My jeans are falling off me and wanted something with more movement and features, so having a go at making my own.
Been a longtime since I’ve made trousers, and don’t have some machines that would be used, so getting creative with both classic and modern techniques and materials. Picked up some selvedge denim with a small % of stretch from Black Horse Lane in Coal Drops Yard. Big selection & v helpful staff. The narrow loom and big legs means I bought 3m which is slightly more than I’ve used, so prob spot on for this first time make.
Rusty user of IG, but posting the making on Stories + stuff from weekend is now on Stories Highlights here

Very much ‘non-traditional’ denim make, so apologies to the purists. Going for a low-profile, with a few technical/functional details, cut for loads of movement on-bike. Will post finished photos, hopefully this weekend coming…
