Kapital jeans

[grooveholmes]

Although I haven't read "the book", my understanding is that denim historically has always been a rather loosely defined term depending on region/country, with anything from cotton, wool, silk, etc. used in the weaving process. But of course such ambiguity, as it does today, leaves open quite a bit of room for debate.

Totally agree. Thank you for pointing that out!

I always thought it was an after shave for men who don't have to try too hard!

Recent Pickup, Kapital Kountry (Racoon?)

this amazing pre-washed denim have a great texture with a damn great details. the fades and damage is so natural and with those sexy red-ish selvedge. maybe Almanac could help me with this pair of jeans. i dont know much about the process or the fabric itself, but it is a great pair of pre-wash jeans (damaged).

Kountry Cisco. Medium wash. I like the look of the very limited pre-distressed/washed items they make as well. Especially since they do such a wonderful job.

Decided to get this Kapital Kountry Boro Tote with Sashiko Stitching from Mr Mudd and Mr Gold online shop. Very amazing looking bag.

Write-up and scans are up here.

Atom Ching nice tote bag with sashiko stitching, amazing..

[Planetarium]

Thanks for the scans, Bandana Almanac. Now I'm definitely saving up in anticipation of the Century Denim.

[Iwmmm]

Nice scans Almanac. I've been eyeing the new(ish?) 5P Indigo black denim. Does Kapital webstore do shipping to US, never have directly purchased something from them?

The webstore does not do any international shipping. I am trying to get something working that is easier than proxy ordering but things like that take time to take shape.

On another note, I think Kapital did some broken twill and black denim for the a/w collection. Will have to double check.

The Century Denim site is up. Thinking about getting a pair in the TH cut once I can afford it

[PeterParker]

That's some seriously interesting denim. I thought "weird" at first, but the more I look at them, the more I'm fiending for a pair.

34 is the longest length though? That stopped me from pulling the trigger. And clue on shrinkage?

[grooveholmes]

I'm a bit confused with the site-- are the 7s available yet?

gotta agree with this^

the sashiko stitching is a nice touch. dont know if should wait for no.7 or proceed with a no. 5.

[lance]

how does the 7 differ - in cut?

edit - found it - gray rather than perssimon

[redragon]

What cut does the century denim comes in?

Edit: my bad, found it... What is TH cut? (the site only say its their original cut but no real description of it)

[redragon]

I went to the Kapital shop at Kyoto branch, Century denim not available yet i guess...

(not sure at all what the store attadent say, my japs really bad)

Will try my luck at the Tokyo branch.

[berkel]

can anyone help me about the sizing of this Kapital Cisco? should I go tts or can I go downsize 1?

My true waist is approximatley 35-36ish

[BrownMetallic]

i sized down 1 on mine__ but 2 is doable if you're on the lean side, imo.
