So, this guy made his own jeans.
Came out pretty good. Kind of surprised no one here has tried this yet.
Pretty impressive for a first go with a domestic machine. I've been pondering it, my sister has an industrial sewing machine so got no excuse really...

nice effort on the home made strides.
TK Brixton max helps me again, wanted a pair of knock about jeans found a pair £18 light weight selvedge, nice relaxed fit and easy wearing. -

What brand are they? I missed them.

just Bench ones 36 x34 in the clearance section found them by chance as they were tucked in between some jackets

Well just backed another pair of Gustins. The custom slates ... look awesome for a dark grey pair of jeans!

Got my Gustins last night, they're super tight but I'm going to just spend a day in them and stretch them out at some point.
My Edwin jeans on Ebay, someone has just asked me if they will shrink. Will they? I assumed they would probably stretch as you wear them rather than shrinking.

Edwins are pretty tough. I'd say they will stay pretty true.

I've been wearing my edwin e55's for a while and I'm pretty pleased with them, getting some sick fades brah. Yesterday I tried on some old nudie's, they feel like leggins in comparison and didn't last 6 months without having to be patched, they feel so cheap for a relatively expensive pair of jeans.
tldr; buy quality, buy once.

How many pairs is that now?

So I have
- Super lights (wearing through them)
- Grey Silks ( gave to my brother, ordered 1 size too small )
- Black2 ( love these )
Ordered but cancelled
- Rainbow Nep ( failed QC)
- Cone Black ( cancelled as I discovered size problems with Grey Silk )
On order:
- Cone Custom - Slate
I'm still annoyed about the grey silk, size 33 was a MASSIVE difference to size 34 :S
- Super lights (wearing through them)

I'm gonna cut some Gustin Rainbow Neps in to shorts I reckon.

Balham TKM doesn't seem to have the same treasures as Brixton, although I don't visit that often. The place depresses me.
It's a skill.
You stick to the h20->>>>>>whine;-D

I want to get sown buttons taken out and replaced with sturdy riveted jobbies. Can anyone recommend somewhere?

Lessons from my Gustin jeans:
-33 in Gustin jeans is optimistic
-Slim fit in Gustin jeans is optimistic - ability take things in and out of pockets would be handy
-Very nicely made, hence me trying to force them to fit today. -
• #1695
Sounds scary. Got slim coming after the regulars were just too wide in the lower leg. Need to contract serious case of dysentery.
-
• #1696
Lower leg on the slim fit still isn't that slim. Upper leg...well I had nearly reached the next stop on the bus by the time I'd managed to get my wallet out of my pocket. I think if the waist size was right they might be alright though.
-
• #1697
Pockets have always been too shallow. Thankfully the denim is always very decent.
-
• #1698
Is it going to soften at all? The rear pockets seem to be trying to skin the backs of my hands when I put my hands in them.
-
• #1699
Also, it doesn't look like my Edwin jeans are going to reach the reserve on Ebay. I will probably just put them on and do star jumps till they loosen off on my thighs as well.

I've got some grey Gustins on the way, excite.
In other news, the black Edwin Blitz jeans (32x32) I bought off tilover are on Ebay now. I paid £75 but couldn't get them to fit or sell them on this thread, reserve is a lot lower than what I paid so let me know if you're interested.
