Deadstock Selvage Denim Available!!

[kidvintage]

Hello to all!! I thought that some of the denim freaks on this site may be interested in this cool find:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=320048491505

Thanks.

[coalessence]

thats a great auction....i wonder when it was actually produced and why it wasn't used, and how this guy just happened to end up with 100 yards of denim

hey ande, get ahold of that and do a limited run of superfutureXAnde Whall selvage, haha

[andewhall]

HaHa, yeah I would love too, but $=0:eek:

[tony_hige]

Looks like the denim that Jean Shop uses.

HaHa, yeah I would love too, but $=0:eek:

how many pairs of trousers could you make from this much denim? you should hit him up and tell him youll do a few pairs of free jeans for him if he drops the price in half...

[cmykhustla]

what if we all chipped in money to buy it and then give it to Ande to make jeans for us at, perhaps, a slightly discounted price. Although shipping that thing to Ande would probably cost a lot.

[Tenchi]

Alternatively there is a smaller batch here http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Levis-Raw-Selvage-Denim-Fabric-Levis-LVC_W0QQitemZ320047358161QQihZ011QQcategoryZ11483QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

But that works out to be about about $33 a yard....whereas that bulk one is about $6...lol

[brozek]

I'd definitely make some sort of a down-payment to Ande for a pair of jeans made from that roll!

[__3xL]

okay theres enuff for 40 pairs of jeans .. everyone chip in $20 NOWWWWW !!!

andewhall whats is your paypal ???? I NEED a pair of orange selvage whalls in my life !!!!!!!!!!!

im dead fuckin serious

$610 + shipping + andy gets the remainder for paying for it and handling it for us

[__3xL]

Make a list of 40 people ...

1. ) Numero Uno 3xxxl ( number 1 of course )

[sell veg]

is that on top of the regular aw price? haha, here we are negotiating for him... how long would it take andy to make 40 pairs? and do his existing patterns accomadate straight outseams?

[diewhitegirls]

Since I already plan on getting some of Ande's jeans in the nearish future, I'd be more than willing to stamp my name on that list, if he would be interested of course.

[Guest StuckOnStupid]

yeah, im in...all those people who didnt get some fancy expensive oriental contest pants because they didnt have the cake to pony up right away or found the idea of a pants-wearing contest a tiny bit gay should maybe hop on this....

[adsurgo]

im in but i might just buy the whole thing myself.

[Guest StuckOnStupid]

word, you could maybe have 40 pairs of pants, or maybe like...24 pairs of pants, one jacket, and a small pup tent. sky's the limit, jimmy!

"OK LOL FIRST POST GUYZ SOOOO LYKE, I WAS WONDERING WILL I LOSE SOME INCHES FROM RAIN/EXPOSURE TO OXYGEN LOL?" WILL BEAR ATTACKS GIVE ME SICK FADEZ LOL?"

[__3xL]

ha

I wonder how much he would charge us per pair though once the material is paid for as a superFuture group buy

[kidvintage]

Guy who bought it is from Taiwan. If it sounds too fishy or there are any problems, I will be relisting the roll. Thanks guys...

[brozek]

So it was you selling it in the first place? That certainly was an interesting ebay find then!

[andewhall]

wow this thread has gone crazy since I last checked it.

sell veg "and do his existing patterns accomadate straight outseams?"

You are correct, I haven't cut the selvage patterns yet.

Tell us more about the Denim Kidvintage

[kidvintage]

I own a textile waste (rag) company in Orange County, CA. Almost everything I deal with is cotton knits: (jersey, baby rib, 2x1, french terry, etc), but I see EVERYTHING imaginable on a daily basis in big volumes. I used to export vintage denim to Japan while in college (mid 90's), so I know a little about "redlines" & selvage. While digging through the bowels of the dirtiest, scrungiest, and oldest fabric warehouses in Los Angeles, I always keep my eye out for unique fabrics (especially denim). I was able to score a few rolls of this denim that was hidden in a dusty corner of a fabric warehouse in LA. History of the rolls? Unknown. Coolness factor? EXTREMELY high! I may let another roll go if anyone else is interested....

Dude who bought the roll is from Taiwan and hasnt e-mailed at all. I'll give him another day to communicate before his luck runs out....

Thanks.

[__3xL]

So 3 people are in for the $20 a head .. 37 to go .. ugh ..

it could be 30 people total if shipping costs werent a factor

ande how much would you charge to make us jeans per pair if we all group buy the denim roll ?

edit > CRAP ! whall you are in new zealand ? :-(

[cmykhustla]

Count me in for #4. We should fly Ande to the US to make them

[coalessence]

kidvantage thats pretty interesting .....what exactly does "textile waste" entail... are you involved in recycling, buying/selling or what? i'm a little in the dark

and if there is a list i'd be down for throwing 20 bucks up for some selvage...If not, i'm fairly content with some v3 grifters

I sell rags. Like cut-up t-shirt material mostly. If you want to stain/refinish a table and you go buy a bag or box of t-shirt rags to apply said stain with, then you will buy a box that I have produced. To source said material, I must search the bowels of LA for "overstock", "closeout", or "extra" material (read: CHEAP!!) to cut into wiping rags. I have found some ULTRA-cool fabric over the years (1940's t-shirt fabric, 1940's herringbone denim....both with "date of manufacture" labels intact!!). Most fabric I look at is mundane, but I find the occasional score....like selvage denim!!

[coalessence]

thanks for the info sounds pretty cool and definitely unique !

[__3xL]

40 people $20 each to cover price of roll + shipping to destination ...
