[TokTok]

What do you think about getting a bigger size and shrink them for a hour by taking a bath?

[Giles]

TokTok,  Wont shrink, it's sanforised denim.  G

would there ever be an OD version of this?

[Giles]

I suspect not, the overdying process does unpredictable things to the denim.  We have had to discard a whole production run of one type of jeans we made once because the overdying process wrecked the jeans.  In a denim as expensive as this and with jeans that are so hard to make, I think we'd need our heads examined if we even thought we should give it a go…......

[Seul]

Damn Giles… First I heard about it, but that had to be quite the bitter pill to swallow...

[Giles]

Yep, it was not a good few days…....

[rocket]

yeah that sounds really bad, in which way did the overdying process wrecked the jeans?

[Giles]

Well, in this particular case, the culprits were a 301 type cut, so the side seams were whipped (the side seams of the 301 type cut are not selvedge).  The overdye process effectively ate the crap out of the whipping and the side seams disintegrated.  We had to bin them, all 100 pairs…....Of course, this is not likely to be an issue with the xhs, but it illustrates how we can be caught out.  And the xhs are simply too costly. I'm not up for the risk......

[rocket]

totally can understand, just interested to see what can happen….

[Just_KC]

true to that. definitely does not sound like it's worth the risk. thanks for the prompt reply! i'm just glad this is on extant. OD or not, somewhere along i need to grab myself a pair of these!

If you are very very very brave, you can always overdye your pair on your own… I did it on an old Levi's jacket, and the result was pretty satisfying. But with a denim so extreme and peculiar, I don't think it's worth to try.

[rocket]

I don't need the ODs, my post was in context with Giles saying that they had lost a run of jeans while doing the OD job…

and I'm with you I would not try that on the 25oz...
