Sad news. The selvedge denim market has grown rapidly with great jeans offered at a wide range of price points. I imagine it's really tough to offer jeans at a competitive price and make a living as a one man brand.

Always loved what Ande has made. He seems like a really top bloke too. Ande Whall Denim Co will be missed.

Sweet shirts. I just ordered one of the indigo chambray shirts a few days ago.

^agree. The natural indigo denim plus indigo stitching. These will go fast I imagine.

Wow. I grabbed the sample pair of SR10 recently when Ande sold them off. Yours look so much lighter than they do new. Look great.

^ are these AWs? Which greys are they?

^ Wow. Beautiful.

tion4-> cool to see another Brisbane resident rocking A Whalls. I've got a couple of pairs. I'll keep my eye out for yours.

Hard to even find selvedge jeans in Brisbane. Pretty much Edwin or Nudies. Apartment used to stock Imperials but apparently they didn't sell so they dropped them.

AW SR10 sample sale pair arrived. Great jeans as expected. Amazing how much roping Ande gets at the cuffs, and not a chain stitch in sight.

A pair of the Lee 101z 23oz with 30" waist. Lost some weight and my 32" are too big.

Sweet. Thanks Maynard. I have a few indigo dyed tshirts too so the contrast is a plus I hadn't considered. Living in Brisbane, Australia, some 13oz denim sounds like a better weight than the heavier stuff I wear for about 2 months of the year.

Grabbed the SR10 grey denim mustangs. Was on the fence about these when they were out but at half price and in my size they'll add a nice option in my rotation. Also never tried the mustang cut so good way to see how it suits.

Addit: can anyone with a pair of SR10s tell me, do they fade much?

Just to throw in my support. I bought Ande's 21oz jeans when he had them going. Awesome denim and awesome jeans. Got Cobras and Ande's pattern is fantastic. If I thought I could slip another new pair of jeans past the boss (wife) I'd be ordering some new AWs for sure.

Those 21oz jackets would be great too. The denim is a soft but feels heavy. Very unique denim.

^look great Satts.

Hey Ande, love your artworks on your site. You should get some of these pics on your leather patches.

Ande. Are those jeans your regular 13.5oz denim? Look great.

Pre-soaked my new ST-121x's yesterday and wearing them today. Been said before but man this 121x denim is stiff and abrasive. Like sandpaper. Totally different to the 120x which I always found too soft. The inner black surface of the 120x almost feels like it's been brushed to give it a soft hand. The 121x feels like the backs of my knees are going to bleed. I like it though.

Don't be too quick to get rid of them. I lost a chunk of weight last year and all of my jeans were too big. Bought some new jeans and since then I've put half the weight I lost back on. Back into some of my old jeans again. Keep a range of sizes if you find your waist changes a fair bit with weight fluctuations.

Received my first Ande Whall jeans about 2 weeks ago, a pair of 21oz cobras. Thought I'd share my thoughts for those wondering about the heavyweight denim.

The denim really has an obvious weave. It looks obvious on Andy's site and it is just as obvious in person. The white weft showing through gives the jeans quite a grey-blue look. The denim is quite hairy, I suspect it is sanfordised but not singed.

The heavyweight cobras were a little tight in the waist and very tight in the thighs at first. I was worried I needed the mustangs instead but they have stretched well and now are a perfect fit with a little room to move in the thighs.

One thing I have noticed is so far the denim has not faded at all it seems. Usually there is some fading by now on sharp edges that cop a lot of abrasion but so far none in these. Should be a nice long fade.

All in all I'm extremely happy with these. Andy's craftsmanship is amazing and the fabric is interesting. Looking forward to seeing how they develop over time.
