Sugarcane 1947 fading – rustic color fading and price is attractive

SUGAR CANE denim has an established reputation for cost performance, but the fading supremacists want the best even if it costs 10,000 yen more. Especially in the latter half of the replicant denim boom, many people didn’t choose Sugar Cane denim because it lacked impact with its solid image. However, there were times when I thought that the color of the faded denim might be the most suitable for Levi’s. I bought a nicely worn-in 1947 model to check that out. Maybe the previous owner wore it just right, or maybe the beard is more natural. The price is 16,280 […]

WAREHOUSE DEAD STOCK BLUE – Is the new line denim that’s out of the over-specs?

There doesn’t seem to be any official release information from WAREHOUSE, but it seems that the 25th anniversary commemorative denim release will continue. I had thought that the anniversary denim was not as special as it has been lately, but this denim seems to be a separate line of denim, not a customization of parts. WAREHOUSE DEAD STOCK BLUE This information was taken from Earth Market’s shopping page. It is a “BLUE” created by “time. The “DEAD STOCK BLUE” created by the American climate. The inside of a general store in a ghost town, where time has stopped. The time […]

JELADO 301XX color fading record vol.04 1 year and 2 months

It’s been 14 months since I started wearing them. This is the fourth color fading report. The color is finally fading, and it’s becoming easier to match with spring and summer fashion. About 20 washes in 14 months. When I first started wearing them, I washed them about once a month, but after six months, I washed them in cold water every week or two, and I washed them with detergent about once every two months. Recently, I’ve also been staining the faded white parts with muddy water to fix the color. I’m trying to make the color fade to […]

Resolute resizing – dryer and hemming

I got tired of the tight feeling of wearing just the right size of RESOLUTE, so I bought the 711, which is a size up, just for revenge. I bought a size two inches larger than the previous one, assuming I would be hanging the dryer around. They are still in a big state overall, but I would like to follow the process of making them just the right size from here on through the tapered drawing of the hem width and shrinkage by the dryer. narrower hem width The waist is 711 with a 32 inch waist and the […]

Resolute’s greatest achievement is that it is just the right size and ages well in the dryer.

The concept of Resolute denim is very different from previous reproduction denim, and I think many people are anti-resolute. I also had a negative impression when I first picked up Resolute denim in a store. In the past, reproductions of denim, such as vivid color fading and unevenness of the fabric, gave us the pleasure of owning them as a finished product. Resolute is very different from these, the expression of the fabric is diluted, and the faded sample color remains light, so I thought it would be better to buy the original red ear. A few years later, I […]

RESOLUTE 711 color fading record 1 year and 6 months vol.01

As a person who is used to reproduction denim from the 90’s, I wasn’t really attracted to the color fading of RESOLUTE, except for the bite on the ears. I felt it was a bit deliberate, but I wanted to try it out, so I bought a used one that hadn’t faded too much. I’ve worn them for about a year and a half since then, so I’d like to record the color fading. Overview Purchased: December 2017 Price: 27,000 yen The most famous Risorto is the 710, based on the 66 model, but the 711 is based on the […]

LVC201XX Made in USA, Valencia Factory

LVC (Levi’s Vintage Clothing) 201XX made in Valencia factory, USA. The reason I bought them was because I didn’t really feel comfortable with the Japanese LVCs made with Kaihara denim, so I thought I’d try the American ones. The natural fading of the color, which is not worn in hard, is a nice touch. LVC is not suitable for adding whisker and “hachinosu”, so that is not what I am looking for in this denim. On the contrary, I loved this regular denim look without any expression. LVC 201XX Overview LVC (Levi’s Vintage Clothing) 201XX (Made in USA/Made in Valencia […]

LVC (Levi’s Vintage Clothing) 55501 Made in Japan Faded

I’ve been wanting to try these LVC (Levi’s Vintage Clothing) 55501 made in Japan. I don’t think it’s the closest to vintage because it’s the original, but I was curious about the natural look of the beard and the way the color fades in the knee area, which is different from the Japanese reproduction brands. However, the color seems to fade slowly. I was hesitant because it was not going to be crisp unless I went for a spirited bite (this is vintage style), but I found a good used one, so I bought it. I think this denim have […]

WARE HOUSE lot.1001 501XX model color fading/ageing

The classic Warehouselot.1001 has undergone several model changes, but I think this one is from the early 2000s. I bought them used and wore them a few dozen times. WAREHOUSE Fabric It’s the standard, 14 oz, and has a moderate roughness. Warehouse’s early models were also too rough and unique, but they are well-made staples, for better or worse. Rather than falling in lines, it’s more like falling in dots. It doesn’t have a strong stickiness, so I prefer to be able to wear it smoothly. And yet, the strong attaches on the ears are a nice accent. If the […]

Warehouse Dead stock blue 1001XX (1915 model) fabric feel/size/shrinkage/fading prediction

I guess I’m completely stressed out from refraining from going out. While I still have some denim to wear, I bought a pair of dead stock blue (DSB) 1915 models. I’d like to take a look at the fabric texture and parts of the garment as it has been one-washed. As you can see in the pull-out photo, the fabric has strong shrinkage and a grainy texture. Deadstock Blue 1001xx (1915 model) Overview This model is equipped with specifications that allow jeans to enter mass production as a full-fledged “industrial product. The fabric is “7.5 x 7.5 yarn count” light […]
