First Impressions: I really like the fabric used on these. A very thick and heavy denim with tons of character. There is a very slight red cast to the fabric. Because of the loose cut you can wear these 21oz heavyweights all year round without it getting too hot. The cut is like a slightly looser Levis 501 1947. Great for those with large thighs or those who want a very vintage style cut. One of my favorite details on this pair is the beautiful patch, witch will feature a hand stamped serial number over the top. These are simple and well constructed jeans handmade in Okayama for a great price.
