We've been busy at the start of 2020 (to be fair, we're never quiet as a small but bustling London factory). Working on a few collaborations, we're now seeing the collections launch. This one is a small run of Turkish raw selvedge denim jeans made in our factory and in partnership with @pinkshirtmaker Thomas Pink. As always, they're signed off by our makers with the style, size and fabric producer.⁠
...⁠
Available online in the UK and USA as well as at Thomas Pink's Jermyn Street and Madison Avenue shops.⁠

On the weekend of 24th-26th April we'll be joined by master tailor Paul Kruize who will be teaching you (and us) his magnificent one-machine approach to making jeans. All too often with making it can feel a chore due to how many machines are involved, and especially with jeans. The aim of this Masterclass is to show you how to make a pair of jeans from scratch but using only one machine, utilising the selvedge and avoiding overlocking. You'll also learn how to hand-bind button holes. Paul's approach is Bauhaus-esque with form following function; only necessary details are applicable, and the make is pristine. Check out more of his makes @paulkruize⁠

April 24th-26th; intensive two and a bit day course. £350, maximum 4 students. You must have sewing machine experience to attend, but you can join our bag or apron course in February/March in order to gain confidence using an industrial sewing machine. Head to the "workshops" tab on our homepage.⁠

A heritage style that works casual or dressed up. Made in our 15.5oz saturated indigo Turkish raw selvedge from @iskodenim this SE1 Worker is a hardy but malleable jean, with traditional details like spade pockets and a cinched back.⁠
...⁠
Also available in a beautiful linen-cotton with a soft blue almost hairy selvedge denim woven in the UK from @hewitt.heritage.fabrics. We can add brace buttons to each of these so that you can wear them with our London-made heritage braces.⁠

Find them all on our website or in-store at @coaldropsyard.⁠

In celebration of Agenda Brown becoming a part of our Ateliers with housing his work and ideas within our factory, this is a chance for Agenda’s signature style to reach out to you, and utilise the beautiful industrial Coal Drop’s architecture. A very unique experience, likely capturing something in you that you didn’t know you had.
...
Drop in is totally fine, or otherwise check out the @storiesbyagenda site for full information. He is here until 23rd Feb within our opening times. £80 per portrait rather than the usual £350 and an intimate quirky setting.

The SW1 wide leg trouser is a unisex beaut. The higher waist and relaxed fit suits guys wanting a more heritage edge, and women in general because of natural curves. Available in sage green and a vibrant blue (with a soft ecru warp), both produced by Italian mill @berto_industria_tessile, these are an unusual pair of jeans - especially good if you’re not a fan of rigid dark indigo types.
...
Get them in-store @coaldropsyard and online.
