WEFT Las Vegas

[Dick Danger]

Not sure if this has been posted yet. If it has I suck and will accept any all ridicule.

WEFT is in the Forum Shops and has selvage Japanese denim in a few different weights and colors to choose from. The pitch is jeans made to your measurements with the denim of your choice. You also have a few choices for thread color, buttons, back pocket shape, and stuff. Got one pic, but the sales chick freaked out when I tried to snap inside the store. Anywhoo, thought it might be worth a look for anyone traveling to vegas.

Looks like the sign there says Rogue Territory custom denim. Do they actually make the jeans there or do they get the dudes at Rogue Territory to make the custom jeans?

Weft is Karl's new project. He's still got his webstore, etc.

[wahwho11]

I'm sorry if it's obvious, but what are the prices? seem they'll be more than ooe.

[Dick Danger]

The woman I talked to said production would be done in LA. Pricing ranged from $300-$500.

It would be even better if they let you bring in your own fabric. Bespoke jeans

… and own hardware. Talon zippers and whatnot. But no chain-stitched hems??!! Blasphemy!

I live 10 minutes from the forum shops. I'll have to go check that store out.

I was in there at the end of August. Was pretty pressed for time, but some of the stuff looked kind of interesting, some of it looked pretty average. I did not find their shirts particularly inspiring.

Also for anyone on their way to the actual store, its on the end of the forum shops where it T's and comes out into the casino near the Coliseum Theater.

Thanks for posting this @Dick Danger. as oboy said this is my newest project. i've teamed up with the guys at Weft to take my custom jeans to a larger audience. I am confident that the program that I developed will be appreciated by denim enthusiasts and the general consumer alike. Our prices start at $375 and max out at $525.

We're offering a range of denim: Japanese wide goods and selvage, Cone selvage and Italian wide goods, and stretch for the ladies. I've also developed 9 custom washes to choose from.

And sure @madstaxbro bring in your own denim and we'll make you a pair of jeans.

@coleslawyum bring us a Talon zipper we'll add them to your jeans.

And all of our jeans will be chainstitched, but we don't have a chainstitch (Unionspecial) machine on site.

I've created this program to allow the customer to be fully involved in building of their own jeans. So I'm game for anything...within reason.

Let me know if you have any other questions!!

Will your customers through WEFT need multiple fittings like your usual shop, or is it designed so that tourists can get a MTM pair?

[Rogue Territory]

no need for multiple fittings. you come in get measured we pick the size and style muslin off the wall, you try them on we make notes on what adjustments need to be made. 3-4 weeks later you get your jeans in the mail. Pretty cut and dry

What about the work trousers? Are they available at Weft?

[Rogue Territory]

Nope, I'm not selling my readymade stuff there. just custom for now

[kit99bar]

do they carry any 19-21oz denim?

[Rogue Territory]

no 19-21oz denim is very hard to come by if you're not manufacturing in Japan or your somebody like N&F doing pretty decent production runs. the heaviest weight I carry is 14.5oz keep in mind this program is for a larger market. the average pair of jeans in the market place is made out of 11-12oz denim.

That being said, I'm always trying to grab unique denim from Japan. If I come across anything heavier than 15oz you guys will be the first to know.

I'm not involved anymore. I'm pulling my stuff out soon. Other than that it's a pretty basic store. best product in there is probably Edwin.
