Ande Whall
-
Just received my SR7 Buffalos and I'm absolutely astonished on 2 fronts.
First, I ordered them on Wednesday night (UK time). Ande made them to order, posted them and I received them on Monday afternoon!
Second and most important, they are beautiful. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is amazing and the measurements are spot on with those on the site. This natural indigo left hand twill is a beautiful denim, which I think will age subtly. Finally, the patch is an absolute monster, thickest piece of leather I think I've ever seen on jeans!
I've been coveting Ande's jeans on the Interweb for quite a few years now but this is the first time I've taken the plunge. If anyone is on the fence about this brand, get off and buy a pair, I would definitely get some more in other denims, especially the SRs.Anyway, enough waffle from me, I hope to start wearing these in the autumn.

SR8 is out!
13oz summer jean with dirty weft, blue arcs and lined back and coin pockets. I don't need them but I definitely want them! -
Those are sweet! Although I could do without peekaboo.

I've always liked Ande's wing arcs and his patch design. Banana lined pockets and pocket bags are cool, too.

saw these this morning…
I've liked Ande Whall from a distance, but the wings always seemed to loud for me personally. I'm definitely intrigued with the blue arcs...

I know it looks like a banana Chris but it's actually paisley!
-
Argh! Damn Swype and its autocorrect!
Banana lining would be messy, wouldn't it?

Until I saw this post at the weekend I'd never heard of this guy, but after checking out his website and learning that he makes all the jeans by hand, I have to say I was pretty impressed! This will be my lightest pair of jeans, but I'm keen to try something different after an exclusive IH diet these last few years, and the craftsmanship and attention to detail on these should bear favourable comparison.But still, paisley print and bandana linings in the pockets pretty much sold me on these

Do it and then give us your post-purchase analysis!

Anyone from the US that has bought from Ande… Did you get hit for import duties?
-
Ordered twice and never hit with fees.

Last question would be….
Since putting on a bit of weight the best fitting pair I have is my size 32 s710xx. Seems like according to size charts these sit in between the caribou and mustang so I thought about sizing down 2 on the caribou as this would put me right at the measure mats of my s710xx for the most part with the exception of the waist which I would think would stretch but again am entertaining others opinions -
I have the SR7s in Buffalo cut, size 31, which probably measured around 33" raw and shrunk to 32" after an initial 40C machine wash. My natural waist is about 33" and the jeans are currently at 33.5" after a month of wear but could stretch more if required. I usually wear a size 32 in jeans and at a push could have sized down to a 30 in these. Hope that helps.

This is my brothers pair right before a much needed wash. Worn for around 14 months probably

Fellow denim fans, looks like Ande is on the brink of going out of business right now, things have been going a bit slow for him. Don't let this potential tragedy happen. He's having a sale on all black jeans right now - just $200! Please have a look at his site and if you're thinking about buying jeans or a denim jacket at the moment, then consider Ande's great products.
