they wouldn't charge those prices if idiots wouldn't PAY those prices.

don't worry, you've been reported to the proper authorities for your thought crime!

oh give it a month, you'll be back to being a fashion whore again, Fade to Black. it happens to me all the time.

I'm with you completely on the silly back pocket stitching, g'rep, that is a straight-up deal breaker. If not China, would Taiwan be acceptable? I have a hunch you guys are being facetious about the silver patch but if you're not then I say "Be afraid, be very afraid".

it's more a matter of cost to produce rather than a slight to chinese construction.

i said MALE children.

first, it can't have a stupid name, like acne. second, it can't have ghey pocket stitching like nudie or evisu. third, it can't be a bandwagon, opportunistic brand, like jean shop. fourth, it can't be made in china. lastly, the brand has to meet Fade to Black's standards!

man, you guys are crazy buying jeans that you can barely button, and have to stretch into. do you ever plan to have male children?

damn, dude. you must be like a size 27.

LA Guy: i was not kidding this time.

Circa: trouser style is just the tip of the iceberg for rag & bone's fits, denims, washes.

lastly, since when are APC's $140? i bought mine for $120. when did that increase happen?

i can tell you right now those jeans aren't worth $240. i've seen 'em, and they aint that special. i'd buy rag and bone or 5EP over those any day.

uh-oh. they've received the seal of approval by ringring. they've passed inspection by serge. all they need now is the go ahead by whiskey, and we have a new APC/SugarCane/er...King of All Denim!

i don't know, at more than twice the price, it's hard to compare. but i see your point.

oh great. jean shop jeans will be the new sugar cane on superfuture.

i saw a pair of levi's designed by junya watanabe for $970. i think that wins for most expensive ready-to-wear jeans that i've seen (previous title r by 45rpm at $754). i guess in that case you looking at a very limited run. what perplexes me is why the marc jacobs jeans are over $600.

philly doesn't need a streetwear/sneaker store, especially near south st. if i had capital to open up a shop, I'd open it on one of those streets near Liberty (3rd or 2nd, can't remember) by all the art galleries and record stores. then i would do a mostly men's/some women's military themed clothing and accessories. think about it- you could carry lines that are inspired by military/survival designs. i don't know, dries van noten comes to mind. maybe varvatos, acronym maybe, or some of those far out japanese brands. you could even have select military surplus stuff; things like those german army sneakers. one could even do things like carry surefire flashlights, binoculars, who knows- just brainstorming. the point is, you need to make it a destination. it needs to be something that draws people from the tri-state area. i think a streetwear/sneaker place would just get lost in the shuffle, especially near south st. besides, does your run of the mill streetwear look that good in this post-Ali G world?

are there non-gay superfuture members???

Come on, anyone?

Could you try and compare the fit to say a Nudie or APC model?

And are they Japanese or European repros?

i'll get a pic of them tonight. i also need to post a pic of the raf simmons jeans.

wrangler, it's the biggest. it fits a cell phone quite easily.

i did a warm wash with hang dry and found no more than an inch in shrinkage, so they're still about a 36" in length. i'm sure if i dried them, it'd be a different story.

i went with the '37s, as you may remember, and they are my favorite jeans. even more so than the Edo Ai's. the fit is somewhere between '55 and '47 LVC. the '37s are worth it for the branded cowhide patch, alone.

yeah, i tried that, but it didn't work for some reason. thanks anyway

i'll chill when i'm dead. you should come to boston just for louis, alan bilzerian, and barney's alone.

how'd you do that? i always forget how to post. someone needs to make a sticky, methinks. i want to learn so that i can post my raf simmons jeans too
