Diesel – Behind The Denim Ep. 7

by

denim

As a follow up to our recently featured interview with Andrea Rosso, let’s talk about the latest episode of Diesel’s “Behind The Denim”. Don’t fall apart – watch below:

This episode leans into Diesel’s commitment to denim longevity and circularity, showcasing how durability is essential to reducing fashion waste. Episode 7, “Don’t Fall Apart”, offers a behind-the-scenes look at Diesel’s commitment to quality and sustainability, demonstrating how thoughtful engineering goes hand-in-hand with eco-conscious fashion.

“Welcome back to Season 2 of Diesel: Behind the Denim, our mini docuseries devoted to uncovering the creativity, craft and commitment that is guiding us towards a circular future.. In Episode 7, Don’t Fall Apart, our fearless host Lea Ogunlami joins OTB Sustainability Ambassador Andrea Rosso in the Diesel Lab to get an education in denim quality control.”

The Diesel Lab is stocked with state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that each pair of Diesel jeans can withstand a lifetime of wear and tear.

A spectrophotometer is used to crosscheck the color of each swatch against the standard color sample to guarantee uniformity, while a dynamometer tests fabric strength and elasticity.

Then there are Diesel’s definitive construction techniques for denim resistance: triple stitched seams, pockets reinforced with super strong shoe thread, double belt loops and a lined waistband are all key to holding each silhouette’s shape and preventing rips in the wrong place. No one wants that.

First Look at the Piger Works x Indigo Invitational F2F20

by

We Got Close Enough to the Red-Hot PW x II F2F20 to Singe Off Our Eyebrows

It was a given that, at some point, The Indigo Invitational would release a collaboration pair.

Over the last six years, the world’s largest denim fading competition has joined forces to produce competition tees and bandanas, but, until now, we’ve never put our name on any selvedge.

We didn’t want to just slap the competition name on a label and call it a day. We wanted to work with a brand to engineer a brand-new made-to-fade selvedge—something made by the competition and for its competitors.

The first pair landed on my doorstep just a few days ago, and I wanted to share the first close-up look with you all here on Denimhunters. Spoiler alert: the pair is an absolute scorcher.

Already convinced? Pre-order your pair here.

Close Up with the F2F20 Selvedge

The selvedge (designed in Thailand but woven in Japan) features an intoxicating mixture of blue and orange tones—the result of a marriage of indigo-dyed warp yarns and soil- and bark-dyed weft yarns.

For the warp, Piger Works used the same yarns that they developed for their legendary fast-fading Master of Fade selvedge.

A secret weapon among Thailand’s passionate fade enthusiasts, this selvedge has an impressive track record of success in the competition.

Faded MoF Selvedge: One of two Piger pairs that cracked the Top 10 in Y4

The weft yarns were developed especially for the F2F20. They’ve been dyed with a combination of rosewood bark and volcanic soil from the northeast part of Thailand.

As natural complementary colours, the rich orange and deep indigo tones play off each other and will fade beautifully together.

Tipping the scales at just over 20 oz., the selvedge is right in that sweet spot where you can expect eye-catching contrast fades without breaking your back to get them.

The denim looks and feels heavy, and it’ll fade like only heavy selvedge can, but it won’t grind the backs of your hands or knees until they’re bloody and raw.

If you’ve never tried anything this heavy, the F2F20 will be an easy introduction to the world of heavyweight selvedge. If you’re a scene veteran, they’ll be a walk in the park.

Cutting and Trimming: The New F2F20 Fit

Initially, the Indigo Invitational x Piger Works F2F20 was available for pre-order in Piger’s two flagship fits: the No. 5 (low-rise straight) and the No. 5S (low-rise slim straight).

It’s still available in these cuts—a great choice for motorcycle riders or high-octane stylers.

The F2F20 are available in the No. 5S cut pictured here

I’ve been exploring (and enjoying) higher-rise pairs for the past year or two, and, for this release, I wanted to develop a new cut for Piger Works based on what I’ve tried and enjoyed. 

I tried to create an approximation of how mid-century shrink-to-fit pairs fit after their first wash. The result is a slimmed-down high-rise fit (No. 5SH) that somehow feels both classic and modern.

Piger’s newest fit: No. 5SH (Slim High)

Fastening comfortably across the top of the hips, the No. 5SH follows the line of the thigh, leaving plenty of room for comfort and movement.

They taper slightly from there, losing around an inch from the knee to the opening, which is wide enough to work with just about any kind of footwear.

The high rise lifts the pocket openings higher on the waist, which makes them easier to access and use—a welcome change for fans of low-slung and slim-fitting selvedge who’ve grown tired of rubbing the backs of their hands raw on new pairs.

While the cut is generous, it is not baggy anywhere. It’s snug where it should be, loose where you want it to be.

If you feel (as I do) that you might be outgrowing low-rise slim cuts, this cut might be a revelation for you.

The size charts for all of the cuts are available here.

Important: Piger Works uses a true waist measurement, which measures around the waist rather than side to side. There are directions for how to measure on the fit guide. 

Closing Thoughts

It seems somehow fitting that Thomas and I are both stepping into new territory this year. I’ve put the Indigo Invitational crest on a pair of selvedge for the first time, and Thomas has started his own brand.

We’re both rooting for each other, and we’re both proud of the pairs we’ve managed to produce (in our own, very different ways).

If you’re looking for a bold and heavy pair that can make a splash in Y5 of the Indigo Invitational, the F2F20 fits the bill.

I’ll be wearing my pair from Flag to Flag, and I’m hoping to see a few of you running beside me, wearing the Invitational colours on your cuff and hip.

How will the blue and orange change and mix over the course of the competition? Will this red-hot pair produce dynamite fades? I think so, but I hope you’ll join me on the starting line and find out for yourself. 

Get the Piger Works x Indigo Invitational F2F20

You can order your pair here. The pairs will be going into production the last week of this month, so they should arrive well before the flag drops on September 1st.
