A few weeks ago Indi Denim asked if they could make me a pair custom jeans. Skeptically, I accepted, measured my chiseled physique and ordered a pair of jeans every man should own: dark, well-fitted, straight-cut, 5-pocketed, basic-stitched, zipper-fly jeans.
They came the other day.
I must admit, I was as even as skeptical when they arrived as I was when I ordered them. They sat on my Le Corbusier chaise for nearly a week. This morning, I tried them on. (It’s laundry day, I had no choice).
Though they could benefit from a good pounding in the washing machine, I’m mighty impressed by the fit and outcome.
Though they could benefit from a good pounding in the washing machine (I opted out of both the distressed and hand-sanded looks - a good pair of jeans should be broken-in naturally), I’m mighty impressed by the fit and outcome.
They have the perfect length. They’re a good, dark color. The fit is great on the waistband.
Today, Stile is wearing them with a pair of bowler shoes, a white T-shirt and black knit v-neck sweater. It’s a brilliant, basic, simple combo that works well if you have a good pair of jeans.
I found that pair of jeans with Indi Denim. And if I ever want to reorder them, they ever promise to remember my sizing for a quick re-order. That’s better than the last ex-Mrs. Coyote could do. Want the same fit in a different style denim? Easy as pie to change.
Sure it takes the beauty out of shopping at Diesel with a supermodel as a personal shopper, but it was easy. They came in less time than they said (3.5 weeks compared to 4) and I’ll be wearing these both out and to the club. The only item left to be tested? Longevity.
