Anyone have a favorite pair of gray jeans? I find them very versatile and have been wearing some slim, tapered Levis the past several years. But nowadays I'd prefer more of moderate cut with a straight leg.
Hoping for a fairly high rise (11.5-12" front, 15.5-16" rear) and about an 8" opening. This would be for a 32 or 33 waist.
So far the top two contenders are, on the lower end, Levis STF 501s:
and on the high end Todd Shelton Pro Greys:
I believe some other members have pairs of Todd Shelton grays (@angryjeans, @Patrick R, @bdavro23, maybe others). If you have any pics or thoughts you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd really appreciate seeing and hearing them.
Todd was kind enough to send me a swatch which I've taken a picture of with a couple of Levis:
Ideally I'd like something pretty light in color, like the bottom left.
Rogue Territory has a pair that's really close, with the rise slightly lower than what I'd prefer (and out of stock):
Naked and Famous has a pair with a good front rise, but a surprisingly short back rise (also out of stock):
Any recommendations for a light gray jean with a high rise and straight cut?
