My nephew, Gavin, still rockin his Levi's

I picked up these fake selvage jeans from H&M last night.

Been searching a while for some jeans for my son, and haven't come up with anything.

anyone have any suggestions for finding jeans for a 1-2 year old?

[robbie]

x-post from "vintage denim?" thread.

Found these interesting youth or possibly a very skinny womans jeans yesterday.

this illegible tag on the back left pocket is the only branding on the jean.

chain stitched sail cotton pocket bags (similar in feel to vintage Lee and Wranglers I've owned)

The owner must have cut out or worn out the Union label inside the back left pocket.

The top of the belt loops are sewn into the waistband, the bottom are bar tacked.

Cool feature I'd not seen before. The waist band comes around on both sides and sews back into itself.

blank top button (don't know if that is indicative of any brands) and a Talon 42 zipper,(no vis)

blue and yellow stitching on the felled inseam.

At first glance I thought Lee given the gold/black tab... but they're bartacked as opposed to riveted, they don't have the lazy 's' and no waist tag. My next guess was they are from a department store be it local or national.

I asked some folks and they thought the denim looked like Lee, maybe manufactured for a 3rd party? I was curious if anyone had further insights. Greatly appreciated it.

(these need a good home btw, PM if interested)

Try gap, my son has a couple pairs from their 1969 collection

Any recent leads on selvage for larger kids? My 8 year-old daughter finally wants "some jeans like Dad's", but I'm having a hard time. H&M and Levi's seem to just have jeggings or boot cuts, so I may just have to take her to get some 501 STFs at the local western shop.

Initial search brought up this link

I'm only just starting to look into selvage for my daughter, Arabella 8 months. It seems as though they're very difficult to find.

Aside, I'm in the process of having some big people selvage jeans manufactured (see signature). I really like the idea of having Arabella, and future kids, wearing the same jeans as dad, and have considered approaching my manufacturer to make a couple pairs as a favour. If there is enough interest, I can try to work something out for the community. As a fair warning: they're already doing me a huge favour with my minimums, so nothing is guaranteed.

Just a thought.... Let me know if this is of interest.

Pair of Osk Kosh kids hickory dungarees up for grabs.

Barely worn.

Don't want any money for them, just postage/packaging covered and a cute photo posted here on receipt (does that sound a bit wrong? :/ )

Drop us a line if interested

[misterh]

osh kosh

levi's

[Mr Black]

I can't see them anywhere on the website, but there is a No2 style kids denim jacket at gap at the moment. Could only see it in the toddler (up to 5YO) section of the Covent Garden, London branch.

Sadl;y with my kids being 6 & 11 i've just missed to boat on that!

My boy snoozing in his nice new samurai jeans

Your boy and his jeans look happy, content, and great Fresco.

My beloved daughter:

• "TAKETHAT"-Tee;
  
• Levi's belt;
  
• No name one-wash 5 pocket jean, a really nice straight cut;
  
• and of course her new Chucks.
  

EDIT: why is it such a f.cking offense to post pictures on sufu?

So... the pair shown in the first post on this spread are up for grabs. Free to any pukka sufu'er (or denimbro). You pay postage from London.

Size = 140cm, which I would say fits a typical 9-year old. Email paul at trynka.com

[demonator]

you gav did you buy a size larger for him? i mean they grow up pretty fast

[fre-co]

Yeah they are still plenty roomy.

I had good look at the UES Tokyo store during my trip to japan. Absolutely fantastic kids' jackets: they do two, a Type 2-influenced design, and my fave, the Army-influenced design, in 2x1 denim IIRC.

I met Tomohito Inomata at the Daikanyama store, and was very impressed. Definitely one of Toky's best smaller shops.

There's more info in my TOkyo Denim Guide

[fre-co]

Thanks for the heads up Paul. We will be in daikanyama in December.

Lucky man! Do check out the Google map on my site. We demand photos, of course. And please email me if you're headed for Ueno...

I had almost forgotten this thread - - read back through the entire thing. GREAT thread.

My wife is 38 weeks pregnant, our son could arrive any day now. I didn't realize so many brands have made /still make selvage/dry denim for kids.

I was wondering if anyone has bought their child denim in the last 6 months.

Been toying around with the idea of starting a new long-term tour with some other guys maybe? If that didn't work out I'd really like to track down some good jeans for my son I'm just not entirely sure where to start. Most of what was linked into this thread yields 404 error pages now.

Any suggestions guys?

[pomata]

congrats Robbie!

lol your son hasn't even been born yet and you already worry bout his jeans

[fre-co]

Unfortunately most of the Japanese denim brands that used to do kids jeans no longer do so. Samurai kids are long gone. Warehouse don't make the same half selvedge ones my boy had. Flat head etc don't have kids stuff that I can find. It's a serious concern that when my boy grows put of his current samurais he'll be out of selvedge...

The best kids denim we have found otherwise has been petit bateau. Nice fit and simple unadulterated unwashed denim.

[comicto]

The only 2 brands that I have seen recently are

UES denim:

http://ues.shop.japaneseselvagejeans.com/index_en_jpy_28.html

Baldwin denim:

http://shop.baldwindenim.com/product/kid-b

My sons turning 2 next month and contemplating on getting him a pair.

congrats Robbie!

Gotta start him off right before the aunts and grandparents get in there... I wish I were craft enough to make a chambray onesie or something!

I've been eying the Baldwin, the pricepoint is the only concern at this point given he won't be 2T or 4T for very long.
