IH-666S-PD - Indigo 14oz Money Denim Slim Cut
-
So @Giles and crew, I'm confused as to what the actual weight is on this denim? On the back pocket "flasher" (not sure if that's what they're called) it says 14oz but on here they say 18oz. Which one is it?
-
Got mine
thanks again Giles and IH crew!Can't wait to check these out. I've had 25oz and 21oz IH before. This lighter weight is a first for me, definitely excited. Going to be a good summer pair

So, this is Paper Denim!
PD wefts retain their nature of paper money, a fresh atm paper money. They are rigid and behave just like threads of extra-strength paper. The resulting denim (yenim), by contrast, is quite soft and light, really reminiscent of the old first Triple Works jeans. The color is the most beautiful thing about this model: deep blue, very dark but with something electrical. I am very curious to see what will happen after a few washes. Fit pics tomorrow, but they fit more or less like my 19L (first wave). I did well going TTS!

What are all the owner's impressions of the fit on these. Measurements look a bit bigger in the waits and slimmer in the thigh than other 666 models.
-
An unfolded yarn of paper component of yenim. With Wong Kar-Wai, coolest man in the world.
@BloodnThunder Yes, it is. They are 1" or more bigger in the waist and a bit slimmer
Another test: up= 21oz, down= yenim
They are both wet

Here is a picture I took of 25oz vs the Yenim. Gotta say these are pretty cool!!
The thighs are a little tighter than my other pair of 666s but no biggie
The yellow is from the poor lighting sorry.

Since I'm at home with post-flu, I had time to experiment with hemming's spare parts of my yenim.
So, last night I soaked one of them (very hot soak!). In the morning the denim piece had finally dried and … it was amazing! The fabric gained a very different texture, soft and, somehow, realaxed. But, at the same time, it remains tough. Hard to describe, never seen anything like this. If I were blind and I were to judge only by touching, I say slubby.
(Paps claims that she can feel the paper inside)I think that in the next few days my 66S-PD will have a good soak.
@Giles at what stage of production problems have occurred? weaving? cutting and sewing jeans?
-
@georgeel - it was the weaving of the denim, the looms kept stopping and every time that happened it created an imperfect area (line) of denim, and often these stoppages repeated after a short time so the perfect denim in between was not long enough to create a pair of jeans. Hope this makes sense!
-
I'm sure it's too late now, but what happened with those pieces of denim? Between Haraki, Giles, and everyone on this forum, perhaps we could brainstorm an idea to create something out of this denim. Hats, shoes, maybe some type of collaboration item with a leather goods company like wallets or something. Guitar straps! I'd love an IH guitar strap.

In for guitar strap. Great minds n all…
