Ande Whall "Slacker" Photographs

Here are some photographs showing the fit and some detail of my Ande Whall Slackers. It's been worn on a regular basis since early January, and the denim has become much softer than they started out as. In addition, it has been stretched in some areas, and the pockets have gained an interesting slightly skewered shape. The honeycombs and stacks are well on the way, and I'm predicting a very nice fade in these areas, and certainly on the thighs.
