Over the decade I've been into raw selvedge denim, I've had maybe a dozen real… project pairs… and yeah, I have picked up way more pairs of jeans than is ever reasonable. I have also picked up a few sundries. These are not accessories. They are not complementary pieces of clothing… They are just things that I would say are pretty much essential for the health and wellbeing of my jeans and just make life in your jeans that little bit easier
And so today I am running through the top 5 things that I have picked up along the way that I find pretty much essential.

The intro - so relatable. The brush is great for pet hair too.

@CeeAreDee 3 года назад

Always use a lint roller for that... but not exactly good for the environment ... I should give the brush a go for that too...

@namebrandmason 3 года назад

I don't have a hat brush for comparison, but there are purpose-built "garment brushes." They're usually used as an alternative to a lint roller for cleaning up suits and overcoats. I got mine from Muji for about $7

@dukerobinson5421 3 года назад

Hi Matt. Those hooks look useful. Thanks for the tip. One thing I've used a lot is a pant waist stretcher from ebay. If you have a pair of jeans that are slightly too tight, you dampen the waist and install the waist stretcher and start cranking. Let it dry. Voila. Your tight waist jeans are now fitting comfortably. It really works great, even on sanforized denim. Take care.

@CeeAreDee 3 года назад

Nice! It doesn't mess with the proportions?

@dukerobinson5421 3 года назад

@@CeeAreDee On the contrary. It often will completely correct the over-shrinkage in the waistband that I find is common on unsanforized denim.

Oni's demon patch is very cool.

@CeeAreDee Год назад

True that.

@charlesbronson240 3 года назад

Holy shit you’re 40?! Oh also Bravestar’s patch is great, crazy thick. They use the same veg patch for their indigo jeans but they use a chrome tanned one for the black pair i have and some of their jackets use some brown chrome tanned patches.

@CeeAreDee 3 года назад

Haha, yeah... well, in a couple of months. The big 40.😂😂

@jesterje 2 года назад

The best leather patch I have is from my Naked & Famous X Dragon Ball Z collab, the Vegeta patch. NF doesn’t have veg tan for all their product but when they use it it’s pretty cool.

@Coleone139 Год назад

I own tons of selvedge, including brave star. Surprisingly, Taylor Stitch. My 68’ Cones have the beefiest leather patch I’ve seen yet💯

@leoeli577 3 года назад

I know a brand I think you'd like to review! It is called Jeansverket. It's a really small denim brand based in my hometown Borås, in Sweden. Selvedge, raw denim and so on. Sustainable clothing, seems pretty good quality too. They don't have a women's line yet and their sizes are too big for me unfortunately so I can't try them out, but, yeah. Seems pretty cool!

@CeeAreDee 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing!! I had a look and I need to take a deeper dive into them. They look like they are doing a good job tho.

@jurgenbrandt642 3 года назад

Bravestar's patches are really nice. I've created a hanger for my denim, made of 3 small screw hooks, a bit of leather and a wooden curtain rail (taken from the 'BSR'). So far the most useful item

@CeeAreDee 3 года назад

Yeah, the Bravestar jeans look like a great deal overall. And I like the DIY attitude.

@robertalmond9083 3 года назад

I was pretty pissed off about a online purchase I made for selvedge denim that I couldn't return. They fit way too small. Now I just use the pair as scraps for denim repairs. Also, sand paper blocks work really well for distressing. Very new discovery for me.

@CeeAreDee 3 года назад

Never really self distressed my denims. Suchs with the wrong fit tho. I don't buy online much but always make sure they have a good return policy.

@robertalmond9083 3 года назад

@@CeeAreDee the sand paper block I just discovered while I was at work. I work in a Home Improvement Depot as a overnight associate unloading building material trucks. I beat up my denim a lot but some areas weren't getting as much love. That's when I discovered the sand paper block. I tested it on one of my project pairs of denim and it surprised me how well it worked. I'll have to see what happens after I wash them.

I would really reccomend buying obenaufs leather conditioner, most boot makers recommend It and some even sell it on their website, and saddle soap is really important before conditioning, especially if you are using it on boots.

Pure blue japan has amazing leather patches

@Coleone139 Год назад

Oh yeah, good detergent. I use brave stars. I’m assuming you don’t collect boots huh? Use red wings leather cream instead of boot cream. The boot creams more of a polish and not much of a conditioner. What you’re using now is fine. You can also use something heavier like mink oil if you don’t mind it being a little darker. I find it good to actually apply it before the wash too to prevent that crinkling. Then apply after too. Tedious I know. You could peep ya boy on IG, same name, same game homie. You’ve got some good content btw👌

@canadafree2087 3 года назад

In North America, Walmart sells rubber coated S hooks in the closest section where they have all the hangers. I use Kent clothes brush on my dress clothes, is the hat brush soft or rougher than a clothes brush? I just used Saphir multi-purpose leather cleaner on a leather patch last night. lol

@willisix2554 3 года назад

Check out Brave Star They might

@CeeAreDee 3 года назад

Hmm, you could look at some japanese brands... they are cut a little shorter. Or size down on a Type 1 or 2. they were boxy and therefore quite cropped. The alternative would be to find a good tailor. I cant imagine it would be too much of a task to shorten a jacket.

Interesting. I wear my selvedge about 50-100 times, clean them in hot or cold water in the tub (whatever I'm feeling at the time), hang them to dry in the sun, and have never required any of the essential items you mention. They get worn daily, maybe a spot clean here and there, but hell, this is denim. It's not as finnicky as people like to act.

As a leather crafter, it is a bit silly to hear people in raw denim community think VegTan leather as special. It is very cheap and easy to made/stamp, guys. 😂
