Great image. I love the little cross logo stitched on the seam of the leg. The videos are wicked. They're great at selling an atmosphere, but WHAT ABOUT THE JEANS THEMSELVES??? Are they half as baaaaad as IH?

LOL..nothing is as tough as IH..but I still appreciate the craftsmanship of the I+W team

I've been wearing a pair of Willie's for the last month.  They're made in the USA of sanforized Cone denim.  It's nice to be able to buy directly from them.  Ian at the shop is very good at answering questions via email.

I liked how they packaged them, a nice touch.

They've got a bunch of pictures of the jeans at various stages of fading here - http://lovefadesiw.tumblr.com/

Personally I really like supporting a local, small time company like I&W.  I hope to make the drive up to see their shop sometime soon.

I always forget about this sub-forum…

They just released a ton of new stuff last week. And they've definitely made the site much more in depth (including clips about the inspiration for each piece). The new chambray is something I've got my eye on.

I visited the Imogene + Willie store 2 weeks ago in Nashville and the storefront has a great vibe to it. I had just bought some new denim the week before from Roy, so I was on a shirting expedition and ended up with 3 from them. I ended up with an Anderson sweatshirt, a Carter work shirt, and a "3 dot" Leo western. I can't say that any of the items have IH like weight or construction, all three items have nice details and a really beautiful selvedge placket. I wore the Leo today and I noticed that in the sun there really is a lot of tiny variances in the indigo which gives it a lot of depth. Worn with my Flatheadx RJBx SE.

Thanks Seul. I wear a medium in most IH shirts and a medium I+W fit me about the same in the Leo and the Carter. The cut is a little longer and a bit less fitted, but I'm happy with the fit.
