Back in denim

[Sloan1874]

Interesting story about how a jeans factory in Cardigan, Wales, which was the victim of 'bottom line' economics, has been re-opened, staff re-employed and now specialising in quality denim.

Nice to see....

Looks very good stuff - nice attention to detail

And by all accounts, quite reasonably-priced.

£230 for straight leg selfedge.

A little dear. Freddies (albeit without the extra bits of detail) are £75..........

I obviously didn't get that far into the website :eusa_doh:. I saw £100 and £160, which is do-able, but yes, I'd have to really like them to pay £230. Or have won the Lottery... But there's a market out there for that price bracket, just look at the lust for Japanese denim.

I bought a pair of Aero/Ironheart collaborations for half price -- £125 -- when they parted ways. Wearing them now. Sure they'll last me for life. I used to wear APC before that. Never been a fan of cheap denim.

Great to see these little speciality businesses springing up, trying to put my custom the way of the craftsman & not the mass produced rubbish that is becoming all too common. Have found this forum a goldmine for digging out the little gems...Freddies etc etc. Wish Hiutdenim well.

They seem to be low rise jeans- the size guide says they sit on your hip - this is a knee jerk reply as I haven't converted the 'in cms' rise at front and back into inches or measured jeans I own which have the best rise for my vintage jackets.
