These Ervell jeans look a lot like these jeans my grandpa was obsessed about. There was this ad in the VFW magazine he read and every month he’d be like, “Check out these jeans. They have an elastic waist and look at the denim, it’s so fancy.” I don’t know if the denim was fancy but it was the same kind of weird, but not actually weird, shade of blue like these five pocket twill jeans. So if you ever wanted to dress like my grandpa, buy these Ervell jeans. Then shove an impressive amount of napkins into your chest pocket and then sandwich your readers and some mints in there and you’re killing it.
