you're supposed to put them in the deep freeze or something to detoxify them.

Wouldn’t mind a pair but I’ve not been able to fit into any high street jeans since they stopped selling loose fit ones, had to get second hand ones, due to large thighs and calves. Doubt they’d fit me, not everyone is skinny.
Tbh the folks we get the most returns from are the skinny legged folks with a bit of a belly.
Our jeans fit cyclists really well. Funny eh?

What about cyclists with a belly?
Hadn’t heard of these until I randomly bumped into Ed in my local boozer in SanSebastian, where he was putting heavy dub reggae on their stereo and spamming the place with hebtroco beer mats. I was not in the market for moleskin trousers however!
Few years later I bought a couple of pairs of the straight cut jeans (177? black/black and blue selvedge). They work out expensive with the postage, but they’re up to the job. The black ones got broken in on a long moto tour around Spain in summer, sweated in 40C days, slept in, smeared in smooshed insects..
In terms of quality I think they’re better than other selvedge kecks I’ve had from the likes of Nudies, APC or Edwin, and tje denim on these is a class apart.

What? I didn’t even think about buying any?
After looking at the website, the jeans look the best value to me. Might try a pair out the next time I need a pair.
So much free advertising.
Use the classifieds to sell stuff.
Just had a look and looks like you discriminate against short people- I need 29” inside leg at most!
Oh well stick to my £25 short legged, wide fitting next jeans.
Brant - did you ever get in to making fell running shoes? I still think there is a market for Inov8 style shoe with a bit more arch support and width
Did anyone listen to Rad Mac today? One of the Chain contestants was brewing beer in York. I'm sure that's what action blanket man's wife said her husband was doing yesterday, and she was also in York. Coincidence?
Post one thousand. That is all
We are only going up to 12 in stock sizes now.
I’ve had a pair of size 8 CXLs in for weeks now with not a sniff so they are discontinued. Just moto, derby and chukka from Lennons now.
Some other boots following soon too I hope.
Couple of hours left on this offer

As i said above, I missed out first time round so this has swung it for me, I've ordered
Balls, I bought a pair of those a week ago. Lovely they are too, now do I need a second pair...

Me too I did try a couple of sizes on the 177s (I think) but too long and too high rise for me by about an inch.
Love my action blanket though* ;o)
*Not that I've worn it out the house yet.
Edit - tried on, great material but cut wrong for me
Don't worry they'll refund you the difference, or offer you a place on the next Hebden Bridge stone balancing workshop (once Covid-19 is under control and the river levels drop)

Full MemberYep also bought some canvas jeans on the strength of this thread only to find three days later they’re £30 cheaper.
Boo!
Email me and I will credit you £30.

Thats pretty flipping impressive! Well played Brant.
Yep, thanks Brant but have since edited comment. If you made these material in the other cut(s) I'd be in like Flynn, but these just didn't suit me.
Thanks though.
Also apologies - when I re-read my first post it reads like booing you, I didn't mean it to, was a general 'just my luck' boo, but that's why i deleted it.
That's amazing Brant, thanks a lot. I have emailed you.
Had a pair of the GVNR canvas jeans arrive today. They're really rather nice 🙂
They have a few things on sale at the moment. I've bought a shirt. Seems to be made nicely and fits well 👍
Considering an action blanket for house based inaction this winter. 😵💫
They need to do some insulated trousers
Thanks for flagging Simon.
Simondbarnes: The Moleskin trousers are very dense, too much for summer but spot on through the winter
Must say I'm pretty tempted by the moleskins for winter now my near legendary Howies flannel lined 'Warm Jeans' are finally starting to fall apart.
I got a pair of the J5 jeans. They're very nice.
If you’re thinking of getting the moleskin trousers, but are having second thoughts becasue of the cost ;just do it, they’ve been my go to winter trousers since I got them (one of founders batch) they’re indestructible as far as I can tell, and just get better with age.
I brought a pair of moleskin kecks but the fir was wrong for me. Too baggy:<

Cheers Ed. Will take me until Spring to save up enough money (probably longer given energy price rises). Oh well.

Not everyone can just magically find £150. Working in a bike shop isn't exactly the best paid job in the world 🙂
Anyone else seeing a lot of ads for Hebtroco on Facebook of late?
Loving the comments on them (and the replies!) - favourite so far is 'Eddie Yeats jeans'. 🙂

No, I sacked off facebook a long time ago.
I did get some socks last week when brant got pissed and put a voucher code on Twitter for a pair of free socks. I did buy a pair as well. Both lovely. Got some Merino Hiker Socks in red and some Merino Pink Dick socks.
Both pairs are lovely and I would highly recommend them if you want to treat your feet 😁
I'm dying to buy a pair of HebTroCo jeans but can't make out much from the photographs. Seems a lot to be buying blind. Last time I looked there was no photographs of the back of the jeans for example. Bit worried about sizing with online buying too. Wonder whether one could buy a few pairs and send back the ones that don't fit.

I'm sure that would be an option. Measuring a pair of jeans that you own and like the fit of is a good starting point - compare with the measurements on the site. Pretty sure that's what I did.
Edit - some of them have pics from the back

Their website does not get on with my devices. iPhone: ok but tiny screen. Windows: no pictures. Mac: some pictures when you mouse over the white bits.
We have found some ad blockers, not accepting cookies and that sort of stuff can make things not appear. Seems to be not uncommon on “non standard” set ups.
Would love to hear bug reports so I can keep our IT Crowd busy this weekend so drop us a line on hello@hebtro.co with your device info and I’ll have them look at it.

hi Brant
Sorry to ask stupid questions - but, you know, Friday
If I get two pairs, and one's on backorder, I'm assuming they both come out when that size comes into stock?
ta!

Yes - we wouldn't tend to split ship (especially if you're not paying for shipping!).
M16 34/32's are on backorder and should be in later next week. Some shorter leg lengths are on backorder but we can turn those round pretty fast.
