have they been stretching out much on you? i thought for sure i would have to take these in an inch but mine haven't really stretched out that much ... my belt is really tight though.

[bye4now12]

Thats what I've been doing. Wear a belt at all times, literally. And even still they've stretched out a bit, but the belt keeps them up.

I'm considering doing that thing where you fold over parts and stitch them. Its basically what my belt is doing anyways, might as well make it permanent.

[Bona Drag]

they did stop producing the 660... and all other 5 pocket levis style jeans. they are now focusing on the duckdigger style stuff.

so the ones at big now are the last run?

[beatle]

I know it's sensless - but any one want to trade size 28 for 30 ?

Now shoot me...

[Chicken]

sorry beats, i'm very happy with my 28s.

on a good note, i'm sure dd+1 evisus are going to fit you very well.

[poly800rock]

The first month has passed, and fast at that, so now it's time for the monthly evolution pictures! No closeups or anything, since I think it's too early...

Think I'm gonna do a soak today, maybe get them to shrink up just a little bit more, since they stretched a lot.

i already pre-vote you to win. those nudies you had you destroyed them in the best possible way

I just might have to wash these every 4 weeks...

[cheep]

fuck... mine have stretched but i dont need a belt. maybe you all just need to get some ass.

[beatle]

Fuck..where to buy ass ??

Maybe it will get bigger over Xmas...what a present...

[datasupa]

^^^i heard tg's ass quit because of the recent bannings. maybe you could convince it to come back to help your jeans fit. if that's not a worthwhile cause, i don't know what is.

the new lightning magazine is out! and here's one of the scans gordon sent me this morning.

world is watching

special order items from popular oversea shops

we'll introduce you some special japanese items ordered by popular denim shops in new york and hong kong. in new york, there's even a contest you can participate from japan!

caption top right: the patch made for blue in green's special order model. design is very unique.

caption middle right: obsession about color fading wasn't just a japanese thing. what kind of plans could these participants from all over the world have in their mind as they wear these down from the raw state?

caption top left: here's a faded sample of the 660. would there be a contestant who'd achieve beyond these strong selvage fade, contrasty hip area and natural-looking vertical fade?

world-wide denim contest is on!

caption lower right: tighter fitting straight cut compared to warehouse's standard straight models. this silhouette is easier to achieve fades.

warehouse "660" specially ordered by new york's blue in green. this is a medium low rise straight cut jeans using the long-time warehouse standard 1000 (1000xx) denim. it's a vintage-like denim constructed in a silhouette tailored more to the new york trend. of course, this model is a limited edition only available from blue in green. there's no plan of a release in japan. and another aspect of this 660 is that there's a world-wide denim contest going on right now. there are contestants not only from the u.s., but europe, asia and oceania (more than 10 countries!), as well. there's also a big celebrity residing in new york participating in this contest, making this even more exciting. there also seem to be contestants from japan. this is a one-year contest, and the contestant who achieves the most beautiful fade will receive a hank-dyed natural indigo warehouse 660. this is also a rare special edition model never released for commercial use. the contest is already closed to new participants, but we'd definitely want to witness the best denim fading skills from all over the world. the winner should be announced by autumn of '08. definitely check out blue in green's website.

and here's another page talking more about gordon and blue in green.

[Chicken]

caption lower right: it's extremely rare for an american to analyze and respect japanese denim as much as he does. and of course, he's very serious about studying denim aging processes. people who are confident about their english ability should visit and chat with him about japanese denim.

[Chicken]

new york's blue in green is a popular boutique that carries many japanese denim brands. you'll see a lineup familiar to denim fans, like warehouse, sugar cane, samurai jeans, pure blue japan and eternal. these premium denim are displayed inside the refined interior to show how wonderful japanese denim are to new yorkers. located in the soho district, patrons include numbers of fashion designers.
