Brant's pants? Great idea, but given my record for wearing out/ripping my kegs in about a week, too spendy for me. If I had an office job, then yes for sure.

If they have very thin pockets that get holes then it's a problem ... 😀

Great idea. British made with passion. God knows that Hebden Bridge needs help after the floods this year. Wish they came pre taken up, I think that's a mistake as it will add cost to buying them. Standard 32" inside leg here. 🙂 Think I will treat myself to a pair.

Yeah, I'd go for a pair of those. Only problem is not being able to try on for fit.

I can envisage a HebTroCo swap shop thread already.

I may well be interested in a pair as £95 is not a stupid cost for quality jeans/trousers but the enthusiasim of brant & edd in the kickstarter vid reminds me of Cheezy Peaz 😀

I hope you're charging extra for larger sizes!

We'll have a sizing chart with waist, rise, thigh width and lower opening listed for all sizes.

edit: I see Ed-O has just answered my q about other measurements. Ta! Hip or widest measurement would be a bonus.

Yes would love a pair, as long as they do a decent long leg option.

I'm interested but £95 (if that's what they'll cost) is a bit rich for me. If they were closer to £50 I'd probably be on it.

Obviously I'm not the target market!

The thing is that a decent pair of trousers, eg older Howies jeans will last a long time, I've just chucked a set away that were at least 9 years old. Where as a set of cheap jeans will last 2 years at most before becoming too holey IME. So it's relative.

37in leg, which will hem to 36in with ease.

So what is the inside leg measurement please?

They're overlocked to 37in, without a hem or turn-up, so can be turned quite happily to a regular hem at 36in inside leg, or a turn-up (should you desire) at 35in or so inside leg.

Just what I was going to post. I've paid a lot for the right product over the years and that's still a serious wedge for a pair of jeans.

Also, WhoTF has a 36" inside leg, Magic Johnson?

The front left pocket has our unique ‘Banker’s Pocket’ built in

I think I spotted a typo - but anything that facilitates a game of pocket billiards is worth £95 of my money.

For anything other than mass-market stuff thats actually pretty keenly priced.- Diminishing returns and that. If its something that you like and lasts then its money well spent - I've been known to spring £200 on a pair of jeans, its not something you want to do very often but the last time I did it was 2003 and they're still ace and I've not bought another pair since, so in the scheme of things pretty economical.

*waves* and thats Mr Johnson to you.

I think they look quite smart. Coupled with a good set of leather boots 😉

They would go very well with a pair of [url= http://www.highsnobiety.com/2016/01/13/converse-hancock-jack-purcell-water-repellent/ ]the new Converse Hancock Jack Purcell vulcanised boots at £125 [/url]….I imagine cynic-al will be wetting himself if he sees this thread.

Hi Al…... how stw are we? 😀

How do we define unique these days? Every pair of Next trousers I've ever tried on have a "bankers pocket", and a couple of pairs of Levis Khakis.

For relatively local folk, could we pop in and try before we buy?

Wait a few months until the effects of China's rising costs kick in and you won't think £95 is all that expensive. Good to see a bit more homegrown apparel manufacturing.

We will be having pop ups in Old Gate Hebden for trouser and beer chats, a local retailer - Dynamite - and potentially a few other pop ups around the place too.

FWIW, I'm comparing the price to a similar operation in Norfolk - [url= http://www.old-town.co.uk/collections/product/products/stove-pipes ]Old Town[/url] - and finding it favourable. I'm also interested in buying from a company with strong links to this website.

When you consider what a good quality pair of jeans costs (and I'm not talking mega-high end ones either), and many of those are made in the Far East, £95 doesn't [i]seem[/i] too pricey. I may well be in...never really been a moleskin man though but it might be worth a shot.

Best of luck with it though. I reckon you'll get enough to get that first run done no problem.
