MNML M5 (Short) Denim Review

IntroductionThis is a short review of the L.A. based brand MNML, specifically the M5 Denim ($64 usd). Lately MNML has become more and more popular for selling "high end" yet affordable denim, specifically like Fear of God. For sizing in this review, I am 5'9 (1.75 meters) and 150 pounds. The size of the denim is 32.MaterialThe M5 denim is 100% cotton, and features a ten inch ankle zipper, though I'm not entirely sure what brand the zipper is. [Zipper Pics: 1, 2, 3] And on the back right of denim, there's a very soft leather patch with "mnml" imprinted.ConstructionFor $64, the quality was actually very good. The stitching is very strong, and evenly done throughout the whole piece. [1, 2, 3] The zipper smoothly opens and closes, and it feels strong enough that I wouldn't have to worry about it breaking with everyday wear. It also has a button fly, and comes with an extra button.Fit(5'9, 150 pounds, size 32) [1, 2] Because it is 100% cotton, I sometimes find the pants to be a little uncomfortable, especially in the thighs. But after wearing them for a little bit and walking around the cotton does loosen up a bit. The denim fits fairly relaxed from the knees up, but has a sharp taper just below, leaving them with a 5 3/4" leg opening. The inseam is about 32", while the whole length is about 42". And as expected, the pants stack a lot, and very nicely too. [1, 2]ConclusionSince they're jeans, they are very versatile and I found myself wearing them very frequently. The construction quality is great, but nothing special. And for $64 with free shipping, it's hard to complain. The biggest problem I had was the container it came in when it was shipped. It was delivered in a plastic/ bubblewrap mailing bag with mnml protection, but that's probably since I ordered just one item.I'll answer any questions or provide any additional pics. via /r/streetwear http://ift.tt/2uGEO6E
