Since starting my studies at university I have had the opportunity to wear my nice, smart Eglington clothes more often.
My jeans in particular have had a good work out, to the extent that I had entirely worn out the backside in a pair.
I guess I can now officially be called a 'shiny bum'.
Luckily, Mum came to the rescue and I went from one pair of 'good' jeans to a repaired pair and a new pair very promptly.
My new jeans are the same design which are super comfortable and smart.
The stretch denim fabric has a lot of give which is good for me to tackle the trek up and down the hills at Flinders.
I guess I am saying I really like my new jeans and hope I don;t wear the backside out of the too soon.
Thank you for reading

I am so intrigued by this "wool denim"! Is it wool, using a twill denim weave? Does it have cotton in it too? It sounds lovely and warm for winter jeans, and I expect you hardly ever have to wash them ...
ReplyDeleteI am not sure of the percentage Inder, I will check out the tag next time I am in store.
DeleteIt has a fluffy finish on the inside and smells quite 'woolly' when you press it. It is a lot softer than cotton denim and spot cleans well.
Hugo says if he gets caught in a drizzle it does't soak through to his skin.
I wash them in a wool wash when they need it.

Fabulous! I wonder if I'll ever be brave enough to sew jeans for my boys too. Must feel worth it when they're literally worn out!
ReplyDeleteHe had completely worn the arse out of the pale blue ones. I dropped in a new patch of the same denim (Tildy still had some in her making basket) and then machine stitched it in white. It looks okay.
DeleteHe is still wearing them so I guess they must be.
Once you get the fit, it is straight sewing. Five hours?
