The Colvin Jeans

Sew-Cool Separates

Though sweaters started my business, jeans have made it what it is today.
 
My very first Tyler jeans had white topstitching and no waistband.  But even in that first edition my love for detail came through, and both front and back pockets were fully functioning.
 
It turns out there was a demand for jeans for Tonner dolls, and when knitting began to bother my hands, jeans took over as my main seller.
 
Just for fun, here is a comparison of those first jeans with my most recent version, with key pocket, belt loops, belt & little rivets.

Here are a few of the intermediate versions of the jeans.

I could never keep up with the demand for Tyler jeans, even sewing batches of 20 or 30 at a time (at three and a half hours per pair. . .).  After almost a year of working with an Asian manufacturer to perfect the prototype I received my shipment of partially manufactured jeans from China in October of 2006.  The original blue colors for Tyler have since sold out, with only jackets and white jeans remaining.  But jeans are available for Riley as well as some amazing lined jeans for Matt.  And as of May 2011, I also have dark & sandwashed jeans for Tyler again.
