Got a pic? How are they hidden?

They're on the inside of the pocket (peeking out now and then)…

they will leave a faded arc on the back pocket in some weeks/months/years

[madmonday]

that is an original & genuis detail.

great sh!t & thanks for the flick

Here's an example of how it looks ove time.

from the S710BK some years ago (to my knowledge the first model from Samurai with those hidden arcs)

[jimmy]

Ouh I see thanks for the pics guys.

Not an original idea as it was first done by Calvin Klein  still a very very cool idea

[madmonday]

the guy that makes underwear used to make jeans?  wow that is incredible.  i had no idea . . . .HAHAHaHAhA

couldn't help it 

seriously i didn't know that calvin klein did hidden arcs, guess no idea is completely original

[deadendpro]

^ their (sams) hidden arcs goes back a few years, at least to 2006. (i think it was the 5000bk) and it was also used in the first BiG collabo.

did CK jeans eventually have sick reverse fades on the arcs?

Calvin Klein made jeans an acceptable everyday clothing item before then all the workers would get changed before they went home. no one walk around the street in jeans.

I know for some reason there is a dislike for major fashion brands here but like it or not they have one way or another influenced what we wear and how we dress.

Eg jersey knit [tee shirt fabric] was strictly underwear fabric so when Coco Chanel send it down the runway as a top [tee-shirt] it cause quite a stir and thank god she did that because I love my tees!!

They sure did. But they sew in cotton piping to form the arcs which was a little uncomfortable. I am talking about late 60s early 70s by the way. CK jeans has obviously since changes haha..:) but same with levis I guess before they bought back the LVC

Dont know about the cut, but the Jin denim is amazing. I have a Jin denim jacket, and the way the denim evolves makes it some of the best denim that I have ever seen, completely unique.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

But the denim on tghe S0110XJ II is different to the older Jins denim. It has less "horizontal falling", looks more blue-ish/grey…and less slubby
