Pics of special denim creations (non jeans)

[pacioli]

Please use this thread to share special non-jeans creations related to denim and indigo. Everything from bags, vests, jackets, quilts, etc are game. Provide a description of why the pieces are particularly interesting.

First up are some beautiful items from Kiya, Al's Attire, and Cotton Duck. (originally posted on my blog).

Some Things Money Can't Buy

Christmas came early this year. Look at what arrived in the mail from Self Edge and crew.

First up is the one-of-a-kind, custom-made, Self Edge tweed denim jacket. Just in time for the advent of cool weather.

It is made of 14 oz recent deadstock Cone denim woven on antique American-built Draper shuttle looms. I believe only 3 or 4 people in the world still have yardage of this special selvage denim. It contains a special weft yarn spun in America with colored nubs. The resulting cloth is a sturdy denim that pays tribute to the Harris Tweed.

The styling and specs are by Kiya Babzani, proprietor of Self Edge.

Constructed by the infallible Al's Attire.

Selvage hanger loop.

Pocket watch chain button hole front.

Pocket watch chain button hole back.

The pocket flaps nod to another classic.

The entire jacket in general and the collar stitching and pocket flaps in particular are inspired by the Flat Head x 092707, which is Kiya's wedding suit (also by Al's Attire).

The other item I received is just as special and unique. It is a beautiful cap handmade by Samuel de Goede, Wild Child designer, Superfuture Supertalk moderator, Mister Freedom model, and by all indications a renaissance man.

The material is a vintage, soft wheat flour bag.

Samuel's alias is Cotton Duck.

The cap is reversible. One section uses a different denim from the rest of the cap. Over time the difference will become more apparent as the two denims fade to contrasting colors.

Phenomenal work guys!

Sorry for the long tease but these pieces are not available anywhere. There are plenty of other superb articles to buy at Self Edge.

I really like that jacket.

Hey Henry, great pieces! As some of you may know, I do the chain stitching for Self Edge, but I also have my shop on Etsy where I sell my denim wares. Instead of just posting pics of my wallets and things, here is a collection of some of my more limited designs:

Selvage denim yo-yo bags made for Anti-Yo's Busine$$. I believe I made 80 of these. It was a real learning experience for me and way more work than I expected.

Custom 20oz Heineken Cozy with leather bottom. This was a commissioned piece, with scraps from a pair of Flat Heads. Note the matching wallet.

Here's a 40oz cozy.

Custom selvage garter belt. A gift made for Kiya and Demitra's wedding.

Denim hats made from a pair of jeans. You can't see it, but the inside lining is made from the inside pocket lining.

iPhone case made from Nudie jeans scraps and the bag a pair of Nudie underwear came in.

Selvage denim coffee cozies. Made from scraps from tailored jeans.

These pics were all culled from my sewing set on flickr. It's been a while since I've taken a look at some of these projects... I think there's a lot of good stuff in there.

denim change pouch... made for the dd+1 project... was gonna make 13, but got lazy. its made from raw slevage denim from the lovely and beautiful tg76, and the lining is a vintage pendelton flannel.

Would love to have one of those cup holders...

[Guest thehoj]

Would love to have one of those cup holders...

I'd pay good money for one myself.

Hey Doc Pop, those are great pieces. Especially like the coffee cozy. I'm very happy with that iphone case I bought!

Cheep, if you have more pics would love to see them.

[Doc Pop]

Thanks. If anyone is interested in the coffee cozies, I have 8 selvage coffee cozies listed on my site and 3 twenty-one ounce ones from Iron Heart scraps that aren't listed on my shops. I could sell these for $12 each or two for $20, just email me yoyogenius at gmail.

After digging through my pics and posting pics of my wares for this thread, I found myself highly motivated to make some more stuff, so I whipped up these art supply cases and wrote about them on my blog.

I'm happy to see a thread like this and can't wait to see more of other people's creations.

[pacioli]

Hey Doc that art supplies case looks phenomenal. Love indigo selvage line. I just posted pics of a vintage chore jacket that has an indigo selvage line. It's in the Chore Coats thread: http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?p=1290783#post1290783

Here are pics of a selvage canvas pencil case. The warp and weft are indigo. The fading is quite interesting.

It is made by Roy Patrick Slaper. He is a self-taught sewer and designer working on a denim line and store called ROY in Oakland, CA, in which he hand-makes denim clothing.

[pacioli]

What: Post O'Alls covert denim tote. Japanese selvage loomed. Tote does not carry the selvage line but their jacket using the same material does.

Why: Covert cloth is rare. Selvage covert cloth is super rare.

[fre-co]

pacioli, post some stuff in the post o'alls thread!

[Florian.FloC]

Very interested in the idea of the coin pocket piece--any ideas on where something like this could be purchased? Cheep, maybe we could see some better pictures?

[andewhall]

Hi guys. Got this beauty cardholder in the post just last week from the amazing folks at Cone Denim. Its the same 13.5oz denim used on AW jeans . Can't wait to get some wear on it, will post pic's when it does!

[Florian.FloC]

:0

Can that be purchased??

[pacioli]

Japanese-made indigo doorknob-hanging thingamajig from one of the best co-workers a guy can have. Holds everything from cologne to passport to wallet and other misc. things you cannot affort to not have close by.

Fre$co- unfortunately I don't have any other Post O'Alls pieces to show. Maybe that will change one day.

[Charlie Delta]

[pacioli]

[Charlie Delta]

Ok so I thought I would explain a little bit about this piece. It is the second off of a sample we are working on here at Rising Sun Indigo goods, its concept piece is a beautiful indigo dyed cotton victorian blouse, we made allot of changes and are still working on the third off which will be a bit different than this one. The idea is to make it in a great light weight indigo chambray.
