All jeans $200

Damn, just ordered mine last week! It's a good deal though-- hope some more people get in on it.

[LFC4ever]

Did I miss this? Site shows $250?

[Maynard Friedman]

It said $200 Christmas special offer yesterday. PM Ande for confirmation.

[LFC4ever]

Thanks - emailed him earlier so hopefully will confirm

Well shit. First second to top button broke after overzealous attempts to button left some damage, which is no biggie. But just then I put them on as normal, as I have been since I got them and then bent over a little and the top button popped. No previous damage. So I guess these are out of commission till replacements come.

[UkeNo]

^ These are the Size 32's when your a true 34" waist right

This was a possibility from the downsize I suppose.

I hope your can get them fixed.

Good luck.

[in_limbo]

yeah guess I overdid it unfortunately they fit exactly how I want apart from the waist. ah well, ande sent like 7 replacement buttons prepunched, wrapped up inside an offcut of denim! hopefully I can get them on straight and strong.

14.25oz LHT special roll now available

[Maynard Friedman]

Think I may have to get a pair of those...

I'll mail Ande on the specifics of this denim but in general what's the shrink/stretch factor like on Ande's jeans, particularly on waist, thigh and inseam? I don't have much experience with sanforized denim.

[okisan]

minimal on the shrink, half an inch in the waist & length perhaps. i always get an inch stretch in the waist with sanforized without trouble - so i always buy so it measures an inch less than where i want to be post stretch. so if i measure a 32, i buy something that measures a 31. that's my method at least and has never failed me. will be snug at first but sanforized always should be.

[reallypeacedoff]

They are nice! Really like the stitching colour way, adds a lot of depth. Pocket bags are great too!

[UkeNo]

Boom!

LHT looks like a winner.

Contrast Lemon Gold is sweet looking too.

Nice work Ande.

[okisan]

Kuroki Mills if i'm not mistaken.

[Maynard Friedman]

How do you all find the inseams on Ande's? I usually like an inseam of around 32, so do you think it's safe to get a 32 or should I go for a 34?

[xchen]

On my 32x32 they came more like 32x34 and I had to have them rehemmed. Not going to lie, I found it pretty annoying. Why offer graduated lengths if they aren't going to be the actual measurement?

[UkeNo]

Maynard - I'll measure my new-ish black Caribous when I get back and double check the inseam.

They've had 2 warm soaks now and some wear so should be a good indicator.

I'm fairly sure they were accurate.

[Al6ert]

I just posted these Cougars in the grail thread. They are from 2009 when Ande was using that unsanforized Cone denim. Thanks Ande for making such sick jawnz.

thinking about selling my cougars from the next run after those ones^^

they were the first ones that he made with japanese denim from okayama, i think. 14.5oz somewhat streaky denim with orange selvage line, chambray pocket bags, linen patch and silver rivets. they were always an inch too small in the waist but i toughed it out for a while before getting some proper fitting caribous, post-earthquake, and they've sat hanging in my closet ever since. 

[okisan]

@maynard - have bought 4 pairs over the years and they've all been as promised. the denim between the various special rolls and regular line will behave differently once they hit the water but it's never been enough for me to go up a size in length.

 

 

[UkeNo]

Maynard.

I asked Ande for a 33" Inseam on the Caribous and after a couple of soaks they are spot on.

Which model are you after?

[Maynard Friedman]

I've talked this through with Ande and have ordered a pair of the SR7 - left hand twill and natural indigo. What a combination!

EDIT: Buffalos of course!

Thanks for all your help and input chaps.

Just received my SR7 Buffalos and I'm absolutely astonished on 2 fronts.

First, I ordered them on Wednesday night (UK time). Ande made them to order, posted them and I received them on Monday afternoon!

Second and most important, they are beautiful. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is amazing and the measurements are spot on with those on the site. This natural indigo left hand twill is a beautiful denim, which I think will age subtly. Finally, the patch is an absolute monster, thickest piece of leather I think I've ever seen on jeans!

I've been coveting Ande's jeans on the Interweb for quite a few years now but this is the first time I've taken the plunge. If anyone is on the fence about this brand, get off and buy a pair, I would definitely get some more in other denims, especially the SRs.

Anyone, enough waffle from me, I hope to start wearing these in the autumn .

[UkeNo]

Good to hear Maynard,

Welcome To the club.

I find that I do flirt with others brands now & then however my first love is truly for Andes Walls.

Enjoy them.

[Maynard Friedman]

Cheers UkeNo,

It was actually some of your great pictures that helped convince me to buy them.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^^^ pics or it didn't happen

[Maynard Friedman]

SR7s are sold out already in just 2 weeks! Glad I didn't sleep on them. Some other Sufuers must have bought a pair too, show yourselves....

[llvlaglne]

anyone hear any news about the shirt he's been working on?

[UkeNo]

Where did you hear about these?

I'd be very interested to see a new AW shirt.
