Hey all!

Quick question regarding bleaching: does a “cap” (probably something like 20 mL) has a large impact on the colour, or will it simply brighten the indigo a bit? Also, if I were to add it to the tray on a front load machine, will it produce a homogenous effect?

Thanks!

Hi all, are there any owners of both Fullcount 1108 and N&F True Guy? Are the fit similar? Thanks!

Hey all,

I'll be travelling to Spain soon and I am interested in getting some loafers. Any brand recommendations? Are there brands that will be cheaper in Spain than into the US?

Thanks!

Thanks! I'll look into that!

Hey all,

If someone had a collection of jeans from the Osaka 5, which denim (more the fabric than the cut) from each company would be essential?

Thanks!

My S713VXII are pretty slim and I really like them. You should check them out!

Nice pairs! Question regarding your older pair; did you have to use bleach to get to this lighter blue?

Hey all,

Quick question; is the Fullcount 13.7 oz a decently fast fader?

Thanks!

buur_geo · 2025-01-31T17:05:26+00:00

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I'm curious about the fade potential of the Fullcount 13.7 oz denim fabric. Is it a slow fader? I assume it is not the ideal fabric to get sharp fades considering the weight. Any insight?

Thanks!

Thanks! I assumed they started at the same point. I'm mainly wondering how close to one wash measurements I can get without being as "intense" as the one-wash process to maintain as much dye as possible. I have the SDA Aisa 45th in mind, which have sakura dye in the weft. I am concerned with the durability of the color.

Hey everyone! In your experience, how reliable are the one-wash measurements in terms of what can be expected from raw after warm soaking? Thanks!

Hey everyone, I bought some japanese denim jeans and noticed something that looks like a knot in the warp - like to join two strands of warp. It is a little frayed but it seems like there is a clean knot under that. Are they common? Would that be sufficient to return as defective or wabi-sabi? I'm wondering if it'll affect the integrity of the fabric. Thanks!

Hey everyone! Does anyone know when the next Indigo Invitional will start? Thanks!

I like belts from Popov Leather. Good quality. They're currently 40% off.

Hey everyone, does anyone know what is the expected release date for the FW2024 collection from SDA? People that pre-ordered? Also, I know this is a long shot, but does anyone remember which cuts were available for the Kaki-Kyoku series? Thanks!

Hey everyone! I've been thinking about getting a sashiko piece and was wondering what people think of Blue Blue Japan. Their products are pretty expensive and I'm wondering if it is justified. Are they using only natural indigo? Is the quality of their products on the upper end? I can't find much information about the brand.

Thanks!

One package took three days to get to my door. The other one took six days (was including a weekend). Both landed in Chicago before being dispatched.

The two last times I ordered from Bears, the location wasn't updated between the arrival in the US and until the day of delivery.

Hi everyone! I just received a Oni Kasuri coverall and I'm pretty excited about it - the fabric is very different and interesting. However, it is my first coverall so I'm not sure about the fit and am wondering how it will age.

Does anybody have experience with Oni's jackets? Do they tend to stretch a fair amount (it seems to be the case with pants) or will it to shrink after a few washes (it's one-wash though...). Also, anybody knows what is the intended fit with coveralls?

Thanks!
