    Anytime you are looking for video ideas, one thing I would love to see would be how to add belt carriers to my jeans. Women's jeans really cheap out! And curvier women need more than one single belt loop in the back.
    The clothing history is wonderful, what a fun way to introduce the video. I could listen to you all day!

    I've found your videos on denim patching to be so useful. My hemming problem is a bit different though because the jeans I'm working with have a big hole on the heel side from being walked / dragged on the floor. I'd love to see some tips on dealing with a hole like that and re-hemming (a bit shorter). ❤ Thanks for all your tips!

    • @DowntownTailoring
      @DowntownTailoring  Год назад +1

      I'd patch it using a soft material, even interfacing, and then make the hem or even better adding a Eurohem. Cheers 😊

    How Levi began:
    One of Levi’s customers was a tailor named Jacob Davis.One day the wife of a local laborer asked Jacob to make a pair of pants for her husband that wouldn’t fall apart. Jacob tried to think of a way to strengthen his trousers and came up with the idea to put metal rivets at points of strain, like pocket corners and the base of the button fly. These riveted pants were an instant hit. Jacob quickly decided to take out a patent on the process, but needed a business partner to help get the project rolling. He immediately thought of Levi Strauss, from whom he had purchased the cloth to make his riveted pants.
    Davis wrote to Levi to suggest that the two men hold the patent together. Levi, being an astute businessman, saw the potential for this new product, and agreed to Jacob’s proposal. The two men received patent #139,121 from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on May 20, 1873.

      And the first pants were made with another material first that was sold by Levi and later substituted by the denim 😊😊😊 I love this story so much! Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

    A request please, can you share (a video) of the types of sewing machines you use? I have several home sewing machines but they don't handle sewing jeans from scratch, or hemming. I'm in the market for a commercial machine and I would like to know what to look for. Thank you.

      You might want to look for an older machine with metal gears (1970s or earlier). They are made like tanks and can sew anything, jeans to leather. Singer and Kenmore are good brands.

      I have a question. I took my jeans to a tailor and asked for a euro hem but he used a slightly different color thread on the hem. ( original was orange and the one he used is yellowish) can it be redone with the orange thread and/ or does it really worth it? Sometimes i feel like it is only visible to me you know

    • @DowntownTailoring
      @DowntownTailoring  Месяц назад +1

      @@eyematrak Hi! I understand your frustration. But keep in mind that it would be impossible for a tailor to carry all the colours. In my case, I’d do the same, making it with the most similar color. Anyway if my customer is not happy, I’d do it again with the thread they provide. I mean, you could try to find a color of your liking and give it to the tailor. I’m sure they will be happy to help. Cheers
