더 데이즈 / 이타카

The slight taper from the knee is exactly what I wanted—it keeps the straight leg from feeling boxy. The medium indigo has that worn-in depth without looking overdone, and the honeycomb creases behind the knees are already settling in nicely.

The whisker fading on these looks like it came from years of wear, not a factory—I keep catching myself double-checking the creases. The medium indigo ‘Ithaca’ wash has that perfect depth, and the slight taper from the knee keeps the straight leg from feeling baggy.

Been wearing these for a couple weeks now and the Cone Mills denim has that nice stiff feel that softens just right with each wear. The whiskering around the hips looks genuinely lived-in, not printed on.
