I just received my order. I bought some clothes to try new things.
They sure feel tough. I'm impressed with the material and design at first glance. They certainly blow the fucking doors off the Carhartts I received the previous day. There's no comparison.
That said, I can't get away from this third-word impression I'm getting from them. I know they are made in China, and I don't like that at all, but they kind of seem like something you'd buy off the back of a pickup in Nairobi. That was the first thing that popped into my head.
I'm sure they'll last a long time, but so do Firestone and Pirelli sandals.
Maybe it's the stitching, or the way they are tailored; I don't know. Everything seems to fit nice, and the hardware isn't cheap, but there are little mistakes present.
None of them are serious, but they are the kind that brings to mind outdated machinery and rushed production. That's not it, though. It's a little annoying, but it's not the problem.
Something just isn't there, as if these are too far divorced from the mind that thought them up.
It's almost as if the bag should have been labeled "Trousers, Abrasion Resistant Utility; Size 3A, Color B".
Am I crazy, or does anyone else get this impression?
I look at them and think "good", but I'm just not feeling good when I'm thinking it.
Cheers,
Kennith
