😄 this is so true!! #selfedge #selvedge #denim

My method of making button holes on a regular domestic zig-zag sewing machine. I move the needle by hand one pair of zig-zag stitches at a time, manually crossing two threads in between every pair of stitches. It takes me about 5 minutes to make a button hole, but the result is similar to that of industrial buttonhole machines.

Eureka self-made buckles. I made most of these about 20 years ago before replica buckles were available.

Heavily oxidized brass buttons and self-made copper rivets on a Lee-inspired pair I made over 20 years ago. Starting to be vintage in their own right?

Found some rare herringbone selvedge denim with 17-mm bands of alternating left- and right-hand twill. Slightly heavy (about 16 oz). Think I'll make a type-1 jacket out of this.

If you find an imperfection “scar” in the fabric, then everyone will be disappointed.
But when I saw a lot of scar from one roll, I came up with a unique idea.
That is Yosaburo, a kabuki’s main-character.
He is outlaw guy.
His body had 34 sword scar, and he was proud of it (by turning defiant to chagrin)

This jeans is scar by the failure of the loom-machine in almost every piece. I used that part on purpose, of course.
There are 3 types of scar is warp and weft, respectively.
I requested my friend Raoul to make it. He sympathized with the idea and added his own idea to the label and show card.
It was an incredible achievement, so I can't wear it for a while!

This may be a very bad jeans by common sense, but only one could be made from selvedge denim over 30 yards. In other words, think of it as valuable jeans like fillet steak.
I once again thank Raoul.

The new product is Old. 2-Prong snaps were mainstream in jackets before the ‘70. Currently 99% is a tubular press stud. It was due to the improvement of the accuracy of the high speed machine and cost reduction. However, there are many advantages of 2-Prong system. It is especially effective for fabric. I want to spot light on this old fastening item again.
