Its great when someone finally finds the lost art of sewing. When I was little my mom took carful measurements of us kids and then made patterns. After the patterns are made she would pin the patterns right on the material and then cut them out better and after all are done, use the sewing machine to put them all together. She taught all of us kids to do the same thing.
Agreed. My family immediately thought of this as a desirable product as well. Could be an additional revenue stream for them, and a renewable one since people gain and lose weight. In my own case I fell ill with Guillane-Barré syndrome, from which I am almost completely recovered, but *nothing* fit after that.
SOOO love this. Unspun gets it. The multi-whammie of sustainability, good feeling pants, supply chain waste reduction ON TOP of making it cool to not have a cookie cutter body shape... all the yes. Oh, forgot the little factor of they look great and you look fantastic in them. YAY good pants!
Im fine with sizing, I just wish the sizes where consistant! Im fed up with ordering a size 20 and getting something thats a size 14. I also love numbers and data, gimme all the data on how my body is doing.
Sounds like a great concept. I hope the costs can be brought down. I worked for a textile company in the 1980s when they were still doing fabric production here in the US and something like this could have kept some of the business here. I worked on rebuilding one of the computers that controlled one of the large machines that created huge rolls of material like "polyester felt". They also did weaving but I never got to work in that area. Some of it felt like I was like stepping back into the 1920s. Great video.
Excellent topic and video! Thanks for doing this! Here's hoping they succeed well enough to bring that price point down, but I'll be sharing the site (and your channel) wherever I can.
I should have proof read better. Also, I also wanted to mention Ministry of Supply in Boston MA, which originally had the business model of using an ultra high tech robotic knitting machine for making made to order suits and shirts. When I last visited they were just selling off-the-rack suits and didn't even have the capability to do alterations themselves.
Here binge watching you from TOT’s secret Santa. nice !!!! You should have a word with Unspun about tek materials (Dacron Kevlar etc) for 3D weaving motor bicycle safety/ fashion clothes. No seams, or at least seams in places that add to comfort and safety. What do you think ?
My biggest fear in buying new jeans is that they won't be compatible with Fort Greene Park, thanks for being one of the few creators to address this directly and show it's possible
such an inspiring story! how many dimensions would it require to build a steroid pumped loom? what machines do the current industry employ? (state of the art)?
I personally have never gotten the appeal of denim. Flex jeans just allow for so much more freedom in jeans that I can't imagine going back. With flex jeans, they almost feel like sweatpants.
I love this, especially as a trans woman, I have a lot of trouble finding clothes that fit. But what is the privacy situation with sending a company a 3d scan of your body?
I'm also trans, and I've been buying my dresses from eShakti. On the manufacturing side, they have a similar business model, in that they custom-make each garment and deliver it in about a month. However, they use a much lower-tech solution for getting your measurements: you get out a tape measure and take about 10 different measurements, and type them in. This would presumably avoid any privacy issues.
One thing missing - the STRETCH Please add stretch strips / gaps on the long of the leg, and width of the stomach, Jeans were always famous for people hurting their body for beauty.
Well, yeah? They have to understand you, and they cant understand a costumer completly right? Like my sister sometimes gifts me things that I didnt tought I would like but she knows me better. Usually friends cant understand each other at this level, imagine strangers
She's referring to using the returns data to inform the more subjective part of the fit process such as tweaking different parameters for different fabrics. Not nearly as dystopian as the Spotify recommendation engine, in my opinion...
I love the concept of this product... right up to the recycling of worn denim into insulation for homes. The whole scheme fall apart there. Too many issues, and inferior products should never displace superior ones in homebuilding... especially not in homes for lower income families which is what happens when a industry group supports and donates to habitat for humanity on condition that they feature inferior insulation in habitat homes.
Beth acknowledges Blue Jeans Go Green as a band-aid solution, and desiring to get to true circularity. But that has nothing to do with the reduced waste on the creation end of the supply chain!
@@BeckyStern Yes she did. My point is that blue jeans go green is the type of band aid with terrible adhesive that falls off a wound after just five minutes requiring a person to apply 20 inferior band aids instead of one good one. Blue jeans to go is like so many other false feel good "solutions" that is really just green washing. I'd feel better if they company just didn't refer to the program at all. I say this as a former auditor of green programs. I can't wait to try on a perfect fitting jean though.

This is brilliant. Makes me wonder if they should look at selling patterns. Use the app, create your design, then send you the printed templates.
Yeah I was thinking of asking for my pattern as well...

Love this! A truly authentic & honest in depth look at this product, industry & yourself. Thank you 🦄
Excellent video--love Unspun's interview throughout. Becky, you rock :D

wow that obj mesh is remarkably clean for being at home photogrammetry!

This is so exciting and cool! I love tech/textiles crossovers
Your videos are really great. Please keep posting them :)
Becky, how do you not have more subscribers? This is so cool!
Tell your friends!
Really innovative and cool business. Thanks for sharing!
Really interesting concept and insight into this industry!
I should have proof read better.

Wow. Keep doing it
wow great !
how much for a pair of jean ?

you got shares in them smiles
There's a UA-camr "Pattern Scout" that you might dig. It's not nearly as tech-y, but she's great.
amazing!

😆 happy to oblige!

love those green tights 😇
Inspired by my alien suit in GTA
@@BeckyStern that's awesome 😉❤️❤️❤️

Denim is much more durable, but flex jeans are very comfy if the durability isn't a concern.
Crawl around on your hands and knees in those "flex" jeans and see how long it takes to wear knee holes into em.
@@BDBD16I should think a similar amount of time. They aren't super rhin
I love this, especially as a trans woman, I have a lot of trouble finding clothes that fit. But what is the privacy situation with sending a company a 3d scan of your body?
I showed you what I sent them and what they have of me-- a video of me spinning around in my workout clothes, and a 3D model derived from that video.
I'm also trans, and I've been buying my dresses from eShakti. On the manufacturing side, they have a similar business model, in that they custom-make each garment and deliver it in about a month. However, they use a much lower-tech solution for getting your measurements: you get out a tape measure and take about 10 different measurements, and type them in.

If jeans fit me, i'll wear them for years, until they fall apart & are only good for the compost pile.

"...an algorithm we developed" - shows smpl/star model reconstruction
you will get what our AI says you want, did I hear that correctly?
Well, yeah? They have to understand you, and they cant understand a costumer completly right? Like my sister sometimes gifts me things that I didnt tought I would like but she knows me better. Usually friends cant understand each other at this level, imagine strangers
@@iMiilk182 an AI deciding it knows best is a bit too dystopian for me.

@@BeckyStern ah, I understood it to be you get what the AI tells you you want...
Too bad you need an iPhone 😞
These need to be made for men lol
They do offer both masculine and feminine fit jeans.
