Custom Denim / Made to Order

Bespoke or Originals

BOWERY BLUE MAKERS offers two ways of making your jeans: originals or bespoke. Originals are based on authentic vintage jeans and ordered by size. Bespoke allows you to custom order your jeans from a range of details inspired by early American denim patterns.

Originals

The originals are a modern interpretation of vintage denim jeans. From the way the edges are finished to the rivets and buttons set, the originals are made to fit and wear with your lifestyle. Each denim is measured to your choice of waist and length, and washed to fit.

Bespoke

For someone who adores vintage denim, Bowery Blue Makers offers the opportunity to customize the originals. You can choose from different finishes and materials, selecting the vintage qualities from the denim jeans you've come to adore.
