The crowded market certainly is the main reason they didn't sell. But of all the pants those had the most unflattering butt shot. Like a crease over the whole back because they were too big on the model? Maybe this just doesn't work for most jeans customers while tailoring customers are more forgiving (being used to drape, pleats). That's just my guess. Some details have crossover potential but others don't.

I have no idea. Let's let the market settle, find some nice denim and have another crack at it, something will turn up, it always does, right?

The cinch back when tightened does have a propensity to create that crease down the middle instead of a clean drape off the backside.

Only noticeable if the trousers are too big which is the case seen on some of the pictures.

I noticed we don't see many pics of the denim jacket on instagram. Did one of you buy it and could shoot Simon some customer pics? Especially on a bigger guy!

I'm a big guy and I will order one, just have to wait to the end of this month. picture will be posted!

Great! I am convinced this will look badass with a little wear.

Saw this photo on FB and bloody love it - especially the bike! Period-appropriate motorcycles are such a great prop to make clothes look cool. Is this guy near London? This is the sort of photo that would look amazing in a promotional look book. Souldn't be too hard to find a bunch of guys with bikes willing to get involved....

You know my feeling on the denim, too: make those brakemans with the Yardboss kevlar lining, add some knee and hip armour pockets on the inside, and get the hell on the blower to the AceCafe and Built magazine.....

**Unkraut** · 03-20-2018, 01:22 PM

I don't know Edward. There is only one person asking for the Kevlar so far and that's you. Not saying it's a bad idea but it comes with extra costs. We would need a bigger demand to justify the expense and the higher price. Since most customers are very sensitive to higher prices it just makes sense to keep the production costs as low as possible.

Okay, just put in chocolate and also a navy version for sampling

I thoughy big b would come in indigo herringbone next.

I don't know if chocolate is too close to last year's summer cotton pants either. Tobacco or Rust?

Because I thought workhouse was Simon's name for the vaugan stuff.

Yes, but I am interested in a vaugan suit with wide leg trousers. With the current tapered ones, not so much.
