Why this is the most INTERESTING SELVEDGE DENIM I've seen in YEARS!

What we have here is the Blue Flame broken twill denim from Benzak. We have it in the B-01 and B-03 fit and we have it in the BDJ-03 style jacket. I’m excited to dive into these pieces for a few reasons...
But before all that. Let’s talk about broken twill. I have been meaning to cover this for a while and just haven’t had the opportunity. It’s not all that common.

Directional twill denim (left hand or right hand twill) have the potential for leg twist... But! The vast majority of denim is sanforized and during that process there is a step called anti skewing. This essentially removes the twist from the fabric, so you won't really experience leg twist unless the fabric is unsanforized. Note that anti skewing isn't perfect so there is a small potential for leg twist to still occur. With the invention of anti skewing, it essentially rendered broken twill denims obsolete. But it still carries its historical value and as an alternative to left and right hand twill denims. For denim lovers it's always nice to own a good pair of broken twill jeans.

I've been into denim for a while, but your channel pushed me into getting my first proper pair of raw denim jeans, and now I'm hooked... The more of these you do the more pairs of jeans I want that I cannot afford, it really is an obsession! Edit: Grammar and clarity

[@CeeAreDee]

Haha, I know what it's like. It is a slippery slope btu there are worse obsessions to have.

[@aristoddle8932]

Man, I know that his level of serious raw denim content is pretty niche, but I just saw your number of subs and views, and was completely blown away. You’re one of my favorite clothing based KZbinrs. It’s wild that you don’t have 6 digits of followers already. Thanks so much for what you do man

[@CeeAreDee]

Hey buddy. Thanks for your kind words. Super appreciate it. Yeah. I’ll get there in the end. It’s all about learning and consistency I guess.

[@trah666]

I have a freenote cloth type 3 jacket in a broken twill that i love. Its my favorite type 3. I love the way that they hid the hand warming pokets, it makes the jacket look extra clean and hits that old big e style of the type 3 from before they had the pockets. Then the boken twill hits that wrangler itch and for me its a perfect modern interpretation of a really classic design

[@CeeAreDee]

Steve. That’s the perfect way to put it. That wrangler itch 😂. Freenote do some great stuff, right!

[@anotherCGi]

Love that you kept the into music consistent but switched up the visuals - fun little surprise. 👍

[@CeeAreDee]

I need to film some more summer visuals for the intro. But summer hasn’t hit Berlin yet!

[@ilovehardcorepunk]

Really like that jacket. Reminds me of the Lee 91-b a bit.

[@CeeAreDee]

Yeah there’s some Lee vibes in there for sure. Just wait till you see next weeks video. You’ll love it.

[@JohnWilliams-dr6hi]

I had some broken twill jeans many years ago. I can't quite recall what brand they were though. Certainly haven't see it for years though. Excellent vid, thanks.

[@mr_glasses]

I love that jacket way more than I thought I would... shame I can't find it anywhere... oh well, maybe a slightly worn one will pop up some day. Thanks for your videos. Really enjoying what you're doing.

[@CeeAreDee]

What size are you. I’ll see if Lenn has any lying about.

[@mr_glasses]

@@CeeAreDee That would be amazing! Thank you! IF ( and I know that's a big if) the jacket has similar dimensions to their current jackets, I'd be about a large. But then I guess just taking the dimensions of their current jackets and translating it to this one could also work. :D

[@MoonMan1229]

Am I the only person obsessed with Wrangler Cowbut cut slims? Great for work but also they look sweet af when they fade. Broken twill too.

[@shovethedove]

ive got a pair of ecru pants from j crew of all places made with kurabo. really good quality

[@CeeAreDee]

Its the first time I’ve had a fabric from them. It’s really good!

[@duhcky3887]

what was the button shirt you were wearing in this?

[@jonathanpforr3844]

Its that time people!!

[@CeeAreDee]

Haha. Thanks buddy.

[@Operative30000]

Do these run true to size? Looking at the size guide the 29 measurements match those of my size 31 japan blues (which fit me perfectly). Seems like sizes run large.

[@caseclosed2519]

will these come back into stock

[@CeeAreDee]

Unfortunately not. Sorry.

[@ChangL_Rayray]

Benzak rocks!

[@CeeAreDee]

They do!

[@antoniobranco8005]

Cee Are Dee what is your opinion on durability? i have a passion for the 13,47,936 wrangler they are strong i dont know abot that selvedge kurabo broken twill ...thanks

[@TuneinR]

I have a broken twill from the swedish brand Indigofera.Produced in Japan and sewn in Portugal.

[@dennisnordlund902]

Indigofera is great, one of my favorite brands right now. I like that their clothes doesn’t just look like you’re cosplaying 50s.

[@TuneinR]

@@dennisnordlund902 from your name...you must be Swedish.I live there.

[@DrewDiddy7703]

Hey I found a deal on a pair of BDD 006 New w out tags, Size 33 but there isn’t a model Name or number hidden on them Anywhere, (from what I can tell). I know they came unwashed cuz they did shrink quite a bit aft a quick soak, Is there any way to tell what they are? A tag or number I’m missing?

[@GreenPois0n124]

Have you worn any of these for long enough to start getting fades? I have just started breaking in my first pair of blue flame BT B-01’s and can’t find a single picture of these jeans!

[@CeeAreDee]

I actually ended up returning the blue flame jeans in the end. It was a case of way too many jeans to fade at the time. I kinda regret it to be honest 😂

[@matteoponzano2228]

@@CeeAreDee non ho capito bene ... Hai restituito il Blue flame perché sbiadiva troppo? Ti chiedo questa precisazione perché l'ho acquistato 2 giorni fa... Grazie! Matteo

[@sflanr5705]

Yay broken twill

[@CeeAreDee]

It’s great stuff. Right!
