For me personally it’s been hard getting into cut n sew brands these days, or maybe any brand for that matter.  I feel only a few are bringing it correct with the branding, marketing, quality, and design.  After laying low for quite some time on purchasing anything, I finally copped a pair of the Maiden Noir Slim Straights (Keep in mind I’m not a big denim person but I do like nice jeans from time to time).  They fit nice, have good sized pockets, and I do like the refined detail of the double belt loops. In general, they’re just a nice pair of jeans and I can’t wait to break/wear them in.  I’m also digging their other pieces like button ups, jackets, and 5 panels.  They don’t have an overwhelming amount of pieces in their collection, yet it’s just enough for someone who’s trying to get into their brand.  Quality over quantity.  I think the whole story behind their brand is pretty neat too.  Check out the story at their newly launched site at www.maidennoir.com  (big ups to the hommie Rhett at Cmonwealth for my fresh pair!)
