The "Mr. Cowboy" Jeans - Upcycled Key Carpenter Jeans with Green Cowboy Quilt Patches

Named after the dog, Mr. Cowboy, available for adoption through the Minnesota Animal Humane Society, these Key Carpenter Jeans are upcycled using four light and dark green cowboy print dresden plate quilt blocks (one on each leg and one beneath each back pocket).

These took about 5 hours to complete and due to using a new method to sew down the quilt patches, they are slightly discounted. I opened up the seams on each of the inner part of the leg and the stitching came out less straight than I'd wanted. You can see this reflected in the final photo. The stitching does not impact the wearability of the jeans and won't be very noticeable while wearing since it's on the inner seams.

Due to the reclaimed nature of the materials, stains and minor cosmetic flaws are to be expected. However, I do my best to reference all the flaws in the photos.

Sustainability Statement

Each piece is made as sustainably as possible with the intention to not add more fabric to the landfill and an attempt to be as close to zero-waste as possible. I source all of the clothing from thrift stores and all of the quilted pieces, quilts, and remnants are second-hand. I also try to source as much of my sewing thread and embroidery thread second-hand as much as possible, while reusing packaging materials as well.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Due to the vintage and delicate nature of the upcycled materials and quilt patches, these pieces are hand-wash and line or rack dry only. I also recommend spot cleaning when possible to extend the life of your garment or accessory

TWO HOWLING LABS GUARANTEE:

If the embroidery thread* comes undone, each piece comes with a lifetime guarantee and I will repair the stitching free of cost. For handmade items, I will repair any rips or tears that occur due to improper stitching or manufacturing.

*Please note: the guarantee only applies to the added work on the garment, not the thrifted item itself. I also cannot repair items that haven't been up-kept with the above care instructions. If you have a larger repair (ie: a hole develops somewhere on the thrifted clothing item), I can repair these for a small fee and the cost of shipping.
