Irish Linen Denim

[oranswell]

For those interested, specifically those who make their own jeans or those with an interest in denim history I've found a supplier in the U.K. who has an Irish linen denim twill http://www.classhistory.co.uk/Herts%20Fabrics/store/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=denim&category_id=35&product_id=62

They have two different Irish linen denims, one is a plain weave like a canvas and the other is a twill weave with the characteristic diagonal ribs for jeans-making.

For those based in the UK its a rare chance to make wholly UK made jeans, as most Irish linen is made in Northern Ireland.

Very nice, thanks.

Very nice, thanks.

No prob, I hope some makers see it and think about supporting local weaving. Apparently its sold to [uSA] Civil War re-enactors a lot for the uniform trousers.

They aren't replying to me, need to see the true color of it. Could be cool for a denim jacket.
