behold, my favourite pair of jeans (that my ass is now too big to wear), naked and famous rainbow cores
the process for making these is kinda cool. most denim is made using a process called rope dyeing, where the fibers are twisted tightly so that the indigo dye can only penetrate the outer layer, then when the material is worn down the inner white core of the threads shows up which results in the typical fading pattern you see on denim, raw or not. with rainbow cores (or red cores, which N&F also made around this time; they look sick as hell too) the warp threads (the vertical ones) aren't white but instead a bunch of rainbow colours before they get rope dyed
the resulting material starts out looking kinda like an oil slick on pavement—a little shimmery—then as the indigo wears off you get these insane rainbows peeking through. these jeans fucking GLOW in direct sunlight
