Garmology - A podcast about clothes, and stuff.

A twisty tale of endurance - With Chris Hewitt, Hewitt Denims Mills (#92)


Listen Later

Today's guest is Chris Hewitt. Chris started out in 2008 wanting to make a pair of sustainable jeans. He'd been dealing in vintage for a while and had a mate that had briefly worked in the fashion industry, so how hard could it be? Harder than he'd imagined, as it turned out. Tune in for the twisty tale of trying to find fabric, spending all your money on strange samples, having some denim woven in the UK and then trying to sleuth who actually wove this denim, striking deals over a mug of tea and a biscuit, and... This is a tale of true endurance.
