      @JDelage:

      Where does the term 'yenim' come from?

      It's a pun. The denim uses the same tree pulp as is used to make money.

        I know but what's the connection? (I'm not a native English speaker; I might be missing some slang reference…)

          Yen is the name of the Japanese form of currency.

                    Do you know what exactly the issues are @Giles? What will happen to the faulty ones? If they were still wearable I'd be willing to buy a pair for a discounted price.

                    Yes Ido know and I have articulated them elsewhere.  We only ever sell "seconds" at the Iron Heart camp in Japan, where customers can see exactly what the problem with the item is.

                      @Giles any more word on when the vintage 18oz 634 or 666 will be in?  I know you said early Feb. a few weeks ago but curious if you have a better idea of an ETA now.

                        It's in Japan, so I would guess really soon.  Saw the type II as well.  They look awesome.

                          I saw that as well which is why I was curious.  Looking forward to these in the 634 cut  🙂

                            Also saw the Type II as well. Definitely on my radar as I've always wanted one. Had previously purchased a Levis Vintage and was so disappointed in the quality for the money that I sent it back.

                              The 634 should be in Mon or Tues, the 666 a few days later….

                                  It's a low tension weave, woven like denim was in the 60's and '70's.  It's woven in a mill famous for producing old fashioned denim. You'll probably get a load of vertical falling - but hell, who really knows, no-one has made this stuff before…..

                                    I love my 25oz jeans , the quality is top notch. I immediately wanted to buy one more pair.

                                    I am looking for horizontal fading upper thigh area. What is your best jeans for creasing and fading around upper thigh area?

                                    @ alex , thanks for your help sorting out sizing for me . It fits fine 🙂
