  1. Hey Guys!

    Karl from Rogue Territory Custom Jeans here. I've create a new thread because I'll be offering some off the rack Japanese selvage madness within the next few months and I wanted your eyeballs on them first. I also will be including some of my newer works. For older stuff you can find it on the "Custom Jeans in LA" thread.

    Here's some of my newest pieces:

    Men's Slim size 32 Straight non-selvage Japanese 14oz

    Worn by Steven Lippman (amazing professional photographer)

  2. it was great meeting you too, it's always cool to run into people that share the same interests in denim that I do. At AmRag it doesn't happen all that often. Hopefully I'll get to those jeans

    sometime next week, I'm super excited to see what the finished product looks like. I'll post pics when they're completed. Keep in-touch and next time I see you I expect to see some major wear on those AWs. Till then

  3. hey! ya it's always good to have people stop by that have the same passions as I do, it doesn't happen very often. hopefully I get those jeans started next week. I have a few other jeans I'm working on as well so hopefully I can post them all at the same time. till next time...I expect to see some good wear on those AWs too :)

  4. hey atailor thanks for the support and welcome to your newest obsession haha, it's great to hear of all these guys like yourself on here dabbling in their own design in construction. We should totally have selfmade denim party someday. Anyway, as far your question about the denim you have, I can't think of anything that it might be, maybe if you attached a pic it'd be easier to figure out. As far as denim goes I have a couple of people I use here in LA. Mostly Cone stuff, but I can get some great Japanese selvage as well. My Cone connection is denim sourcer called Top Textile, they get some japanese stuff as well and all their selvage goes for $4.25 a yard. I'd check them out first. They're in downtown on Towne and 7th. I can give their phone # as well if you'd like it. Good luck with your new projects and denim hunting and let me know if you have any other questions.

  5. it's been a minute since I posted anything, so I wanted to show everyone what I've been up to besides making custom jeans. I found this hickory at my denim source, I was a little unsure about how it would come out, but at $2.50 a yard I figured what do I have to lose. Anyway here's what I put together. Let me know what you think!

    Fly is a Cone 12.5 oz selvedge

    25rcoci.jpg

    The outside seam is not selvedge, I cut the pattern out a 1/4" larger, folded the seam over twice at a 1/4" width and top stitched it with orange thread...I kinda like the way it turned out. I also added the bias tape again. For some reason I love how it looks when the jean is cuffed.

    Hidden coin pocket is same Cone selvedge

    No yolk and added cinch strap

    I'll add fit pics shortly

  6. Unfortunately, I need you and your body for the jeans to come out perfect. I mean, sure, I can make you jeans based off of measurements you send me, but they aren't going to be exactly what you want as far as fit is concerned. (shrugs) I wish it were that easy. You could always send me a pair of jeans you like and i could duplicate them for you...that's always a consideration.

  7. Poly- actually I only do felled ( or as I call it "cabio") center seams, and yolk, I never use felled seams for the leg...sometimes I don't even felled the center seams and yolk. when I have an idea for a pair of jeans I just want to bust them out and wear them. so sometimes I skip some steps

  8. hey Daveo, I picked those Red Wings up in Japan. I guess that color and style is "limited edition" sold only in Japan. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm only repeating what the sales dude said...

  9. as promised...fit pics on all these pants!

    These are the jeans I go hiking in...don't ask me why, but that's why the grey looks a little off.
