New Edition. New Addition.

Two of Abercrombie and Fitch's new edition denim styles have found their way into my closet. One was by a simple twist of fate, and the other, thanks to a friend who came from NY.


The first one is a Saranac Signature Boot in Extreme Light wash. It has destroyed details all around, plus the classic moose embroidered at the right leg. Aside from the embroidery, there's also a silk screened print that adds to the design character of the jeans. The fit is nice, and the fade is just enough to keep it from entering the dreaded "Get Used - early 90s" era. This would look awesome with a plain white shirt.


The second is a Kilburn Low Rise Boot in Dark Dirty Wash. This one doesn't look to spectacular when you hold it up, but once you wear it - it becomes a totally different animal. The fit is great, the waist is very low yet not too tight, so it just skims the hip rather than strangling it. The leg, though relaxed, still follows the shape of the thigh closely. Ergo, it looks slim, but it gives the leg room to move around. The wash is found between "Dark" and "Dirty" which enables it to move from rugged to smart casual just by a change of tops.

Now i've got 2 more pairs that will join the group of "newly acquired but haven't been used" jeans in my closet. I have to get out of the house more...
