Cause Every Girl is Crazy About a Sharp Dressed Man: Walker Relaxed Straight Leg Style Men's Jeans by J Brand Highly Recommended By Whom You Know

We are so pleased to kick off our inaugural coverage of J Brand!
As we close in on 5,000 posts on Whom You Know, you should know two things:  
1. Above all else, we are about excellence, and style and fashion are a big part of that.  How you present yourself matters, whether you like it or it, and whether it is fair or not.  We are here to help you discern what is best.  And it's not just Peachy that is here to help: it is the whole panel who exude style on all accounts.  Each person was hand picked to participate.
2. Until now, we have never critiqued jeans.

We love jeans!  Peachy Deegan's favorite jeans personally are by the Ralph Lauren Polo Jeans Company, owned for years before Whom You Know existed.  She also likes jeans that are Calvin Klein's from the 1980's that were made famous by Brooke Shields in the commercials where nothing came between her and her Calvins-and although they are extremely broken in, she still wears these that were her dad's although they're nearly as old as her.  Peachy thinks for every pair of jeans she has tried on, she has actually bought about 1 in 30 pairs.  


She has not found any new jeans she has been excited about in many years.  Until now.  Unfortunately, they are not in her size, but the fabulous panelists fit in them perfectly!  Excellent jeans are hard to find, whether they are jeans for men or women.  As far as you know, perhaps we HAVE critiqued jeans, but did not like them, therefore they did not receive a post.  In the course of the gentlemen of Whom You Know reviewing footwear for See Manhattan on Your Feet, we came in contact with the J Brand name.  These men with discriminating tastes reviewed the “Walker,” which is the relaxed straight leg style, in three different washes.  This is a great style for classic men who are athletic, and this is why we picked this fit.  They are a great style whether you are 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 and Peachy would even recommend them for her uber-cool Grandfather, though he is not on the panel yet.


Peachy put the men to work, and they say:


I am the kind of person that is fabulously picky about everything.  If I can't have the best, I don't want it at all.  I have found J Brand to be among the very best.  The Walker cut by J Brand are very nice jeans: they are soft and comfortable , nice and light weight and perfect for summer right now or winter where you go when it's cold up north.  I would highly recommend these jeans!  Cut well and classic, the Walker by J Brand are the best pair of jeans I’ve ever wore.  I am getting so many compliments!  Finally I have found a pair of jeans that are as gorgeous as my car.


I am 6'2 and thin.  It hard for me to find jeans I like that fit the correct way.  These jeans hold onto my waist perfectly and fit my behind without making it look flat.  It holds to my body form which I love.  Many jeans make your backside look either flat or big.  These make it look just right.  My legs are also thin so I feel these jeans were made for me!  They don't make my legs look skinny but also are not baggy which I dont like.  The quality looks great and I love the color of these they can look good dressed down or also with a sport coat at a fancy event so they are very versatile.  


Alas – in vogue jeans for tall men!  Until now, my boyfriend was forced to wear whatever jeans he could find with a 36” inseam without regard to style or wash.  These jeans are wonderful - the style and color are current and extremely versatile i.e. they can be paired with a sportcoat one night and then a t-shirt one day (usually the next day).  Additionally, the denim is the perfect weight – not too heavy, not too thin.  My favorite part about these true-to-size jeans is the “design” on the back pockets.  Unlike most designer jeans with loud/flashy insignia on the back pockets, these are very unassuming – just like my guy! 

J Brand co-founders Jeff Rudes creates classic and sophisticated jeans with an emphasis on fit - and one mandate: create timeless products.  We love this philosophy and are so glad they emerged in 2008! The chic modern simplicity of J Brand is what sets it apart - clean pockets, classic dark washes and tailored fits. They offer 11 distinct washes that are broken in.  We look forward to working with J Brand continuously at Whom You Know!
