[kiya]

Buckle up, it's going to be one hell of a ride.

[superdupersang]

enlighten me

[minimal]

what's the word?

[stuntastic]

Goddamnit........

[PG2G]

man, if you're not gonna tell us don't say anything.

you make me want to give you negative rep

[Tarmac]

Sugar Cane was bought out by Mervyns?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

RIP

xoxoxo

[docnbhd]

Did Old Navy buy out all of Japan's selvedge industry?

[minya]

Spill the goddamn beans, kiya

[BTT]

Ended when there was a sneaker site that had 50 pages about raw denim and kids asking "How do I get honeycombs on my nudies??"

and is it just my computer or did BiG just erase their inventory of Samurais, SDA, and Onis?

[sidneylo]

I hope this isn't an intervention from a higher corporation against these Japanese companies.

I hope this in reference to the explosion of attention on Japanese denim.

Guys, I think we need to make a pact and stick together. Hold hands, use the buddy system, and persevere.

[kauflust]

The shuttle looms in Japan suddenly caught on fire. All at the same time.

[Stylen]

I think my balls just went up into my stomach....

[I_miss_lily]

Holy Fuck!!! Enough with the suspense. Spill the mother fucking beans before I start giving out negative rep.

I'm sorry...... I'm just scared

[polishmike]

I walked by BiG today and it was still there I didn't go in but I also saw stuff missing from their website. I'll try to get there tomorrow to check out the Skulls.

My seatbelt is fastened. Here we go--??!!

It's not just you, I don't see anything either. Did Levis decide to go after all the companies that use a form of the arcuate (sp?) stitching?

EDIT: They took down all of their Sugar Canes, too, even the Union Stars.

they did.....

[Tarmac]

wow that's bad. But predictable. Levi's main copyrights are their arcuate and their red tab, regardless of what it says on the tab. Written on every single 501 tag.

[TokenIndianKid]

im scared

:eek:

[horriblyjollyjinx]

ok so Levi's forced them to remove the red tabs and maybe the arcuates, but is it really a big deal? Just remove them and sell the jeans, they're still good.

[shoiebones]

denimpacolypse?

I really wish someone would let us know what the hell is going on here.

This doesn't feel good

[Tarmac]

They might choose to drop all US distribution rather than do that. US is a small market right now.

Trying to think of all infringement brands:

SDA

Flat Head

Samurai

Oni

Iron Heart

Denime?

Sugarcane (didnt they already comply?)

[abstraktgeformt]

2000db will save us all!

[Panda-san]

2000db will save us all!

Yeah really, I'm glad my Edo Ais are in his hands. And I was just thinking last night I could use another pair of of Oni Reds :eek:

[ayn]

yeah, I am trying to get a few pairs, and already contacted 2000 for prices...

gonna fucking boycott LVC's...

[PG2G]

This is kiya's ploy to get us to buy jeans we don't need.

[meader]

What is all about? Are the american distributors stopping to sell japanese denim or what?
