18oz indigo weft/indigo warp - IH-666SII and IH-634SII

[Giles]

The first run will not use blue constructional threads.  I spent a long time discussing this with Haraki and Tom today.  Haraki's view is that anyone can make a pair of blue jeans look good if they are stitched in blue as it does not matter how shit the stitching is, it can't be seen.  Our stitching is good and that is important to him.  Tom's suggestion is that we use the same constructional thread as we use on the 634S, not the thicker thread we use on some of the more recent jeans, this will tome down the contrast.  I'll also one was the jean, which gives a little indigo bleed into the constructional threads…I have a pair here with one pocket stitched in blue and one stitched in yellow/orange.  I'll post pics soon.

On production we will reduce the gauge of the thread and we also one-wash "dirty" the thread up a bit.

Different colour arcs…. Fek, this looks awesome.

[Giles]

Only because we were trying to work out what constructional threads to use….

Ah,
Looks cool none the less…
If you're wanting to get rid of that sample with the practise arcs let me know
I personally think it looks awesome.

If I can get into them - I have them here but have not tried them on yet, I'll be beating them up shortly…..

@adam313:

Im guessing that it means it will take longer to wear them down, which is good.

Possibly, but we are going to use the same gauge threads as the IH-634s and we don't have a lot of trouble with them….

Understood!

[JCar2666]

This is just my opinion.  I like the look of the blue stitching better because it's different.  With the normal yellow/orange it looks like the same old.  If you're gonna go indigo/indigo why not make it even more unique and do blue or indigo stitching.  I like the idea that it will fade differently with all the above applied.

[JamesMarg]

When you see these up close im assuming they will be completely different from same old!

[JCar2666]

^Haraki is the master.  I have no doubt these will be amazing

I really like the look of the blue arcs. I agree with Jcar and think these should be a lil dif from the others considering how special the denim is. Maybe even gold stitching but have  blue W and arcs? Oh and a blue patch? Might be pretty badass

@Giles:

I will dream of Tom holding these jeans up in all blue tonight.  With a red W of course.

[Josh James]

Damn son. A gold W and blue arcs would be sick

if i like the measurements of the production run, i def. going to jump on a pair…that is if the stitching is blue  and by blue i mean blue all the way!
ok, maybe keep that horizontal stitching of the blue pocket bag in the lighter colored thread! should give a nice contrast (inkl. a blue or red W) and would just scream "business"...
the lighter thread (= true religion type = fashion brand ^^ ) is  just looking cheap IMO and since these are blue all the way (warp and weft) the lighter blue stitching is contrast enough.
these would be great to wear to the office...not so much with lighter colored thread though!

would be nice to see these going down that route, but let's wait and see what H and G are coming up with for production!
thanks for sharing all the pics with us G-San!
