Filippa K does selvedge

Apparently Filippa K felt like hopping on the bandwagon and add a couple of pieces with selvedge denim for their S/S 06 collection.
There are, at least, three different pairs of jeans made of raw selvedge denim, Ryan, Buzz and Yves. It's hard to tell what's different between the cuts, they're all relatively slim and all seem to have a mid-to-high waist.


My guess is that Ryan is the the slimmest of the three and might taper from the knee down.

The Yves cut is very similar, perhaps the only difference is that they don't taper from the knee down?


Buzz is more relaxed overall.



And the jacket, simply called "Selvedge Jacket." It's rather nice in my opinion.


Has anyone checked them out in stores or maybe even bought either of these? Let me know, leave a comment!

Gallery links

I have a rather larger collection of links to Japanese denim galleries in my Favorites and thought I'd post them for all denim lovers to see.
If you want to translate these pages, put this in front of the URL: http://translate.google.com/translate?sourceid=navclient-menuext&hl=en&u=
Be careful though, translated Japanese slowly melts your brain..
