A few items from my closet that I’m looking to pass along. All prices for denims include priority shipping and tracking in the US from USPS. I can include more pictures or measurements if interested. PM me with offers if you are interested. Paypal only

RRL Slim Straight Black Selvage 30 x 34 NWT $100

These are another pair of RRL washed jeans that I bought thinking that I would wear, but they’ve just sat around unworn. These jeans are brand new, Made in USA from black Japanese selvage denim. They have all the nice features that RRL Jeans normally have: selvage outseams, hidden rivets, chainstitching etc.

Although these are marked a 30, I would say they probably fit more like a 33-34, they are meant to be worn lower on the hips, which explains they weird sizing, just look at the measurements carefully to make sure you get the right size.

The fading on these if very tasteful, as is customary for RRL products. They have nice buttonfly atari, traintracks, and subtle whiskering. This pair has a very well-characterized vintage fade.

Measurements:

Waist: 35

Front Rise: 9.5

Back Rise: 14

UpperThigh: 12.5

Knee: 8.75

Hem: 8.25

Inseam 34.5

NWT 36x34 RRL Straight Leg, Made in USA from Japanese Denim $100

These jeans are Brand New with all hang tags, Made in USA from Japanese selvage denim. $285USD Retail. They feature a straight leg cut that can be full or slim-straight depending on how you size. Nice detailing includes selvage outseam and coin pockets, hidden rivets on the back pockets, 5-button fly, chainstitching on the waist and the hems, etc. I just have too many pairs of raw denim to wear a washed pair.

I normally do not like the distressing from many manufacturers of jeans, but I think most will agree that RRL does some of the most tasteful renditions of vintage-like fades. The whiskering is natural and lightly done, but most beautiful is the excellent roping on the hems that is just begging to be upturned

Measurements:

Waist: 38

Front Rise: 12.5

Back Rise: 16.75

Upper Thigh: 13.5

Knee: 9.5

Hem: 9

Inseam 34

NWT 36x30 RRL Straight Legs $80

These are brand new RRL Straight Leg Jeans that are made in Japan. Retail is $165 These jeans are oddly non-selvage, although the denim is still very high quality and as the pictures show, the denim is very irregular and have a lot of character. The distressing on these RRL’s is great, the fading on the lap and butt is really natural, the slubby denim looks really interesting, and the hems are a bit frayed and show good roping. Definitely a really good job of a vintage-style fade.

These have the normal premium denim features like hidden rivets, 5 button fly, chainstitching on the hems, waistband and yoke, V-stitch, leather patch, etc.

Measurements:

Waist: 36

Front Rise: 11

Back Rise: 16

Knee: 9

Hem: 8.75

NWT Gap Straight Leg Rigid Selvage 32x32 $35

These are new Gap Selvage jeans from probably 3 years ago. I bought them several years back when I started getting into denim and thought these were interesting for the price. They just sat in my closet, so I’m giving up on them. These are sanfordized Japanese selvage denim with selvage outseams and coin pocket, five pockets, and a straight leg cut.

Measurements:

Waist: 34

Front Rise: 10.5

Back Rise: 15.5

UpperThigh: 12.5

Knee: 9

Hem: 8.75

Inseam 33.5

Copper Keyring Hook $10

I made one for myself and have gotten a couple requests since, so I thought I'd put them here on my FS thread. Each is handmade by me from annealed 5mm pure copper wire. $10 shipped in the US, international, we can talk about price.

This is a representative picture of size, there is some variance since I make them basically to-order. Mine is particularly beat-up since it was the first one I made.

^^would rep if I could. SN Celebration ftw

when? I'm busy with school and work, but with sufficient notice I can plan around it

^^ thought about it since the 12-24 does "pump" as KenRock would call it, in that the 10-24 moves front and back while zooming. But I think the extra 2mm on the wide end is totally worth it. Nice get on the 12-24 for $500, but I think I'll pony up the extra and get a new lens + warranty from an American supplier if I decide to get it

So I'm currently using a Nikkor AF-S DX 18-55mm zoom (d5000 kit lens). What next:

24-120mm f3.5-5.6 VR AF-D?

AF 35-135mm?

AFS DX VR 55-200mm?

I'm leaning towards the 55-200 because of the max focal length.

Depends what you plan on shooting. The 55-200VR was the first extra lens I got with my d40 kit, but except for at sporting events and occasionally outdoors, I find I don't use this lens very much because it is of limited range (80-300mm 35mm equiv) and s l o w aperature. The VR helps with hand shake, but not with stopping motion. Good news is that it's cheap, really cheap, you could probably find one for a little more than $100 if you are willing to scour ebay or CL for a used one.

Similar to the 55-200, the 24-120VR is slow and although wider, 24mm on a DX sensor, just isn't quite wide enough most of the time. I think that the 18-105VR would be cheaper and although shorter on the long end, the extra 6mm on the wide end is definitely worth it. The 24-120 is slightly more expensive since it is FX. By selling the 18-55 you could get the 18-105VR for about $250.

I don't think the 35-135 is AF-S so I don't think it will autofocus on the D5000, which would make it a terrible choice on that body.

So if you want reach, the 55-200VR would fit the bill cheaply, the 70-300VR might be better for more reach, but it starts at $400-500 on the secondary market. I would suggest the 35mm AF-S if you are looking for something more useful. With the D5000 CMOS sensor and the f/1.8 of the 35, you can take substantially better pictures in low light and have more versatility with DoF

should i get a d90 now off of craigslist or wait a bit for something new?

If you are in the market for a mid-level D-SLR, then I would get a D90 now. I've been shooting one for the better part of the year now and it's been everything I've wanted after stepping up from the D40. And if you are worried about something better coming along, the D90 was introduced about a year ago so it's replacement is probably at least another year away. You'd have to wait for a D4, D800, and D400 before the D90 replacement would be introduced. What I would do is get the D90, use it for a year or so and sell it for $900 when the D400 is announced and sit on that cash until the replacement comes along.

Also: Does anyone have experience with the 10-24 DX? I'm really considering getting one with some money I've saved up and after selling some jawns

really like the splash of red with the shoes. It's very refreshing when the rest of the fit is monochromatic, although they look big!

^^ lol just had hands in my pockets.

And the pockets are kinda big, but with the wallet did stretch it out a bit and my relative lack of butt ex(ass)erbates this
