Remember a few posts back when we decided that we were going to go back to the piece dyeing method (where we dye the fabric, then sew the garment) vs. garment dyeing (where we dye the already sewn garment)? Confusing, I know. We decided to not go with garment dyeing because the dye bath lent a sort of soft, vintagey feel to the Slim Slacks that we liked, but didn't feel completely kosher about. We want you to buy our stuff brand crispy new, and wash and wear it in. Not that the garment dyed slacks are all whiskered and mud-butted up, but they are softer and more broken in than the real forthcoming Slim Slack.

In the meantime of all this back and forth, a little batch of PFD (prepared for dying) Slim Slacks were made up, and we weren't entirely sure what to do with them. Even though PFD isn't the way we're gonna go for good, we're certainly not ones to waste.

So this is what we've decided. We're taking these PFD jeans and throwing them in a one-time-only color dye bath just for you. We'll be using some of the runners up from the last color vote you made and throwing in a few of our own crazy dream jean colors.

These will be sold exclusively online and will never, ever be produced again. This is the garment that you can show to your kids and say "Yeah, I remember back in '06 when American Apparel was a new company and they accidentally made these crazy purple jeans and I was totally one of the first and only people who got a pair! Now, they are yours, young son. Wear them wisely." Or something like that.

This special version of the Slim Slacks will be coming to the web store real soon, like in a few days. We'll post again when they're up so you can be the first to get the chance to grab a pair. Stay tuuuuned!
