Proper selvedge jeans

yeah i'm having problems too - pm'ed

Right three pairs of jeans that I've just pulled out of a box which hasn't been opened for a year.

Prim I Am jeans - bought from Oki-ni a few years ago minimal wear, soft dark denim. 34x34 £30

All Saints taper jeans - present from an aunt who heard I liked Japanese denim. The denim itself is nice and crisp but the cut is quite a taper from the knees. 32x32 £20

Edwin ED71 - I really like these jeans and have another pair but I bought these in 32 waist and they don't fit by Gregory Bauge like thighs! Waist fits like 34 and I had them shortened to 32 leg. Minimal wear and a bloody nice cut. £40

Having issues with uploading photos but feel free to pm

Curious about the smallest of the lot...

Interested in natural selection. Please give me a shout when photos sorted

@Tenderloin Interested in the Prim I Am jeans - what cut are they?
If they are the "storm" ones they sound like what I want (slight taper from knee)

That sounds like them - I'll see if it says what model on the label.

Probably not the right thread but denim people might know:

Where can I get dungarees? As in too-rye-ay era Dexy's style?

For my daughter, btw...

Search for Osh Kosh (B'gosh), pricey but worth it...

Loads of kids stuff, their old workwear stuff is very much sought after by collector types...

Thanks - she's 5'8" so I'm not sure Osh Kosh will fit.

Afaicr their stuff was for littler kids? (Should have said that she is growing up size!)

You could get adult sized OK stuff again years ago, I've still got a lovely 50s pump attendant's jacket... If you can be arsed it might be worth searching for them...

I'd recommend a trip to @JD's vintage emporium in Camden and grab a pair of OK or Lee dungarees... Late 70s soulboy classics...

ok, as promised - anything interesting? will email pics and actual measurements if so

I've got 2 pairs of non selvedge denim, both Edwin.

One pair grey - relaxed taper. 30 x 32.
One pair blue - will find details but probs 30 x 32

I'm sick of having them loose around my waist and clinging like fuck to my legs.

40 quid the pair?
Pics in a minute when I get out of this meeting.

Anyone interested in a pair of hardly worn Albam regular fit, 32" waist and unchanged length so 34"?

i am potentially, but how regular is the albam? let me look it up...

Plenty of room below the waist. I'm too skinny for them, it just looks silly. I'd imagine them to be perfect for anyone with normal / pwrrr thighs

Interested in swapping for some Natural Selection jeans? They're 31/34 I think and too skinny for my pwrr thighs. I'd imagine them to be perfect for anyone with the thighs of a 5yr old girl (/a bit less fat than me)

Possibly! Got a pic / link?

Regular is pretty standard fit. The newer ones are good jeans, the old ones awesome. Depending on when @kboy got them.

If you're a 32-30 waist in NS they should fit you

I've UTFS and used the fucking google too so I've done a bit of reading and now I'm after some real-world advice please.

Should I be doing anything different/special with black selvedge jeans?

Safe in advance.

Nope - I'd treat them the same as any dark and crispy denim

Nice one, thank you!

Recommendations for a decent quality repair service? Have realised that I've blown a hole in the crotch of some Tellason jeans and they've got plenty of life left everywhere else. Bonus points if can avoid the postal service

Son of a Stag do repairs i think

Denim doctor is good if you're in Manchester.

If you are in London, then definitely Atelier & Repairs in Great Titchfield Street.

Superior to Son of a Stag in my experience. Also recommended by the Rivet & Hide shop.
