16oz Slubby Denim

@Nkwkfld:

Cool. I'm curious, how does sampling work? If the team can ever use an extra pair of legs I would be happy to volunteer!

We need to sample just about everything we make.  To check dimensions, construction etc etc.

We like people who are actually going to wear the shit out of the samples and document progress, as per @neph93 with the SST's, otherwise, it's a complete waste of time.

I'll DM you….

Okay, slubby denim and IH over engineering?
Not since Nelson split the line of battle at Aboukir Bay to defeat Brueys d'Aigalliers or Mink DeVille did the Cadillac Walk has there been such excitement 'round this house.  Okay, so maybe those two things are not like the other thing but this stuff rocks my boat.

Some fits of the Type II…

The 666 & 634 definitely have my interest. These look FANTASTIC.

Jacket really looks great,especially in the natural light in front of the gray wall. Just need the sleeve measurement to work out.

That Type II looks like you could read it…

Truly a magnificent denim. I’m looking forward to buying the slub tux. I’ll be channeling my inner Martin Sheen in Badlands!

That's just lovely.

Would this be considered slubby AND neppy?  I'm seeing a lot of white dots in there but I guess I'm not entirely sure what neppy means.

From what I can see, that's exposed weft @Paul9221 . Nep is when there are little fluffy pieces of cotton trapped in the twill. Nep eventually rubs off. The irregularity of slub here is exposing weft to create this effect.

Yeah, I think you're right. Nep seems a lot more irregular while this is more patterned.  Good observation!

Little bit of indigo transfer

The crazy idea:

• The vertical fading characteristic of slub denim is also known as Tate-Ochi, or “vertical falls”, in Japanese.
• Illustration of a waterfall (a reference to the vertical falls), then label the patch スラブ
• IRONHEART at the top but intertwined in the scene

The reality

スラブ is katakana for su-ra-bi, or slubby

[neph93]

The reality is pretty frikkin tasty.
