yes, the staff will remove tags at the register. that's usually the case at most stores

I didn't know that. Why are they removed?

Interesting, I got few pair of pants bought in Kapital store before and all of them come with care tag (no price tag), I also got stuffs from Kapital web shop and non of them come with price tag some don’t even have any attachment tag, the only thing come with "Kapital" price tag is the stuffs I bought from authorized retailers that carry Kapital.

I just got my own pair of Century Carpenters in. They seems to be on the older end, with "CAPITAL INC." on the washtag rather than the updated "KAPITAL INC." Do your century carpenters also have the older washtags, or are they the updated ones?

Interesting, my black pair has KAPITAL INC on back pocket tag, I haven’t check my indigo pair yet but the tag is like super hard to read because of the indigo dye, I used to own a pair of sashiko duck fatigue (first pciture) and it also has KAPITAL INC in the tag. It could possibly that your pair from earlier season I used to own a pair of sashiko TH jeans (second picture) constructed with the same fabric that I know for a fact that it predate the century denim, but the tag is also difficult to see.

Let me guess it's a size 1 I think I saw the same pair on Japanese online market few weeks ago 🫣

Yes, haha. I'd been hunting for a pair for a while and scooped it as soon as I saw it.

I wonder if Kapital was prototyping Century denim by playing around with Sashiko stitched fabrics. Mine is definitely less rigid than the century denim I've previously owned, but it also looks like it's very broken in and has probably been through more than a few washes. I believe "CAPITAL" stopped being used around Kiro's entry into the brand, which was in the early 2000s.

I think so I came across few pairs of earlier possibly sample century denim and they also have the same diamond stitch pattern similar with these sashiko duck fabric pants instead of the honeycomb pattern using in the production century denim released to the public. Maybe @BandannAlmanac can provide some insight about this I believe he was around when Kapital started making century denim stuffs.

My band leader is Japanese and her family home is in Osaka. Did not know there was a Kapital store there-I haven’t been to Japan (yet). She was able to back order a pair for me, going to bring ‘em back to NYC when she returns at the end of August. We goin’ swimming in September!

Also-**** some of these Grailed sellers, literally ask a question about an item and they sneakily raise the price on said item. Snakes

i have 3 pairs of century denim now. no 123, no 5, and no 9. Really wish i had a matching jacket but that won't be happening anytime soon. What do you all wear with your century denim? Been considering picking up a regular denim jacket to go with all of them.

PS - Im looking for a no 9 jacket(size 3/46) if anyone has one they're trying to get rid of!

 

[helliF]

If anyone is selling a black bandana patchwork jacket size 5 (not the flannel) let me know. Missed out and only seeing 4’s online. Looking for a new one if possible, odds are slim but thought I’d ask here.

Just came across this interesting comment on Reddit, I checked some of my stuffs that have this type of reference number and the production years do match the first 2 digit numbers.

 

[grs]

Anyone ever hem their century denim?

 

[peachfuzzmcgee]

I did and I regret it to this day, it continued shrinking and now I have some ankle cropped pants. I let the hem loose and now just do a raw hem. I'm taller though but usually do 32 inseam
