imo, i really do think that expensive jeans is bought for your own self satisfaction. i mean, there are tons of people that wear jeans all the time, and won't be able to tell the difference between $50 jeans and $500 jeans, and they wouldn't care for $500 jeans. even if they do know that its of a superior quality. but when you know that a pair of jeans is so well manufactured and textured, only you can get satisfaction out of that. unless you like to show ur selvedge seams with 6 inch roll ups and yell to the world that you are high class or sum shit. i won't be suprised if i spend $800 on a pair in the future, taking into consideration of inflation n other things.

well its got a little e, not back pocket rivets, selvedge inseam, fit is pretty close to the plain 501 jeans in production now. hope that helps.

everyone keeps mentioning the sorahikos, what style is that?

and there are $230 jeans as well, they are the black indigo versions and another black one that's 290

i just picked up a pair of 501 repros from barney's and i really like the cut, but how can i tell what year it was done?

I have to disagree that rag n bone is similar to nudie. my rag n bone seems to be a much lighter weight than what nudie uses and the dyestuf they use seems to be different as the shade of indigo is quite diff. to me atleast. maybe its just the style that I have though. I have a pair of rb6 that's non selvedge.

do you guys think its worth the $200+ or should the money be better spent elsewhere?

yo blanco was that you talking to the dude at nort today? around 5ish

i always wondered how people can tell "denim quality" just from looking at it, i mean, how can they REALLY tell which denim is more superior than the other from looking at it, and feeling it, without doing some research

hey geowu, how do these fit compared to some regular preshrunk 501's? or RR or rescues if u prefer.

hey i've recently gotten a pair of the rb6A, how is the stretch and shrink of them?

I had a spyder jacket that used thinsulate and it was suprisingly warm. prolly one of my favorite winter coats at the time. warmth wise I think its about the same but I like thinsulate because they usually are made with waterproof shells and such unlike wool fabric. but then again I dunno what type of jackets ur getting

ok i got it thanks

how the hell can that be?? lolz. all my jeans that i just checked except for one go like this \\\\ when cuffing the pant. so are all my jeans left hand twill?

Don't be sorry..

The following is a quote:

Left Hand Twill

This refers to the direction that the denim is woven. Left hand twill denim is softer to the touch than right hand twill, and was originally used by Lee denim. Now used by other denim companies such as 45rpm, Kunna, and Lee Japan. Left hand twill is easy to spot, as the weft threads appear to move upward and to the left as opposed to upward and to the right.

Right Hand Twill

This refers to the direction that the denim is woven. The opposite of Left Hand twill, this weave is much more common, as almost all jeans are woven with right hand twill. The weft (filler) threads will be visible in upward-right diagonal lines on right-hand twill jeans.

Broken Twill

Instead of the twill running to the right or left, broken twill jeans (traditionally considered the cowboy-preferred denim) contain no distinct direction of weave. The weave is instead alternated right and left - the end effect resembles a random zig-zag. Wrangler made the first broken twill jeans in 1964. Broken Twill was designed to combat the twisting effect that was a characteristic regular twill (and considered a 'fault' by many at the time). By going on both directions, the tension in the yarns is balanced in Broken Twill.

(end of quote)

I guess drape equals fit? I'm far from an English expert, so I could be wrong.

uhmm is that looking at the pant leg vertically or horizontally? im assuming its horizontally, because a pair i have a pair of 45rpm's that are distressed and noticeably softer that goes up and to the left when looking at it horizontally, while my other pair as well as most others of my jeans go the other way.

sorry for being such a denim noob, but can someone explain to me what the difference between left and right hand twill is and drape?

i think he's trying to make the carpet pattern to look like his penis.. lol

i didn't know marc ecko bought out zoo york. was it just the clothing or skate department as well? cuz that kinda sucks if he did

i don't understand why they almost always have the selvedge line on raw denim and not washed/distressed denim. doesn't the washed/distressed denim come from the same raw denim in the first place?

there are a lot of washed selvage denim.

adsurgo, take nudie for example, they do not use selvedge denim for their washed jeans but do so with their raw jeans. but on their site it seems that they use the same raw jeans and hand distress them for their washed jeans. what's up with that?

im just really curious about this because people refer to selvedge denim as raw just about all the time which then points to the fact that washed denim is usually not selvedge, therefore, possibly made with diff. denim?
