Left Field Jeans

[nattomoto]

Are yours 32 tagged zakurie ?

Yes. And I forgot to mention that I hot soaked them.

[SoLid_frOg]

Most likely.

I have been contemplating picking up another pair... just in case.

You re really diggin it.

BiG have sold 3 pairs of 32 tagged raw tweed to us 3. LOL

Still waiting for my pair though...

[Johnnylazar]

I just ordered the high slub natural indigo's from context. Can't wait till they come in. I'll put up pics for sure first thing.

[nattomoto]

I've been wearing the tweed denim all day, and just loving the jeans. After the soak, the tweed slubs came to life and make the jeans really interesting.

The jeans didn't shrink in the length as much as Gordon suggested they would.

The top of the watch/coin pocket is even with the top of my belt. I wear a pocket watch and it is easy to access and put back under my belt.

[rnrswitch]

Whoah, I roll with a pocket watch too. After wearing for the past two days the tweed really has begun to come out. I can't get enough of these jeans. They even have a lap felled seam, which is supposedly stronger than the interlock stitch. The chainstitching is done by vintage Union Specials. The antique copper on the rivets, shit just blows my mind.

[SoLid_frOg]

So i'll have to post for a third time that i cant wait mine. Arrrrggghhhhh

u guys are making me crazy.

[english]

i shouldn't have, but i placed my order. these just look too beautiful to pass up!

LOL

Finally, i got mine. And I'll have to say that you wont regret your decision english.

I like the cut. Denim is great, of course, with good construction and nice detail. What else can you ask for ?

btw, they bleed a lot during the soak. Anyone got the same experience?

[rnrswitch]

Mine didn't bleed much. I did a cold soak though. I did see a lot of the starch (brown stuff) in the water afterwords.

[TTM]

lets get more pics! So little documentation on these

[rnrswitch]

I will try to post more pics this evening. Man these tweed slubs start coming out of the wood work after a weeks worth of wear. Shit is beautiful.

Regarding construction I noticed that the chainstitch around the waist only goes to about an inch from the fly, like many japanese companies. Kinda what Miz was talking about in his thread and how the Japanese could not figure out how Levis got the chainstitch all the way around the waist.

[english]

just picked mine up. really love the cut and details! about to go soak them.

noticed the tailors pencil too. but only on the coin pocket. wonder why as it's not like the thread contour would require marking?

can't remember if anyone mentioned that the pocket bag openings are taped as well.

rnrswitch: how long did you soak your's for?

[rnrswitch]

I soaked mine for about 3.5 to 4 hrs. I didn't get much shrinkage. Also, they have stretched out quite a bit just wearing them over the past week.

[SoLid_frOg]

I didn't get much shrinkage too. And I figured out that the stuff i thought it was bleeding is starch because they look brownish.

They aren't getting much wear though, since my another pair is in a contest till July.

[english]

well, i cold soaked for about an hour and a half, then soaked to rinse them for another 30. the first soak tinged the water a light brown, nothing major. the rinse showed a little bleeding. the water was just slightly blue.

[Johnnylazar]

I just got in the high indigo slubs from context. Shit is amazing. Thick and slubby as all hell. It's a very slim cut. The denim is a little soft, but they are amazing jeans, i'll have some pics up later.

[rnrswitch]

Some more pics of the tweed denim and hardware.

[SLAB]

gorgeous stuff; thanks for the detail pictures!

[apples]

I don't thin that 'slubby' quite captures it well enough... and there only pics!

How do the Left Field High Slub indigo rinses compare to one wash jeans from Eternal, PBJ and Warehouse? Does anybody on this thread own the Left Fields and one of the other types mentioned?

[AdamKerchman]

saw a pair of these in BIG, had never heard of them before. The denim itself was truly intense - large brown slubs. They have a real great look and feel to them, with some NICE detailing. Def. something to look into

[TyCooN]

Going to have to get me a pair. Dying to see how these will fade.

[fallen angels]

Copped me a pair of the raw tweeds! This denim is so sick, it's unlike anything I've seen before.

Here's a close up of the denim:

inside:

Cant wait to see how the tweed behaves as these get worn in, though I probably wont start wearing these until fall/winter.

Thanks to rnrswitch, really helped me with my decision to grab these.

[apples]

the slubiness is mesmerising...

[rnrswitch]

It is almost like an anti-slub because the slubs are from the weft yarns not the warp.

They really start popping out once they are worn in a bit. I almost wish these jeans would not fade. I like them just the way they are, but then again, I think that of almost all my jeans when I first start wearing them. These though are definitely special.

[TyCooN]

interesting denimz

[sm2s]

anyone got any early wear on these yet?

[rnrswitch]

I have some slight light blue spots showing through, but nothing drastic.

They have stretched out quite a bit though.
