Sprogs, nippers, bambinos: pint-sized denim

[stanier]

My wife tells me our 7 year old son needs new jeans and I'd love to get him selvage, anyone know anywhere in London that stocks for kids, any brand?

Failing that anywhere online?

Not many options at the moment I'm afraid.

Hennes do good raw jeans, but not selvage. Flatheads are possibly available from Rakuten. Might be worth trying to get a pair proxy'd from jcrew in the US ?

[almostnice]

just received a pair of Flatheads in Size 7 for my daughter from riff.

highly recommended,all details are there,hidden rivets,watchpocket selvage,beefy patch,old arcs and red tab.i am jealous!

[Paul T]

Pics please!

I think I'll sell the nippers' sammy and belstaff (Belstaff, almostnice, with the proper belt and everything) and some of my other stuff to raise the $$ for some nipper FH. PM me if you wanna kit out your 7-8 year old...

[riff]

Just as an FYI... I received the new larger-sized kid's Flatheads for my little girl (went through Suto as none of the usual sites that ship here had them).

The new ones - while just as lovely in quality as the old - no longer have the red tab & old arc design... They've moved to the same design as the adult jeans....

I bought a Belstaff waxed jacket in 1985 for riding my first Lambretta,Li 150 series one,made 1959.i have fond memories on the jacket,esp. cause you couldnt walk anywhere without leaving wax marks on erevything and everybody,which was very handy cause riding a Lambretta keeps you usually covered in grease so the Belstaff was always a good excuse.

if you wanna let it go in the future just pm me,always willing to help somebody who didnt learn to work properly.

first day out:

[Paul T]

Aw, the jeans look ace, but your lovely nipper looks less cheerful than normal... fatigued after polishing your scooter??

[almostnice]

well,i wasnt satisfied with the result,still some dull spots on the paint,so i had to skip lunch as punishment for her.

[stanier]

Love those Flatheads! Can anyone point me a Rakuten store that stocks them please? I'm searching and find some great kids shirts, but no jeans as yet... all help appreciated cheers

I originally got mine through Hinoya, but they no longer seem to stock them. They are shown here:

A few rows down, on the RHS of page. I went through Sutocorp and had them proxy a pair!

[stanier]

Thanks Riff, i'm on the way to sorting a pair out now!!

Cheers

[almostnice]

didnt expect to update that early:

time to get the brush out,no need for a wash after two days of wear.

this makes me proud.good girl.

Great stuff. Do you still have to sneak them by Mrs almostnice so she doesn't throw them in the washer??

[almostnice]

i made it clear that this would be a reason for a separation.not sure if she understood though.

[Paul T]

I've tried that. Bad idea; it can be seen as encouragement.

[redX]

those jeans already have more character than 80% of jawnz on this forum, mine included

Haha you guys are hilarious. Although I nearly died when a girl I was dating a while back suggested I cut the chainstitch runoff off of my shirts. It didn't last, because she just didn't understand.

depends from which side of the fence you look at it,hehe...

[zissou]

God, if I found a girl who even remotely understood denim, I'd be so happy. There's this one girl I'm friends with who wants me to help her find some great raw denim and I really want to get with her (again).

Zissou, Paul et al,

Funny thing is, listening to you guys on the subject of 'the ladies' understanding denim, I have been dating an Ex from years ago who is as into Denim as me (far out!).

She spent most of the weekend drooling over my whole Lvc collection and takin fit pix of my current wearers (and GW jacket)

I feel a very lucky man.

[Paul T]

Great! We did say that things would turn around. How could they not, for a sophisticated denim aesthete??

Many thanks Paul, and +rep for all your support

WARNING! Proceed with extreme caution. In 2006 I started seeing an ex from years back and we're expecting our 2nd child in April! Unfortunately she doesn't have the raw denim bug and is currently wearing horrendous maternity jeans. I don't expect her to be posting them on the laydeez thread.

[Paul T]

Congratulations, Mr F!

A few people have mentioned Pointers Chore Coats on another thread. They do good-looking kids stuff, too: hickory stripe and raw denim bib overalls, as well as a cool Conductor cap; kind of like OshKosh, but made in the USA, and at pretty decent prices, $30-31. Would love to know how anyone gets on with these!

I was eyeing those as well. Would like to get some overalls for the little guy.

My niece & nephew...

Nadiya is wearing Garbstore selvedge denim that I picked up in London last week and Gavin is still rockin his Levis selvedge.

[Paul T]

COol jeans. How much were the gabrstore?

I mentioned before I'd post the nippers' Belstaff. Here it is. Although I object to such pint-size materialism on principle, it's still a beautiful thing. I've held off from buying one of these for me for years, in fear it would like a Dr EvilMini Me combination, but now I'm free, as he's outgrown it.

Excuse the shameless plug, but I'll be posting a few kids items in the Supermarket later - sammy, Levi's regular and Nevada and the Belstaff. All funds go to a pair of kids' flatheads. Sammies and regular Levi's are now sold. Belstaff and kids' Nevada are in the Supermarket, here

[riff]

Darn Paul - best dressed nipper ever! I'd be all over that Belstaff if it was larger!
