Townsend or Townsand?? Link |
Taylor Stitch's now archived "Townsend Democratic Fit" Kurabo Mills Indigo Denim is a solid home run. Before I could get a post up, and I may be behind the times on this one, TS has since discontinued this particular jean. Fear not, they have plenty of other styles to choose from--for men. Being a lady, it is sometimes frustrating to buy quality selvage denim. I do like skinny jeans and a little "give" to the fabric, but sometimes I want a solid pair of no BS pants!
The Taylor Stitch Democratic Fit is perfect for me because it wears like a boyfriend jean. For guys, it is described as being a little looser than their regular sizing. The 13.5 ounce denim is heavy duty and hard wearing. I ride my motorcycle in these and they're durable and warm. Did you see the sick pocket details? It's a map of San Francisco on the inside!
Hopefully TS will work on women-specific denim in the future, but for now this pair will do. I'll try to post within the next year to highlight the fadings and such as it occurs.
So these aren't the selvage ones though? Still, they're pretty heavy and solid. I guess if you're riding you want a higher rise, is that a struggle with women's jeans?

They are pretty solid! The higher rise helps for more comfort and coverage on the bike
DeleteI just got a pair of Harry Stedman San Fran made denims, quality!
