24oz Selvedge Special Edition
(January 2010)
This jean is a technical masterpiece. The fabric is almost impossible to weave. The looms shake and chatter and have to be closely monitored and adjusted as production runs. The filler yarns load up the shuttle to be so heavy that each pass of the weft is an amazing challenge.
After the fabric is done, we sent it to an amazing niche sewing factory in San Francisco, where they are crazy enough to agree to sew up these jeans for us. The sewing was a great challenge as well… The weight and rigidity of the denim is unprecedented and threw off the calibration of every machine. The in-house mechanic had to sit by each operation to fix or adjust each machine after every 2 or 3 pairs! Some of the sewing staff was actually brought to tears due to the tough and non-pliable fabric. (everyone is ok now :-))
Finally, we found the thickest leather we could get out hands on for the leather patch. But normal sewing machines could not sew it on the jeans! So, we found a friend in San Fran who manufactures leather golf bags, we borrowed his machines and sewed that patch right on! Enjoy!
