Whenever I hear about a new denim brand, my first reactions are to question the look, then the fit of the jeans. Take STONE BLUE JEANS, for example. I tried on the ”Jessie” Skinny Boot jean in a dark indigo shine wash (it’s sort of sparkly) and “Victoria” Straight Leg in a faded bleached out wash. I will say, based only on these two jeans out of the entire collection, the wash and finishing techniques are excellent. I came to realize why the finishes were so good, only after I had tried on the jeans and judged them by their own merits without any additional information that would’ve tainted my opinions. The masterminds behind Stone Blue Jeans apparently spent over a decade honing their skills on other denim labels before going off on their own to launch Stone Blue.
Both jeans fit me well and have a slimming effect on the figure. The “Jessie” Skinny Boot is an innovative cut to have in your denim closet while the “Victoria” offers vintage inspired finish and wash options. Conclusion: I like them. Francine (Denim Therapy Founder) likes them. So, check ‘em out once the entire collection hits retailers near you this fall.
