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

          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

          Cheers,
          David

                Now this is a random question.
                When i get the IronHeart advertisement popping up on Facebook, that says 'Our Fall/Winter collection is arriving on a weekly basis. See whats new under the "NEW STUFF" tab at top right hand side of our website.'

                What jeans/denim are/is pictured?

                Thanks!

                      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.

                      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.

                              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…..

                                          When you guys get new denim that is prone to lots of bleeding (such as ye olde 25 oz IH), do you tuck in your shirts anyways? If so, does the indigo wash out if it transfers? Please and thank you.

                                            I generally don't tuck, but I really wish more denim brands would line the inside of the wasteband with something.  Either do a double wasteband of denim, but natural denim on the inside, or use another non-crocking fabric like chambray, duck, or (as I have in some old Rag & Bones) a herringbone cotton twill or some such.  This is the kind of detail that I really appreciate in a garment.

                                            Think it, be it.
