Benzak - B-01 Slim - 15oz Vintage Indigo Selvedge - Special #2
When we first saw Benzak, this was the denim we fell in love with. Ony a few times in the past have we seen a dual-color selvedge ticker on a jean. It is so unique that we were instantly drawn to it. This time, you're looking at blue and orange - a perfect combo in our mind. This is only possible because it's a proprietary fabric for Benzak woven in Italy by Candiani. This denim is some of the softest, strongest denim on the planet. It's made with all the quality standards you'd expect from Italian craftsmanship. From afar this denim was beautiful...when we put it on the game changed entirely. The fabric has a heft that you would expect from 15oz denim. So, when you pick it up and slip it on you're expecting a long and arduous break-in. As soon as you get your first leg in, you're in for a surprise. The weft side of this denim is soft as butter. It's almost as if some power fabric like cashmere has been woven in. But, the reality is it's just cotton. It's what Candiani does. They make the unmakeable! This pair will have your senses flying all over the place. It's Benzaks Special #2, and it's otherworldly.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 30 in the images. His typical size is a 31, but these seem to fit just a little bigger. The curved waistband and rise make these instantly comfortable in the top block. The best part is that they still taper nicely to the ankle. Overall, these seem a lot like a "goldilocks" fit to us. It seems to fit everyone. Tommy is 5'10," 170lbs with a 32.5-33" true waist measurement.
