One major revelation for me during this year has been that not only am I changing styles, but Iām also changing sizes in clothes. No I didnāt really lose or gain wait for this change (though I have lost weight thanks to getting my Ulcerative Colitis in check.) This is more about the fact that Iāve been wearing the wrong size of clothing for a while. I spoke a little bit about this body dysmorphia here. All that to say, my mental style shift has come at the right time. Iām re-vamping my wardrobe and getting the right size this time around.

I donāt know if it is the pandemic, living in LA, or what; however, I love a good jeans and t-shirt combo as of late. Itās what Iām wearing right now and what I often reach for. I had a ton of jeans, but got rid of them this summer to make room for items I actually loved and ones that fit well. Iām adding to my wardrobe slowly, but surely. A brand that stood out to me during my (ongoing) style quest was Mott and Bow.
Mott and Bow actually reached out to me and Iām so glad they did. Iām writing about them today because I love the mission and the product. Mott and Bow was founded by Alejandro Chahin in 2014. His family started a denim manufacturing company in Honduras when he was growing up, so he is no stranger to the business. His dream began with a desire to shift the price equals quality mentality and was achieved when Mott and Bow was created. He still uses his family own facility to produce higher quality jeans at a lower price point.
Mott and Bow jeans range from $96 to $128. The jeans Iām wearing ring in at $118. I know that is still high, but when you compare to other premium jeans, those typically start around $150 to $200, if not higher. Keep reading for some reasons to check out their products.
WHY MOTT AND BOW
Family owned. Not only are you supporting a family business, but you are buying handcrafted, premium jeans at a lower price.
Great quality. These fit right in with my other premium denim and again, they are less money! Also, these are the nicest pair of jeans Nick owns!
Fit range. Womenās jeans are offered in sizes 24 - 32 (even odd sizes) and inseams 28 - 30 - 32. Menās jeans come in sizes 28 - 38, 40, 42 , inseams 30 - 32 -34, and fits strait slim and skinny. Womenās also has different silhouettes such as slim boyfriend, mid-rise skinny, high-rise skinny, and the mom jean.
Easy / Convenient. Denim sizing can be tough, especially with brand you havenāt tried before. Mott and Bow has a free At Home Try-On program where you can get 2 pairs of jeans and ship the one that didnāt fit well back with a return label, free of charge! Nick and I utilized this. I actually sized down from my original pair and he sized up! I wear a 26 in Madewell, Frame, etc, but ended up going to a 25. I am wearing a 28 inseam. Nick typically wears a 34 in Mavi, Revtown, and others, but sized up to a 35 in these. I will say that Mot and Bow jeans has less stretch than he is used to, so that is probably why! He wears a 30 inseam for a shorter look.
Full line. Yes they have a style for everyoneās jean taste, but they also have shirts! I love this striped t-shirt. Not only is it cute, but can be dressed up or down. So versatile! Nick got this super cute henley tee. The buttons make it more than just a t-shirt, plus it is a great layering piece. Both tees are under $50 and make for great basics!
