indigo crush

[lowrider]

I'm starting to develop a crush for the Jomon but not sure why. I fear that I'm caving since so many people seem to love them and I feel kinda left out that I don't lust after them too... Must go read my Grail thread again.

[lowrider]

Okay, read the 45rpm and Grail threads and I still don't get it. I guess I have to wait until I go to Tokyo in November to actually handle a pair.

Anyway - just wanted to revive this thread.

[PG2G]

45rpm must really beat the crap out of jeans in that one wash, because the raw Jomons look freaking beautiful (the color of the denim, stitching, and patch), and the one wash look kinda boring. Its probably just the photography though.

I'd probably cave if I could confirm that the raws actually look like that. Well... and if I hadn't already picked my 2 pairs of denim for the year

[lowrider]

Agreed. After reading that there are all kinds of cool stuff that the NYC store doesn't get, I'm def. gonna hold off until I get to Tokyo before I can decide on whether or not I'm gonna get me a pair of 45s.

those veggie oni blues are whispering my name... looks like a bus trip to new york soon...

i have a crush on a pair of jeans that i dont know exists.

High quality denim, with an identical fit to levis 511. help me find them!

[nettiemoore]

right now i think a pair of 45 rpm umiis would be a nice addition to my collection.

[tweeds]

i want a pair of sorahikos, but i've promised myself to buy these only when i finally visit the stores in japan. the experiential, tactile quality. almost a pilgrimage.

[plongin]

i had a crush on the 710 sams. managed to pick em up a few weeks ago, but theyre still a crush.

[beatle]

Poly made me fall in love...

[Analyst]

Pretty basic. I want to pick up some Eternal 811s. Fell in love with them in HK but didn't pull the trigger

[indigo_junkie]

Same boat as Lowrider. Every other jean on my "to get" list is either a click of the mouse, or proxy mail away from purchase (dependant on funds, of course). Except for the Jomon. That's one pair of jeans I'm going to have to see and touch in the flesh before I cop. I want to make the pilgrimage to Japan and try these on at (one of) the 45rpm stores. While I'm there, I also want to take a quick trip up to Okayama(?) where they have all them 1000 year old indigo dyeing museums.

@Beatle. Disappointed that I missed out on these (PRPS) at the Denimbar sale. Oh well... Next year.

^^^ I'm going in November. Meet me there!

[gimmegimme]

I have a crush on these fh380's...but I promised myself that I wouldn't buy any more jeans until my 103's were see-thru. I predict I'll also have a crush on the new SDA's with new arcs when I see them...I almost hope they're ugly.

[lilldavid]

Right now it's almost all The Real McCoys, But I think especially this one:

and of course this one:

(selvage waistband, oh dear, oh my)

[partytaco]

this post reminded me that i need to post a picture of the pocket bags on the first run of Umii jeans. Patchworked together pieces from various Umii shirts all in suvin cotton. One of my favorite 45rpm denim details.

[poly800rock]

if they didn't have the lee style pockets, i would already have them

Sorry man, that trip's going to be in about 2-3 years for me. Don't forget to take a lot of pics!

[lowrider]

i got a serious crush on these:

can't wait to pick up a pair for my gf...

I'm wearing my S5000AI-10SP everyday but my PBJ XX-007 is winking at me every morning...

[fallen angels]

if i had to pick an "indigo crush", it would be my recently purchased Left Field tweed denim (Cone Mill's White Oak):

I have a major crush on those S5000 AI-10SPs but I'm worried I'll stop wearing my S510XX AI-Ns

Tempting though

[chambo2008]

some mij evisu maybe 1 or 2 not decided yet checking yahoo auctions everyday:)

Whoa... tweed denim... +rep

The dude from Left Field (Chris McCann I believe) said that the tweed denim was sitting in storage at Cone and nobody wanted to buy it. Most clothing manufacturers thought it would be too rough and uncomfortable.

It isn't though, but that might be because I am a fuckin MAN with tons of testosterone.

Get them before they're gone. This denim is unreal.

That's interesting how most manufacturers weren't keen to this experimental fabric. However I was immediately intrigued when I heard Cone White Oak only made 600 yards of this tweed denim. Left Field did a great job turning the fabric into jeans, with their choice of hardware, cut, and details. I agree with you too, it doesn't feel rough at all when I wear it and I've worn other raw Japanese denim that felt rougher when raw.

love it.
