Moleskin Jeans

I see your five pocket cords and raise you.  Moleskin trousers already popped up on Sart Inc as a great F/W alternative so I figured I would muse a little on moleskin jeans as well.  Polo put their killer moleskin jeans on sale and, as someone who owns an earlier version of this pant, I offer my full endorsement.  If you had passed on moleskin trousers up until this point because they were a little out of your comfort zone, this is probably a better starting point.  The 5 pocket silhouette is extremely familiar to everyone who reads this blog, but when done in moleskin the style gets a wonderful upgrade - don't be afraid of juxtaposition.  I really can't say enough good things about Polo's moleskin jean.  The cut is great (if you've never tried on their slim-fit), the fabric is luxurious and they look badass.  The thing I like most about these is how you can beat the shit out of them.  A 5 pocket style pant is an everyday pant and the moleskin ages in a really unique way.  You can wear them a lot this time of year and they are machine washable.  After one season you are going to have a non-denim pair of jeans that are truly all your own.  For $105 that's one of the best deals around.
