Imogene + Willie

[jonmhenderson]

you look silly in your tiny pants.

whats the obsession with getting super form fitting jeans?

They are not as tight as you think they are; they just fit. I can easily fit my hand in between my waist and the jeans. I think we get used to seeing jeans that are more of the antifit variety, then that makes jeans that fit look too tight.

Here's some nice vertical falling, tracks and some side combs coming through on the Bartons at 5 weeks.

Don't know if this thread is still that active but if you guys live around Nashville, you should hit up their weekly gig on Thursdays with good live music, Mas Tacos food truck, and natural soda stand.

I went there last night and had my pic taken in the Willies and the Bartons.

Very cool shindig!

Props to you. It was way too hot to sport any denim that day for me and how crowded that place was didn't help either. Maybe next week. I'll try posting up a few evo pics at my 3 month mark.

So we'll see you here soon?

[jonmhenderson]

Not sure when, but Matt was very impressed with the evo!

Here are mine after 2 and half months.

Bonus: Got my new OGL, so it's time to break in those back pockets.

[jonmhenderson]

Looking good! My Bartons have faded much faster than the old Japanese denim Willies did. I'm at 3 months on the Bartons and they are very faded.

Willie - 4 Months

[jonmhenderson]

Lap fades look good, but not much in the way of combs. Have you soaked/washed them yet? I finally washed the Bartons. They reeked.

Jon

[smittybat]

These were hand washed a couple of times.

[jonmhenderson]

Like I said, my Bartons were reeking, as I have been doing a lot of work outside in them. So, I did a first cold hand wash in the tub the other night just a few days short of three months. I used Woolite.

Has anyone bought or seen the 'Jack" Indigo Canvas Coat from I+M?

Im really interested to get some details about size and fit. I'd like to the know some actual measurements for each size.

I contacted them weeks and weeks ago and have been back and forth with them 'trying' to send me scans of the sizing but am still waiting and my e-mails seem to be going unanswered. Such a shame - i think the coat looks Good!

Thanks

imogene + willie,

William Hunting Vest

That don't stock anything, they make it when you order. Love that.

If anyone is looking to pick up a pair, UrbanDaddy is giving its members a pretty decent discount. Willie Rigids for $175 (30% off). Signing up to be a member is free too.

They are also discounting the Black Denim and Willie Natural.

[grooveholmes]

That's cool. And a decent price. I've handled their limited edition / jcrew plus wash jeans ($300+) and tees and wasn't overly impressed. I like the company a lot, but think their genius for marketing overshadows the actual quality of the product. Not to say it's bad quality, quite the contrary, but for the price, I think there are better deals to be had. Nothing new in the denim niche, I suppose.

[kit99bar]

Gotta agree, you look pretty muscular up top too so it looks un-proportional.

you look silly in your tiny pants.

Their jeans would be a good deal or around $150. I like my Willie's and they do repairs on them for free (they do an excellent job), but for $250 there's a lot better options out there. I do think it is awesome that they're making jeans here in the US and might get another pair if they were on sale in the future.

I do think they should focus less on hype and more on the jeans themselves.

A picture HEAVY update on my Bartons.

Wore these lightly for a little over a year. Probably 5 or 6 months worth of wear.

10+ washes

I am actually a bit disappointed with how these faded and I know its because I did not wear them enough and washed too often BUT these are my first selvedge jeans and my next pair will hopefully turn out better. Still love this pair though!

BEFORE & AFTERS

Hate to say it but I think I'm falling of the wagon

I+W is just way overpricing their products. The jeans honestly, honestly, feel like 150 dollar jeans. I wish they would have added more details/quality to the jeans. At least throw on a leather patch guys! But that being said, I enjoyed wearing the bartons and will always cherish them for being my gateway drug to the world of denim.

resurrecting this thread because it seems as good a place as any- Matt Hranek (of the awesome william brown project) has a new show out, The Alternate Route. The first episode is in Nashville, and has a section on Imogene & Willie. I'm watching it now, so not a full review, but very good so far! I've met Matt a few times, and he's a really good guy. For people in the US (or with a VPN  ) it's at http://www.hulu.com/watch/558301#i0,p0,d0

Such a bummer that this thread hasn't gotten more play.  I have been an Imogene fan for years and have many great pairs.  I love how they wear, the feel, the fades.  One pair of mine has been used by I+W for their 5th year anniversary on display.  Carrie, the owner, comes from a long line of denim heritage and knows her stuff.  I will post some pics soon!
