16oz Slubby Denim

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!

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

[Alex]

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

[neph93]

The reality is pretty frikkin tasty.

I may have to collect a 634 and 666 patch.  The crazy patch would be great also.  Plans to use it as a sticker?

[goosehd]

That crazy patch would be awesome for the type II that Steve is wearing.

Love the W placement on the pocket!!

This jeans in this image is not any of the 5 core cuts 

[goosehd]

You have my attention!  New cut??

[Giles]

ish

[Kasi]

@Giles when they due in.

Plan my buying list

Also about the patch as seen in the photo,
they fully sew, is that the plan so the belt go over the patch.

Thanks

The 5 core cuts will be Fall/Winter I would guess….

The one a couple of posts up will be sooner than that.  But I can't tell you anything about that jean yet.

The patch will be sewn on all 4 sides as per 17oz and 14oz jeans.  H feels that the lighter weight leather we use on those jeans is more appropriate for the lighter weight denims....
