Custom Jeans??

[_money]

So i was reading Lupe Fiasco's myspace and he said he buys Levis and cuts the pockets out and have a Hermes scarf sewn in.....personally i think this idea is great and plan on doing it myself....im jus wandering would any of you do this??

[diorhomme_8]

i would prolly do it coz levi's are pretty cheap and i could buy lots

[ice grillz]

i think he sew the scarf on top of the existing pocket because otherwise the pocket would just rip.

[DUM]

Well, good quality levi's aren't that cheap. Cheap jeans...are cheap.

[Phlipstar]

Wouldn't the scarf start to dirty and rip easily?

[dblockdosmil]

^^no if he doesnt put open knives and dirt in his pockets

[scfdefinit]

Anyone got pics of how this turns out? I'm interested on doing this myself as well.

[_money]

I know of one pic where in his myspace profile he has him on a skateboard and if you look at his pockets he has a scarf sewn in....

come on $40 for an stf levi's is cheap for me..anyway for a guy like lupe could easily rip evisus or red monkeys without regrets coz he's rich

[DUM]

STF's though priced nicely (I own a pair) are just a step above Wal Marts $9 raw denim. It's going to look horrible after a couple washes/soaks/etc. You get what you pay for. I was saying Levis LVC is of better quality and while it's not Evisu-priced, it's not exactly cheap.

1. Lupe doesnt have to worry about money mosta the clothes he gets free and even when he does pay its not an issue.
2. He doesn't rock cheap levis he imports his shit or picks it up while overseas.

exactly. Is it me or Hermes Scarf cost more than levis?

[DUM]

^Depends on the Levis, if you wanna go spend $300 on a pair of Levis you can easily do that.

Dude has been behind the scenes for YEARS. Hes been touring allover the US at small venues charging heads $25 a pop. + Advance money + Destinys Child money + Grammy Money + Jay z and friends money + Reebok money.. + behind the scenes + $ from local appearences + F&F productions and management money + investments +writing/promoting/advertising/consulting/etc etce etc. Lupe is RICH and FRESH. PERIOD. Hes not like Jim Jones or these other clowns.

[moongirl]

i like the idea, occasionally i extend the length of pockets that are too short. the only thing that i couldn't imagine is spending $800+ for a hermes scarf that never gets to see the light of day...

[Phlipstar]

^^^ just looked at hermes sight... 300 bucks for a scarf got damn!

[spykeflipb01]

ill stick to funky fabrics or floral/ paisley patterns, imma give this sewing custom back pockets a try with some cheapo jeans then if i get good buy a few levis n get sewing
