Earnest Sewn Kyrre

[Konfucius]

Anyone put on a pair of these? Are they worth the money?

[jooky]

here's some pics from the other sf, but none of them actually on a person:

they look like they;re fading pretty decent, but i cant say anything about the fit or their worth, since i dont know how much they cost.

[Konfucius]

^nice.

they are like $200 and look really good on the sevenNY site

The heck with half-selvedge.

those are fucking ugly. those back pockets are way too big

[goingforthegusto]

Funny that this thread shows up. I just visited the Nordstrom Rack in Costa Mesa, CA and snapped this picture of a pair of Earnest Sewn's half-selvedge.

i think they look horrible. Post pics and maybe you will change my mind

i doubt taking pics of jeans will change your mind.

they look ok, a bit much for $200. like for people who don't wanna fuck around with APC's but too cheap for Nudies.

true, i meant the fit though. The fit may be what makes or breaks the jeans

The "may be" does not belong in that statement, it IS what makes or breaks jeans. Period.

I never really was a fan of Earnests, but those do look like theyve got potential.

Those pictures posted of the Kyrre's from the style forum are mine. Sorry I don't have any pics with them on yet. I don't own a digital camera my friend took those pictures. I personally love them. I feel they are just a bit different that what I normally see. I was going to buy APC New Standards but they weren't dark enough. I love the details that Earnest Sewn has that stands out among other jeans. I think the fit is similar to the New Standards except the bottom is just slightly more tapered and the thigh has slightly more room they are also a lot longer. I could honestly care less about the half selvage thing, what is important is that the demin was milled in Japan, plus they have little strips of selvage in unique places which I like. Is the $200 worth it? In my eye it is. I stand out a bit in these and they fit me like a glove. I was going to consider getting Nudies but I didn't like the way the denim felt, they don't have a fit that fits me good with a selvage edge, their non-selvage denim just feels light and cheap to me and I hate the stiching on the back pockets.

you arent gonna stand out. ES jeans are a dime a dozen. If you really wanted to stand out. You should have bought a pair of jeans thats not quite as popular as ES.

Relax dude. Not every pair of jeans you buy has to be the most amazing pair out there. Nor do they have to be the rarest. They look good on him. If he bought a more 'rare' pair of jeans, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll stand out more.

Whenever I notice someone wearing a fly pair of jeans, its usually the fit I notice first. And it's not like after I get a better look of the jeans and find out they're "ES" (in this case) I just start hating on them.

I'd just be like "Damn those Earnest look good!" Even if they are popular, it's not like everyone looks the same in them. Honestly, if he just those pictures up in the waywt thread, would you be able to tell them were Earnest Sewn? Assumming you didn't know about the big pockets (which you didn't). Probably not.

I'll second this sentiment for sure. Fit plays a big role, and I had a pair of early ES that fit me amazingly. I got more compliments wearing them than nearly any other pair of denim I own... I certainly see the appeal in rare/expensive/unique denim, but I'll also always have a couple pair of well cut, with no pocket details pairs of jeans for when I don't want to be wearing denim that looks unlike anything anyone else has on (45 rpm, ES, and Rogan are some of my favorites in this category).

[coalessence]

to the average consumer, i'd say earnest sewn is pretty rare.... i've had a pair of ES for close to 3 years and i have yet to see one person in st.louis wearing a pair...

granted, they are not as rare or hard to find as 5ep, samurai, or some skulls but i think his kyrres will do the trick as far as standing out

[patrickBOOTH]

Basically, kind of like derdankund said. They fit me like a glove. For me it is hard to find skinny jeans that my bulging thighs will squeeze into. Most straight legs end up looking like bootcuts just because my thighs fit too tight. I guess that is what 12 years of Martial Arts will get you... And yeah, I don't see a lot of Sewns around. Everytime I turn around I see A.P.C's and Nudies and God know's why Seven's but ultimately they are right for me.

[donkaiser]

I just got my kyrre's in XX in 33. I usually fit well in 32 or 33. But they seem to fit a little big compare to other jeans in raw. I guess it's because of the low rise thing ( yeah it's my first skinny pair of jeans i usually like straight).

Have anybody experienced with the stretching/shrinking on the kyrre's?

Thanks

[joey_formal]

the es kyree is a nice cut, but for the price you're better off going with an APC, lvc, julian red, john bull, etc. cone mills half selvage and only semi decent workmanship.

[fadingblue]

i dont remember his name but the guy who has the daughter with the sams has some es kyrres and they look damn good on him, more so that the pics posted above (which loook pretty terrible due to the sag+big pockets)

Yeah I won't buy it for $200. But Revolve Clothing has it for less than $100 after 30% off .

I heard that es shrink very little but stretch a lot. Their denim seem very hard to break into that's why lots of people are discouraged by es line.

But I really love their cut: contemporary with traditional details.

that would be sam from context clothing. when i went in to buy my nudies, i actually tried a pair on and really liked them. paisley pocket bags, detailed donut hole fly buttons, topstitching over the fly holes, etc.

its been about a year that this thread had any replies i have done some searching and this is the only thread i could find. i picked mine up for $50 at Nordstrom rack im lucky to get them at this price because they are a pretty nice pair of jeans.

x pic from fit thread,about a month of wear

[choice_genes]

nice fit on those

better option than the APC new cures I think. the ES selvedge denim tends to be quite nice (although a little thin...)

[theromantics]

Dude those suck. Earnest Sewns suck. They are the worst jeans on the planet.

Anyone selling a pair? I need them in 30=p

[theromantics]

Kyrre of course, just like in the pic.

And seriously these jeans suck, stick to nudie, april 77, julian reds, and your apc's.

[choice_genes]

[andimgone]

Yeah as far as quality and wear, I swear by Earnest Sewn and I actually don't really have too many jeans that aren't. The Kyrre cut is the only cut I don't have and I'm looking hard for them. Miami sucks.

Theromantics, why the hate?

[KM80]

I have a pair of the coated ones, I think size 29...

They have the most retarded fading because I wore them riding my bike all summer when I got them.

If you wanted to buy them I would probably charge you extra because of the bike seat fade, you normally have to put in work for that.
