Material is very important when ordering a pair of custom jeans.  Please read the details that pertain to each fabric and make sure you know what you are ordering.

**Any material that says “unsanforized” means that it is loom-state and will shrink (5-10%). However, you can choose upon checkout if you would like the material to be preshrunk.  The rest of the materials are sanforized and should not have any problems with shrinkage (1-3%).

S&P short for “salt & pepper” is woven in France by an amazing small mill, Manufacture Metis. I has a decent weight for a dressier style pant or a lightweight work pant. Also available for shirts.

I-180OD 16oz Unsanforized right hand twill. This is a beautiful material woven in Japan by the famous Nihon Menpu. Guaranteed to have beautiful fades as the dying is second to none and its quite stiff.

I-179W 14.5oz Sanforized left hand twill. If you love “nep”, this material is for you. It has a very nice texture and its guaranteed to get softer and smoother to the touch as it ages due to the weave being left hand twill.

I-178PD 11.5oz Unsanforized right hand twill. This denim is for those that want a lighter weight material without sacrificing the texture and character. It’s going to age beautifully as its from Nihon Menpu.

i-YD01 11oz Unsanforized right hand twill. This denim will become quite dark after its first soak, or wash. (Please specify if you want me to do this before i make it as it’s unsanforized). It has a very loosely woven feeling to it. A very good lightweight alternative.

I-177W 10oz This denim is PERFECT for a great workwear pair. Lightweight but rigid as its woven a little tighter than normal. This denim has a nice hairy texture. Yes, hairy is nice…..

i-176W 10oz This denim feels heavier than 10 oz right off the bat. However, it breaks in beautifully as both the warp and weft are indigo dyed. It’s a great denim to break in for some real deep tones and striking fades.

i-175W 10oz This denim is a perfect chore coat material. It would also be super nice as a shirt as well.

i-174BD 14oz This denim is a little lighter in colour than most. It has a lot of vertical streaks which adds character.

i-168PD unsanforized 13.6oz (feels heavier) right hand twill. This double indigo denim has an large amount of slub which makes the fading potential amazing! The smaller swatch is the washed version of the raw larger piece.

i-167WD 9.3oz sanforized right hand twill. This denim is super lightweight and I’d recommend it in a shirt any day! If you wanted some super lightweight jeans for summer this could be an option for you.

i-163RD 13.5oz (14.5oz after wash) unsanforized right hand twill. This material is amazing. I love the colour, the fades, the subtleties and just the overall way this one feels. Yes, I made myself a pair of these.. And yes, I like it… so much that I made myself another.

i-165RD 12.5oz unsanforized right hand twill. This denim is from the first batch of repros that was woven by cone in the early 2000’s. This denim is perfect for the “repro” obsessive or anyone who wants a pair in a classic true blue look.

i-137BR 15oz right hand twill – sanforized. This material is an easy wear (loose weave) with a lighter more “blue” look to it than usual.

i-154RD 13oz sanforized right hand twill. This denim has a lot of nep in a few colours, though the white fibers are easiest to see. The warp is made from your standard indigo rope dyed 100% cotton fibers, but the weft is made from cotton, acrylic, and polyester. This blend will make the weft look as if its woven with wool. The denim will fade just as any other denim will!

i-150W 14oz unsanforized right hand twill. This denim although woven in Thailand, has great depth of colour and fades amazingly. I definitely approve of its quality.

i-131G 13oz right hand twill – sanforized. This very dark indigo also has a “dirty” weft. It will produce some very yellowish fades. The shiny gold selvage is also a plus.

i-135WA 13.8oz right hand twill – sanforized. This woven “Wabash” denim is a hit with the workwear crowd. Very tightly woven and result in crispy fades.

i-132RD 14.5oz right hand twill – sanforized. This denim has a “twisted weft” which basically means that the horizontal thread that is usually white is made up of two threads of different colours. This is a very loose weave, and that will make these a very easy wear.

I-119RD 14.8 oz right hand twill. possibly the starchiest denim i have in the shop. guaranteed crispy fades.

i-110G 12oz sanforized right hand twill. This is a lightweight denim that has a bit of gold flair in its selvage id.

D-HIC 10.5oz unsanforized left hand twill. This yarn dyed material will only be up for a few pair as i only have a limited quantity. Nihon Menpu does it again with their eye for detail.

Rivets are a subtle way to bring out the colour in a pair of jeans.  Mind you, they are not mandatory.  You can have bar-tacks (straight or x’s) if you want.

The buttons that I use are nickel and toxic free.

The branded back cinche buckles were custom made for me by an artisan in Bangkok. The other ones are from YKK.

I use the finest leathers for all my patches. Treat your leather nicely and it will age beautifully. For all my vegan friends, pick the cloth patch.. I didn’t kill any cows.

I use a core-spun thread which has the fading properties of cotton with the strength of nylon.
