Left Field Jeans

[satchelbmoore]

Hey guys, this is a little off subject, but since this is one of the best (for sure the best) threads on sufu at the moment, i'd like to turn a little attention to another great thread and contest, the Ooe Yofuketen contest. voting ends today. while we aren't running our sweatpant contest in the same way with a public vote, it's cool to see how other contests work and see different participation styles.

 

also, if you all vote for jyoni's pair, maybe he'll win that contest and won't be as motivated to win this one....his pair of OOe's is at BlackBlue if anyone wants to come visit them. his hand repairs are incredible.  We can all remind him that he has a lovely pair of Broken Twill Greasers that could probably use some wear too. Ray's pair is pretty great as well.

Voted! Best of luck Jyoni, you just make everyone look bad whether it's jeans or sweats!

 

I washed my sweats over the weekend, I'll post some pictures tomorrow!

[happybabyyoga]

Voted for jyoni, the machine!  Now give us a break..... please!

[altoclefchris]

Maaaaaan, I voted for Jyoni like 2 weeks ago because I thought his were the best anyway

[guthriegking]

I'm with @altoclefchris on this one although I just voted today. Jyoni you are a master of beautiful denim destruction.

[happybabyyoga]

@guthrieking, Jyoni is the "master" of denim and sweats destruction.  I don't think his sweats will last the whole year!

getting in about 7 styles of denim this week including special SUFU size 37, just updated 13 and 15 oz  Cone greasers.  quick question to the peeps, any interest in a zipper fly jean, with a vintage style zip?

because most of us size down in denim, zipper flys tend to be difficult. once they start to crease, they become unmanageable and bacon-like. 

 

i'd be more interested in some unsanforized raws. outside of samurai and LVC, its hard to find a decent pair of shrink-to-fit.

[Broark]

Are those selvedge khaki denim (bull denim if I remember correctly) in this release? That's what I've got my eye on, still in the market since the SL chinos fell through.

This, not down for zippers, but would love to see some unsanf

[satchelbmoore]

If it means my dad would rock some LFs i'm all for zippers! that said, some unsanforized LF would be DOPE!

 

pumped for the 23oz this week!

[SuperJackle]

I'm all for some unsanforized as well. Its all I crave anymore it seems.

[sombrero]

Christian explained his reasoning behind no unsanforized a while back on this thread

but I'm too lazy to seek it out.  Short story:  he prefers sanforized.  I suppose there's

always a chance though.

 

But while we're serving up suggestions....

indigo warp x indigo weft denim in the greaser cut please!

What are the other styles if you don't mind me asking? Also on the note of zippers I personally prefer a button fly.

[Goominim]

I'm still holding out for more black cone selvedge duck miner chinos

 

or non-selvedge black duck miners would also suffice

Are you serious? There's a bazillion brands out there producing some really good raw, unsanforized denim.

Although I prefer my denim loomstate, this does not put me off sanforized, in fact I bought a fantastic pair of Ande Whall SR7s recently and would definitely buy more of his stuff in future.

I'm hoping the temperature lowers a bit, I want to wear them a bit before summer rolls around!

 

edit: this is shipping week for the 23oz, correct?

[jyoni]

I have the biggest lump in my throat right now.   I don't want to talk about it anymore, let's get back to LF business but thank you so much.  When you beat down a pair that hard and constantly fix her up, it's like you stitch a part of yourself into them.

 

I can't wait to see the 23oz in person.  Satchel, do you already have them?  I forgot to ask about that last night and you had so much going on with the customers.

i think they mean there isn't a lot of USA made unsanforized denim. even from non-american mills.

[pepper davies]

Fresh off the truck.  23 oz. just hit.  It's pretty fucking serious stuff.

 

We'll be shipping preorders as deliveries come in.

 

[altoclefchris]

gawwwwd that color looks great!

Hurry @satchelbmoore!  Get jyoni the 23oz so he will stop wearing the sweats!

Would be interested to see fit pics on that 23 oz.

If LF can't provide, I'll do it when they get here!

We'll be shooting product shots for everything once all the new stuff is in.  I believe I'll also be doing a little denim roundup blog post.

 

That said - hope to see some fit pictures from you and Satchel in the 23 oz.

I am all over it (if everyone on superfuture couldn't already tell...). I'll most likely take some macros and detailed shots as well, like I did with the green heathers.

[Stan Rae]

exactly. 

 

I didnt know my unsanforized comment would generate such an argument. If we're being honest, I prefer sanforized. But the experience of pre-soaking your jeans and the softer hand and thicker creases which develop as a result leads to some unique results. I think we can all appreciate that...

[Left Field]

You get better fades when they are stiff then soft, so that's one reason why I don't recommend prewashing and have not made shrink to fit before. Thinking of giving it a shot, I would need to calculate the shrinkage on the fabric and add it to the block. Shrink is never a perfect science with so much variation on 100% cotton from lot to lot.
