Proper selvedge jeans

Yes I’ve seen good reviews. I was going to order some heavy chinos but the thought of transatlantic fees put me off. I ordered from soso denim recently who do a similar semi custom offer but are EU based.

Yep, you do get stung a bit, I’ve ordered quite a bit from Rogue Territory in the past in LA, worth it if you know the brand and your sizing, as you do save depending on what the pound is doing against the dollar... they remind me a lot of Pointer Brand.

FYI (And maybe you know this but just in case) - Rivet & Hide in London and Manchester stocks some of the RGT stuff. I got a work shirt from there in the Manc shop when visiting

ISC work shirt? Might be my favourite shirt

Yep, love Rivet & Hide... Cultism in Germany stock their stuff as well... I’m partial to RGT, their jeans are great and their jackets even better... shirts are cool, although they do shrink quite a bit over time

Yes! I must admit not having been able to break it in just yet and it's been made harder with the working from home situation!

Also @Johnnyw75 they look tempting, I'm in Canada and the fees would be almost as high for me plus our dollar is lower than US.
Rogue reminds you of Pointer? Pointer has been around forever, I got some stuff from them in 2012 that was very traditionally cut (as in, 70s farmer, not turn of the previous century '49er).

Sorry, no, Ciano Farmer really reminded me of Pointer, I think it's the whole well made work look that it's kinda the same... depending on where you are in the great white north, Dutil sell RGT, but not been there for years now so I don't know how much they sell at the moment.

Just looking at Rogue the other night; I like the weights but the cuts are too slim for me these days.
Dutil is about a 15 hour drive.

Mines approaching 2 years old and still tough as old boots, doubt it’s ever going to break in in the same way that heavier denim jeans do. Have found that some of their other shirts shrink a fair bit after a couple of washes. This has only had a soak or possibly two but it still fits well

Wow... 15 hours is a proper trek... is that Toronto or Vancouver? Again, not sure if they have stores in both cities now... I've had 2 pairs of jeans, 2 shirts and 3 jackets... both jeans are kinda dead now but the jackets are still holding up... If you can get your hands on any Kojima Genes, I'd highly recommend them as well

I’m in Winnipeg, at least 15 hours from everywhere : )

Except from Winnipeg.

Unless you’re on public transit.

Wow... 15 hours is a proper trek... is that Toronto or Vancouver?

Didn't really answer this, it's 15 hours to the Calgary location, 21 to Toronto, 25 to Vancouver.

Might not be a bad drive in the summer I guess... this time of year not so much... maybe a bit excessive to pick up some jeans as well

Thought this was a pretty good idea if the waist is too big

What? An elastic in the waist? Just flicked through but was that it? That preview image on the right doesn't really show the whole truth, esp since it's a completely different pair of jeans. Check the distance between the label and the back belt loop

Every pair of kids jeans have this, it’s useful. I wish my trousers were too big at the moment.

We did a load of landscaping and labouring in the garden this year, moving tons of earth, gravel and getting rid of loads of earth. Brilliant for getting a bit of character onto some raw denim. :)

Got a pair of Naked & Famous Natural Indigo Loomstate Selvedge (13oz) during their NYC sale... they shrunk almost as much as I needed. Was 42" waist, shrunk down to 38". Kinda needed 36, but I'll live.

I cheated and used the washing machine (warm, no spin cycle). Discovered my bathtub doesn't seal!

I have a pair of Ed 71s that I just can't get on with. Something about the fit and stiffness makes them really restrictive. Kind of feels like wearing a pair of bondage trousers (one would imagine). Tying my shoelaces in them is a major chore.

I think it's because they were much longer in the leg than I need and are turned up a total of about 6 inches (both trimmed and turned up). That, and the low rise slipping down has the effect of restricting movement. I like the way they look but man, I can't wear them anymore. I got so annoyed with them the other day that I took them off and spent the last hour of the day pottering about the kitchen in my pants.

This year has really been a game changer for me when it comes to jeans. From slim with focus on how they look to less slim and more comfy. So far Indigofera’s Clint fit has been the best.

It’s either all the working from home or I’m just getting old. Dad jeans next?

For all the attention Ironheart pay to making the heaviest, toughest denim in the world the fabric they use for their front pockets is absolute shit.

Iron Heart fanny pack?
