  1. didnt see the small questions thread.. if the mods choose to move it there, so be it!

    ya cant put a thread inside a thread. software engineers are working on it though. maybe in 5 or 6 years.

  2. I believe I saw them when I was in japan last month. Store workers wouldnt even let you TOUCH them, let alone try em on. The whole vibe was too uppity for my style. Jeans just arent meant to be put on that big of a pedestal.

  3. spoiled. How old are you? and your parents still do your laundry?

    im guessing atleast 50 percent of the members here still live with their parents.

    this one shit on honestforum.com was so stupid he actually posted a thread complaining how his mom refused to give him $140 for a pair of used diesels he wanted, and that she only would give him $120. and he couldnt come up with another $20 on his own so he pleaded to the guy to lower the price.

  4. It is safe to assume you have never touched a pair of PBJs or Samurais

    I own both Diesels and japanese selvage/dry denim. They both have their perks. I like japanese selvage because the material and construction is high quality, I like breaking them in and making them my own, and in my area atleast, its an uncommon thing.

    I like prewashed brands like Diesel and R&R because they come out looking prime, without having to wear them every damn day for months on end, and not being able to wash them.

    And I know we dont care what anyone thinks (yet we buy brands we see other people sporting, post pictures of our outfits and ask for opinions), but from the compliments i've received from friends, acquaintances, girls at the club or bar, all of them have been for my prewashed jeans. The average non denim geek doesnt understand or appreciate dry denim or levis repros and they misjudge them as plain ordinary cheap jeans.

    And ive tried explaining it to these people before, but I end up just alienating myself.

    Prewashed designer jeans = pop music

    Premium selvage = cult classic

  5. FYI most Diesel stores are having a sale starting on the 14th of this month, 30 to 50 percent off. This is their once a year sale. I'd check it out if you're near one of their stores.

    The cheapest online retailer to get authentic Diesel jeans is yoox.com

    However, their selection is kind of spotty, and they dont list the wash. But if you find your size, and a cut you like, you'll be getting an awesome deal. Got me a new pair of Zathans for $80.

  6. Talking about Diesel jeans here would be like talking about martin luther king jr on stormfront.org

    I happen to love Diesel jeans, and they're a good option if you want prewashed denim. However, I rarely pay full retail price on them. Zathans are awesome. Slammers are good if you're a rocker.

    Hit up honestforum.com if you havent already.
