 superjunkie  joined: Mar 2006 posts: 1,694 rep power: 389   |  gap has raw, 'authentic japanese', selvedge jeans. im not talking about the morrisson one-rinse jeans that most of you have seen and/or tried on. this one is called the "gough", and its a slim straight leg. the denim is a little darker, and much more rigid than the morrissons. they felt thicker and stiffer than even my diors (which, to alot of you, isnt that rigid, but in my opinion, they were) and had this faint sheen to them. they dont have the two-tone selvedge like the morrissons, and they also dont have any of the factory pre-distressing across the back of the knees, or the hems. they're also cut a few inches longer than the stated inseam. all of the mannequins (both in the store, and merchandising lookbook) wear them cuffed up. they're sold on the racks that way too. im almost (99.999%) certain that they're raw. not just because the tag warns the buyer against sitting on light colored furniture, but because it also tells them that they should be washed "as infrequently as possible". i also took them in the fitting rooms and fucked around with a pair. i rubbed the denim against the white canvas tag on the inner waistband, and it turned very blue, along with my fingernails. and i dont know what its called when it looks like there is (or at least what i thought it looked like) selvage lining all around the inside of the waistband? but yea, it has that too. and it has japanese writing on it, and says in english right above, 'authentic japanese denim'. of course, they fit horribly on me. but then again, most men's jeans do. i just thought some of you would be interested in checking them out, since they're not available online. and because they're only $98! id probably like them if i werent a rail.

Gap has been producing selvage denim in their 1969 line on and off for about 10 years now. It's okay if you like the fit. Wait until the end of the season and you can get them for under 50 bucks. |
