Skinny Warren in Medium Blue, $128
It's been about a year and a half since I first learned about Mott & Bow. Ever since I reviewed its dress shirts and T-shirts — two products outside of its main product offering — I've had the inclination that the jeans would be were great, too. After trying them out for myself, I completely understand why my colleagues have raved about its denim in the past.
What I like best about them is that they're comfortable on the first wear. I love Selvedge denim, but they usually take a lot of wears to truly become comfortable. Mott & Bow, on the other hand, feels more like soft cotton than hard denim.
I ordered my normal denim size and the sizing was spot on. While I was happy with the fit of the Skinny Warren, it is worth noting that these aren't the skinniest skinny jeans I've worn. If you have a slim build like me and you're going for a skin-tight fit, Mott & Bow probably doesn't have much for you.
I used to never spend more than $50 or $60 on denim, probably because of my own frugal-ness, but I've come to appreciate better-made denim and understand the value you get when paying more. Mott & Bow, without a doubt, is one of those brands where your dollar goes a long way in terms of quality and comfort — you're not just paying for the logo of a legacy or designer denim brand. — Amir Ismael, Insider Picks reporter
