A look on the inside of the 1960s Western-style jeans I made last week. I'm always more interested in the inside than the outside, as it says a lot about the construction of the jeans.

Some of the branding on the two pairs of Western-style jeans I made some days ago. It's a lot of fun making my homemade jeans look like actual products.

Two pairs of Western-style jeans inspired by 1960s Wrangler and Maverick jeans are all done!
The paper flasher on the back pocket is just for fun.

Some details on the 1870s-type denim "blouse" I finished a few days ago. As serging was not yet available in those days, most of the seams are left unfinished.

I finally had a bit of time for sewing. An 1870s-type denim jacket, or "blouse", as this type of garment was called in those days. The pattern and construction are very different from denim jackets made in later periods.

Washing Denim in salt water

Washing Denim in salt water - Lemmy NZ

I bought some Edwin 503s in Japan a couple of years ago and they haven’t faded much. I think I’ve soaked them 4 or 5 times. I’m not an every day jeans wearer so that may be the reason they are taking longer. Anyway I live on a sailboat and water is scarce. I talked to an old salt one who said he drags his jeans behind the boat when they are in crystal clear waters to clean them. This sounds like it could create some cool fades but also like it could potentially destroy my jeans. Anybody got any experience with this?

Trying to capture the fades whilst waiting for my kid’s bus. #rawdenim #dadlife
