DENIM REVIEWING:

Denim Design Lab Black, Seed Pima Selvage, cinch back, in Calico wash size 34

How does the denim fit in the waist, crotch, butt and thighs?

The Calico is a Vintage fit, Straight Leg, Black Seed Pima Selvage Denim and the fit is very comfortable. What I like about this denim is that the rise is a bit higher than other denim I have. I find myself pulling them up in order to fit them properly.  It’s nice to have a pair of denim that is not too low. The Crotch and butt area are very comfortable, a result of the fabric used in this denim. The denim is White oak cone denim and fabric is amazing. Here is some information about this special denim:

What makes authentic vintage denim so incredible and sought after, is not its uniformity and consistency.  In fact, it is just the opposite.  True vintage denim, woven on original shuttle looms, is chock full of character, inconsistencies and originality; slubs, streaks, and mountains and valleys of texture.  The vintage shuttle looms that produce all denim used by Denim Design Lab are old… beautifully old.  They are far from efficient.  They are slow.  But, that is what creates all of the magic.  Add vintage shuttle looms to the second story of one of the oldest denim mills in the world, and place the looms on an old wooden floor and you get magic.  The rhythmic pulse of these dinosaurs, slowly moving upon a wooden floor ensures every yard of selvage denim we use is full of uniqueness and character.  You have to start with the best ingredients if you hope to end up with the product

Where would you wear this denim?

Light colored denim is worn best during the daytime and that is when I would wear this denim. So where would I wear this denim to? You can find me wearing them at work, meetings, and press event. The ideal place to wear this denim would be on a Saturday afternoon shopping.

How would you style this denim?

Light colored denim is sometimes hard to style; you really have to know what you are doing to look good in light denim. BUT I LOVE LIGHT DENIM, so I’m aware of what coordinates best with this denim. I’m a simple kind of guy, so for me I would wear my DDL’s with a plain white, grey, or light colored v-neck t-shirt. Shoes: during the summer I would rock them with some Gucci flip-flop sandals.  The winter? Some Creative Rec Sneakers!

On a scale of 1-10, how hot did you feel walking down the street in your new denim?

10

How did your significant other react to your new look?

Single here but my friends loved them. They complimented the color and loved the selvage denim.

Who did your new jeans make you want to channel? David Beckham or Eric Bana?

Not sure. This denim gives me a very rugged feeling and both men are very rugged in their own way. So BOTH!

How does your old denim compare to your new stuff? Any salvation army visits to get rid of the old denim?

I love my DDL’S! A large part of why I do love them is because of the denim they use! I am a denim fanatic so no salvation army visits for me! I keep all my denim!
