First impressions: Brave Star Selvage has officially won me over with this pair. This is the same White Oak Cone Mills denim that Tellason uses in their 16.5oz offerings. The heaviest Cone Mills denim I’ve encountered. This fabric will most likely last for at least 2-3 years. The Slim Straight and Slim Tapered Fit are pretty much perfect for me. These jeans are true Americana through and through. The tight weave of this sanforized denim makes for little to no shrinkage even in a hot soak. It does stretch out a bit so I would buy it snug but not too tight.
The perfect jeans for walking off into the sunset! Pick up a pair for $89 at Brave Star Selvedge.
