They look great Rudie.

Is that one of the LVC sweaters that were out a year or two ago? They were very cool.

[Rudie]

Yep.

They look a really good fit.  They will blow out with wear after a few days all over.  How are you enjoying the itchy sugar cane denim?  Anything to report on the build, pockets, loops, etc?

[Rudie]

I am used to unlined wool trousers, so I find them not overly itchy.

The built is top notch. Easily the best jeans I ever had. I never had raw denim and the only selvedge I had so far were a pair of Lee 101B and my 40s Freddies. The Freddies are still going strong after over three years (not a big feat considering that I usually wear jeans only about once or twice a fortnight) but I suspect the Brakemans will fade much nicer. I especially like the changing depth of color due to the hand dyeing.

[SJC]

I'm very glad you're happy.

The built is top notch. Easily the best jeans I ever had. 

That is a strong recommendation! 

Simon, you should be really pleased.

[SJC]

 I am, I was genuinely struck by Rudies praise, and thanks for being sensitive and pointing this out.

• Idea. Increase your cuffs Rudie and wear them at the ankle, pull the leg straight so we see the width in the leg

Simon wants a better photo than this, but this will have to do for now

Funny, they appear to have a much higher waist than mine.

Although I only washed mine once or twice yet they are already developing some nice fades.

That's what was thinking. The fly looks longer. Maybe it's the low angle shot.
