First Impressions: A nice slim tapered fit that still gives you room to move around. A lightweight denim with a nice hairy and neppy surface, that is well suited for warmer weather. Because of the hemp fibers poking through, the denim feels a little itchy, kind of like wool. Its not uncomfortable but it is noticeable. This will most likely soften with wear. This pair is loaded with details but they are not thrown in your face, they are mostly hidden when worn. One thing I have to mention is the jeans arrived with a few chalk marks from the manufacturing process. This isn’t a sign of bad quality and doesn’t really bother me, and could possibly be only on my pair, but it gives them a little bit of an unpolished presentation. Over all a well constructed, good quality pair of jeans and a great offering from the Philippines to the world of raw denim!
