What a bummer. I never had the stitching on any jeans break. Maybe I'm not hard enough with my jeans? I mean I do wear them until they get holes in the knees and I always stow my wallet and keys in the front pockets. But I never had any stitches break not even on cheap jeans.

I always bust cotton stitching, Poly core takes me a lot longer. G

How do you bust em up like that ?….never heard of poly-core....you flexing your denim knowledge now...respect !

Giles

Polycore has a central core of a filament or filaments of polyester which is then wrapped with coitton. It looks like cotton from the outside but is many times stronger. All IH stuff is sewn together with super-strong polycore - Haraki claims it to be the strongest he can source (and I have no reason to doubt that), occasionally he will use 100% cotton yarn for areas of construction/detail where super strength is not needed (arcuates for instance). Obviously, traditionally jeans were stitched together with 100% cotton yarn, but it does wear and bust pretty quickly. Some people love the fact that it does and many of the repro (sorry - tribute) jeans use cotton as it is more "traditional".

Yeah, I have been waiting to see an email sent out via their email newsletter that usually goes out after new shipments and what not. Really hoping that more info comes to be known once Kiya has them in stock. I got interested in this brand over a year ago but there really isn't much on the forums about this brand, so I'm hoping kiya brings about a change and flood of info about TSL

@Giles:

On the basis that Paula merely signed up to the forum to shut me up and obviously has no intention of viewing, let alone posting, here are most of mine, 2 or 3 pairs lost in the house somewhere.

Free T-shirt if someone can ID the lot!

I've got a bit of a thing going on with jackets at the moment too, I'll post a pic when I get a mo'

Okinawa
*kinda hard to see the date, but, because i see that giles does not really favor the taper of a 66 cut, i am guessing the 1947

sweet collection, Giles…did u already post evo pics of those IH jeans (bottom row, 2nd from right) ..they look like they've been doing construction and had a rough life .

deadendpro

Beatle

there's only 3 detail pics….maybe Giles can update them on evo ? That would be great

Dead. You want me to confirm or want to see if someone can get some of the other first?

Beatle

If the question was which Samurai is seen in Giles collection…

Giles

S5000WX

Beatle

S5000WX

DAMN IT!!!!! I KNEW IT WAS A 5000 CUT!!!!!!!!

lol, all good, i just wanted to see about how much of it i had correct..

Giles

Will check tomorrow. Quite a lot. But there were a couple of jeans in there that never made it to production, so unless you were me or Haraki, you were not going to get them all. But depending on how you did, I may decide to give you a T anyway. I will get my red pen out tomorrow…G
