@LandoCal126:

G, did you see them in person? I am sure they are nowhere near 30oz…

Yep I have seen them

Hahahahahahaha, and? They aren't 30oz are they?

Didn't weigh them…..

[Max Power]

I don't doubt the weight (and it also doesn't matter that much to me). The 32 oz N&F prototype is that heavy, so why shouldn't it be possible to do 30 oz? (I won't wear anything above 25 oz anyway.)

Assuming you were not too impressed by them based on your response. That or you don't want to speak badly about a another brand, especially one Will carries?

[Max Power]

I think the latter. Also I recall an old Lightning mag where they showed a sample of  fabric that has been certified in weight, I think it was 29 oz (could be the fearless denim, though, don't recall exactly). So, it is possible to reach that weight. If it is possible to do a wearable, comfortable and durable jeans out of it, that's another story.

Makes no difference to me whether Will carries them or not, but being negative about another brand achieves nothing, so with a single exception, I try not to comment…....

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification G.

Wondering who the exception is 

Chris, is that the late, great Socrates on you avatar?

Assuming Alden?

[Seul]

And maybe Naked & Famous?.. 

[Megatron1505]

For some reason I thought Samurai, but then I remember G hasn't really said anything bad about Samurai that I recall.

[Seul]

Definitely not Samurai.

[Megatron1505]

I know, don't know why I thought that. I guess it has something to do with the perceived Iron Heart/ Samurai rivalry that some people on Superdenim seem to think exists.

Anyway, apologies for the thread derailment

All good, I don't think this thread is going anywhere or has much of a life expectancy on this forum…

[Seul]

Rivalry my arse… Samurai makes kickarse jeans and anyone who says differently is out of his fecking mind  ::)

And that's coming from an IH fanboy 

[redchris]

I also am intrigued as to the exception.

'Tron, thats right, coolest footballer ever.  Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah,  Spain '82 .

[Seul]

The exception is Alden, as stated before.

[redchris]

It still would be nice to hear from someone with experience of those Eight Gs.

After all, one of the oldest Japanese jean-makers must knowa fair bit about what they are doing.

[madmonday]

too be honest, G$ never speaks bad about anything. he just says what his experience was/is with products & customer service . . . why the hell he always speaks so poorly about me now has me scratching my head in amazement    i guess geo said it best "he's pretty useless"

what's Eight G anyway?  who started this thread?  give me some more information, cause to be honest i really don't follow many brands
