FAQS ABOUT THE JEANS
Why is the worth proven as €250 €180?
That’s a good query. And it’s not meant as a gimmicky low cost.
€250 is what denims of this high quality and building would sometimes retail for. Made in Europe from premium Italian denim, with the form of particulars you usually solely see on enthusiast-level denims. That’s the reference level.
However as a result of Weirloom works in another way—pre-order solely, small batch, no middlemen—I can provide them for €180 as an alternative.
The explanation I present each costs is just that I don’t know a greater, clearer approach to talk that distinction. This setup is the best means I can present you what they’d usually price—and what you’ll really pay.
Which measurement ought to I get?
You don’t want to select a measurement if you pre-order. When you add the denims to the cart, you’ll see it says “Decide your measurement later.”
That’s as a result of the complete measurement vary and the grading of every measurement haven’t been finalised but. Solely measurement 31 has been prototyped. And till the match is 100% confirmed, it doesn’t make sense to share measurements for different sizes.
I’ve added full measurements for that prototype to the product web page. So if you wish to get a way of how they’ll match, I like to recommend checking these out.
As soon as every little thing is locked in, I’ll attain out to everybody who’s pre-ordered to assist select the proper measurement—and, in fact, I’ll share measurement steering and detailed measurements charts on the product web page..
You’ll in all probability have to measure a pair of denims you already personal and evaluate that to the ultimate sizing chart I’ll ship. I’ll information you thru the method personally to be sure you get the absolute best match.
Additionally, simply to make clear: the sizing relies on Western manufacturers—not Japanese. I’ve accomplished that to make it simpler and extra intuitive for most individuals to seek out their measurement.
How heavy is the material? Are they stiff?
The denim is 14.25 oz., which places it proper in that candy spot—heavy sufficient to really feel substantial, however not so heavy that they’re a ache to put on.
And no, they’re not that stiff. The denims are washed as soon as after stitching, so breaking them in is simple. You’ll nonetheless get stunning fades over time, however with consolation from day one.
So will they fade?
Sure. You’ll completely get fades.
Although the denims are one-washed to melt them up, they’re constituted of a denim that fades superbly with put on.
The denim is from Candiani in Italy, dyed utilizing their proprietary Indigo Juice methodology. It’s a contemporary tackle slasher dyeing that places extra of the indigo on the floor of the yarn—which implies it fades quicker and with extra distinction.
Plus, the denim has some seen texture and slubbiness, which helps create the form of fades we denimheads search for.
FAQS ABOUT THE PRE-ORDER
Will my card be charged immediately?
No. While you place a pre-order, your card gained’t be charged—and the cash gained’t be held or reserved both.
You’ll enter your fee particulars to finish the pre-order, however the cost gained’t undergo till the denims are able to ship. That’s after I’ll manually verify and accumulate the fee. Till then, it simply sits as a pending order on my finish.
In brief: no cash leaves your account till the denims are on their approach to you.
Can I cancel my pre-order earlier than the denims ship?
That’s no drawback in any respect.
For those who determine to cancel your pre-order earlier than the denims ship, you are able to do so simply and without cost. Simply discover the affirmation e mail you acquired from Purple Dot (the system dealing with the pre-orders) and click on the cancel hyperlink. That’s it. No fee, no problem, no onerous emotions.
You’ll additionally hear from me instantly earlier than the denims are able to ship—so that you’ll have loads of time to ask questions, get sizing assist, or change your thoughts if wanted.
When will the denims ship?
If every little thing goes in keeping with plan, the denims will ship by the tip of June. That’s the schedule confirmed by my manufacturing companion in Portugal, and we’re working onerous to maintain it on monitor.
I’ll hold all pre-order prospects up to date alongside the best way.
Can I return the denims if I alter my thoughts after they ship?
Sure. Identical to any on-line buy, you’re entitled to return the denims inside 14 days of receiving them. That’s not only a coverage—it’s the legislation below Danish e-commerce laws.
These aren’t made-to-measure or customised denims. They’re made in normal sizes, so regardless that they’re produced on a pre-order foundation, they’re nonetheless eligible for returns. No questions requested (although I’d love your suggestions for those who determined to return them).
What in the event that they don’t match? Can I change to a different measurement?
Match is a giant deal. And regardless that I’ll assist information you the very best I can to select the proper measurement earlier than the denims ship, there’s all the time an opportunity you’ll have to change them for an additional measurement.
That’s why I’m holding again a couple of pairs from the preliminary 100—to verify I can deal with measurement swaps. There won’t be each measurement accessible in each amount, however I’ll do every little thing I can to be sure you find yourself with the proper match.
Are there actually solely 100 pairs?
Sure. This isn’t a advertising gimmick.
100 is the minimal order amount my Portuguese producer was keen to provide—and it’s beneficiant, actually. Most factories require a lot bigger runs, however they consider within the thought and wished to help the launch.
There’s no secret stash ready within the wings. I’ve already purchased the denim, and it’s already on the manufacturing facility in Portugal. As soon as these 100 pairs are spoken for, that’s it for this primary version.
Will there be extra later?
Sure. That is just the start. I’m not planning to make solely 100 pairs and name it a day—this is step one in what I hope will develop into one thing lasting.
That stated, this primary batch is a uncommon alternative. I used to be fortunate that the denim I wished was accessible in simply the correct amount for 100 pairs. Future manufacturing would require me to order sufficient cloth for at the very least 500, which implies the subsequent pre-order will seemingly be larger. Nonetheless restricted—however not fairly this unique.
So sure, extra will come. However there’ll solely ever be one First Version 😉
When is the order deadline?
Quickly. To maintain issues on schedule for that end-of-June supply, I want to shut the order window earlier than the tip of Might.
And simply to be clear: there are solely 100 pairs (included those I’m holding again for measurement swaps). As soon as these are spoken for, that’s it for this batch. So if you wish to safe a pair from the very first Weirloom run, now’s the time.
If any of those solutions helped you are feeling extra assured about Weirloom—or if they only made you extra curious—you may see the denims and pre-order your pair beneath.
