Ann's been wear-testing this exact pair for a few months — and she's concluded that you really do need them, even if you have a million other pairs of blue jeans in your closet. They're that good. The Kendall has a slightly higher rise than our other denim, with an easier fit through the leg and subtly-cropped flare. Ann describes the fit and wash as "vaguely western" — pair it with boots and a crisp shirt (maybe add a vintage belt?) and report back.
