Akins Selvedge Jean

Over Lockdown I’ve been trying out different online companies and being mindful of where materials come from and how well made and classically designed the clothing is. I think I may have found my go-to clothing company based in the UK.

Great colour and shape. They feel strong and that they will last and become a long-standing part of my life. I like that they are ethically made too.

Second pair of these jeans. They are honest, sturdy and so well made. They soften out and fade to a beautiful blue.

I found them true to size: they do shrink lengthwise but seem to be sized to allow for this.

Then only thing I don't like is the non-leather back patch label, which does not wear so well.

I really like these. They are very flattering and quality of fabric and detailing is very good. I usually wear size 8/10 and and I am 160cm tall /58kg. I went with a size 28 short. They fit well, quite snug in my waist but it’s the chocolate not the jeans to blame. I expect them to stretch a little after few washes. I haven’t washed them yet as I subscribe to the theory you are not meant to wash your jeans often.

I have had these jeans for several months now. They do shrink a little so size up if you need to.

They get better with wear. The fit is high waisted which suits my narrow waist and big bottom.

Definitely would repurchase.
