Ande Whall Denim

[TLCA]

no problem mackie, the top picture is probably the most accurate to the actual color but it fades blue and looks great except now I have these gross stains all over the cuffs and the pockets and I don't know what to use to get it off.

[heflys]

Nice to see that the site's back up- with a marginal price increase. I wonder what Ande's up to.

[goat]

i'm gonna use this to promote my sale:

bought jeans off Ande and just haven't had a chance to wear them at all

still bnwt

and i'm in need of cash

anybody want Sailors, sz. 32, for cheap?

hopefully things work out and i get to keep them, but alas, one must make sacrifices.

[TLCA]

Riding my bike home in the middle of the night last night my foot went into my front wheel and i went over the bars, got road rash on my face, and rippd my grifter they're in for repair now so I'll post some pics when they're done

Hey friends. i've been wanting to get a pair AW grifters XX-SI for a while now.... my only hesitation is the sizing.... heard some mixed opinions... some say size up one, some say get true size.... well... i'm a size 29 for APC NCs, size 29 for FH 3001, and size 30 for simon miller los angeles. As soon as i'm cleared on sizing ordering some. My guess is that i should get size 30 for AW??? i'm 1.82m in height, 67kgs.

well, as most will tell you, ande's site explains the measuring process clearly.

dont have a tape measure... and dont know where to get one... and i dont have any plans to become a taylor myself, so not planning to buy one

[Putoots]

With all due respect, if you are going to invest time and money into these jeans, you might as well get a tape measure...you can get a cheap one from any drugstore or hardware store...

Also, you can try this printable measuring tape.

[TLCA]

dawei I'd say get a 29, I have a pair of grifters and they're only somewhat tight on the thighs and knees but I'd say true to size. And if you want to find the right measurements look at the measurments for your APCs and compare to Andes. Hope it helps

[english]

uh, dawei, are you not familiar with string? wrap it around your waist and measure the length with a ruler...

then again, you're not a carpenter, so you may not have these items laying around either.

After visting a shop and trying to pick out my next paid of jawns I think it needs to be said that the AW Cougars are the best fitting jeans I've ever owned. I've beaten the hell out of them and I absolutely love them.

[combatorange]

crosspost from the evo thread, ande whall needs some love.

rakers, sz 30, 9 months, no washes, no soaks

[SoLid_frOg]

Definitely a nice Raker, combatorange.

[.jacob]

I've either lost weight or my jawns have stretched out like crazy (more likely the latter). I want to shrink 'em up with a wash. Should I do a warm or hot wash?

[kino]

depends how much you want to shrink it by

[.jacob]

I want a lot of shrinkage. They're sanfordized and have been washed once before, but I think cold. So for big shrink go hot? Will I lose all my indigoz?

[the Repeater]

I would not expect the result you want. Sanforization takes most of that out, you'll only get whatever has stretched back a little bit.

[.jacob]

I did a warm wash. They shrunk back to original shape, got rid of stretching. They'd stretched a ton.

15 months, 2 wash

Contrast stitching finally visible.

[beatle]

well done................a lot of vertical falling going on - really cool

[poly800rock]

those look great, i am the future proud owner of ande whall grifter xx denim.

[poly800rock]

black grifters are up on his site if anyone was interested, looks like he did all black stitching as well!

damn....these look so damn good

[mackie]

damn, I just noticed these up on the site as well. thumbs up for the tonal stitching, and the denim looks beautiful! my wallet ain't safe!

[kidkorea]

wow I wish I had money for a pair of these...

[andreweezer]

damnn look nice, wish i didn't already have a black pair

[kidkorea]

we need more fit pics of rakers and grifters!

[TLCA]

Those are soooo sick I have to get some pics of my black grifters I gave them a soak and combs and wiskers are starting to look good

[TLCA]

Okay so I have a couple questions so hopefully someone can answer them. I've got the 002 black grifters, does anyone know what type of denim he used for them? also I noticed on my patch it says true blue instead of pure black, did he not make the pure black patches until later models?

[beatle]

pulled the trigger on some Grifters - and man, I'm impressed ...awesome details - great denim - super quality...if ur still debating, get them...

Thanks so much, Ande

but be warned = these run tight..sized up one - and still debating if I should exchange for a bigger size

presoak fit, no problem buttoning them up - but really afraid what's gonna happen once they touch water...any thoughts ? Poly, where urs really tight to begin with ?

[chambo2008]

they look good beatle, post soak will be amazing!

[poly800rock]

hey beats. I haven't gotten my shrink to fits yet, but my old grifters were REALLY tight when I first got them. these were taken minutes after i ripped open the package last year

ande advised me to size up one as I said I wanted the EXACT fit when they stretched out as the safonized grifters.

they look great though, they do stretch.
