[llvlaglne]

really hope these will be at selfedgeny on october 20th lol

They won't.  This is a collaboration between The Denim Vault and Iron Heart. IH UK is the only place other than TDV in Jakarta you will be able to buy them….

@Giles:

You wont lose a lot in the hem….3% of 7" or thereabouts is only 0.2"

same with the other measurements as well (thigh, knee, etc.)…?

[Giles]

The waist shrinks approx an inch, which is about 3% on a size 30 jean.  All other horizontal measurements will shrink by the same percentage…..

The patch looks tasty..

still thinking of going with the regular 21oz indigo denim or the sbg though! damn I can't wait

the 555 won't come in a tagged 35" waist right?...

[Giles]

They won't….

Finn mate I would suggest you the SBG thigh wise and because of the different and interesting fading potential of this fabric. I also think the denim on the SBG gives a bit more stretchwise, this is what I experienced with my BB SBG compared to the BB indigo but I may be wrong.
think you may pull off a waist 34 SBG pretty well without knowing all of your measurements man    of course the 21oz indigo and 18oz raw will be beautiful too for sure.

Don't want to seem nitpicky, but 21oz patch on 18oz denim?

[Giles]

Whoops, well spotted.  My fault, but I'll blame it publicly on Haraki…....

[Finn666]

davito - going to get both I think (one at a time though!) so SBG is first I guess…black is beautiful, even when it comes to clothing

[Dirty Denim]

Once u go sbg u never go back as they say

G, does this mean the patch on the next batch will be changed or left alone?

Thanks

[Giles]

Left alone.  I like cock-ups to perpetuate…..

Ha! Awesome!

Thanks G.

[Haralambos]

Hey G, is it a mistake that from the knee below and the rise is smaller on the raws than the 21oz version? How much stretch can we expect from the raws?

[Giles]

We measured the actual jeans, so the measurements are accurate….The raws will likely stretch back to pre soak measurements with wear....
