It is now the Awakening of Insects in 2025.
What is Keichitsu?
This is the time when insects that have been hibernating for the winter start to emerge from the soil.
There are still cold days,
We are finally freed from the cold that makes us clench our teeth.
So, as always,
Live coverage of Sakemaru's side job at Shinmei Farm. 
finally!
The broad beans have bloomed in great numbers!
I'm so happy!
This year there was no particular damage from aphids.
There have been no problems with successive crops!
It looks like we'll have a big harvest this year!
At about the same time as this good news,
One of Dry Bones' main products,
We have received a report that DP-562 has arrived.
So today's Sakemaru blog is,
Let me explain our standard products.
Here is the DP-562 that has been restocked!
Gene Engineering denim pants. 
So-called,
Dry Bones' classic jeans .
By the way, the name "Gene Engineering"
That is...
It is a play on the English translation of the word "gene," "GENE."
GENE ENGINEERING is genetic engineering,
Jean Engineering: Genetic engineering of denim pants
That's why. 
This is the back style.
The classic 5-pocket design.
A close-up of this pocket stitching... 
This stitch represents genetic engineering.
It depicts the double helix of DNA .
Here are my personal belongings:
I will explain using a sample of DP-562 that has been worn for about three years. 
A majestic used sample.
The way the beard grows is really amazing (self-praise). 
I often ride motorcycles, cars, and bicycles,
The color fading is most noticeable around the buttocks.
Here's the part I personally like the most:
Back center offset belt loops. 
(Sorry for the out-of-focus photo)
What is an offset?
This means that it is attached off-center from the center seam.
Until about the 1950s,
Avoid thick overlapping seams.
There are many pieces sewn like this.
Also, the center of the loop is the most faded.
this is,
When folding both ends and sewing,
So that the center is the thickest
This is because the sewing machine is set up specifically for loop stitching.
Here are some of my favorite parts,
Coin pocket. 
Just this pocket
The color fades sideways.
The reason for this is... 
This is because I want to use the edge of the fabric for the pocket opening .
Including improved durability,
From the idea of using fabric without waste,
This is the only part we use our ears for.
The side seams are the selvedge of the fabric,
In other words, using selvedge. 
This part is the same as the vintage,
We use selvedge to avoid wasting fabric...
This is because we use the same narrow fabric (approximately 80cm wide) as we did back then.
Why such a narrow width?
This is because it is woven on an "old-fashioned power loom."
The current fabric, shirt fabric, is 110cm wide,
For outerwear fabrics such as wool, a width of 148cm is the norm.
A certain famous denim manufacturer today,
We make jeans using denim that is 152cm wide.
Such wide fabrics,
It is woven with neatly organized threads.
So it's quick and the finish is beautiful.
But what about power looms?
As the name suggests, it is woven using "brute force" techniques, even with coarse threads .
Also, most of the looms are pre-war, so they cannot handle wide widths.
The threads are woven with a forceful technique that causes them to fall roughly vertically,
I want to focus on sewing with narrow denim.
Considering efficiency,
It is quicker and cheaper to cut and sew 152cm wide denim.
They even took the trouble to operate the old pre-war looms.
It was woven with rough, knotty threads,
Because we use rough fabric...
It becomes "your own denim that is worth growing into." 
This beard I've been wearing for three years.
The beard he has developed thanks to his years of farm work.
It is a "medal" in a sense.
Belt attachment photographed from the back. 
The bottom stitch is a chain stitch.
What is a chain stitch?
It stretches and shrinks to some extent.
In other words, the fabric is sewn to match the elasticity of the belt.
However, the top stitch is a single lock stitch.
And it was sewn all the way to the bottom,
After turning at a right angle and descending,
It comes to the front part...
From there it goes back up at a sharp angle!
I love the stitching here!
This is a stitching technique known among enthusiasts as "V-shaped bar" .
It serves to hold down the chain stitches at the bottom.
This is also a sewing technique that disappeared in the 1960s.
This small crotch part is also inside out.
Truly a niche genre. 
These denim pants from Dry Bones are
The sewing of this part is called "fell stitching" and is the most time-consuming stitching .
Just a few centimeters, a small detail.
Many manufacturers use a serger for this part, but...
The technology used at a time when the serger had not yet been developed.
It is inherited as it is (at the genetic level).
From here,
This is the kind of attention to detail that only Dry Bones Gene Engineering can provide .
First, the back of the placket. 
This part is piped.
A very time-consuming sewing method
A dressy and classic way to wear trousers.
It looks beautiful when piped like this.
This is something I personally care about very much.
There's another place here. 
Inside the pocket.
The opening is sewn with a single stitch, of course...
The entire pocket fabric is lined with lining.
This doubles the durability!
I have a habit of carrying tools and bolts and nuts in my pockets...
The pocket lining will tear immediately.
It's twice as durable and no longer breaks.
In fact, much more,
There are some parts that I've put a lot of effort into creating...
Due to space limitations, I'll leave it at that.
First, buy it and wear it for a few years.
Please continue to nurture it.
I think you will see a lot of advantages.
See you later.
Oh yeah, a continuation from my last blog.
Tangerines on a branch in the garden,
I was trying to attract white-eyes, but... 
Here it comes!!
It's beautiful and small,
So cute!
I'm completely in love!
