@Oaktavia they’re considered loopwheel shirts; the slub is just a feature that emerges
-
@mclaincausey ah, I think I understand now. So less prominent slubs for example, compared to the slubby flannels or denim. Rather, the shirt has a subby like texture from the loopwheel process...right?
-
Yeah—“slub” wasn’t describing a special fabric, just a characteristic of this particular shirt’s 7.5oz Wakayama loop wheeled fabric that has emerged as it’s aged.

@Lowlander wow 500 is amazing...makes me miss my old pair but I know I wouldn't fit in them. Yours look amazing!!!
-
You know you're a denimhead when belt loops looks amazing!
-
Cheers, guys! The goal is to get another 500 wears out of them. Should be possible, the way they they've been holding up so far. But it will take a few more years.
-
@Lowlander wow!
-
@Lowlander whooo doggies!!! That’s freaking rad as hell. Maybe I do need some IBs!

They are definitely a lot fun to fade, with very quick rewards!
-
@Lowlander Wow they sure are epic.
-
@Lowlander any soaks or washes?
-
@Vintagedenim yes, an initial soak and 4 or 5 machine washes, usually after every 100-120 wears or so.

little update on my 666 21L , definitely one of my all time favorite jeans.
