bigblack Waxing and heating (heat gun or a hair dryer) will shrink them just the same as washing and putting them in a hot dryer. What are you trying to achieve? A water resistant pair of work pants or something styling? I personally don't think waxed pants look good. Only after they've been beat into submission and the dust and dirt have made a patina do they look right.

Thanks wdw. Sadly it doesn't rain to often in LA, however I was going to wax for the purpose of protecting myself while riding my bicycle in the event of rain. BUT i can buy another beater pair of jeans for that purpose Or simply buy a pair of cheap, thin, light overtrousers and wear the canvas whenever you feel like it. |

BUT i can buy another beater pair of jeans for that purpose Waxing is more used for Abrasion proofing and water resistance. They will keep the heat and sweat in. |

I am. I would want the slim dungarees but I'm a 38. A small leg opening is ideal for riding to prevent the leg getting caught in the chain <- has happened multiple time |

bigblack, are you able to say the cost of these? I'd like a natural selvedge shirt from him, but his prices look the same or more as Rakuten IH, but with less history and presumably more of a risk as each item seems a one-off. Having said that, everyone seems happy so far, which is good.

bigblack, thanks. That's quite a difference over CF, but you're getting exactly what you want and about 3 months quicker, so worth it. I thought someone said $190 plus shipping for a shirt, which takes it past IH territory. I'd be interested to see more of his shirts and reviews of them. At the moment, he has speed on his side, but as we've seen from CF, that only lasts a very few months then it's back to the 3 months plus carry-on which is too much for me nowadays.

Get your orders while you can is all I have to say. I've been talking to CF since Feb about getting a jacket made and it doesn't look like its speeding up. |

For me it's more of a jacket then a shirt. |

Ok, you've both talked me into it. I'll ask the question, but what's the best contact, as he's hardly ever here? I don't use FB or IG, so need a good old-fashioned email.

Well I want to let you guys know something about what I'm doing. I saw and checked out some of the other bigger brands, and honestly the quality isn't something that impresses me because I saw that they produce in quantity, so many times they're not as interested in the quality. Not for the owner but for the people that manufacture them. When I make someone's product, we take the enough time to make it, trying to take care of the quality, for example the shirt of digdug, I dedicated my time into it, to make it as he wanted it. I think it's an equal cost. Now the prices, depend on the kind of fabric, some fabrics are worth more. And I will make a price list for any standard work. I will make chinos, basic jeans, military pants, jackets, vests, and shirts and little by little make leather jackets Thank you to everyone who have had interest in us and I will work hard to make the best to impress you guys.

Ok, indigogene, good to see you here. I'm interested in a 12oz natural Selvedge western shirt, similar to the IH 07, 33, 62 etc so have a few questions. Have you done any like that, do you have pics, can you get the natural material, what price would it be and how long between order and shipping? A final question - the IH shirts are too narrow in the sleeve to roll up, but maybe that's made worse by the 12oz fabric. Would yours be any wider? Not Popeye wide, just a little bit more than IH and enough to be able to roll up. |

I am planning for next year , i will be producing more and less time so I can have more products to sell online. Right now I am working slow because I am making the designs I will be selling more later on and I could know what people like the most. Right now I'm making money by making woman's clothes for other company in Scottsdale Az without affecting my brand so I can make more money to spend to my brand and have my own store . So right now I'm working individually with my customers on making their stuff and I love doing it.
