What: Boyfriend jeans
Pattern used: Morgan Boyfriend Jeans by Closet Case Patterns

This is my fourth pair of Morgan jeans; made in the same denim I used for my tester pair. I really like the colour. The fabric it self is soft and has a bit of natural stretch. And it shrinks like a mother ... I managed to wash my tester pair few size smaller with my washing machine. Now I wash my jeans by hand. Most of the time.
This time I tried something wee bit different than the regular classic five pocket style.
I got the idea from Ben Viapiana - a custom denim designer, whom I've been following on Instagram for along time now.
I mixed and matched few of his designs to make my own.
After this pair I've made a discovery - not a big fan of button fly. I mean it's cool and all, and has that "authentic" denim-head feel, but sorry, not for me. Zipper fly FTW.
