Nice black selvage for the low low

same setiments ... I could never pull the trigger on a real expensive pair because I wouldn't wear them enough, but these will do nicely.

[knucks]

are the s-002s also selvage?

[ProfMonnitoff]

Fuck, why am I not in London anytime soon?

[TheJonesBoy]

Seems all their range is Kaihara denim but only the 000 range is selvedge.

I have the one wash regular fit blue S002 here in a 34x30 and they are what I would call a 501 style fit (I appreciate there is a range of 501 fits so I reckon '47 is the nearest I could suggest).

Also have reg blue S002 34x32's here that I bought then decided were too long - happy to sell for anything near what they cost - never worn but untagged. (hope that isn't out of line but can see some people are jonesin for them and can't get hold). PM if interested.

[TheJonesBoy]

Yep. Regular fit and redline selvedge also (Kaihara mills).

[TReed]

The selvedge S002's are more tapered than the regular line S002's. They are also heavier in weight. I think the fit on the premium selvedge line regular fits is better than the non-selvedge counterparts

Nice black selvage for the low low

damn, thats what i was thinkin'

[edmond]

who wants these? i have 2 pairs here 1 34 and 1 32 lemme know blue s0002 selvedge

[cosmicflop]

I was in the Regent St. store yesterday and they've pactically sold out so unless you're a weird size like a 40" waist you might be out of luck. They also told me they're not expecting further deliveries, but I didn't have much confidence in the sales assistant issuing this information so it's not gospel.

[mizanation]

i hope the petition helped a little to get selvage denim back at uniqlo. they definitely knew about it cuz i emailed them several times.

i'm looking forward to seeing these jeans!

UNIQLO's new premium selvage denim range uses 14oz 'mother cotton' denim fabric- nice and heavy, whereas other selvage jeans are typically produced using 12 or 13oz denim. And, by using 'mother cotton' for both the horizontal and vertical threads, UNIQLO has achieved a richer, deeper shade of indigo that will provide multi-faceted and unique wear.

Interesting detail- every single stitch in each jean utilizes supima cotton; most premium denim lines do not use this higher-quality cotton for their stitching.

Stay tuned for more UNIQLO Selvage Denim Facts- more detailed photos coming soon!

[Guest declasse]

so S002 is the cut for people with more meat? not selvege though?

i want some black raw denim. if i can get them in the US......

[travisio]

^you could always just get the somet blacks from blue in green. they're black and selvage. there are quite a few options for black raw that aren't too had to get a hold of in the u.s.

[poly800rock]

wow, supima cotton.

14oz? isn't that about standard for most japanese denims?

And supima cotton, it'll be interesting to see how the hold up. Kinda reminds me of APCs cashmere blended ones.

[edmond]

are you guys sure these are jap denim unioqlo uses? the guy from the store told me theyre from china.. ( im not sure if its the denim or the labor on these)

wow, thats cool.

OK, so from what im gathering, the 000s are slim fitting and the 002 version is regular fit? is the construction different, or just the fit?

thanks for the info btw OMC

[Fookums]

I think it's the labor: on the tags it says they use "premium japanese cotton" I believe, but it doesn't say they're made in Japan.

[Roflcopterpwnsyou]

Maybe I've missed them but are there any photos of the S000s as far as fit? I'm really curious.

[poly800rock]

i would have been really interested if they used supima cotton for the entire jean. some sort of uber luxury jean

[onemancult]

Denim is 100% japanese, as is the case with all of UNIQLO's denim.

there will be fit photos forthcoming, i think there may be some in the

regular UNIQLO denim thread.

14oz is not some sort of industry standard for selvage- there is a fair amount

of it, but it doesn't represent any sort of overwhelming majority.

the S-000s are a skinny fit model, yes- the 2's are a essentially a slim straight.

[Tarmac]

Let's DO THIS

[willy cheesesteak]

BOTH colors of s-000s for me morhahahaha!!!

[7887]

Too be honest, I don't think it will be selling out anytime soon.

Some dude in hk picked up a pair of 000 models for half off, that is, 200 chinese yuan, which equats to about 25 dollars.

For those who can read chinese, ta-da:

Still, if it sells for around 40 bucks in the states, is pretty good price for value.

[edmond]

i got mine for around 25 us dollars a pair

[darkness2505]
