bought these as a present for a levi 501 purist.  he says these are his favorite jean now.
the dark gunmetal grey (anthracite) color is great, the finish on the jeans is a real wow factor.  like a waxy/oil coating , similar to those Australian outback coats.  the fabric is stiff at first, but softens with wear.  the fit is very slender. the look is sleek, stylish, and rock & roll.
