@Giles I think he meant the following version: 888 21oz ib (indigo/ black)

Yeah, sorry. I did wonder why the 21oz 888 was being talked about in the 888Dib thread. Turns out I can't read......

@Yoprst Probably even the thought of outsourcing was too much. Sounds complete opposite of what IH is all about.

I’m curious if it can be confirmed that Samurai and SDA are in fact being outsourced to China?

Didn't mean to hurt anybody's feeling. However, yes I am a sinner
Tell you what - never say never. Once there was used cotton from Zimbabwe, now it is from Texas... Money talks my friend, money talks. I am old enough to learn it's true. Hope nobody's feelings were hurt again.

Can not tell you for 100% sure abt Samurai jeans (though Nogami-san already hurt his fans feelings making his jeans totally facelees by removing tabs and arcuates), but SDA doesn't make secret of it. Check it out online for yourself.

@Yoprst I believe the use of cotton from Texas is because is was totally indistinguishable from Zimbabwe cotton, if not better and Zimbabwe cotton was giving a green cast to the denim and it’s been said Haraki does not like green cast denim. Nor do I, always been a redcast guy, so I’m loving the decision!

@Mizmazzle I looked SDA's Made in china products up and it seems it's limited to some graphic tees, embroidered jackets and hoodies... I think their selvedge denim products are still MIJ. Can't recommend them enough. Really like SDA.

@Yoprst you are the one that made the statement and then you tell people who question this they should look it up themselves. Very weird way to make a point.

@FlavourFade I’ve seen some really nice shirts from SDA I’ve been curious about. Kinda crazy that one of the Osaka 5 would outsource like that, even on some basic pieces.

Tell you what, as soon as I get my Blue Monster Denimio/SDA collab delivered I’ll take a nice fat zoomed in photo of the “made in Japan” part . Cmon now….
