Rogue Territory: Handmade Denim Goods

Dope. Which cut did you go with ? RgT shirts are definitely made for a thinner frame.

Oh the SK. Forgot to put that down. I haven't tried the Stanton.

Out of curiosity, why is a unique custom denim preferable to one of the Japanese mills? Is one better than the other?   

It's made by those Japanese mills. The indigo/dye is custom for just that brand

Holds up VERY well in the cold...wore it around NYC with just under 30 degree temps...thin sweater underneath...no chill whatsoever!

Nice, I might be getting one shortly

While I haven't soaked any of my Rogue Territory items in vinegar, I have soaked a couple of t shirts that I dyed in indigo myself as a little DIY at home project. I haven't lost any color on them yet but then again I'm not a professional and was only doing it for fun.

Pure vinegar? Or what ratio?

 

[meso]

You do not need to soak off the rack clothes in vinegar.
Is it me or has this urban legend experienced a resurgence lately?

So just a cold soak? What did Karl do with his isc?

Karl did a quick cold rinse then air dry outside. It'll knock out a tad of the bleed and set the color. It will also give the shirt a bit of a wrinkly feel. That may or may not be desirable to you.

I have a pair of brand new, unworn raw selvage 14.5oz SK's up on Grailed - but also interested in trading for some size 32's (with preferably less than 1 week of wear, though ideally also new). May also be interested in other RGT stuff - let me hear offers if you have them.

I'm surprised no one complains about the back pocket divet and not being able to easily slide your wallet in. An I doing something wrong? My wallet always snags that divet.

 

[brooks23]

Yea, not exactly sure of the point of it... but the pen pocket is one of those things I never knew I needed and couldn't do without until I had it, so I put up with it.

 

[andrewjamesdean]

I have the same issue

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL

I've used many different size wallets since I started making the back pocket this way have never found that my wallet got hung up or if it did, it never happened enough for me to question the way the back pocket is designed...maybe I've just perfected the draw.

Regarding the purpose - each lasso stitch (the design on the back pocket) is sewn on the pocket before the pocket is attached to the back panel. That space your wallet is getting caught in is necessary to achieve the clean aesthetic of the back pocket. If the lasso was sewn while the pocket was being applied the lasso would effectively sew down the pocket making the pocket opening smaller.

Hope that helps!
