellowish side while you're in the cmyk mode.

i'll try to explain it another way. in paint:

blue + red = purple

blue + yellow = green

if you look closely, some blues are more purplish, and some are more greenish. even though my omnigods are far from being greenish, compared to my eternals, they are just few shades.

(just as a side example, i think some of the natural indigo sugar canes are quite greenish looking.)

the depth of the dyework is different. that is more about saturation (how dark/deep the color is) as opposed to hue (color, like purplish or greenish).

and how do you come about with a almost-new pair of eternals?

i'm going to try to do a little demo. the color representations can't be accurate because of the web factor, but hopefully you'll get a gist of it.

here are two examples of blue.

c = cyan, m = magenta, y = yellow, k= black

notice the amount of magenta is higher in the one on the left. yellow is higher in the one on the right.

now, this is what happens to them when you make them lighter in shades.

which is different from making them less saturated.

people often confuse brighter with lighter. brighter means more saturated, lighter means less dark. i know this is a bit confusing, but when you're talking about colors, you have to know three things:

hue

saturation

lightness/darkness

damn you vile woman!

yeah i think i have an idea of what you're talking about regarding the eternal vs omnigod indigo.

i'm bumping this thread because TAKASHI posted his friend J's omnigods. although this model (5010-a1) is no longer in production, the denim seems similar to the ones that are available now. TAKASHI also mentions about the greenish hue omnigods have. this pair has a three-year wear in them:

^^^^ WOW!!!:eek: those honey combs are hella mint

[Chicken]

yeah, that guy have worn the crap out of that pair. hope mine will come along nearly as nice, eventually.

[Chicken]

here's an example of what happens when you wear the crap out of a distressed jeans:

God dammit, another option for my next pair. But I have awhile to decide, just started on my skulls.

[tweeds]

chicken, how're your pair of omnigods turning out? is it just an illusion caused by that orange selvedge line in the denim-gallery-heavy pair, or is the cast of the denim slightly orangey or yellow-green as well?

[Chicken]

my 50052 is making a slow progress. i think the denim is pretty stubborn, but compounded by the cold winter in new york, i haven't been walking around as much as i usually would, too. (when it got really cold, i was also wearing my eternals.)

my guess is that i'd be able to post some updates around the end of summer.

but the denim is yellow-greenish for sure. i think the indigo is on the greenish side to begin with, but also the weft is yellow. i bet you that's why you're not seeing a very dramatic contrast in the faded pairs as you would with white wefts.

[tweeds]

it's a delicious colour!

in bangkok there are tonnes of jeans in the same hue. gorgeous.

[valhalla]

i am so gonna order a pair of omnigod now...

[valhalla]

[Chicken]

^ naas!

i got to post mine soon, too.

[Chicken]

a quick update of my 50-052:

[40ozprophet]

Whats the wear time? did you expect more color fading?

[Chicken]

iirc, i got these at the end of november last year. my estimate's about 4 1/2 months of wear, since i switched over to my eternals during the coldest part of the winter.

perhaps it was because i'm less active during the winter months, but they definitely feel like one of the more stubborn denim i have. i feel like they finally hit a point about two weeks ago where they started to show some noticeable fades.

just as a refresher, before:

[john11f]

these are nice Chicken.

[Tyro1]

Yeah they look really nice chicken, what length are they?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

nice chicken

i am amazed that your honeycombing goes up so far

my legs are longer than yours but my combs seem very short in comparison

[Chicken]

thanks guys. i'm happy with how they're coming along.

tyro, i have it posted in the previous page, but the length is just a tad over 32 inches.

ddml, i do have an idea to what constitutes to tight honeycombs (tighter the knees, the tighter the honeycombs). but i have no idea as to what constitutes to tall honeycombs. that's an interesting observation and i'd like to know why, too.

[Tyro1]

thanks guys. i'm happy with how they're coming along.

tyro, i have it posted in the previous page, but the length is just a tad over 32 inches.

Cheers Chicken, I must have missed it.

[john11f]

bump....Chicken, update please?

[Chicken]

i've been so caught up taking pics of dd+1 evisu and stuff, i need to take some pics of where my 50-502 is. let me try to get to it this week.

[iamstarwars]

I have a pair of 50-090A on the way.

Would it possible to have an update on yours Chicken?

[Etz]

Holy shit these are hot. I've been looking for a substitute for my Okinawas and this is it right here. Are these only available via rakuten?

[Chicken]

hmm, i haven't been wearing mine in a while because of the combination of little wear in the backpockets and switching to the contest jeans. i'm still planning on getting the pockets patched up and wearing them after the contest is over. but that's still almost another year away...

[Chicken]

i finally took these to hollywood trading co for repairs today. and i had a moment to take quick snaps beforehand.

i recommend people to check out some omnigods pics in lightning magazine's denim indigo master issue. good stuff.

[beatle]

Nice...if you get the chance - could you post some detail pics ???

[cyberPUNK]

hey beatle! thanks to your proxy order i stepped into omnigod and actually thought about buying a pair of jeans myself. they were relatively cheap and the quality seemed great. my next pair may most likely come from omnigod.
