Proper selvedge jeans

Thanks for the image c_b. *shudders

Thanks for the storage thoughts peeps. I'd rather keep them all hanging and aired but don't really have the space for it. Guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, hang a few pairs and fold the rest away.

Could you use something like this?

Have we seen the Matalan "selvedge"? £18

hmm, elasticated waistband and inbuilt tena pants...

They are even cheaper at Sports Direct *shudders

Or what about a pulley clothes hanger / dryer? Works well in places with high ceilings.

Oh and I was joking about hanging in a dark room with a fan. I just wanted to see how far selvedge fanatics would go.

You have no idea... 😑

SD have some Levis 511 for £16 online at the moment.

Anyone want these none moar black Gustins? Straight leg. Genuine 34 waist and taken up to about a 32 leg. Less with a turn up. Yes I have short stumpy legs. They're stiff as fuck. Worn only a couple of times for a short time. Had one soak and drip dry last week. Black hole-black in both warp and weft. Absorb light like a Californian solar farm. Yours for £40

I dropped you a PM the other day if they're still for sale.

In other matters, does anyone want to share P&P on Gustins denim apron?

$44 seems like a bargain, $67 (price Inc UK P&P) pushes it into the slightly unnecessary purchase category.

If Hugo doesn't. I will.

Interested in the apron.

PM me or better still email on anything at my username dot com.

Imho the pockets on that apron look a bit stupid and impractical if you plan to use it for anything else than kitchen work where no pockets at all would actually be better.
I recently bought a dickies apron from cone mills selvedge denim. More, bigger and better pockets for mechanicing/wrenching/tinkering.

Atmo etc.

Cool that's the push over the edge I need :)

Just waiting on my mate to confirm if he wants anything and I'll be in touch.

@dron - I want the pockets for the authentic artisanal aesthetic. Not for storing [insert hip tool of choice].

Basically I wouldn't mind my own apron for cooking and I figure that one looks pretty cool and is a price I can mentality justify. But I'll have a look at the Dickies one... Maybe something for the day I have a shed.

Can anyone recommend a central/east place to get new pockets sewn into my jeans? cheers

You're handy with a sewing machine, you should do it yourself... Just cut off the bottom of the pocket and replace with a new half pocket...

I can't be fucked to hand wash my jeans and have it drip drying in the bathroom today.
What spin speed fucks up denim? Ie what should I be under? 400?

I was mine in 30 or 40 on delicate, never had any issues. Not that I'm too bothered though

Enough to ignore the above advice.

In other news, found some more Denim & Supply selvedge for £60. Pleased with their cut and value for money at that price point.

Ex-cuuuuuse me

But in all seriousness, what's the option if he can't be bothered hand washing them? Can you wash them in a gentler way in a machine than in 30 degrees delicate? Should he just wave them in front of the washing machine, thinking about lukewarm water?

Looooaaads of it in TKMaxx all the time!!! Too hot for jeans here, think I've worn trousers a dozen times or so since we got here...

Not complaining... 😋

Bath tub soak and dry them flat on the drying rack.

I'm wearing trousers in the winter over here during the evenings. Air con is a killer wherever you go.

The 10oz selvedge are perfect for the occasion.
