Sugar Cane Garrison Belt

. No comments.

I’ve had the Sugar Cane studded garrison belt for four years now, and the fit is perfect, so I thought I’d get another, but without the studs. Here they are side by side for an interesting comparison.  Both belts were originally the same colour. Both belts are 36 inches, but it’s interesting that the old [...]

Top Ten Jeans for Men

. 2 comments.

This GQ Article listing the Best Jeans for Men made me want to puke. Kids these days need a bit of guidance. I’m a bit reluctant to do something like this, but here’s the Indigofan Top Ten Jeans. Actually it’s not a Top Ten list. It’s just a response to the GQ trash. Prices are [...]

Some iPhone pics of the Enishi Yoshi denim.  At this light angle you can see the horizontal texture in the weft.  These are on high rotation.

Evisu Heritage Bluff Seam

. No comments.

The Drinkin’ and Dronin’ blog has a feature on the Evisu Deluxe Heritage line http://drinkinanddronin.wordpress.com/2009/03/30/factory-feature-for-the-evisu-heritage-collection/ These jeans have more detailing than I was aware of. I didn’t understand the “bluff pocket seam” description, but a bit more googleing got me there. http://www.fashion-incubator.com/archive/bluff_pockets/ The pocket is sewn on from the inside, as I believe you can [...]

Eternal 811 – full length pics

. No comments.

Someone was asking for full-length pics of the Eternal 811s. I just gave them a wash, so here are the pics. I only washed them a couple of times for the first two years, but now the washing is quite regular. No brushing technique. The contrast is pretty high, so washing will tone it down [...]

Enishi Denim: Yoshi

. No comments.

I’d say these are the nicest jeans available in Australia. Enishi. They’re available at Aika in Sydney, and Chiodo in Melbourne. No backpocket rivets. Very slubby. Nice texture! Currently discounted at the Aika store.

Repairs

. No comments.

Last week I made some repairs to the Eternals. I should’ve taken pics before the repairs, but I’m getting lazy with this blog. Hah. Here’s the result. The seat had a crease which was starting to wear through, so I used a swatch of denim on the inside and just sewed back and forth. The [...]

Flathead 3001

. No comments.

So, I only bought one pair of denim jeans in Japan. Flathead 3001. I got these from Americaya in Ueno. http://www.rakuten.ne.jp/gold/americaya/ I’m hoping they’ll be a bit like the Eternal 811s. I put my Japan photos up on Flickr. You can check them out here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/indigofan/sets/72157615620128790/detail/

Eternal 811 – second wash and repairs

. No comments.

I’ve been using my experimental clean-by-brushing technique to keep my jeans away from water. It works well, I think you should try it. I think this method has given me more than six months of extra wear out of these jeans prior to each wash. I had a few repairs to make. My keys wore [...]
