  • would have liked to see the hem, does it look like the factory made ones, if so how did you achieve that, thanks

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

  • rad.

  • Nice, Loren. Very cool.

  • Hi there.. I have an idea for making a new style of jeans and was wondering if you might could help me with that? Not sure if I want to start my own business or if i just want to sell the idea.. Any of your thoughts would be appreciated..

    Tommy

  • nice work... buy american

  • 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....

  • que hermosos!

  • Ugg.. How much do they cost?

  • 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?

  • @artystrike1 Rabbie Denim in Glasgow, UK.

  • @mtthwklly Awesome, thanks.

    

  • google viapiana ....

  • thats pretty cool..... i constructed gowns and coats. but jeans are my next project. i live on the Navajo Rez in the Southwest, it would be awesome to get a label out there made by Native American Indians. thanks for posting the video, was helpful. i look forward to the next one!

  • 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.

  • @Loren1 Awesome Loren! Looking forward to the more detailed video. I just completely altered an out of style designer pair: boot-cut legs into skinny, took in the waist, butt and crotch. I've been looking everywhere online to see tips for making my new seams look factory (especially in the but seam), but to no avail. Your video was the best so far. Thanks for sharing man!

  • 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 :)

  • sexy.

  • he makes it look so easy...... its not! but im gettin better.....

  • @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? :)

  • why everybody commenting on my stuff so much! i said it looks simple and yet ppl won't so much money for it!

  • Fucken Awesome , Love your shop set up so organized

  • love your redesign work

  • I just checked around and apparently they run from $60 dollars for the simplest jeans up to over $1,000 for custom jeans.

  • beautiful! i want to make a pair myself and would like to buy a pair form loren cronks brand .

  • wow i'm impressed

  • Bitchin

  • 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).

  • @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?

  • @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.

  • @ninanee2008 . Have you made jeans , Why do you say it is easy ????

  • @MushroomBlueGoddess Oh you said looks , my bad . I ve made jeans , and its not easy or hard , it just takes time , if you do it alone

  • Cool!
