let's make a dictionary with technical terms. there are many on Japanese sites and denim mill's sites with hundreds of terms. we should have our own here in English, in a separate thread but linked here. my English is not perfect so I think I shouldn't make it myself. I will post some links to existing dictionaries:

http://home1.inet.tele.dk/bcm/glossary.htm
http://denim-gallery.heavy.jp/denim-words/
http://jeanslabo.s33.xrea.com/
http://www.samurai-j.com/samurai/denim_dic.html
http://www.fabriclink.com/dictionary.html
http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=9640

I feel the Styleforum's Denim Terminology and Links topic is VERY incomplete, especially for people who already know a thing or two about denim. So I think we should make our own glossary.

Here is a list of terms:
http://wornjeans.atspace.us/glossary.html

I selected important words from those sites and made some descriptions myself. Please work on the descriptions, they are poorly written and incomplete. Add more words if you have any, and delete what you find unimportant. Should it be made in a new thread linked to this one? Maybe other people could also add to the descriptions?

You can get A.C.N.E. and Cheap Monday ($65!) at Seven New York along with a slew of other designer threads. I'm actually in search of a pair of Cheap Mondays for myself, and the owner of the store told me there will be more pairs up for sale by this weekend.

ALERT! the 45rpm denim repair link is broken since www.45rpm.jp updated their site: http://www.45rpm.jp/denim/detail.jsp?id=011

anyone have a web archive?

that link is heavily quoted here, and it is a shame that it seems to have vanished

HELP!!!
