For this pair of jeans, we've referd to the vintage piece from the late 60's when the commercial network started to get organized. At the time, jeans were about to be made for the casual use, not for the work use anymore, which later sparkled the boom of jeans as fashion icons, spreading from the east coast of the US, centerd on New York.
The silhouette is a slim straight cut with with strong tapering
We use 42 Talon for the fastener, dead stock.
→Now we use Gripper Zipper since we are out of stock for Talon.
We've even ordered the warps and the wefts exclusively for TCB to make this fabric.
The characteristics of the fabric are as follows.
- Lighter indigo color, the irregular tinge in indigo brought by its slubby threads
- The fluffy surface. You can feel that the jeans started to evolve to become fashion items from work wears just by having a look at the fabric because they no longer needed the deep indigo color to prevent the pants from oils, dusts or stains.
According to the fabric weaver TCB partners with, the fluffs on the fabrics can not be controlled at all by how the fabric is woven but only by the quality of the cotton used. To make the ideal fabric for this jeans, we have selected the San Joaquin Cotton.
Some noticeable features of this cotton is that they are naturally more fluffy than any other types of cotton so that when they are spun to make threads, it makes the perfect fluffiness that I imagined the best for this pair of jeans.
Both the warps and the wefts are yarn count 7, making it approx. 13OZ fabric range. Why am I describing it as approx or 13OZ range?
The yarns themselves are so slubby so that the fabric weight is of course unstable even in one roll of the fabric (50m). Therefore, I personally wanted to describe it that way.
