2009 Superfuture Conest - Dry Bones

[who8mahrice]

^I'm hoping the thigh will stretch out a bit too.

I have a request, please. My current pair is a bit tighter in the calf than I'd prefer so I was wondering...I was wondering if we might be able to get knee measurements to see what kind of taper (if any) there is? (I understand you're wayyyyy busy right now, so if you can't get to it, I completely understand. Sorry if that's asking too much with your current schedule)

[iGIT]

I was looking at the measurements and they're pretty similar to my skulls. Well for size 27/28 at least. But i can't go off by the measurements themselves, hopefully I can go to sf this weekend and try them on.

I wonder how much these will stretch too.

sz 30 => front rise 9.2"

Is this right? 10" islow rise, is this super low rise like fashion pants?

How many buttons are there?

Self Edge x Dry Bones x Superfuture = SEXDBXS09 ** The Superfuture Jean

Superfuture, a website dedicated to the finer points of shopping, traveling, garments, and more was launched in 1999 by Wayne Berkowitz and Simon Kristoph. Hailing from Australia, their website took on a life of it's own within a few years, and five years in was already home to one of the largest databases of information about garments, and to be more specific, denim.

Superfuture offers the world a frequently updated set of traveling maps, a listing with reviews of over 1000 shops around the world which are "Superfuture Approved", a blog updated with cutting edge events around the world, and a forum called Supertalk which at times overshadows the other services Superfuture offers.

Supertalk, boasting an extremely active 40,000 users, is home to a sub-forum named Superdenim which is dedicated to all things denim, workwear, leather boots, and Americana reproductions. Over the years Superdenim has seen it's fair share of denim contests, where the contestants are to wear the same jean every day for a certain duration of time, most commonly the span of the contest lasts from 12 to 24 months. With the SEXDBXS09 jean we've allowed the users of Superfuture and Superdenim to give their input on styling, cut, and accents for a very special jean to be released on February 28th; even the leather patch was designed by a renown artist from Texas named JimmyC from Superfuture.

The SEXDBXS09 jean has been produced by Dry Bones, one of Japan's longest running vintage Americana style denim manufacturers. Months were spent getting the denim exactly where we wanted it and the denim was woven for this project; as the denim has never before been used on another garment nobody knows exactly how it will age.

Self Edge has chosen a denim with a little more weight than the classic styles, at 16oz it's got heft to it, and with massive amounts of character showing from the warp and weft it's sure to age well.

The fit is that of a straight leg jean, slightly slimmed down, with a button fly and a long inseam which can be hemmed to the wearer's length without altering the silhouette.

We're proud the way the denim has turned out, it's something we've never had in the store before. The denim has been calendered and singed, yet hasn't lost any character which is instantly recognizable even at a quick glance. Rounded out with hidden rivets, cowhide leather tag, Superfuture dual-tone "Rep Bar" stitch, military grade green rear pocket linings, coin pocket selvedge, and a cotton poly-core stitch; this jean is exactly what we want to be seen in.

The SEXDBXS09 will be released in our webstore under the Dry Bones brand at 8:30am (PST) on Saturday February 28th.

It will be released in our brick and mortar store at Noon the same day. You can also purchase the jean online in our webstore and state in the comments section to hold the jean for a local pick-up at our store in San Francisco.

How many buttons are there?

That's not that low.. it's actually happens to be the same as Iron Heart's new slim jean:

I have thighs that are a bit bigger than par around here (I do a fair bit of cycling; you little chicken leg bitches!). If you could take some fit pics that would be great man!

[PG2G]

I'm a little concerned about the thigh too. Seems like they match up with the Flat head 3001, and those were skin tight on me. Those were unsanforized though. I guess I just need to get out my tape measure

[james nicolas]

i've enjoyed watching this thread from the beginning

every aspect of the jean was pretty much decided in here

the cut was first and many people gave opinions and everyone agreed to a slim straight

then the patch, where we all gave ideas and jimmyc killed it with his art

then the rep bar tab, which is the only thing i can kind of take credit for

it was cool to watch the jean develop and i was honored to be a part of it

hats off to kiya for making it happen

i can't wait to order a pair and be part of the contest

[akuma no uta]

[halberdklown]

I won't be able to post any photos till after the weekend.

But there are quite a few photos up on the product page as it is.. We added two more of the back a few hours ago.

Forgot to mention, the left pocket is a completely different shape than the right one. (9000)

[kino]

sorry if i missed it but this is sanforized or unsanforized denim?

[kiya]

sorry if i missed it but this is sanforized or unsanforized denim?

It's sanforized, but exactly HOW sanforized is yet to be determined.

I'll have shrinking info for you all tomorrow afternoon.

[bustinxjustin]

Sanforized.

[PandaDenim]

If you don't need them hemmed they'll go out on monday morning and you'll have them tuesday.

And yes, we ship to PO Boxes, just put in the comments to ship it via USPS.

I'm sorry Kiya.

But do I need to put the PO box in my address information or just inside the comments box?

Thank you! Sorry for the trouble.

[clover]

considering the leg opening them,

would these stack nicely?

I'm trying to figure out how much I should hem...

[原料かば]

^^thats what i was thinking i like the length of the inseam for stacking but i dont know about the leg opening size, im a 33 in 19MIJ's sp i placed myslef at a 33 on these too but the opening is like 8.7 !! i dunoo

[vamks]

This should be interesting. It seems that the 29 is a reversal of the Red-D.

SExDBxSF

Thigh- 10.9

Leg Open- 8

Red-D

Thigh- 11.5

Leg Open- 7.4

Damn. I sure hope this denim stretches a bit.

[deminslut]

just saw the jeans on selfege.com. the sizing seems to be vanity sized?!?! looks like i might to size down from the 31 i voted for.

[kiya]

I'm sorry Kiya.

But do I need to put the PO box in my address information or just inside the comments box?

Thank you! Sorry for the trouble.

We always ship to the "ship to" address unless you note otherwise in the comments section.

Comparing these to 19cm Dior jeans doesn't really make sense..

This is a straight leg jean, the leg opening isn't small.

It'll look best just touching your shoes or cuffed once or twice above the shoe for a vintage look.

[Turntabloid]

looks like the waist measurements are similar to the red-d, so a 34 instead of a 36 for me.

what happened to the 35? i actually thought I voted for it!

waiting for the shrinking details ...

(good morning - btw!)

[aho]

Common sense is telling me to go with the 29 but the skinny bitch inside me is telling me to size down...kiya, please don't forget the stretch details as well as the shrinking factor!

[kino]

ditto im trying to see if i can size down 1 at all ><

[vamks]

really? I would imagine sizing down would be a bad idea, since these jeans aren't completely intended to be "skinny jeans". your thighs might seriously suffer.

[aho]

Oddly (although not really odd), my chicken legs account for smaller thighs...

EDIT: the man has spoken....a 29 it is!

[kiya]

Don't size down on these.. There's no need to always have a tight waist unless you're going for a really skinny jean look. You're also trying to wear these for a year, which means you want them to last, and sizing down on a jean is going to shorten it's life for sure, especially in the crotch area.

I went true to size on these and they fit perfectly, and i've got about .5" in the waist to spare, so they're actually comfortable.

Imagine that, jeans that are comfortable in the waist when new.
