    Uniqlo to buy Gap?

    This speculation goes as far back as 2006 if I remember correctly. You'll see an early 2007 Reuters blurb about this. http://www.reuters.com/article/hotSt...28039820070118 Not saying it won't happen but note that it is not the first time this has come up.

    Crate vs. Farinelli: The Official Jeans Thread

    Hey Mauro I am so excited this project has come to fruition. I cannot wait to see the construction details in person. This jeans sounds like it truly pays homage to the unique fading properties of indigo--many things fade but none like indigo. The hardware fading, for example, will offer great...

    Mauro...are you still able to get a hold of the "Denim Encyclopedia" they put out two or three seasons ago? It is smallish and leather bound if I recall correct. It's not very good, reference wise, but I'm a bit of a completist in this area. I am only missing that and the Martelli book in my...

    Tokyo Eye Japanese TV on Denim Starring BIG

    "solution rubbing?" I am told this process does not physically destroy the yarns like sanding (especially sandblasting) would. It simply (not so simply actually) removes the indigo. Found a few more examples on their website's gallery. I had never seen that type of distressing before. It...

    Loom chatter is best described as being a visual characteristic of the fabric, usually in the fill direction, that is a direct result of the fill (weft) yarns not being woven in precisely and consistently. The modern looms are much more precise and accurate. To mimick some of the loom chatter...
