484 slim selvedge jean in wheat

I bought these on final sale - and the cut is way more baggy/bootcut than the modern 484. They say "484" on the tag but they are by no means skinny or slim - they are super wide at the ankle and have an awkwardly baggy leg. You can't return them, so Buyer Beware.

A great pair of jeans to wear with many color of shirts, sweaters, sweatshirt, denim, etc., and highly recommend. The 484 runs a little snug in my normal size but fits me well throughout the thighs. Definite add to any closet.

Selected these jeans as they were not something that I find everywhere else. When the jeans came, the fit was awkward in the crotch and the fabric too heavy for this time of year. The color was too non descriptor---not actually white, not cream.

Couple of things to note 1. The colour is very much an off-white/cream. If you're looking for pure white jeans, these aren't for you. 2. They run about a size smaller than indicated. I'm a J Crew 33/32 in chino and corduroys, but my 33/32 are quite snug. You can wear these with a nice dark blue shirt, tucked in, brown belt, and some nice brown derby shoes, blazer over the top if it's not too hot outside. This doesn't give a sinful "shirt tucked into jeans" look, it's quite nice. You can also dress them down with some boat/driving shoes, t-shirt, and a fabric belt. A pretty versatile piece. The actual quality of the denim is really nice, and they have a Summer-y beach look to them with a nice texture and small flecks through the fabric, almost like sand. The selvedge seam is red, which is also present on the coin pocket, which gives a nice accent of colour.

When I told my wife I need light colored or white jeans she dissuaded me citing that short stocky men look fat in them. Having failed in several attempts with white jeans before I agreed. But these aren't exactly white. I have other pants of similar shade that works for me, so I tried these on. Normally I am not a big fan of the skinny fit on pants that seem to be popular among bloggers...but the 484's were much better fit than the 770's (for me atleast.# It is slim, but not overwhelmingly slim. My wife loves them. She says they look better #in terms of fit and shape# than some more EXPENSIVE denim I have, and she loves the color. They look great with sneakers and navy sweaters or pique shirts. White shirts...not so much. I plan on wearing them into the fall until my tan holds up. Mind you I did size down from my normal J Crew pants size though. #Bowery pants and Stanton shorts I wear 33 but with these a 32 fit MUCH better.)

I love the 484 fit, the selvedge details and the compliments I get when I wear these jeans. What more do you need to say? Buy 'em.
