g,
did you bring home the sample to start putting some wear on it?
i want to see what these look like after 6 months.
-
I did indeed.
I wore them for a day and realised that getting them to stretch enough for them to become my everyday beaters was a triumph of hope over reason.
I gave them to Alex last night (who is about 1.5" smaller in the waist than me) with the instructions (in Anesthetist's words) "to beat the snot out of 'em"
-
^ excellent.

Man, now I need to decide if I should go with the 634-UHR or these in the 634…
Decisions, decisions. At least I know its a win / win situation

I asked Haraki to make this denim this morning. I got the following response "I've already started". I guess he knew there was never any doubt…
I did say that Jeans made from this denim would be more expensive than Indigo warp/white weft. This is because both the weft and the warp need to be rope dyed, which doubles the cost of the dying part of the manufacturing process. I now have some handle on that, expect the indigo/indigo jeans to be approx USD375 - USD385 depending upon model.
Alex update. Alex again asserts that this is the toughest denim he has yet had to break in - I'm thinking that this may be that the indigo dyed weft is inherently stiffer than the plain weft...
