Artist Denim

[Max Power]

see superfuture. 90 pages full of information on artistdenim. But i think the 170$ aren't the current price, it's 200 now.

If I could make any sense of SUFU, I would check it out ..

@Lucifer:

Looks good!

Anyone tried these:

weight, fades?

Those are the older version of artist denim (not MTO jeans), fabric 40400 unsanforised sugar cane denim, 14.25oz. and yeah i think the price is still at $170 for those because Gun wants to get rid of them (i think).

I'd like to share my samples I received today here.
For reference - Momotaro sample at first.

Anyone got any more on these, i.e. wear pics? I'm a little skeptical, but curious. Gotta love options!

[Giles]

I got a pair made up, they are really pretty good….

501 should have a pair…

Which denim and cut did you go for, Giles? Any chance of a pic?

I wonder if they do a heavy denim - I think the heaviest I saw on the list was 16oz.

I love how they say on the site that construction may take 3 to 5 DAYS….gee I don't have that kinda time spare.

Foxy never ceases to impress me. I do! Neglected them for far too long.

I have one similar to Giles, same denim choice, 34w, 33L post shrink (ordered 34), like them, good fit, easy to order, came quick to usa.

I don't know if anyone else saw this, but it looks like on selvedgeforum (where Gun posts regularly), he has a roll of what looks like the 21oz IH denim and another roll of what is almost definitely the 21oz sbg denim

That's pretty weird.

So, has he actually got some IH denim or is it just something that he calls "IH"?

[dawei94]

Not sure, but it looks like he got his hands on IH denim. How many other sanforized rht 21oz black warp black weft denims with red selvedge that fade to grey made of zimbabwe cotton do you know of? Also it's labelled IH-2107, which looks like a code for Iron Heart, 21oz, 7th type of denim or something like that. Finally, he already has the SC 40400, 40401, and 40500 denims, so clearly he has the ability to source some pretty cool denims

[injunjack]

I think this need some sort of explanation….How is this possible?

[apba1166]

My guess is that the denim biz works just like the rest of the clothing biz. The fabric biz is different from the design biz which is different from the manufacturing biz. I can go right to the factory and buy the same cloth Canali uses for a suit. Whether i can design it and construct it is another matter, involving not just skill and taste but economies of scale and so on.

[Giles]

You will get an explanation when Haraki and I have found out what has happened…...
