"Irregular" products that occasionally appear when manufacturing regular products.
Usually, it rarely appears on the market,
Really rare for vintage items,
Irregular products with really minor differences come out.
Those who understand this by looking at it are quite familiar, but
I don't think I understand it in general.
The so-called "red ears" have red stitches at the seam of the denim.
This one has blue stitching on one side.
Well, the difference really doesn't matter,
Personally, these are the items that hit the spot.
The red ears are the edges of the denim fabric, so
To put it simply, so that you can see the edges of the fabric,
I hear that a red thread is threaded through it.
Perhaps something like this blue ear,
It is assumed that they used blue thread as a makeshift since they did not have red thread.
Although it is not certain whether it is true or false,
Vintage items are fun because there are really subtle differences.
Even if it is something that would be rejected if it were a current product,
For better or for worse, the standards are vague, so it's out in the world.
I love the relaxed atmosphere.
Even with watches, there were sometimes irregular items,
Such things quickly become expensive,
I think there are few chances to see it because collectors don't sell it.
This denim is 501 late 66.
A normal product in similar condition would cost around 30,000 yen.
I feel really stupid for buying it for more than double that price.
Whether you pay tens of thousands of yen or not for something like this thread depends on your personal values.
There doesn't seem to be an exact "standard" for vintage items.
That's why I have to find value myself.
The product never sees the light of day.
The price was really high, but
If I miss this, I'm sure I won't be able to meet you again.
I think it's stupid, but
If this world were to end tomorrow, I wouldn't want to regret not getting it.
I just made that choice...
That's what I keep telling myself.
