I love mine, properly snug on first outing so if they do loosen then that's OK
Whereabouts is the banker pocket? I haven't found mine (if they weren't included then not bothered )

Boo,
This waiting malarkey is getting me down!
Another 5 days wait, I blooming well hope I measured em right when they do get here!
Yours shipped today. With you tomorrow.

It's a baffled pocket on the front side of the lining of the left pocket.
It's there!
Ha! Just noticed this post.
Great feedback from everybody......id love to be contributing....so my weekly question to Brant is did Founder 76 to Founder 19, shipped, not shipped finally ship?
😀
ps its VelocityBoys
Been wearing mine quite a bit since I got them.
Only advice I have is don't wear them on a boozy night out...those buttons, with individual baffles and French bearer do NOT make for quick loo breaks! Lovely keks though and I will buy another pair when funds allow.
Yay, my trousers look like they've arrived, shame I was out at work so can't pick them up till Saturday morning due to the local village sorting office only being open from 7:30 till 13:00 on weekdays ...
Trousers arrived yesterday and fit amazingly well. I'm wearing them in the office today.
I'd love a second pair when I can afford them.
4 weeks in and 2 trips across Europe in them. They are by far the best made and most comfortable set of keks that I have ever owned.
The website says that they are doing bottle green ones now. So that's my next pair sorted.
Really must sort sending mine back. Are there refunds for unworn ones?
Mine should be dispatched soon. If they live up to expectation I'll be keeping my eye on this. I see they are looking at cords and a different looser style. Not sure about the belt though, £101 is a bit punchy.

Belts are £125.
Or were. We sold 6 in a day.

Did you pledge to support us on Kickstarter and receive the trousers as a reward for that pledge?
I did...and I have no problem if there aren't any refunds. Who knows...they might be a collectors item in a few years and I might make a profit on them. 🙂
No worries, must have been because I was allegedly based in the US according to my work VPN and doing some weird exchange rate thingy. Anyhoo, got my trousers today and they are spiffing!

If you need a larger trouser it would be great to get you some GVNR's when we get them sorted.
Nah, don't need larger ones. Ah, forget it. I'll hang on to them and keep an eye out. They might be worth a few quid in a few years.
Well I picked them up from the sorting office this morning, number 82 has arrived a month after 81 did.
No nice packaging, letter, card in back pocket or even a tea bag.
Not that that really matters in the great scheme of things but leaves me distinctly underwhelmed compared to what others have posted.
I know it's a start up project and I've tried to be patient but I ain't exactly a satisfied customer.
Nice troos though.

I have simply no idea how that has happened as I packed yours exactly as I packed all the others.
So short of having a minor meltdown in the process, which isn't impossible, I'm somewhat confused.
A rescue package of postcards, beermats and teabags shall leave on Monday.
I don't know either, but I went early to the post office and brought them back and opened them up in front of Mrs P, and was like 'oh'.
Sort of made me feel like mine had been dumped in a bag and sent out cos I'd been a pain in the arse.

It's entirely possible I lost the plot.
Was there a wrap around them with repeating pattern and a sticker on it?
Nope, nothing at all.

Really odd.
Sorry.
I just got mine and they are awesome. The quality is next level! I bought my first pair because I know Ed, I'll but my next pairs because they are so incredibly nice. Even got my name on them 🙂
Yay, first ever brew of Yorkshire tea being drunk as I type. 😀
Thanks Brant, Ed,
Good luck with your brilliant new venture.
Charlie Higson tweeted today that his pair had just arrived!
Do they suit him?
Were they black?
[b]BLACK!!!![/b]
Do they suit him?
He said yes.
Charlie Higson will be wearing his HebTroCo pants on TV in 14 minutes!
Which is nice.
Just washed my 177's for the first time (30 deg.) and they've decided to go a bit anonymous. Anyone else had this happen? Not really bothered but HebTroCo are losing the advertising opportunity that is my arse.

My patch has re-bossed* too.
*made up word.
Who'd have thunk grown men would get so exited by trousers? Not me, but then my trousers don't have geometry. Good luck selling your fancy keks.
Ooh, grumpy person is grumpy.
For work for me they'd need lots more pockets, and I wear out trousers ridiculously quickly, but very tempting for smarter wear.
timmy - how did your patch stay that colour?
Mine looks like this now after one wash (40deg, fairy non-bio powder):

Ooh, grumpy person is grumpy.
Sorry, what i meant was... WOW! TROUSERS! WOW!
(I'm only grumpy because there's a trouser shaped hole in my life 😥 )
Faded patch people - we are now more deeply embossing the 177 patches. If you would like you're fixing then ship them back and we will amend. Lifetime guarantee and all that.

Dunno, 30 deg, persil non-bio, slowest spin, washed on their own. Quite like the colour of your patch though!

Nah, really not bothered but thanks for the offer.
Washed mine as per instructions - no size change - no patch change - am content.
Eagerly awaiting corduroy version.
Washed mine as per instructions
there were instructions? 😳
There's a corduroy version?! Where do I sign up?
I wasn't interested in Moleskin hence not getting involved in the first lot but corduroy is more like it.
Will there be a kickstarter for those?
G
there were instructions?
You didn't read the HipsterMax(TM) typewritten letter?
Will there be a kickstarter for those?
Maybe. Just working on trim detail this week. Photo shoot next week.
Hoping for launch next Friday. Either on our site or Kickstarter.
Pic here:-
any sign of the non-leather patch yet Brant?
no worries if not, i'm patient!

We are starting to sample some cork patches which we hope will work out.
Loving mine, perfect for work, rarely wear anything too smart, have suits for those occasions. Lovely material and very comfy. The too small pair in the post, and will definitely be ordering another in the near future.
Luvving mine, they are proper keks --- btw normally run a mile from corduroy stuff but that photos look fine
Just ordered mine. 🙂
Was about to get some Howies jeans, but thought I'd better support HebTroCo for the sake of £25.
Small world. Found this on the bar of my local in San Sebastián, Basque Country. Wouldn't mind a pair, after having had a feel of the proprietor's legs...

Not really, Ed's out there at the minute... ( or was) 😉
Funnily enough Bob, I just sent your films off to your Dad's in Hebtroco recycled packaging too. 😀
I used a pair of howies jeans to measure mine from, the waist sizing is consistent between the two - however my jeans are a looser fit than the troosers (to be expected tho, not sure what jean cut I have)
Cheers Pepper, they turned up yesterday.
Was going to wear mine for the first time today, but the waistline lays across my recent operation cut/wound/scar that I now need to get air to now the dressing is off.
Low hip jeans it is for the time being then
Without reading through all the posts, is there a place in hebden where I can try these on.
I really struggle getting a lot of trousers with the right waist over my calves then thighs and I'm not that big. So best to try first if I can.
Hello Kirky.
"Drink?" the bottle/taproom/bar on Market St has a set of try on trousers alongside it's excellent range of keg and cask beers, bottles and prosecco on tap.
Open 11-9 Tuesday to Saturday and 11-5 on Sunday.
Dynamite who are now located in the lower business park up Cragg Vale have a try on set too, and some limited amounts of stock.
Hovering over the buy button but worried about ordering 34s when I've been a 32 since Jesus was a lad. Can anyone who's done the same offer any words of reassurance?
Mine are the same size as my Levi's.
If you have Levi's that fit go with whatever is written on the patch. Brant, correct me if I'm talking shite.
I think a lot of it depends on how you wear your Levis. And what Levis they are.
Measuring things as per our chart is a good guide.
Typically 2in up on jeans size is not unusual.

I'm a 32" but needed a 34" in these.
Press buy on the 34's, I'm sure Brant will help you out if wrong.

Levis and hand-made hipster artisan trousers? Never had you down as a trouser connoisseur 🙂
Damn it.. I'm a 31 waist
What's your leg size tricky?
Typically 2in up on jeans size is not unusual.
I think that's right.
I went 38" on the Hebtroco - am usually 38" in Levi 514
Next pair I get will be 40" I think, just to handle the slight tautening on wash.
What's your leg size tricky?
32.
Best fitted trousers i own are 31 waist/32 leg
Ah, annoying. I'm in between sizes. 32'' can be a bit tight and 34'' is always baggy. I've never had a proper fitting pair of jeans because of that.
What would people suggest?
Depends what you want by proper fit. By the sound of things, go 34in.
[quote=cokie said]Ah, annoying. I'm in between sizes. 32'' can be a bit tight and 34'' is always baggy. I've never had a proper fitting pair of jeans because of that.
GAP certainly used to sell jeans with "odd" waist measurements i.e. 33"
Thought I'd stumbled onto a Cosmo page then, just eat some pies man. That'll soon sort you out.
New C60 Corduroy Model released today.
Corduroy?

Wasn't there a rather nice blue planned for the cords?
Wasn't there a rather nice blue planned for the cords?
No. There was an Instagram of my black ones that looked kind of pewtery because it was sunny.
I'll have some black ones with perpetual sunshine then please 🙂
I did wonder if a belt was on the cards. Too rich for me at that price though.
This a blatant bump, but it's because we're feeling all emotional as it's six months today since our Kickstarter launch, where we sold 176pairs of trousers in 5hrs 10mins.
Many thanks to everyone here who supported on us on that day, or since.
Trouser Town is back. Cheers

I wondered why I had just got spammed again 😉
But bravo for jumping of the trouser-shaped cliff and making a success of it.
Well done Brant and Ed. Would it be commercially sensitive to say how many pairs a week Trouser Town is banging out now?
The hot weather didn't do us huge favours last week but I'm happy saying that we have shipped (from the post office in town, carried there by hand!) over 1000 pairs since we launched.
£100,000 of pants! That is a lot of turn up turn over.
I'm getting some green 177s for my birthday off t'missus.
