If you remember in the last vlog, we took a look at how to spot potential areas of your jeans that were just about to have a blowout.

Blowouts?

Blowouts are inevitable. It is when the fabric reaches a point where it has been so worn that the structure of the fabric simply falls apart. As inevitable as these are, we recommend taking care of these troubling spots before the blowout even occurs. It’s prevention rather than cure and can save a lot of time and money in the long run.

But how?

There are a number of ways to go about this. We take you through each one, showing you the results and discussing their advantages and potential disadvantage so you can decide what’s right for you.

Before turning his attention toward clothing and fashion, Matt Wilson was a product designer. He witnessed first-hand the unethical manufacture of products designed and developed specifically for obsolescence and quickly recognised the inherent dangers of this attitude towards consumerism. A happy chance occurred when he discovered Raw Denim. Fascinated by the narrative contained in each garment, this newfound passion led him into a journey of discovery through the fashion and clothing industry. The qualities he found in a great pair of jeans he soon found in other garments, shoes and accessories. Up until February 2017, Matt was heavily involved with Selvedge Run, a trade show for menswear, shoes and accessories. A home for brands with a philosophy that aligned perfectly with his principles of craft and quality at the core of a good product. He now shares this passion the as the Editor of Rope Dye, an online men’s lifestyle magazine about the passion for well-crafted menswear as well as other cherished products and designs that baulk against today’s throw-away culture.
