IH-634S-GR - 21oz Grey Selvage Straight Cut Jeans

[Giles]

Haraki has been working on this denim for some time.  21oz, warp is sulphur dyed grey and the weft is enzyme dyed black (super back).  The end result is a denim with a dark grey face that will fade with time.  The first batch has just been completed, but we lost 40% in production, Haraki said there was "colour variation", I guess us mere mortals would not have noticed, but they were not good enough for the Big H.

We have initiated a new run, but this batch is super limited.  Will be here in about a week….

Wow great stuff Big H. and G. and respect that you completed the first batch taking such material losses into account.

does the fabric behave similar to BB SBG?

^^ If they do, I'm taking one  ::) & if they don't I'll take one as well

Possibly, we don't know…...

[davito]

^exactly Friday loving all this 634 cuts in various denim coming along

[davito]

Thx G. thats cool

@Giles:

…we lost 40% in production...

This makes me want to cry. Surely with that kind of loss rate, you guys can't possibly be making a profit on this run?

By the way, they look really, REALLY nice.

[Giles]

Actually it was 37.5% if that make you feel any better….

[gbougard]

I dont understand what the powers that be expect the fabric to look like when it is faded? Blue? Black? Grey?

[davito]

Maybe Black fades on grey or a mixture?

[Giles]

Well, as there is no indigo in the fabric we can rule blue out.  The Warp will fade the weft won't, so it will get lighter in colour with time.  But until it happens, we don't  know exactly what will happen.  You my friends are our guinea pigs…

[jacoavlu]

should be similar to sbg, same dye methods just a lighter shade on the warp on these, same weft

[Giles]

Yes.  Also depends how many dips H gave the warp in comparison to the SBG. And no, I do not know the answer….....

[davito]

G. awesome… and I just decided to go with these ones instead of the paraffin whites... ;-)) LOL LOL IH is so cool

[thomasnunnally]

lol…these would look great even if they didn't fade.  But, the texture of the denim in the photos looks really nice in this shade.

[Friday]

Do we need to pre-order on this one G? Or will it be enough to cater the masses ?  ::)
By the way will it be priced the same as the 634s

[Giles]

1. No
2. No, they will be more.  I buy so many 634S off Haraki, he gives me a super special cost…..

Pffft, anything less than 38% production losses isn't even worth mentioning…

[crisone]
