Selfmade 14oz Workpants, One Year Final Update

This will be my final update for this pair of pants which are going to be retired. Made last year for the Indigo Invitational, they have served me well every day at work in the woodshop I manage.

The denim is 14oz Indigo-Sulphur from KS Denim with prominent vertical slubs that appear like rain falling down. The dye was very stubborn to fade and ultimately didn't fade enough to be worthy of high placement, which is a shame as I love the steel blue hue.

The biggest thing I gained from wearing these for a solid year is design insight, which I used to create my next version. The selvedge outseams were too limiting and ultimately were left behind for greater shaping potential.

Will I do this again next time? I am not sure. It's extremely limiting and honestly has been a disappointment for me each time I do enter a Denim competition. I might be better off just watching rather than trying to out fade others.
