I’ve always wanted a pair of jeans that lace up the sides, and after lacing the waist together (super strange split waistband that looked terrible), I figured why not keep going? In the end, each leg was 60 eyelets, and then 32 for the waist.

Wow–customized jeans! Did you have a special tool that you used to set the grommets? I have something that was intended for grommets but have never been able to figure out how it works! It was hand held, so I imagine it takes some muscle to make all the ones you did! Great job!
Yes! It looks like a set of pliers! It’s super easy to use, not much more effort than a stapler. The only trick is knowing which side is ‘up’ and ‘down’ in relation to the grommet pieces. I did a test on some paper for that.
Yes, it reminds me so much of a pair my highschool friend had. I wasn’t allowed them, my mum thought they were tacky! That I remember them in 2026 shows how much I wanted them!
Really cool and thanks for the idea! I might borrow it.
Neat!! Totally my style if I wore jeans. It looks really good!
Omg in early 2000s I had some pretty scandalous-looking lace-up bell-bottoms but with brown suede lacing. I say scandalous because it showed a lot of skin and I was 13. That seems a little much to me now for being 13. But the other kids were wearing much more provacative clothing than I was; “Juicy” sweatpants with thongs hanging out at 12. Omg stuff was crazy. Lmao
Haha, I remember those days . When I was in highschool, we had a pretty strict dress code, so seeing people outside of class in “regular” clothing was wild!
