    Fantastic. Totally worth the price when you consider the overall impact on who is making them, where they are made, keeping this skillset in the U.S. not allowing persons to be paid a garbage wage in a country (turkey, bangladesh, china, mexico etc) and in a country or place in the world where they have no respect for the water, the neighborhood, or the environment overall when jeans are being made and processed. So glad you do this/did this. Heartbroken that the Cone Mill in NC shut down this december. If the average murican took just a few thoughtful minutes to really consider, all that they effect by purchasing handmade, unwashed/raw or selvedge or sanforized denim from a maker in the US, they might realize the dollar cost is wholly worth it. Its not about just the dollar amount its about putting your money where your mouth is to get a fine and sturdy product avoiding all the things working class Americans complain about: not having enough U.S. jobs, U.S. skills, outsourced labor, cheap materials, good working conditions, companies that care etc. When someone buys denim from you, they avoid all that and keep it at home and in the best sense possible. Cheers and thank you for what you have done.

    Never owned a pair and came across this because of my own interest in creating my own jeans. I appreciate their care and passion, and after seeing this I’ll be grabbing a pair 100% 😊

    What sewing denim jeans, How much fabric would you say in metres length it takes to makes 1 pair of jeans (Waist 42" INSEAM 36") with a width of 150 cm? Your best caluclated guess would be okay.

    • @musecratelive7682
      @musecratelive7682 Před 2 lety

      8 miles of denim to make half a pair of jeans so you'll need 50 miles in total to just make the belt loops. Best of luck!
