so, i'm having a pair of jeans made . . . .

[mizanation]

i want to show the excellent work he did on my sufu 660's. if you remember, they were blown out in the crotch.

he redid the crotch, now it's as good as new:

[chambo2008]

that is the best crotch repair ever!!!!

[panthermodern]

that is an obscenely good repair. i'd have a hard time telling if it was even a repair at all.

[greasypeanut]

+1 if u hadnt had mentioned it, i never would have guessed

[SLAB]

legendary thread! and +rep to mizanation

[CJsmalls]

great repair he's done

this thread is inspiring, gonna play with my sewing machine for the next few days

and miz, if you don't mind, I second sayocean's request on asking what kuniyoshi-san's views/methods of washing are.

Although I kinda just wash whenever, I'd be really interested. I'm sure the tons of others who view this thread would be interested too

[Vanquish Gold]

Anyone fancy kuniyoshi-san doing modern jeans 19cm Dior fit with WWII denim fabric? Hehe

[mizanation]

just came back from having burgers with kuniyoshi-san.

about wearing and washing, kuniyoshi-san just wears the jeans. he doesn't crease or do anything extra. also, he is an advocate of washing. he says if you don't wash, the bacteria will eat away at the threads, weakening them and causing tears.

he says jeans last a lot longer if you wash them.

[cheapmuthafukr]

had a feeling hed say that

[aeonfluxy]

Wow, getting jeans made is so cool.

I'd really like to get a pair with this denim fabric for sale on eBay.

Its the old 13-14oz stuff Wrangler used I think (very like the LVC pre-1920's jeans too).http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-13-14-oz-RAW-Dark-Blue-Ring-Spun-Selvage-Denim_W0QQitemZ120418633958

I bet it will fade awesome!

[M.O.A]

excellent

now i just gotta save some money for a real pair of jeans...

[rnrswitch]

Would koniyashi-san be open for us supplying the denim we want the jeans made with. Like if someone can get their hands on the tweed denim from white oak that left field uses.

Also, I can't believe he says you should wash your jeans. What a noob (j/k). Tell him he gets a virtual neg rep from me for that flub. (hahaha)

[inthemix_]

^ that left field tweed denim feels awesome.

[rnrswitch]

Yeah, I can't wait til BIG gets those jeans in a raw state. I have BIG credit and that is where it is going.

[mizanation]

rnr - yeah, he can use any denim that you supply him.

would he have a specific time he washes them?

That denim is all gone and is never to return, sorry...

[rnrswitch]

That's what you think. I am sitting on a bolt of it. For no good reason.

[Charlie Delta]

Same here! (0)

[rnrswitch]

Why don't you share some of the wealth...

[Charlie Delta]

Not much to share unfortunately...

[Turntabloid]

miz,

just read your thread a second time - unique!

+rep

is the online ordering page ready? or did I miss the latest update from you on that topic?

would be also very interested in shirts and jackets!

[mizanation]

You're willing to spend ~$100 for fabric alone? And I don't think it's Wrangler since Wrangler used broken-twill. That's LHT

Enjoy the trip! I'll miss the frequent updates but expect you'll have a lot to post upon your return...

[Sayword]

One of the best of the "Must Read" threads on Sufu In LONG LONG Time.

This definitely needs to be sticky-ed. Thank You Miz and kuniyoshi-san

50$ a yard? PDO sells cone for 3.75 a yard... highly doubt its worth it

[rnrswitch]

Who is PDO. I need some scraps for repairs.

[duck sauce]

premium denim outlet in LA, minimum is 1 yard and then there shipping.

[tmadd]

Wow...what an absolutely fantastic thread...and what a remarkable victory for everyone involved. I think I will have a hard time not having Kuniyoshi-san make my next pair of jeans.
