Sling & Stones Organic Denim Review

You can purchase jeans anywhere, but there is a big difference between jeans that are made for the general public and denim made for socially conscious consumers.

Sling & Stones is a small company with the mission of creating handmade organic denim products while using local materials when possible, paying fair trade wages, and giving back to the community at large.

Here’s what goes into the Sling & Stones products. First, the Supima fiber (grown locally in America) is spun into yarn using a small family-run Japanese mill. The twill lining is produced of organic cotton grown in Peru, where the Peruvians make fair wages and are happy to farm cotton rather than being forced to farm cocaine as they were in the past. The twill and denim are embellished by 24k gold plated hardware and thread from India.

The cut of my jeans is called David. The denim is S&S Staple Japanese Organic Supima Selvage. The finish is Synthetic Dyed Indigo. In plain English, the jeans are a straight fit, dark indigo.

This is my first pair of selvage denim jeans. After reading about selvage, I found out that they are meant to be very stiff, but breaks in well. The denim is very comfortable and sturdy. The straight fit is nice and slimming, and there is a low rise and button fly. The buttons are probably my favorite part. Besides being 24k plated gold, they are also square. They do take a few tries to get used to, and after a few uses, the button holes loosened up a bit. One thing that doesn?t work too well for me is the inseam. There isn’t any room to pull the jeans up any higher. Everybody has a different shape in their torso, and I think I have a longer one than most. Aside from the inseam, the jeans are great and they definitely receive compliments from friends and strangers alike.

Sling & Stones is not just another high end organic company, they are artists and innovators. They are giving back so much to the community both foreign and domestic. Their art truly shines through in these jeans. I love them and I?m happy to wear them.

I?d suggest checking out slingandstones.com where you can find all sorts of information such as to what others are saying, store locator (Stockist), the men?s and women?s collection and more.

Hopefully there will be more reviews in the future, so keep checking back.
