This sort of thing, not really feelin them that much.

pretty sure kuratt is diesels only selvedge model.....However is it raw or rather preshrunk i think?

hantsch whats that selvedge writing, ape? and what are those shoes some tas or other japanese ones?

deffo legit yes. dunno about the evisu thing but if ring ring says so you should believe him!

they shrink down loads, to tab size

those models are 70 and 80 in interstate by the way.

i was just gonna ask how you can have some many selvedge pieces and be 16!! fair play tho....

um a geez on ebay has some, im wearing mine now. like ringring says kinda standard 501 cut without the tapering leg of the greenville. real nice dark indigo, leather patch, selvedge watch pkt and if you are uk 50 quid of the bay aint bad at all.

can deffo reccomend nashvilles mate

some vans are deffo classic material...slip ons and sk8s spring too mino

I jotted these down a few months ago, though im usre lots of people could correct them...

I have some japanese selvedge jeans here up on ebay....

Nashvilles are a nice fit, i would describe as pretty regular, traditional 5pkt, so q a large rise and hence baggy arse, straight leg. Nice leather patch, selvedge coin pkt etc. Bout perfect for me, and the selvedge strip is pretty wide, unlike say LVC, which i think aethestically looks good.

Edwins (nashvilles and greenvilles) are 70 and 80 respectively at Interstate London as far as i remember, though there is a guy with loads of nashvilles on ebay for 45 who provided me with my pair!! Other pairs pop up every now and then, includinf yoshi red tokyo selvedge jean, not that i know anything about it really beyond the name! I wouls recommend Nashvilles though.

Not sure about APC retail, though would be interested also.

Nice, im going to keep my eye out for the X-Line, i like the idea of some selvedge denim in modern cuts (im presuming they are more modern cuts?). DOes anyone know any other models in that range, specifically and 5pkt jean with a little lower rise than a traditional 501cut?

cheers

theres a topman in my town, its not massive so might not have selvedge stuff (london only) but give me a shout if you want serge.

Yo whatsup with some acid washed joints with the elastic waist AND elastic cuffs so you can scruntch that shit above your hightops... I NEED THOSE. one time I pissed in my pants in Kindergarden and the lady in the office gave me a pair of those joints to wear and they were FIRE with my Converse that were like one color on one foot and another color on the other foot.... DAMN. Shit I was STUNNING em when I got back to class. The kids couldn't even tease me, except for this one little bitch in the back row who was all like "Selvege this, selvege that" but that kid ended up shitting his pants at the carnival on the moon bounce and I was like "haha look who's gonna have to wash their raw denim now you little fuck."

that cracked me up

Yes, the selvedge thread is yellow. Ringring is right, both legs twist around the same direction about the same amount.

We should really start a meta-thread of links of and actual denim pics. That would be neat.

silly me, i didnt notice how the left leg (right as you look) had twisted too!

great idea soul^ we could get a sticky and everybody put up phtos of favoured jeans with presice detials about wear, wash, age, cut, size, make and model. the nerd in me loves stuff like this so much!!

im just making a databse of all the films ive seen ordered by date, director and nationality

5eps looking nice there man. nice subtle coin pocket. not sure about the leather label, but i think that will look nice after some wear probably, is the cut straight up normal 501, looks it.

funny how much more onje leg of the d+ds has twisted round more than the other. is it a yellow selvedge thred or just washed out?

yeah i think prps is 210+, tho there were some in duffer down to 70 pounds a few months ago, new year sales i guess. if they had been 501 style i might have considered them, but they were tampered modern type cut thing, nice colour tho. i didnt see any nice jeanidge in selfridge to be honest.

sorry to cover well trod ground i think but are there any physical sellers of denime in UK are is it internet only?

btw guys, for my next pair what would you all recomend, im wanting 5pocket selvedge but with a lower rise as im not too well endowed in the arse-filling department.

Whenever i see my mum she says 'it look like you have a nappy on pull those jeans up around yr waist!!'

So im looking for something slightly more 'fitted' but not in a trendy way at all and should be raw or 1-wash and cheap as poss!!!!!

ta and other people get some photos up in the denim-porn post!

I used to bang Diesels a couple of years ago. I sold all of my pairs 3 + years ago when I could still get some money for them. they were cool when they were the only distressed jeans out there, but now everyone is sporting that look. The look I have been sporting ever since is raw, unwashed, and dirty as fuck. It works for me! We are very fortunate to have slim and med rise selvage denim available these days. You couldn't find much last year.

serge they look awesome...pretty heavy wear for a month, tho i guess your job is pretty physical as its to do with wine. a friend of mine is doing a wine law masters degree near aix-en-province btw, i went there for easter it is soooo nice and pretty warm too for april, where are you in france?!

i like your attitude too 'raw unwashed and dirty as fuck' made me chuckle!!!! Im getting a laptop soon (ordered it today) so when it arrives im gonna be putting up some snaps of my jeans, had a few technical problems at the moment!
