Great catch! More detailed pics in product description page: http://andewhall.bigcartel.com/wolf-jacket

Amazing attention to detail. I love the tapered waist tab things.

SR6 just dropped......

Looks like it's the same as the older 2010/11 15.3oz denim
but with some added 'poncho cloth' detailing - very interesting!

not sure the cloth is my thing but it is kinda cool though - and optional. very tempting considering mine are well worn in now. i'd be well happy to get another pair in a heavier stock.

[xchen]

that poncho cloth would look cool as added detailing on the jackets, but looks weird on the jeans

[rungo]

Would be neat, although perhaps a bit conspicuous if he did like, a western yolk on the grizzly jkt or something.

Poncho clothes not to my personal liking 

[okisan]

my Cobra's at about 15mths of actual wear. 5-6 washes maybe.

Best AW fades I have seen

[okisan]

Cheers Danny - you may not recall but you saw these in person, back in April when i was in London and you guys had your pop up just off Tottenham Court Rd. I was also rocking the AW Grizzly at the time... an AW tux if you will.

I really like the way AWs age, but nervous about the sizing. Is it generally accurate to the size chart? I'd probably want a 33 in the Caribou, but the knees and hem seem really small compared to the thighs, and the fit pics on the site really dont look very tapered (I like the fit pics a lot). Thanks

Fantastic pair okisan!

Sure I remember. I loved the fit of the Grizzly.The penny only dropped a while after you left. I had that feeling we'd met some where but couldn't put my finger on it. The shop has grown since your visit. Hope Spain was enjoyable. Your little girl as grown a lot since then

Those look fantastic!

[okisan]

@jmfr - Ande's sizing is pretty accurate so work off what he's provided. keep in mind as it's sanforized it will stretch out an inch in the waist over time or more if you push it. knee's you could get half an inch perhaps. if you factor that in pre-purchase then you'll be sweet.

 

@danny - excellent memory sir! Spain was good, but definitely tricky with a 6mth old. We even almost got snowed in in the mountains above Granada which we definitely were not expecting - no snow tires/chains on those roads is not advisable...

The same happened to me living there driving from T shirt weather to higher elevations.

The Sierra Nevada covered in snow is a beautiful backdrop to the Alhambra in Granada. Fond memories.

love it!

That is really different, and I love it. Never thought I'd say that about corduroy.

Nice work Okisan and Tender! How is your Grizzly going Okisan? I think jackets take about twice as long as jeans to break in huh.

[okisan]

It's going great thanks Ande. The only issue is that it's been a pathetic winter here in Sydney so it hasn't had as much wear as i'd hoped during that time - has been mostly in the 20's so not exactly jacket weather. 

Agreed though, it will take some time to age. It is ever so slowly revealing it's lurking vibrant blue hues though...

 

Might get some pics up here of it soon though

[andewhall]

Yeah same here, we have gone from the hottest summer in 50 years into the mildest winter on record. Still cold enough to wear the Grizzly though.

[andewhall]

Hi guys. With the new SR6 I always had the option for plain or poncho cloth facings and originally I had the back pockets blank....I have had quite a few people asking for the option for the Wings stitching though, sooooo I changed it so you can just choose whatever for this lot! 

 

Cool, hope everyone is doing good. Loving seeing some good worn out pairs coming through.

Hey Ande,

 

It might be a bit early to be asking this but, when/if are you planning to release Special Roll #7?  I'm planning on getting myself a pair of AW raw denim, but may want to hold out for a while longer if you're going to be doing something really awesome/unique (not that your main line isn't amazing as it is).

Good article on Ande Whall in Denimhunters:

Thanks for sharing that article--it was a great read.

 

I'm glad Andy has plans for taking his brand further in the future, but at the same time sad. I truly admire how he is currently a one man brand.  It's an amazing feeling to be owning (I don't yet, but I am ordering one!) a quality product that has been handmade with immense attention to detail and craftsmanship.  Kind of sad to hear that he is going to larger-scale production, but expansion was/is inevitable when you're making a quality product that a growing number of people desire--so it is understandable.  I'm sure Andy will continue to produce quality products at sensible prices nonetheless--whether alone or through some larger scale production methods.

 

Ande Whall denim is still quite exclusive as it stands--being made to order rather than overstocked--and I also like that aspect of it.    I can (once I receive my pair of jeans) proudly tell my friends that my jeans were made by Ande Whall. 

 

Edit: Just placed my order!! I am so excited about the moment I come home from work to see an Ande Whall box waiting for me--the anticipation is killing me, haha!

nice to see that Ande is working on shirts. an AW shirt would make my tux complete®

[andewhall]

Yeah can't wait to get the shirts sorted out. I have been working on this western style one for a long time now...just trying to save up for some custom pearl snaps!

[Maynard Friedman]

Ande, I'm still patiently awaiting your left hand twill special roll. I'm sure that your supplier will come up with the goods one day...

[andewhall]

Haha, one day hopefully Maynard there will be some lefty. Black jeans next...just waiting on some thread to arrive so I can get the sample and pic's done.

[llvlaglne]

Does your western shirt have any hand pockets?
