First Impressions: This pair is as equally at home at the work site or just cruising around with friends on the weekend. The slim straight fit is very comfortable yet still flattering. With redwings and a type two jacket it looks very western-workwear. With chucks and a black tee, it starts to look a bit rock and roll. I really like the deep yoke, which allows ample room in the top block for activities such as picking something up off the ground or sitting down, in some jeans these can be uncomfortable tasks. I absolutely love the details on this pair. From the pocket stitching, to the canvas lined waistband. The substantial feeling pocket bags and some of the coolest rivet details I’ve seen, doesn’t hurt either. Not to mention the eye catching leather patch. I would highly recommend this pair for someone who wants to fade some nice USA made cone denim jeans, but want to distinguish themselves from the Levis crowd.
