To my friends from Switzerland: is this newspaper article talking about what I think it's talking about?

[davito]

Its about a Movie which was done based on the book "Feuchtgebiete" by the German writer Charlotte Roche. Some like it some dont. The girl acting is Swiss and received very positive Feedback overall as well as the movie itself. Haven't seen it yet

Ahhh thanks david, gotta say the cover really threw me for a loop!

Anybody know of any rope dyed natural jeans out there?

[Morose_Penguin]

A quick search on Google reveals that Sugarcane used to do a model:

Sugar Cane sc40300 Ryukyu natural indigo model

And Unbranded appear to do a pair at the moment, though the site doesn't specify that it's a natural dye.

UB201 Tapered Fit Indigo Selvedge

Oni Denim still do their:

Oni Denim Awa Shoai - 19oz Natural Indigo Blue Fit

The current consensus seems to be that while a natural indigo jean is more desirable in terms of historical accuracy. The limited facilities for production means that prices tend to be horrific, even in the rarefied market of Japanese denim in general.

Momotaro have a nice piece on their FaceBook page:

Samurai did the S510XX-AI in 2008 or so that were rope dyed with natural indigo.

SDA does the 103XX and 101XX but for both, I dunno if they are hank dyed or rope dyed. As rope dyeing is cheaper than hank dyeing (from what I know), the SDA could be rope dyed AI denim with their price range of under 30,000 Yen.

Studio d'Artisan has/had this model: global.rakuten.com/en/store/vintage/item/sdd1554/

EDIT: didn't think of it earlier but TW made a rope dyed NI, no?

Great to see that version of the site still around :).

FH, I know we did/do and the TW-666N and the TW-634N which will be released any minute are both rope dyed natural indigo.  This, I know is super rare, I was just trying to find out actually how rare it is.  Both these jeans will be priced at USD300, which rare or not is super-cheap for natural indigo…..

And thanks for your answers guys, appreciate it….
