Portola Classic Taper 17 Ounce Black White Denim

The other positive reviews are accurate. Great cut and fit. High quality jeans. No sense repeating what has been said. I wasn’t sure what size to order. My waist is a 35-35.5. I ordered the 32 (size 34 waist) expecting some stretch. I hate jeans that fit perfectly at first, then after time I have to wear a belt. After 36 hours of wear the waist has stretched 1” to a 35. They fit exactly how I want them too. No baggy seat either. Thighs haven’t stretched much. The material is still stiff (heaviest denim I own now, likely won’t ever go heavier) but it has softened up a little and is comfortable. I know these jeans will soften more in time. Exactly what I was looking for. The cut is what the Naked and Famous Weird Guy should be. Quite impressed with the product. They do look great! Nice work Freenote!

Seriously good jeans! The fabric is thick but also pretty soft from the first wear. The fit is generous and suits me with larger thighs. The pockets are actually usable and your hands can fit in them comfortably. The taper is not too sharp so you can have tall boots underneath. However, it is still sharp enough that the silhouette looks great. The build quality and attention to detail is top notch. Don’t worry about the price, they are more than worth it. I wouldn’t consider another brand when buying my next pair of jeans.

Love these!
Great texture to the fabric

Let me start by saying that the portola fit is the most perfect tapered cut I’ve tried on. They are great balance of a clean, modern silhouette without giving me a “carrot leg” situation that should work well with most body types. The fabric is fantastic and the white weft almost gives it the appearance of an extremely dark indigo at first glance. The pocket bags are a great touch and the leather patch is oily and should hold up well over time and some washes. The hardware is the usual coppery goodness that I’ve come to love on all freenote garments. Wouldn’t change a thing!
