Is the japanese word for 'opening' a lot like the word for 'closing' ?  Google translate seems to be making that switch on Boss Talk.

@Giles:

Not the Press, but here is a really good analysis of Japanese Denim.

Thanks for hosting this Giles.

I'm Kevin, the author of this paper.  Hopefully it's accessible to everyone, I'm a managerial economics major and did this year long research as a side project.  It was weird doing research in the humanities/social sciences and I have to admit the lack of math, graphs, and charts made this difficult for me since my brain has been wired as an economist.

I would really appreciate any feedback/constructive criticism.  Thanks!

Is this paper still around? Would love to read it.

Thank you. Looks like a great read!

UPDATE POST READ: Yeah, it was an enjoyable read. Reading through the lens of out-side in, and exploring the edges/depth of the industry when compared against an authenticity framework  :-*.

So according to the link above Haraki is planning to do more with Kyia's specially designed 23oz.  Care to fill us all in on what that may be G?

[Giles]

Haraki is not planning to do anything with it.  Kiya commissioned the denim and we gave Self Edge exclusivity for that fabric. Kiya may have/has some plans for it, but it is not my place nor Haraki's to discuss them.  Not trying to sound like a prick, but I really can't discuss a customers production/marketing/sales plans/strategy.

[JCar2666]

Not sounding like a prick at all.  I clearly read the article wrong.  And all points made are taken.

[jacoavlu]

the collab denims (almost) always show up in another form because the minimum amount for a run of a new denim is generally too much fabric to be used up in one collab jean, which of course are done in limited numbers and tend not to be re-run. the 19oz sexih07 denim later became a jacket and was used in a 301 cut and then in the sexih16. the sexfhxrjb15 denim is now being used in other rjb cuts. the sexih13 23oz collab denim of course was used in a jacket and a 634 cut for the seny popup shop. as to whether that denim is all used up or not, or whether kiya would commission another run, well you could ask kiya…
