A different kind of weft

[Vanquish Gold]

Weft really plays a big part in the outcome of your jeans after intensive wear... of course with interesting weft comes interesting result...

Just a thread to collect denims with different kind of weft .... away from the norm.

It is a washed.. but nevertheless i seen fading on these before.. pink weft is really .. Woooah!

Sugarcane SC40501

Amazing weft.. too bad i don't like the fit.... if not i might even fly to Japan just to get it!

[headtowall]

I'd like to see some progress pictures of those Sugarcanes. I know someone here had them.

[Charlie Delta]

Yeah but nobody really wore them, they just changed hands alot, they are amazing though, I've handled them and it's really something special.

Anyway, nice thread.

Nandonando's?

[sidneylo]

Oh shit, the rainbow weft jeans... those were absolutely insane looking in real life.

[tweeds]

wish they'd re-issue that without the side pocket; the denim looks insane.

In general bleached weft is the norm, but I really like unbleached "white" weft. It yields a yellowish tinge to the jeans. I believe Nudie uses unbleached cotton for their weft. I don't understand why more "repro" type companies don't use unbleached cotton for their jeans.

The Acne Max raw has a very nice green weft, I just threw my pair in the wash but I'll put up some pictures later on.

[flex0r]

Doesn't SDA's 0xx denim have a grey weft? What kinda fade do coloured wefts give? I assume grey would be muddy, but what about green, pink, etc.?

I can't even imagine what those SCs would look like.

[annacobra]

The colored weft does not change the fading much.

Only little of the weft is seen on the right side. What u see on the right side is mostly the warp (=the indigo dyed) yarn.

With fading the warp looses color, and thus will show white as usual (the weft will still not show more than before) .

The weft yarn though is very visible at holes.

sorry, above link will not work. I actually have a nice pic of brown weft denim, washed down a lot. I will try again to upload..

[choice_genes]

I agreement with you rnrswitch.

I was just thinking about weft today (sad, yes...). Yeah, it's true that nudie use an unbleached weft, at least on their selvedge denim. I really dig. When worn in, I think it gives the jeans more of a 'dirty' look if that makes sense - yellow/brownish undertones come through, rather than the usual white where the weft is bleached.

I too am surprised that there aren't more 'standard' repros around with unbleached white weft.

[Vanquish Gold]

Nudie Tight Long John Dirty Stretch... i seen it in person ... yellowish weft.... too bad i don't dig tight long john ultra thin fabric...

[iGIT]

Can someone please explain to me what "weft" is? :confused: I know its pretty noobish.

[jo3 b]

the warp is what runs parallel to the selvedge. its what you see as indigo yarns. the weft is what runs perpendicular, what you see as white or ecru, or in the case of this thread, fruity pebbles.

or in simpler terms... the inside of a pair of jeans....

[dibadiba]

nudie straight sven dry copper....copper weft with black sulfur dye. following pics are my buddies pair when brand new.

Actually, if you think about it, because denim is a twill (which means the threads in each direction are woven so that they go over two cross threads, then under one, then over two, then under one, etc...), the inside of the jeans are two-thirds weft-colour and one-third blue, whereas the outside of the jeans are two-thirds blue and one-third weft-colour..

Zebra stripes weft by Tabloid News ... very interesting lol

[Opie]

That could actually make for one "gimmicky" fade.. +rep for bumping this thread!
