  1. jedi can you give me some advice please.

    i soak and then dry my denim in a hot dryer before cutting.

    later when washed the waist and seat get snugger but stretch out later i will be allowing for that next.

    but although i allow an inch or so in the length after several washes the get too darn short. is this the way of denim or am i using cheap stuff?

  2. hi jedi im a newbie this is my 3rd post. i think you have some great stuff there. hope your business takes off and flies. we need more independents. ones with creative people. im an old retired guy now for 13 years. two years ago i decided to make my own jeans. so far i made 3 pair using old ones to make the patterns. not so good they are now my grubbies for working around. then made my own pattern and made 2 pair that i can wear. they are an ok look for an old guy.

    now i am trying to find selvage. the only leads have been london and new york, do you have any other leads? i have a black bull denim that i like from denver,dont know the other its a smooth finish no rib indigo. that shows vertical and horizontal weave faintly on the face. have you any idea what it is?
