Ande Whall Denim

[robotbox]

I've had the 14.5 oz Slackers since January and I absolutely love them. A big step up from my Grifter #001's (although I really liked the heavier pocket bags on the old grifters).

I've probably only worn them 50% the time, but they are getting some nice fades. Well, as nice as they can be when I have to sit behind a desk and code all day.

As for fitting, i had 36's in the grifters, and they have definitely stretched a good bit. I can't wear them without a belt. I sized down to 35's for the slackers and now that they've stretched out a bit, they fit like a glove. perfect in the waist and a bit slimmer in the leg.

I'll post some pics sooner or later. I still wear those grifters a good bit as well.

Just ordered a pair of 13.5 oz cougars and will post fit pictures when they come so we can have some photo documentation of the 13.5 oz denim. Those of you in the US, how long did it take you to get your AWs?

[kit99bar]

[aleopold]

5 business days from when you ordered???

i ordered some 15.5oz grifters a couple days ago! can't wait

[Rob060]

lol, that's just the shipping time probably. give him 2 weeks or so to make them first.

[yliafp]

just got the email that the jeans are in the mail

he finished making them in 2 days!

[MortimerHobbs]

Finally arrived. So worth the wait. So stiff.

i just got grifter 15,5 oz size 30/34, actually my true waist is 31, and feel a lil bit tight...

but ande wold me the jeans will stretch 1-1,5inch

what do you thing guyz?

[beatle]

your jeans will stretch....

[kit99bar]

my 32 15.5 oz cougars now measure 33. I try to wear my jeans lower so I don't think the 15.5oz denim can stretch much more than 1 inch. just my 2 cents

[aleopold]

yeah, the denim doesn't stretch a whole ton, but you might be okay if you only size down one inch.

[dkatz]

today in the mail: a great piece of denim:

We need more fit pictures of this jacket.

[yliafp]

does anyone know how long the jeans stay in US customs?

[beatle]

Anything from 2 hours to 10 days...lol

[trailer36]

mine werent there long. maybe a day.

on a separate note, my new 13.5 oz cougars fit great from the knee down but are a little snug in the top block. Those of you with the 13.5 oz models, did they stretch a good amount not just around the waist but in the seat/upper thigh area? The actual measurements are a tad slimmer than on the site so I am hoping they will stretch a little to give my thighs some breathing room.

[dawei69]

documentation as promised please! thanks!

[scientifick]

god these look good. definitely considering getting some some day

[trailer36]

documentation as promised please! thanks!

As you command kind sir:

And some fit pictures. These are a size 32 in the Cougar cut. First impression is that the denim is much stiffer and more substantial than I expected with 13.5 oz denim. In fact, hey feel almost as heavy as my 15 oz Samurai. Texture is very smooth so all around exactly what I wanted in these. Like I said before, the top block is very snug and I am hoping they will stretch enough to give my thighs some room. Let me know what you guys think.

Sorry for the shit lighting, it is the only really good space to shoot these photos.

[aleopold]

that fit is spot on

[dawei69]

thank you trailer!

looks to me ande has been changing the colour of threads lately.... seems to me your pair is all orange threads.

My pair has a mixture of lemon and orange threads

[yliafp]

Got my grifters today!

they're really tight, but i can button them up after considerable effort..should i count on them stretching out?

and by tight I mean it's hard to even bend my knees

[Gold Soaked Afternoon]

^yes, they will stretch, but usually inability to bend your knees means too tight. Post some fit pics and such though, please?

[yliafp]

i adjusted these like crazy cause the lighting makes it really hard to see..hopefully it helps

[Hajduk]

yliafp,

size up or think about the Slacker model.

the slacker can fit u better may be...

just my opinion...

[aleopold]

the lighting is making it sorta hard to tell, but the fit doesn't look awful..

[thewickett]

^^^agree with that

[llvlaglne]

i know this is going to sound silly but if you switch to banana hammocks it'll fix yliafp has with his underpants... i'm betting he had a difficult time buttoning cause his underpants kept riding up. fit is good yliafp.... switch the undies so you dont get a muffin top

[kit99bar]

it should be ok after they stretch an inch (takes a day or 3).
