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.

MF, I know you're just an enthusiast, but for some reason your posts about ande seem like a brand reps.
I hope everything turns out ok for him!

Ben, I know I come across a little evangelical at times but I like his products and also realise the effort he went through to rebuild his business from scratch after the earthquake. I'd hate to see a small, talented craftsman go under as I like to support these folk. I own and have owned jeans from a lot of the big Japanese brands too and I honestly prefer the 3 pairs of Ande's that I have. I'll shut up now!
Actually, maybe my sales patter isn't so bad, I may consider a career change…

What was your conclusion Giles!?

No worries just thought I'd mention it! That is an impressive feat. For some reason I'm not drawn to Andes products, but hopefully I'm in the minority.

SR12s are out - very Lee-pro, plus Andes having a sample sale with all items (mainly SR jeans) at $135, bargain!

@Ande:
Hi Denim Aficionado,
After a lot of soul searching and deliberation I have decided to shut down the Ande Whall Denim Co. label.
It is sad, but I feel it's time to move on. I had a great time learning all about clothing, pattern making and constructing the best jeans I possibly could….and talking to all you amazing denim heads from around the world.
I released my first "Street-Wear" label in 1995, so it's been a crazy 21 years in the rag trade! I will stay in the creative industry and work on some art projects and will be helping my friend set up his new vintage store. Fun times ahead.
I will close up for good on the 18th November 2016. I have enough denim left for about 30 pairs of jeans, so if you dig the jeans you can put through an order before then.
Thank you all so much for your support over the years!!! I am truly grateful.
Kindest Regards Ande.
