Camo Jeans

Oscar over his travels acquires random fabrics, be it an odd length from fabric shops, special sample developments from cloth mills, dead stock from vintage shops, hand printed ethnic fabric from bazaars or just bizarre fabrics, they all share two things in common: they caught his eye, and there is something unique about them.

An example would be a classic design, executed in an unusual colour combination, or woven in a different weight. The heritage camouflage jeans below are both. An unusual blue colour combination which we are not quite sure fits in anywhere except an Yves Klein exhibit and woven in a shirt weight.
Instead of being cut in to a shirt, Oscar used them to make a pair of summer jeans. They are eye catching to say the least, the blue tones go great with a summer collection, are very light and comfortable and were actually the start of a journey for Oscar. Over the next few months you will see where this journey has taken him.
Here are some clients' jeans that were made subsequent to the first piece:



















If you love them, hate them, or are just not sure about them, you can't say you didn't see them. You can also say you gotta have guts, ONLY FOR THE BRAVE!
