Tenue de Nîmes beglückt uns wieder mit einer neuen Jeans, die meiner Meinung nach sehr gut zur diesjährigen Spring/Summer 2011 Saison passt. Die Jeans läuft unter dem Namen “Naked and Famous” und ist auf 24 Paar limitiert. Aufgrund der Army Inspirations lässt sich die Farbe der Jeans einer Mischung aus einem verwaschenen Grün und Braun zuordnen. Der Schnitt ist eher Slim, jedoch nicht zu eng. Die Jeans gibt es im Tenue de Nîmes Online Store.
Tenue de Nîmes has timed up with the denim-heads at Naked and Famous for a limited run of 24 pairs of jeans in a 13oz green, rope-dyed army repro denim. With admirable attention to detail, a team of people have gone all out on this project. Specific attention has been paid to matching the shade of green perfectly. The mid-green color proved a particular challenge since the dye is very unstable, but the hard work has paid off, giving a beautiful and truly inspired color. The production manager of the mill is obsessed with vintage army materials. He has a jaw-dropping collection of old WW2 army fabrics such as uniforms, tents, tarps, bags from which the color for the warp of this particular denim was chosen. The pocket lining is made from a fabric called ‘Crusader’ and is made in Montreal. It is a rip-stop twill that is usually reserved for the shell of jackets worn by firefighters and military personnel. The jeans are exclusively for sale at Tenue de Nîmes for €219,90.
