Proper selvedge jeans

Daft question: are Nudie jeans anything in anyway related to Nudie cowboy suits?

I'm not going to google that...

I just did. Very disappointing.

No idea but I want one of those suits

Everyone should have a Nudie suit.

What’s their going rate for repairs was about to send a load (4+) upto the jean doctor in Manchester for repair, if the price is equivalent and quality good, might save myself the postage..

I'll let you know when I pick them up tomorrow...

cool

Just adding a recommendation for Blackhorse lane jeans - have just bought some, quality seems excellent and they apparently come with free lifetime repairs (which is a nice bonus given all the crotch rot discussion above)

@cornelius_blackfoot I picked them up today - repaired where they had worn through at the crotch and on the front of one leg (patched on back and stitched over), plus the bottom half of both front pocket "bags" were replaced as they had worn right through. Paid £8 for the lot.

They do a good job in my opinion. Not specialist or invisible mending, but more than acceptable for me. Why not take one pair in and get the repairs done and then take a view on the other three?

£8!
Wish I had access to that kind of value, I live in the backwash of backwaters.

That’s a bargain for that lot! I just paid the same for a crotch

I had no idea there was a jeans maker in Blackhorse Lane. Their web-site doesn't indicate (or I haven't found it) whether they do cycling-specific jeans. I like buying local.

Bought a new pair of Rogue Territory jeans from Rivet & Hide at the weekend. Service from the staff was absolutely excellent and hemming came free with the purchase. Tried out some iron heart 777's at the same time and I'm tempted to go back for a set of those

It's close to where I'm working in town next week, so will take in a couple of pairs to see what they can do.

At last I finally gave in for a pair of Ruri denim Big Johns. It should be fun to follow the fading process given the colour.

Got a few pairs of these myself... absolutely cracking jeans! And you're right about R&H, guys are real nice and know what they're talking about.

The rare sight of Naked & Famous in TKMax (Brent Cross, size 30” I think)

Wow. 40 quid.

I'll check Brixton tomorrow.

What’s this place called? I need the crotches on both my apc doing.

No idea, but I'm pretty sure it's the only Chinese dry cleaner just round the corner from the Nudie repair shop in D'Arblay Street...

Okay will find. Ta.
