Searching back through the blog, it looks like I haven't yet talked about how fond I am of Gap denim. It shouldn't come at a major surprise - they're a major manufacturer of quality jeans, they make a consistently good product, and it won't cost me a week's salary to buy a pair.
Quite some time ago, I bought a few pairs to work into the rotation to help usher out some older pairs which had served valiantly. I got one pair that was relatively similar to the pairs I'd owned in the past, but I decided to take a bit of a gamble on the other pair. I decided to splurge a little bit and pick up a pair of their selvage denim authentic fit jeans. While they cost a bit more than I'm used to paying, I have to say that months later I couldn't be happier with my decision. They fit just right, the wash has remained dark, there's no imitation "distressing" to make my brand new jeans look like my old, messed up jeans. Just classic dark wash selvage denim that's comfortable as can be, even if they do have a button fly.
I was so happy with these jeans that I went to buy another pair during our Black Friday sale, only to find that they no longer carried my size. I continued to check throughout December, and the supply grew thinner and thinner in all sizes. Then, hoping to take advantage of an after-Christmas clearance, I checked Gap's site once more and my jeans were gone. No mention, no picture, no clearance; just gone. You can imagine my dismay when I discovered that I'd never be able to pick up a backup pair.
So Friday afternoon I was cruising around some clothing sites, and decided to take a peek at Gap just for good measure. Staring me back in the face, there they were: selvage authentic fit in a rigid rinse. Same price, same picture as before, the whole shebang. Now all I need to decide is whether to get one or two pairs, since I can earn 2.0% Cash Back from Ebates.
