Hi Backers,
Hope all is well with you all
Since my last update here is whats been going on in short:
The Fabric order went through and is now underway (finally) - the Fabric manufacturers stated is typically takes roughly 30 days but due to the effects of COVID is not taking double that. I've requested some images from the factory so I can share with you and as soon as I get them I'll send out another update :)
As we wait on the fabric to be completed, we're finalizing the vendor compliance manual which is basically like a big detailed instruction manual for the suppliers to follow. It includes things like:
- The level of quality assurance we require
- The exact placement of our branding (hangtags, flasher, care labels etc)
- How the jeans will be folded, and to which size garment bag
- and soooo much more..
All the info I'm getting from the suppliers are pointing towards an end of July completion, which is not ideal but like I previously mentioned, the combination of COVID, delays with sample times, change in supplier and so much more was just out of our control but I'm working my ass off to ensure you get our jeans as soon as humanly possible.
As always if you have any questions or want to change your size/ shipping addresses please reach out to me personally at [email protected] and I'll update them for you

Hi Backers,
Quick update on how things are going at the moment!
All the trims (buttons, rivets, back patches, etc) for the jeans have now been signed off on and are going into production.
We’ve just received the final samples of the hangtags and flashers, which were just shared on our TikTok page @antursupplyco.
SUPPLIER
We had a short setback when the denim fabric suppliers we had worked with for 10 months fell through (a story that for another day) so it took us some time to find an alternative. After searching long and hard, we have now just found a supplier who meets our standards. We've even managed to upgrade our COOLMAX fiber to a COOLMAX EcoMade fiber, meaning our COOLMAX fabric will actually be made of recycled plastic bottles!
TIMELINE
As of right now, there is still a small window that would allow for the completion and delivery for March. In other words, we are crossing our fingers for a March delivery, but it will be tight!
These next few weeks will be crucial to finalize the samples from the new suppliers. The latest samples arrived last week and they look GREAT! We will continue to update you all again as soon as we receive any updates ourselves.
One thing we've learned in 2021 that we hope to take with us in 2022 is this: there is no point in worrying about things outside our control! Knowing this, we will continue to focus on our goal of designing and manufacturing premium, performance denim.
We're as excited as ever that you joined us for this journey and can't wait for you to be able to put on your Antur jeans!
Best,
Osian
