There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

Like many here, I have IH jeans that don't fit me anymore. Can a tailor repurpose it to create something else? Like use the fabric to stitch it into something else?
Also, what is the best thing you can do when there is nobody to buy or wear your jeans?
You could make tote/shoulder bags out of them, (loads of vids on youtube) fun to do but you need a hd sewing machine for denim. I did make one from a pair of wrangler realtree camo cargo pants that is still in use after a couple of years. The pockets make good outside storage on the bag.
IH eco/recovery denim totes….....now theres a thing
Well, I think the fabric is too good to be made into a Tote bag.
Say you have a pair of jeans that has become small in the thighs..Now, can't you undo the stitching, add a fabric of the same kind, and increase the room in the thighs? I know it will look very odd, but if boro patchwork can look cool, so can this, right?
Also, I would rather attempt making a Tote bag out of some cheaper fabric. Where did you get your sewing machine from?

Does the overdyed 21 oz retain the same hand and softness as the regular 21oz? Thanks

Mnaaa… depends what you mean. The surface of the denim has a different feel to it after OD-ing. It's feel sort of dry, maybe a little less soft. But the suppleness of the fabric, how in folds and creases, that is the same.

Thanks @neph93 that answers my question. The surface feel of the fabric is one of the things I like most about the flagship.

Ok, so I was perusing the Pronto blog and came along this “Larry Smith” brand jewelry… anyone have any clue at all why they’re making, and why Pronto is selling F***ing Swastikas? Please correct me if I’m
Wrong. Are they not swastikas?
-
They are, but swastikas have a long, interesting and benign history before they were co-opted by assholes.

Thanks Reuben. I do understand that. But some shit you just can’t come back from…. I would think

Uncultured American i am

I’m curious about the origins of it. The stigma is strong but I am interested in the history. Thanks bro. Up with Eddie are ya??

It's found all over the world. Lots of swastikas are used in Native American jewellery and it is used a lot in Japan. Just because it was appropriated by a regime, does not mean it has to stop being used by peoples who have used it for millennia….
