Fall/Winter 2016 Pipeline

[Giles]

Yenim will be ready in about a week.  We had massive problems weaving the denim, whatever the exact issue was I do not yet know, but whatever it was, caused the loom to stop.  When a loom stops and has to be restarted, you get 1/2 an inch or so of bad fabric where the loom is getting back up to operating speed.  This means that cutting the parts out of the denim to make the jeans is a complete and utter nightmare.  Result is that we have only got about half the jeans that we wanted…

Vintage 18oz will be end of Jan.

Sounds like an utterly expensive nightmare as well.

will the retailers still be getting some yenim? has the price gone up (or still $450)?

[Giles]

1. I think so
2. I hope not

Indigo dipped? (Only a few dips…) @Giles

It looks like it has a ton of character…

thanks giles

the only thing that has me hesitating on getting PD the day it's listed is not knowing what to expect considering it's using a new material for the weft… like will it stretch/shrink differently? will the paper weft pick up more or less indigo during a wash? i'd love to just find out for myself, but for $450 (hopefully not more!) im not as sure.

I suspect if you prevaricate, you will miss out.  But I may be wrong, I usually am…..

have you or will you be washing a sample pair to test it? i don't even know if it will shrink and it's probably insignificant -  im just kind of curious if there is any difference when using a paper pulp weft.

I must say, not that I consider myself ignorant, I do learn a new vocabulary on this site, besides what I've learned about denim.

[wavehead]

i had to look that up too

[Broark]

Just curious, will the yenim have a specially designed patch?

[Giles]

The Yenim will be one-washed, so shrinkage will not be a significant factor.  I do not know if it will have a special patch.

And actually procrastinate would have been a better word…..

[Jett129]

While you are right that procrastinate would've been a better choice,prevaricate sounds way more bad ass!!!

^ holy shit that looks nice! 666 and 634 first? I'd eat my own kidneys for this in the 555, but that's not going to happen…

[Jett129]

@neph93 I'd eat one of your kidneys also to have this in a 555!!!
