I created it, i usually work with a professional pattern maker and through a number of fitting, fine tune and establish my block or pattern. So you should try and find a pattern maker and base it off one of your favorite fitting jeans.
That's wonderful your brining the American dream back and u seem very talented thank you for keeping us updated as well. I will be following u as my sewing career comes back to my life after twenty years. Thanks
In factories they use a special fell 3 needle chainstitch machine which i love and wish I had, I did recently purchase one and in setting up a small sewing factory in Kentucky but that was for another brand i'm working on. Anyway to answer your question....with out the special fell chainstitch machine you can overlock your pieces together, I use a 5 thread overlock with a chainstitch, then press then run an edge stitch then run another single needle stitch a 1/4" from the edge stitch.
The bottom leg hem? I also provide jean alterations, repair work and hemming at my store. But to answer your question yes it does look like a factory made hem. However there's a number of different ways to hem, a regular single needle stitch or a chainstitch, there's also special attachments that you can buy to help fold and sew the hem.
Hey Loren,love you system for making jeans!It is almost the exact system i use.I have been making clothes for about 25 years.Jeans and jean jackets are my addiction!!!!lol.I also have a manual rivet setter and am a rivet freak!I am not as good as u but am good in my own right.Thanks for putting this vid up.You have mad skills!!!
unless you have proper machines it's hard to get that look from the insdie, you can hand fold fell seams but really gets challenging and takes a lot of time. for the most part just make sure your double needle stitching spacing is even and usually 1/4" spacing is pretty classic so makes them look more lagit if you do that spacing.
(I am a dude!) I actually found one at a local store (in Toronto), but thank you very much. Your jeans are amazing; I've been immensely inspired by your work in trying to make jeans myself. Thanks a lot!
I'll at some point post a video of that, but it's the most challenging part of making a jean...at least for me. Can't really explain it with out photos.
thanks for the props!! Hey twiggyjali, keep it up, once you've mastered the fly construction you're there, it's the most challenging. The waistband can be a little tricky too, pre-press a curve before attaching. I'm now on my 85th pair and still practice my fly/zipper construction. I've been lucky, i've worked for large companies and visited factories around the globe and would sit down with the sewers and learn from them. I'm working on a more detailed video, out soon on my website.
Once I go back to the philippines for vacation, I'm planning to take a one on one, week long, sewing class with a skilled seamster/tailor who will guide me in making my own set of jeans in the end. Afterwards, I'll take a course on sewing car uposltry. I would do it locally here in the states, but labor is so cheap in a 3rd world country and the local seamstresses in the USA charge a lot.
I've made jean shorts, now I'm looking into making a full-length pair of skinny-jeans. This was a good thing to watch, I noticed a lot of interesting tips, I guess you could say :)
I'm a dressmaking major at pennfoster college. this is so helpful and makes me so excited. I thank God for this video. lol. yess.. and I'm buying a choc load of fabric & dressmakers supplies in december.. aww.. this is too good.. lol. ha
WOW...i know your a professional and have your store...but i was looking for a simple way to make MENS pajamas or shorts...i get the basic and now have learned how to sew the inner legs....but for men how would sew the "necessary" part for MEN???, it would be nice if you had a video on that...thank you for showing....
Since we've opened we now only make the most premium jeans in the shop. Imported or domestic selvedge denim, we save the non-selvedge for a lower priced brand we design but outsource the production. We also design a mid-price premium jean called BLKSMTH, us cone white oak selvedge 12.5oz denim, one of our more popular brands that sell for $179 in the shop. For the more premium limited, in-house selvedge made jeans we'll cut a small run, 8-12 jeans, right now we're making a 14oz japanese black/black (black weft/black warp) denim. These will take us about 2 weeks to complete as we also are busy with denim repair services. After the black jeans are completed we'll be cutting another run of dark indigo, U.S. Cone Mills "White Oak" 13.5oz jeans.
Those jeans must be worth a fortune !! A side from where the shop is located (NY is a pretty expensive place to live in, in my opinion) but hand made :o wow, dude! That's really cool!!
@couturehooker101 word, i love how many people are doing this and who knows maybe looking back in time and doing it how it was done will soon become the future? :)
Awesome vid. I have found some great Japanese selvedge denim online, so I want to get a pair of jeans custom made from the fabric. Does anyone have any ideas about how I might go about finding someone who can construct them for me?
@ninanee2008 It just looks easy but it take times to learn and be able to do it effectively and with quality. Handmade jeans like these must be around $200 dollars.
hmmm, don't know dude or sorry chick?... try searching ebay or craigslist, they're called Kick press. Ykk sells hand presses? They're hard to come by. You can find new ones at places like Robinson's sewing in Tennessee or old sewing suppliers. good luck.
@ninanee2008 if it took you three and a half hours to make jeans, wouldn't you want the price to be somewhat high? and if people are willing to pay for it, why not?
3,5 hours one trouser , more 3 pants almost 10hours a day and can see a lot of pair of Jeans expo in your store ..how can you be so fast ..sorry looks made manufature some big stock ....I try the same and feels exausted!!!
Many companies that produce thousands of pairs daily have machines that cut the fabric stacked up with machine powered cutting tools. As far as for construction, when you got hundreds of people behind a sewing machine, 100 people will produce 100 jeans in a 3 hours.
hello brane , what about a small production of 10 to 20 jeans per day do you know any type of machine (s) which can afford this production (something automatic and not expensive at the same time )

3,5 hours for a pair of Jeans, now that's fast!
This video's inspired me to make some jeans. Just need to draft my pattern now, and find some denim with lycra in!
thats one of the most challenging parts to sew, i'll have to make a video about that soon. Can't really explain it this way.

those jeans look so comfortable. It's amazing how something it so easy to put together but people want $30-$75 for jeans (even more).
I'll at some point post a video of that, but it's the most challenging part of making a jean...at least for me. Can't really explain it with out photos.

Very nice!! Could you tell me how you make the double seam? Which Overlock do you you use for the side seam.
Loren thanks for uploading!
