Founded by Kortney Hastin, who drew inspiration for the company from the tough-as-nails men in his family, Norman Russell begins each pair of jeans with denim sourced from North Carolina’s storied Cone Mills Read More
Are these a slim or straight cut jean? And any comment on sizing? I generally wear a 35-36 in most brands... do these run true to size and being that they're already worn in, will they stretch over time like other selvedge denim?
TangfjThey're a standard slim cut. They won't stretch as much as starting from raw state, but they'll open up a little bit, maybe about quarter to half an inch at the most on the waist.

Agreed. I don't even buy stonewashed--it pollutes, it's unhealthy for the employees, and it's totally unnecessary. I'd rather distress them myself.
Alee.GWe try to offer a variety of denim in our community for different folks.
Honestly, as much as a raw denim snob as I am I still think there's a place in everyone's closet to have a nice pair of distressed jeans to wear daytime, specially as we head into the warmer months of the year (this side of the world), and Norman Russell makes some of the best fades I've ever seen done in White Oak Cone Mills fabric.
Anything at this level of craftmanship (yes, there's craftmanship in distressing denim fabric) usually costs twice as much, so we think this are a great deal for a nice pair of American-made denim that have that vintage look. We can agree to disagree.
TomasVHaha well I'm certainly not gonna stop anyone from spending their money if that's what they want. Personally I'm just opposed to the idea of any type of "pre-wear", with the exception of stone washes they feel Wasteful to me. I actually do have some knowledge of "artisanal" denim fading and your definitely right about the comparative price points and labor involved. I guess its just a philosophical opposition to the whole concept. But if you must buy some these definitely aren't a bad deal.
