So after several pairs of denim, sizing, wearing, fitting, stretching etc… I have found something I really like and fits outstanding out of the gate… The Stanton’s are (for me) the perfect mix of a heavier weight denim, that is still comfortable, well fitting for any occasion, and with just enough details to brag… Denim [...]
