My kid keeps destroying pants. I’ll have to sew in double knees at some point. Some 80s Levi’s with some serious leg twist, nippers that prob shouldn’t be worn much anymore, wranglers and some modern carhartt that didn’t hold up nearly as well as the other pants. I used some flat head and roy denim scraps as well as some canvas and flannel fabric swatches from Seuvas.

I don’t wear these 1947 jeans as much anymore but they’re looking great. I’ve the last round of repairs on the fabric and stitching fixes, i leave them as only occasional wear so they don’t get too messed up.

Looks like someone needs more time in the chamber of dark tears.

I won't stop until you look like this

it's that high priced Rick Owens type of humor.

any employee who speaks poorly of Rick Owens publicly or privately is made to sit on a metal uncomfortable chair in a dark chamber listening to music that alternates between romantic era classical music and abrasive industrial music until they come out looking like a ninja alien. we do a similar thing if someone speaks ill of Toyo except they're made to sit in an almost period correct 1950s bedroom complete with asbestos in the drywall and made to listen to rockabilly until they come out wearing a full denim tux. we take things very seriously.

It took me a little bit to understand the humor in a lot of Rick Owens' stuff but it's one of the more fun brands where a lot of the designs are intentionally humorous in all sorts of ways. I mean how you can create this sweatshirt and not think it's funny? Coming from my experience where I haven't really change the way I dress in the last 15 years and I still tend to lean more towards the simple very "normal" looking clothes for the most part, it's been really a eye opening experience to learn more about brands outside of the ones I knew well. I've been fortunate enough now to have spent the last 5-6 years going to showrooms for all the self edge brands and it's really interesting to spend days looking and discussing SDA, flat head, samurai, iron heart, etc and then (often times on the same days) go into showrooms with brands like Rick Owens, devoa, rigards, the viridi-anne, motiv, etc. While obviously atheistically they seem like that they have nothing in common, they actually all share very similar viewpoints in how much they pay attention to fabrics, treatment or lack of treatment of the materials, and the really intricate understanding of how something should be constructed. I think of it like two sides of the same coin where you have one side with brands that are more conservative and/or rigid when to comes to deviating from the source material and the love and passion for what they do comes from staying close to the originals and just making their best version of that and then flip over to the other side where you have a group of brands that understand the source material and history but find interest and joy in deviating and pushing designs in different ways. Like with all genres of clothing brands/styles, there are a lot of brands that I think are no good and are actually shit but I think at least for me, I've got this reinvigorated love for this stuff and it's helped me feel less serious and defensive when I see styles that deviate from the norm. While I still love seeing another version of a Type I and straight leg jean in a deep indigo denim, it's a nice balance to then also experience brands that make something a little more out there but still made as well as the stuff I'm used to wearing. Some would say this is the Rick Owens of burgers. (it looks delicious)

oh shit. that's really scary. glad you came out mostly ok. fucking up the jacket on day 2 of wear is rough. with a hole like that, it could look cool with a more ornate sashiko repair? an aesthetically pleasing souvenir of surviving.

I'd say it's a pretty moderately fading black jean. I gave mine away to a friend so I can't a photo of it but this is the fading I got around 3 months of actual wear and a few washes. https://imgur.com/a/sugar-cane-black-1947-3-months-of-wear-5-washes-IiobBrs

hems take way shorter than repairs! hems generally are 3-5 days but sometimes you get lucky if you drop off right when the tailor is there working on hems so the turn around is quick. repair times will vary...generally around 3-5 weeks but can creep up if we get bombarded with repairs.

whoa, I've never seen this fabric from FH. very cool. you're right...the wear on the thighs looks like there was a decent amount of wear but everything else looks like it was pretty unworn.
