Wow!!! I wonder what the "slim cut tapered jeans" are like. No pictures yet. NYers, go to Steven Alan and give us the scoop!

[ddohnggo]

yeah, i noticed that too and i'm interested in seeing them. probably a no brainer, but the jeans are selvedge?

[PG2G]

They make both, but at that price... they better be the selvedge ones

Pics are up. Although they don't load up when you click on them. I really, really hate the shitty pictures on Steven Alan.

Looks like they were adding the inventory when everyone was looking yesterday. The full pics are up now and are zoomable. Looks like these are distressed in some areas, near the pocket and over the pocket area.

Agreed, the dbl belt loop is sharp. Overall, they look great. Oh, shit, oh, shit, I-Don't-Need-Them.

I'd much rather see some Chimala shirts.

Tried them on at Odin...I dunno...I just can't get into them for some reason. Fit isn't great and the texture just feels funny to me, not what I'm used to.

they have the brand at active endeavors too now. But nothing raw. I hate those "raw but damaged" washes. such bullshit

I was pretty pissed because I bought a pair of jeans from them that still had the security tag attached, then sold them to Poly800rock without ever knowing, caused him trouble.

That, and they've made thousands upon thousands off of links from Styleforum and never paid us the fee for getting a link up.

Yup, the funniest thing was that after trying for a long time, I finally got the CEO - Drew Davis - on the phone. He actually said to me "I'm not the warm and cuddly type, but I can cut you checks" and promised to send back payment (at that time for 3 months) that night. But apparently, he is not one to keep promises either. I emailed him with details of the agreement we made on the phone, and never heard back from him. He never returned a phone call or email after that. And he sure didn't cut any checks.

If there are any designers or reps thinking of doing business with Active Endeavors, I'd think twice about it. It's not worth the hassle having to look over your back all the time. Guys like this will fuck you over the moment they think they can.

Oh, back on topic. Chimala - they sort of remind me of Gilded Age in that the products are definitely well thought out and well constructed, with interesting treatments, but at pricepoints that seem a tad high...

especially for their shirts. Close to $300 for a wool shirt. Very nice details but, not sure if it's worth it. that being said, I really like the quality of these last time i saw them, and now that they have a dry slim cut, I'd probably give them a try if i didn't have so many already. One thing i didn't like was the zipper though.

here is a store in japan with a good range on chimala products over all. they accept paypal and ship internationally, if you are willing to pay the japanese prices.
