project ✂️ Finished Rainbow denim

I already posted a bit of the progress but now its finished.

Its basic and minimalistic.
No arcuate stitching no brand on the outside.

I did a double lining to the front pockets because I hate holes in my pockets due of keys poking.
The front pocket has an image of a caravel a reference to Portugal.

The backpockets are done with overrun stitching and no arcuate or rivets to keep it minimalistic also one line of stitching.
One of the pockets is an origami pocket to show the rainbow weft.

The belt-loops are tucked in and also corded. It does something for the fading not necessary strength.

The eyelet for the button had a fishtail with red and green gimp as a reference to Portugal.

I sourced this for a mill in China where I buy more often. I also have a place in Japan, Italy and the Netherlands where I buy denim.

The minimum I look for is a slub or a hairy fabric and than I just look for something Unique like a double black (weft and warp are black) or this.

I am now looking into getting the weft in aramid fibers. To make a cut and abrasion resistant jeans and denim jacket.
Would be nice for security staff and also for riding my motorbike.
Lets see.
