Roy’s Jeans
To go along with yesterday’s post about fashion, this is another interesting video I stumbled upon through some series of clicks and links that began when I found Denim Debate.
Let me begin by saying that I love the idea behind the site:
See how 22+ denim brands stand up against the efforts of the individuals assigned to wear them in. For the next year our contributors -from all walks of life- will live in their brand’s entry. It will be the job of each to bring the denim to its knees, all the while documenting the progress for you to observe.
I’ll just put it out there that I am a sucker for denim, and independently decided to journal the life of my own new raw jeans when I got mine (will have future posts on this). This blog is a great place to see how raw denim ages beautifully with use.
The video above was also interesting to me because I’ve never really known how denim pants are, or were, made by hand. I know many big name brands must automate almost all of the steps, but seeing the craft and art of hand making a pair of jeans really makes me feel fine spending the $200+ dollars on hand made denim. I totally respect the work and effort put into it.
Anyways, enjoy this video and expect my own follow up to the “Denim Debate” soon…
