TBH I'm pretty "meh" about this collection now that it's released. I appreciate the minimal distressing, but that's pretty par for the course considering Everlane brands itself as minimalist. I guess I was hoping that at least one model would look a little more like the great vintage-y pairs they often show their models in -- higher waisted, slightly loose fit, perfect faded wash. I always look at their photo shoots and think, "ooh, those jeans are great" -- but none of these jeans are those jeans. Sigh.
Also -- it looks, from the size chart, like the calves on all of these are sooo skinny. I'd have to go up several sizes and have the whole waist/seat taken in to make even the boyfriend cut work. I realize that being a size 25 with 14.5" calves might make me an outlier, and maybe I'm less tolerant of skintight fits than others are.
Fingers crossed that the black boyfriends materialize for you! (Also, Everlane's OOS/backorder system makes *no* sense to me.)
