                  Lovely.  Giles, contrasting golden threads throughout or maybe navy/indigo everywhere (aside from the hem)?

                    I'm looking at some thread samples stitched onto pockets today.  The threads on the sample we made were too bright and looked a bit True Religiony, we are trying to mute it down, if that does not work we will revert to blue thread

                      Blue gets my vote, though I do like that gold hem.

                          I'm all for blue thread.  I like how the gold hem looks in that pic as well but its hard to say without seeing the setup as a whole. Just gold on the hem with blue everywhere else might look a bit weird.  Pulling a page from Roy's book with some black thread on blue fabric could be interesting.

                            g,

                            is it possible to dye some thread indigo to match? just dunk the whole spool?

                            could be cool and lead to whitening – presuming the thread will absorb the dye.

                                I like the idea of a toned-down browny-orange thread. It seems that just about all indigo/indigo jeans have blue threads, so it would be nice to make these a bit different.

                                Having said that, stealth arcs all the way!

                                  I also think blue thread would look the best. Looks great on my SEXIHXLSXA13's and PBJ xx-007's. I'd be curious to see what black stitching would look like once the jeans had faded, could be interesting… but I still say blue.

                                    The first run will not use blue constructional threads.  I spent a long time discussing this with Haraki and Tom today.  Haraki's view is that anyone can make a pair of blue jeans look good if they are stitched in blue as it does not matter how shit the stitching is, it can't be seen.  Our stitching is good and that is important to him.  Tom's suggestion is that we use the same constructional thread as we use on the 634S, not the thicker thread we use on some of the more recent jeans, this will tome down the contrast.  I'll also one was the jean, which gives a little indigo bleed into the constructional threads…I have a pair here with one pocket stitched in blue and one stitched in yellow/orange.  I'll post pics soon.

                                          On production we will reduce the gauge of the thread and we also one-wash "dirty" the thread up a bit.
