Some of my projects: a pair of jeans and ccp J-shape pant(prototype)

[nevermind]

laugh out loud [74] no wayyyyyy he is the true definition for artisan

im not thinking of delving into the industry but its always cool to imagine.

question - does anyone know how long it would take for poell to make a pair of his jeans?

i know mainstream industrial jeans can be made in 20minutes flat. how long would it take to make his

I think Zam gave his estimates somewhere. Maybe he can post here again.

Well It depends on the method you use, Poell's Jeans are part artisanal (Part Factory made?) so on rough calculations, i am assuming about 2 hours, (bearing in mind the complexity in creating his signature asymmetrical, welt/patch pockets and that certain parts of his garments are hand sewn). I made an Overlock cotton pinstripe pants for myself awhile back and it took me about 4-hours to do, because i took great care in making them and fully lining them with silk Georgette. I haven't worn them as yet. I will wear them with my Margiela Dinner Shirt with embroidered bib when Lady- Z comes to town next month.

For someone with basic sewing skills making them entirely by machine should take about 3-4hours maximum, Albert's took a lot longer because he sew the overlock stitches entirely by Hand!!!!!!!![79] ................... admire him for that kind of patience and dedication.

^ hehehe. Let's just say I watched a whole ton of movies while working on those pants (I still need to rework the waist as per your suggestions Zamb! Gonna be a winter break project haha).

Didn't Albert also line his pants as well? Entirely consructed by hand? Oi!

[Chinorlz]

^yep!

To create the twist of the CCP pants/jeans you have to fully line them. The twist is generated by offsetting the lining with the outer layer and then stitching them together. It's a bit tricky because you have to think about the silhouette and how much fabric will be "used up" by the twisting while retaining a slim leg look and feel! Tricky, but definitely do-able!
