Hudson  /  Hudson

The fit was great, but I was expecting top quality for $200 a pop. The material felt thin and not necessarily something that would hold up for a decade, so I sent them back, disappointed. At the same time, I ordered the Express jeans I'm wearing in today's pictures. And guess what? A random, $37 pair of jeans I ordered on a whim were a thicker and nicer material. I think it would be easier to have absolutes in fashion. Such as, I once had a great pair of Hudson's so that trick must work again... but unfortunately it's not always the case. I've talked about being brand blind in the past - don't let the fancy jeans fool you into thinking they are great, and don't let the not fancy jeans not impress you. Ultimately it doesn't matter what the label says. So it's $37 jeans for the win... this time.
