Hebden Bridge Trouser Company

Whilst there is some predictable comedy in this farce its shame we cant have some decent clothes made in the UK without the aid of child slave labour or cloth production that pollutes someone elses country.

I would go for better value and less hipster style if anyones considering a UK Troos mk2.

Is he the guy from EastEnders?

Think so. Thats the one with the pub isn’t it.

Wilburt – Spencers Trousers of Friendly which, coincidentally, is near Hebden might be who you’re looking for.
In business for decades before the trousermen; 7 day turnaround for made to measure; wide range of fabrics – there is a concentration of mills and dyers within 50 miles of them.
No, I have no connection with them.

Here you go if anybody is stuck for some trews!

Haven’t read the thread, but must be a good ‘un given the pages…

Couldn’t see the busienss model from the start – and amazed at the price that people were prepared to pay from the outset. But good luck to them if they can switch from bikes to breeks successfully.

Just off for a MTB ridee in a £6 pair of Lidl workman’s shorts, so what do I know?

so what do I know?

That Lidl do shorts for £6 that you ride in?

And they were very comfy too – if a little warm tbh

So theres a new story to tell then?

Ed said: “As our brand has grown, we’ve realised that people want to buy products with a story, and they want to feel connected with where it comes from and how it’s made.

“We heard about this cotton mill that was opening up a couple of years ago and it was so exciting. The story of English Fine Cottons is a great one and it fits with ours perfectly.”

I have to say that I’m put off buying, I’m sure the owners aren’t bothered though.

Maybe it doesn’t matter if it’s a true story, just so long as it’s a sellable one.

it doesn’t and from both sides you’ll get some dickhead thats actually read enough on the internet to believe anything thats written on it and then try and pass it off as fact

Trousers lol!

I guess it all depends what you want from your premium priced item. If you are looking for quality or story, lifestyle and quality?

I have most of my clothes tailored, as primarily because I can afford to, but equally I’m pretty scrawny and have big thighs. So made to measure looks better and I like the quality. But I don’t really care about the story bit, I just want to look good in nice gear. If I’m unlucky my trousers might tell the story of what I last ate! ?

Seems the Brant has just gone a bit overboard on the story for something that’s essentially just a pair of keks. It never mattered that his cheap frames needed a coke can shim as the target buyers where quite happy with this as they ticked other boxes. But the premium buyers are just a bit more ****.

Hopefully the storm will pass and all those involved in this increasingly grimy story will keep trading successfully. I can’t see Rapha getting in this message, but I imagine there are more people guiding the ship.

tbf I’m founder no175 and I like mine but they have got quite an old-fashioned high waist; I’m tempted to get a pair cords. in a perfect world I suppose it would have been nice for shorties to carry on with hebcotro but the world isn’t perfect is it, most importantly I hope the seamstresses at shorties still have work from wherever the next trouser buyer comes from.

I see someone has been busy changing their EBay descriptions and deleting comments off Facebook despite ranting about others doing the same. 😆

Actually looking and digging and knowing someone has done this is next level weird. Jesus, haven’t you got anything better to do?

It is raining and he’s already fired one out this morning.

well they are not alone in updating/changing their website though you seem to dislike them doing it more than others

I thought the eBay comments were made by a 3rd party, not Mr Pickles?

Still, at least they’ve been saved for posterity on this thread.

3…2…1…

(It would be nice to think that this represented a cessation of hostilities between all the parties involved)

What makes you think I went to such effort? But thanks for taking the time of out your busy day to reply.

No it’s not and twice I’ll have you know.

No, I just think it’s ironic.

Heh.

Maybe we should cut them some slack(s), it’s probably in their jeans.

Don’t worry, I’ll zip it.

We just got to a million quid.

One million pounds

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Cheers. Turnover is vanity and all that but it’s been a nice number to get to, with many bumps in the road!

That’s a lot of trousers.

I need some new ones as I put on weight. Something that’s never been heard of.

This piece we wrote a few weeks ago covers the issues raised earlier in this thread regarding our first supplier.

Made. Right. Here.

This. Bloody trousers haven’t stretched with my waistline…

I was a 30″ waist for years until I discovered omeprazole, turns out digesting food is good for you.

omeprazole

Interesting. I’m just (I think) fixed after having H Pylori for about 35 years. Might not have gone yet, but I’m a ton better.
Have put on weight and my hair is (very slightly) growing back!

It’s ace.

Yeah I’ve had no luck a the the hair bobble except on my ears.

Our supplier, after starting up his own direct to market brand (unknown to us), stopped suppling us. Now his factory is closed and appears to have gone into receivership.

That was my take on the original bun-fight.

Never mind that though, who’s stolen Ed’s moustache?

I believe a single hair from his ‘tache is woven into every pair of pants.

Fair play chaps. I hope the future continues this way for you.

P’raps I need to save for some troos.

nice job, trouser folks. I succumbed last year, and I do like mine 🙂

Great stuff. which reminds me, I do need socks

ha – @Drac — I’m still holding out on the 30″ waist. Or maybe they’ve just got -bigger- which would be disappointing..

Probably not even 30 anyway.
