*** After placing an order I will email you to determine waist size, inseam, and wash options. I can send unwashed or do a hot, hand wash/line dry after completing. You will also know the exact day your jeans are scheduled to be sewn ***
Tilden Jeans have been updated with the careful guidance of my old friend Roy, of RoyDenim. His years of researching the patterns, fit, construction methods, and balanced proportions of early Levi’s keep me in total awe of his knowledge and dedication.
The denim used for this round is some of the rolls I was able to buy off Roy in 2019. This was specially created for him by the ConeMills White Oak Plant in 2015. 13.5 ounce Pima weft, American ringspun cotton warp, pink selvage, unsanforized loomstate denim.
These are single needle construction jeans. The fit is a balance of hugging the waist with ease of movement through hips and knees. Accomplished through a generous rise typical of traditional mining jeans, these are great to work in or relax.
The front pockets are cut a bit lower and these are zipper fly. Zipper was specially developed for me by YKK Japan in their OldAmerican style line. Pull, stops, and tape are to my specs.
Waistband is snap closure using a DOT American black snap that fades to brass with wear.
Label and other details use an elk hide from my mountain man friend, Clam Man of Salmon Idaho, dry cow elk harvested and tanned 1991 fall season.
I am a one man shop with sewing experience since 1998. Each pair of jeans is hand cut and sewn by myself, one at a time, one pair a day, signed and dated with date of production.
