Giles & Sascha "Get Creative"
-
It's a differentiator, some people will love it and others will not. Personally I think it's creative and adds an element of something special.
-
I wouldn't label it as pre distressing either, to me the process of pre distressing jeans is done without thought other than to make them appear worn, this is done as a concept to achieve something which has not been done before. Calling it pre distressing is like comparing silver selvedge to a cocktail dress, as in it fails to recognise the meaning of the feature.

This was my thought process. I love the patina that my duck vest hardware has got (see my icon to the left). I am lucky to live next to the sea and also spend time fishing in the tropics. So the patina I achieved may simply not possible for some of you, so I thought I'd let you have access to it if you wanted it. Of course, like everything we do, if you don't like it, no one is forcing you to buy it.

This is a warrant point I accept Giles. Giving the opportunity to experience something you probably never will due to personal circumstances.
But I don’t completely agree with Gav in seeing that it is not comparable to pre-distressing of whole jeans. And to reduce pre-distressing to simply a worn-in look is a bit disrespectful to many pre-distressers (you can also find in Japan) that give lots of thought in the design they want to achieve and how they get that effect in the end. Some of these guys are also very creative and passionate about what they do.Aaaaand: having combs on your calves and whiskers down to your knees is also only possible by buying pre-distressed jeans. An experience you can’t make on your own

man, I nearly forgot about him. Anyways, what happened to him (besides getting married)?
And I have to admit, his name slipped my mind -
Passionate and creative they may be, but it's simply not for me. Also they are the exception rather than the rule when it comes to the per distress process, the majority of which is being done by sweat shop labour using carcinogenic silicone powder, but I think you knew exactly what I was referring to

I dont really see it as pre-distressed i guess. I kinda look at em like MOP snaps or some knives that have a stone wash or tumbled finish. "Special" finish i guess lol. Giles could have easily just left a bag of them open on the boat while he fished and then they would be "natural". Regardless, its a very small detail that will prob look pretty cool.

I agree

Do the backs need to be distressed? Wondering if there's a structural integrity concern. They do look lovely though.

Haraki seems to like them. Google Translated, so needs some interpretation…..
It was also far Toka sample multiplied many times wash Toka samples clad, but things up here should you did not! This is a sample that has been marinated in sea of metal rivets Yara button of Iron! Rust has come out beautifully! · · It is pretty intense pain ... I do is because sea. But I wonder is because I think something cool! By the way, rather than Japan, the sea that took advantage is a sea of Portsmouth UK! So 's what I actually not that. What do you I want to using this at a later date also ...!
