Lot 224-66B - DENIME '66' Mother Cotton Model - Black OW

The 66 model features a unique take on denim, utilizing a process that involves rope-dyeing the warp threads, originally indigo, with sulfur dyes. This innovation achieves a “vertical fading black denim,” a style that was not available in the 1980s. It is woven on the same GL3 loom as the XX series, ensuring a consistent level of craftsmanship.

The sewing specifications are derived from the "66 model" of the 1970s, capturing the authentic silhouette and lines of that era.

The "XX" series consists of denim raw materials made in the 1920s and 1930s. This project utilizes uncut threads from these vintage materials, incorporating brown cotton into the American cotton used at the time, based on Kurabo's analysis. The result is a faithful reproduction of the original shapes of the uneven threads. XX denim is employed to develop symbolic vintage setups representative of each era.

Fit Notes: Tommy is wearing a size 33 in this denim. He was able to wear his typical size without any real issues in the waist, even though it is specing a bit small in the charts. The extra room in the legs of this fit we would consider a classic straight allows you to basically get the waist right and go from there. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 33-34" waist, and his typical North American size is a 32.
