Paleo Denim | Test In Time

I have been watching a small Austin based company, Paleo Denim, through Instagram since mid-late last year and after becoming enthralled with what they were doing I made it down to check out the operation and pick up a fresh pair or ready mades... Little did I know it would lead to me finding what has now become my favorite pair of denims. 

Be sure to check out what Roger has going on at www.paleodenim.com

Fit // A little beefy through the thighs, which is a must for this guy, and a slight taper make for a good mix between style and functionality.

Construction // While I could probably stand a little more toughness in the pocket bags all in all these puppies are pretty solid and have stood up pretty nice to 4 months of every day ass kicking. 

Details // On the surface they don't have much flair, but if you really take the time to look, you will notice an impeccable eye for detail in the thread coloring. Honestly I don't know if I would have caught this had I not visited Roger in the shop, but now it's far and away my favorite thing about this pair.

#workshirt #2 is complete, and definitely an improvement from the first. 11oz redline #selvedgedenim with #selvedge detail on the cuffs, pocket, gussets and inside the placket. I'm realizing more and more lately that creating products with my own hands is what creates genuine satisfaction deep in my soul and can't wait to get started on the next one! I'm thinking red #chambray .... #handmade #denim (at Austin, Texas)

Cuff detail on #denim #workshirt #2 #selvedgedenim #selvedge #handmade I have had so much fun working on both this, and my first work shirt. The lessons learned, the obstacles I have overcome and the pure joy of creating something I use day in and day out has created a feeing like none other. I'm looking forward to the continuing this experience and learning more everyday to make each shirt better than the last. Stay tuned! (at Austin, Texas)
