Just in case anyone gives a shit, here's my first attempt at taming a pair of selvedge jeans. I've got a couple pairs from Naked and Famous and Soso as well, but this is the pair I wear the most. To be honest I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.
Y'know what, let me add one thing. These days you never know what you're going to be in for when you roll up to an online community, and though I was pretty confident that Iron Heart folks would probably be cool, well, you never know.
As for the denim, for a little while I thought for sure I'd made a critical mistake. Maybe not an unrecoverable error or anything, but you get the idea. I'm definitely not thrilled with the marbling, but I didn't even realize that was the term for it before I asked. Hearing that everyone makes those kinds of mistakes is encouraging and reassuring.
So thanks again! I'll see if I can't rustle up a pic of my other Iron Heart pair that I wear a heck of a lot more often. I think they turned out pretty well for a selvedge newbie (they are in fact my very first pair).
Thank you everyone! I appreciate the tips and encouragement.
Hi kids. Got another newbie question: I was wondering if the pictured seams can be repaired. I'm not ready to let these babies fade into the night (so to speak)! I can't help but wonder if they can be reinforced somehow. It's on the inner seam by the crotch, so I'm less concerned with aesthetics than I am with function. Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
