www.weargustin.com/store/1240Was wondering if anybody had any experience with this type of denim? Had missed out on the summer blues, and was looking for a pair of medium/light blue denim.... These happen to look very interesting.... Is the price tag too steep, or are they on par with other cheese dyed material? Not loving the 11oz weight but, but love the color. thanks

and from here: Cheese Dyeing:
Special machineries are used to process yarn in cheese form. Cheese dyeing machineries are more sophisticated and automated when compared to the hanr dyeing machineries.
As said above, pretreatment of yarn in cheese form comprises of the following stages.
1) Gas Singeing and (2) grey mercerising has to carried out either from hank form or cone form. If the yarn is available in cone form, it is wound from one cone to another and in between the pasage length the gas singeing would be carried out.
2) Mercerisation is possible only if the yarn is in hank form.
3) Preparation of yarn in cheese form (Cheese Winding)ie., from hank or cone form it has to be convented in to cheese form using special winding machines. This is a very important stage in cheese processing. The package density of yarn over the cheese should be uniform throughout the length.
4) Scouring and bleaching. |

and apparently you "cheese wind" using a "cheese winding machine", but I'm out of time to research cheese dying for now.

They seem like they'd be a great alternative to canvas since it seems to retain dye so well. I hope some people put photos on style forum after they ship. |

I have the Gustin Natural Indigo and I don't see anything really special about it except they fade very SLOWWWWWWW. Just like another pair of Indigo jeans. I am thinking the cheese dyed will be similar. |

I am thinking the cheese dyed will be similar. The description seems to indicate this: "The result is more consistent color and a wear-in that's much softer and more subtle than most denim. You can see how the color gets richer as the fabric is worn and washed."Roman also indicated that natural indigo casts a greenish hue when fading, as opposed to synthetic (?) indigo that fades blue. |

lol....I already have enough cheese fumundame....don't need to add to it  All kidding aside, they look interesting. And an interesting story to boot, I'd like to learn more about this process. So I'm guessing these will resist the "sik fadez"...should be good for a dressier pair,or for the office, as far as the mention of the color gets richer...all my G's did that after the initial soak...I wonder if these will do the same, but keep the darker color thereafter. At 11 oz, they should be great for the spring/summer. I have the super lights, and loved them this past summer, although they did stretch more than my other pairs. |

Popped in my head earlier while I was stream of conscience typing over in G-Comm, but I was thinking how amazing these would probably be for a garment overdye. Something like a high quality deep saturated black, or maybe a dark green (I don't think the kakishibu would go well with that blue), and then as the overdye wears away you get that blue that gets stronger with wear. I think they'd be truly amazing for that, but I don't have $150 to throw at jeans just so I can stick 'em in a vat of dye. So if one of you patient rich bastards wants to steal my idea, I'd love to see pics. |
