These are from Grease Point Workwear. One man denim maker out of the Pacific Northwest. He's fantastic. When he says workwear, he really means it. The jeans come standard with double fronts for use for actual manual labor, but I opt to get rid of that because I'm clearly just wearing them for style.
This made me LOL a little bit. My first job after college was on a pipe gang with the City of Chicago, as part of the labor union. I dug out around valves, hydrant flanges, pipe joints etc after the equipment operator dug the hole, prepping it for the plumber. All separate unions, of course (1001, 150and 130). It was insanely dirty and hard work. I would’ve never considered doing that job in a $300 pair of pants.
It is funny. How repro and vintage inspired makers are so meticulous and use old school techniques and materials trying to nail the past. Or as in the vintage inspired and not exact repro makers spend so much time accelerating aging or fades, or using different materials to create new spins on an old look. And some are amazing and certainly deserve the high price tag. Some based on the old school production methods or high cost materials can’t help but charge a steep price. Some not only create a product but could be considered pieces of art, truly some could be. Some are certainly way overpriced. Really and truly overpriced no matter how you break it down. While modern honest work wear can sometimes still be expensive-but 9/10 times its significantly cheaper. Modern workwear standards and safety rules would mean so much of what we like wouldn’t be legal to wear in some places. Some would fail tests to be considered safe at all. We fashionistas, hipsters, vintage lovers, repro lovers, costume wearing, role playing, re-enactors, whatever we call ourselves or are thought to be can spend so much for a look or feeling (and this is no judgment-if I judged I wouldn’t be a member here spending so much time and money. So we’re clear I love it all just as much!) for workwear that in today’s world would be considered a failure.

Thanks brother! Yeah it’s my garage/man cave. Took me over a year to build it, no more building now, just ride my motorcycle and enjoy my leather jackets LOL!
It’s not. It’s a garden variety Buffalo, dyed straight through. I believe the same stuff Levi’s uses on there leather type III. It takes a bit more work to make these cheapo jackets look good I think.
As long as you enjoy wearing it, that’s what matters! Looks a little tight in the guns though.
LOL! Lemmy!Only few could wear them...
