First Pair of Dry Denim - Ande Whall (PICS)

[mr fluffernutter]

Today is a great day! My jeans from Ande Whall got here. They look nice... Really really dark. They're a bit snug around the waist for what I'm used to, and when I sit down they ride up a bit but I expect them to stretch out enough so they sit comfortably on my hips or wherever they're going to land.

Style: Grifter

Size: 28/33

White contrast stitching & leather tag.

Pictures:

(with some different shoes)

So far, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Looks great! I am not a fan of the second pair of shoes though...

I think I'm going to get rid of them, they don't really fit and I don't ever wear them.

Did you just get one pair of jeans? Or black and indigo?

Photos look like black and indigo.

It's really really dark indigo.

[Icarus]

Those look nice.

My Levis (Capital E) do the same thing with the dark blue/ black look in different lights, sometimes I really like it, sometimes it really bugs me. I think picking up a pair of darker shoes might ameliorate said problem.

Nice. I'd like a pair of AW's so as I'd have a bit of a story to tell when people said "nice jeans"!

[mike lowrey]

I'm definately thinking of getting a pair andes!

Eh, sorry. Didn't really think much of it honestly. I'll keep it in one thread next time.

more pics please

wow nice jeans esp in the light...

[andewhall]

Thanks for all the positive words people! I have been working hard over the last month getting a new set up ready to roll. New everything from 14.5oz denim, Leather, woven labels, back pocket branding (optional), AW print pocket bags available in 8 colours and some proper shots of all 5 cuts. It should hopefully be up in the next 2-3 weeks. I am just testing different leather, for the leather label at the moment. Thinking of going with "Russet" which is a natural leather, untreated, unstained etc.

Solid brass leather stamp

Didn't think I would like the stitching, I do though, what fit you looking at monkey?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

that stamp is awesome, andy. you should heat it up and brand your own person

make a great avatar

[cheapmuthafukr]

i dont know. its gonna be a year before i get them, so i dont know what im gonna want. maybe ill just send some specs to him and have them made custom.... if he does that. cmf hommeXande whall limited edition.

[andewhall]

^^Haha. The new set up will only have two custom options, choice of pocket bag colour and branded back pockets, yah or nay. The long term goal is to have the non-selvage version with the more in your face back pocket branding, then the selvage/button fly version with plain back pockets. The other option I was thinking about is to have a small indigo embroidery on the back pockets of the selvage, so you only see it when they are really worn out. I am probably a year or two off the selvage line though, I haven't even cut the patterns. And gosh darn it I want to get going on the tees and sweats, I never intended to be just a denim guy, it gets addictive.

[BrokenGlass]

nice...button fly selvage, let us know when those hit the shelves

[mr fluffernutter]

Ooh Ande that'd be really sweet. That brass stamp looks good.
