Denim of dreams
Fantastic jeans with brilliant high waist and straight leg cut. You would think this classic, unwashed, 1950s shape should be easier to find, but it isn’t. Finisterre has crated a staple which I hope they keep in production for years to come. In terms of size, and as opposed to other reviews, I think they actually are true to size. They are snug and stiff when you first put them on, but don’t be fooled: they soften a lot and stretch a fair bit the moment you wear them a few times. I haven’t wash them yet so I can’t comment on shrinkage, but I doubt it will be significant if following the recommendations for washing selvedge denim: inside out at 30 degrees, gentle cycle without too much spinning and no tumble drying. My only issue is that I’m a jeans size 29, so the 28 was too snug and the 30 is a little too generous. Finisterre: How about introducing sizes 27,29 and 31? :D
