they aren't new, actually.. but have very little distribution. I interned at a fashion showroom in London last year and they were in the process of phasing out 1921 b/cit wasn't selling at all there.
I have liked a few pairs that I have seen over the last 2 years, but,imo, their men's line was better than their womens. overall, i always thought the quality was great though, so if you liked em, go for it! i'm still kicking myself for not grabbing a skirt I wanted while i was there..:)
I actually bought a pair a few weeks ago. I had never heard of them either, and googled them when I got home. Sounds like a cool Canadian company.
I specifically went shopping for a pair of skinny jeans, and tried on all the usual suspects like Habitual, Seven, Paige, etc....and the 1921s fit perfectly. The wash and detailing are really cool, and they have a really long inseam. Here they are:
I'm excited that you can't get them everywhere, so I'll have something a little more unique!
Anyway, I'm glad someone else has heard of them! HTH
