IH-666S-PD - Indigo 14oz Money Denim Slim Cut
-
As usual my timing is poor, really wanted a pair of these, I hope those lucky enough to pick them up will share some awesome pics in the coming years.

We wanted to make 500 pairs (in total of both styles) and made enough weft to produce 500 pairs. Because of the phenomenal production problems, we end up with about 210 pairs. We have to pay for the 1400 yards of selvedge fabric needed to make 500 pairs whether it is useable or not. Yes you're right USD450 is a lot to drop on a pair of jeans, but as a company we are losing on every pair we sell. If USD450 is too rich, I understand, so don't buy them…..
Very lucky to have this forum.
Do you get this anywhere else? -
I've not seen a company more in tune with their customers and this much interaction. Especially in how they communicate what they are making and leave it so open for feedback and critique.

^Truth! Well said gents.

Ok, but the main question remains: What's the look and feel of these f*§%#°g yenim?
I do not understand ass-o-lutley nothing. 14oz weighing like 18oz? 18oz weighing like 14oz? And that cost as if they were made of human pulp?There's only one way to find out: pay $450!
Or remain in the dark forever…

Great post. Thanks.

@Sam:
A comparison photo of the reverse of the new "Yenim" denim and the 18oz of the 666S.
You can really see how much finer the weft is on the Yenim.

. "Yenim" - the warp is made from Japanese currency pulp, so an obvious nickname!
. This highly experimental denim utilizes the Warp from our 18oz denim and uses a Weft made from paper currency pulp, which is half the diameter of a cotton yarn, but twice as strong.@Giles.
I'm a tad confused, (which isn't hard). But it looks to me, looking at the description page, that both the warp & the weft are utilising the Japanese currency pulp. Is this correct? I thought it was going to be either the warp or the weft. Or have I misunderstood? Thanks. -
Good God man. Pics! Give us pics!!!
