I’ve wanted to try Roy’s but the sticker shock is real. I love Orslows lighter washes. Heard great things about Glenn’s Denim and COF too. There are too many great denim options to try them all.
I'm a Californian through and through but I moved to Atlanta for grad school 10 years ago. Grew up in Orange County and spent much time visiting Berkely, Oakland, and SF to visit friends during college. Still have friends who live in SF and I was there in March right before the COVID lockdowns...

Aero Highwayman via my trade with @jonbuilder. Thanks!
Fits 100x better than my STF BL. I can actually zip it and exhale. I’m not used to the boxy shape, but I think this HWM still looks pretty good (just better when worn open). Looking forward to logging some miles in this.
