Loomstate Denim

[d]

Hey

I've heard alot about loomstate (a subdivision of rogan). Does anyone own any and if so how is the quality

[kiz]

i'm also interested in this brand. does anyone know where it can be bought online or in NYC?

They have the store listings on the website. Union, Nom De Guerre, Atrium....the usuals. Truthfully, I've been too lazy to inspect for myself, so I was wondering if anyone was up on it

i own a couple pair of loomstate jeans. great attn to detail (lined pockets, painted buttons, etc.) although, i don't love stitching at the bottom. also like that it's organic.

I like 'em too - for much of the reasons stated by Krush021, although I quite like the hem stitching

Cool website. I'm going to check them out at Union this week.

TNT Blu here in Toronto has started carrying the line...i'm not that impressed actually..it's def a more traditional style of denim....whereas rogan uses the "slashed" pocket (suit style pocket), Loomstate uses traditional pockets...most of the cuts and styles are straightforward...attention to detail is still there, and even though the pricepoints are a tad lower, i'd personally spend a bit more and go for Rogans...the big seller here is that they're organic...in my opinion, there are far better choices our there at the moment....

... agree with MyMindSpray.

The Loomstates I've seen were like Levi redtabs. The denim didn't have a depth of texture/colour that you get in Rogan, or Japanese selvage denims. Nor the comfort of the ethanol cut.

Also, like most Rogans, the distressing is excessive. The jeans looked ready to retire. Breaking them in is the fun part - don't pay Rogan to do the fun part. I'd probably buy some if they were raw.

... seems more organic to break them in yourself.

i believe they have raw jeans. i think i saw a pair on their website. plain dark indigo/black

[darkanimal]

I saw them just last Friday at Barneys NY Madison Ave. Branch. I didn't really like it, maybe because it was bootcut. Saw only one wash, a deep dark blue one.

The do have a sort of 'dry' jean. The Stasis comes in two types. One is slightly distressed and has a little sheen to it, and the other has less sheen and is not distressed at all. The label says that the denim was designed to age quickly. I'll see how mine turn out. they're really lightweight though, not comparable to selvedge denim at all, in cut or type of denim. deep indigo color is similar though.

[trinket]

I think the stasis is the raw version of the ethanol ... these are ROGAN, not Loomstate .

Guess I've been unlucky to see only the overly washed Loomstates in stores... I'll keep a lookout.

"Loomstate, Rogan Gregory and Scott Mackinlay Hahn’s sustainable fashion label made with organic fabrics, has a seemingly random new project — designing uniforms for the Chipotle Mexican Grills chain. “When I heard Chipotle wanted to talk to us, I was like, ‘What? Why?’†Gregory said."
