Brum’s bull in denim

Friday 29th September 2006, 5:55PM BST.

Jeans for Genes raises money for research into the causes and treatments of genetic disorders which affect children.

The jeans for the bull are the work of Birmingham designer Maurice Whittingham, who is based at The Custard Factory in Digbeth.

He said: “The bull’s a tricky shape to make jeans for, so I’ve had to make a pair up in calico first to make sure they fit.

“He’s got a 200-inch waist. But he’s going to look fantastic.”
