The CONTEXT CLOTHING Thread

[inthemix_]

any current coupon codes?

[ryandenim]

I noticed on the website that the Academi grey flame selvedge has resin coated weft thread. I presume from that statement that the warp thread is not resin coated. Is there any info on what effect this may have on fading or shrinkage?

Denim is strengthened when resin coated. It shouldn't effect shrinkage. We had some limited Lee 101B & 101Z a while back and after years of wear and washing they faded great-- took longer to see wear however.

Any idea when you guys will be getting more raw indigo KMW 1980s in?

[sam113]

We have a bunch coming with our Spring order due to arrive in a couple weeks.

How are you liking NY so far?

[whatuknowaboutthat]

any idea if you guys will be carrying the Thin Finn Organic Dry Ecru Embo? Or the Slim Jim Ecru Embo?

[sam113]

^^^

We have the Thin Finn Organic Dry Ecru Embo ordered for fall- delivery will be in August.

[TheOneTrueMatt]

New York is awesome but i'm spending way too much money. Gotta find a better job. I'll keep an eye on your site for the KMWs. Need something more classic looking to alternate with my new MIJ 19cms

Contextcash does not expire, so never fear.

Sorry for the delay on posting these pics. Here is visual evidence of the white core of the twill on the Black KMW CONTEXT 1980.

Look very closely. The large piece of denim is the fabric used in the KMW Context 1980. You can see the white tips of the threads coming off the sample piece. The smaller piece of fabric is not ours.

This fabric is stiff! After two weeks of wear, the honeycombs have set nicely.

Some evidence of wear begins to show, a bit of 'fading' evident on the edge of the belt loop.

We'll be receiving a small restock of Academi Raw indigo and Raw Grey soon. Become a member to get an email heads up.

APC restock is happening soon as well. Again, become a member and receive an email when the restock occurs.

[pantheist]

is this just apc denim?

[ryandenim]

is this just apc denim?

Academi's current models are made of Evisu and Edwin fabrics. Both quite nice.

If you mean to ask if we're getting APC collection, we are. Even more for FW08

[Guest ManOfSteel555]

Nom de Guerre's 6th season, "Under the Open Sky" has arrived at Context. The American idea of Manifest Destiny and her bygone Industrial Age inspired the clothes. Rugged jeans mixed with smart cotton shirts in stripes and refined floral prints recall the era. Check out the weather resistant fabrics updated in choice technical polys. Keep your eye on more to come into CONTEXT from this amazing line.

Nom de Guerre is a New York based creative collective founded by Holly Harnsongkram, Wil Whitney, Devon Turnbull, and Isa Saalabi. The concept of the collective is to combine basic and diverse influences from art, fashion, and various New York subcultures to create a composite culture and product.

what is the inseam on the ndg classic fit selvage? didnt see it on there

[bigwhale]

does the classic fit selvage and suvin jeans stretch at all? I'm a 31. Dunno if a 30 will be too tight.

Context has been ground zero for Kicking Mule Workshop fans for years. We began with the slim 1980 and classic 1950 and added the tapered Rocker (more coming soon) and relaxed 2010. We brought you their first limited edition store collaboration, the Context KMW 1980 Black, and are currently the only store offering the legendary 1950 AWA limited in production to 50 pairs-- only three pairs remain! We are Kicking Mule Workshop experts. This season KMW presents a Japanese Selvage Chino and Blazer, perfect for the warming weather. In addition we have the 1950 RR Worker Pant. You won't want to miss out on this jean, it is special.

[vjiforlife]

restock on the nom shawl neck yet?

[ryandenim]

does the classic fit selvage and suvin jeans stretch at all? I'm a 31. Dunno if a 30 will be too tight.

Yes, this fabric will stretch approximately one inch in the waist with consistent wear. Peep our measurement grid on the NDG denim product page.

[ryandenim]

The wait is finally over! Our long-awaited restock from A.P.C. is here. Buying A.P.C. online can be a bit confusing. Thats why we take the time to measure each pair of A.P.C. jeans with each new shipment. Check out our sizing charts for the Rescue (sizes 28-36), New Standard (sizes 26-34), and New Cure (sizes 28- 32).

[Spastic_Koala]

Thanks for the heads up ryandenim.

[Guest ManOfSteel555]

ALD belt restock happening this spring?

[alexryb]

Ryan,

I wish I had a penny every time someone asked you when you were going to get another shipment of New Cures. Or New Standards.

Are there any photos from the "Death of Fashion" show?

Maybe you posted them, & I just missed it.
