@v6power:

Nice Giles, thanks so much for making this happen
And for all of you guys, glad to see some of you appreciate and like it.
I wish my local forum's member as supportive as you guys about this project.

Send them over here, we run a forum seminar on Tuesdays and Thursdays called "Appreciating Giles:  A Guide to a Global Denim Philosophy and the History of British Crossdressing."  I think you can get college credits for it.

that guy that wanted the same arcs as the 301s not a bad idea, i like the 301s loopy arcs.  only thing i could dream up to make these even better are front pockets like the DC4 & 666 series of denim

[Matt]

Other than the patch, I wonder would there be any other Denim Vault specific details, like the DC4 embroidery or the SE special arcs?  And would the more pronounced taper affect the selvedge like it does on the 301s?

[Giles]

Nope, sorry Vincent+Giles just not that creative…..

@Giles:

Just measured the second sample….

Tagsize 33

Waist 33
Front Rise 11
Rear Rise 16.25
Thigh 12
Knee 8
Cuff 7.5
Inseam 36.5

For some reason I wasn't expecting such a high rise. Was that borne out of customer demand, or just the way you guys wanted it?

[Giles]

Felt that having a higher rise than the 666 was a good thing…...

[daynym]

I am in for the higher rise, too. There is nothing worse, than an uncomfortable feeling in the crotch area…

I am really looking forward this cut. Wonder how the thigh measurements of a 34 will be.
Are you going to produce some 35s, too?

[Giles]

Possibly…...

[unharmed]

+1 for higher rises in general (although I suspect this particular model will be too slim for me)

[madmonday]

these jeans make me think of georgeel

[Giles]

Oh, and lest I forget….

[hajduk]

superblack denim version will see the light…?

[Giles]

Yeah, probably…..

[UncutProduct]

Fully lined back pockets are good. So are taped front pockets. Why aren't those standard features I wonder… And sewn in belt loops.And selvedge crotch detail, all that sh!t...standard. always. That may be asking more than I understand. 

[Giles]

Because they add cost…....And believe it or not, we do try and keep costs sown on some of our stuff....

If I can take the conversation back to the pocket arcs, it seems the stealths won in a landslide here. I love them - not that I have a problem with the yellow arcs, it's just that I'm a fan of the understated look (in most situations).

Is there any possibility that future runs of 'standard' models may be 'stealthy'? Perhaps a special 'stealth' edition run of the 634s, 666s etc, every now and then - just to shake things up a little. Judging by the response here, I think there's a market.

dunno if this should be here or elsewhere…

Distinguishanble pocket arcs are something that makes jawns THE jawns....

Giles…

Is it too early to pre-order a pair ? 

These are gonna be hotter than a two dollar pistol....

Jake

[Giles]

No pre orders - too much admin, too much pain when sizing is off…...

[Jake]

I hear ya.  Pre-orders may end up hurting feelings and thighs.  Good call.
