WESC Denim

[DJ_Flame]

Are these worth buying? I can get them for very cheap, but not sure if I wanna throw my money on a streetwear lable making denim.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

WE's jeans are generally very crappy and ugly, I don't know about this particular pair though, but I'd still stay away. I wouldn't waste time on jeans that might not be up to par.

now on the other hand, if you can get WE knit sweaters cheap thatd be the shit. Can you? cause i'd be very interested.

[Ryan_Cngo]

The overallfeel and quality of the denim sucks. Stay away from them, just because the jeans are selvedged doesn't mean they're perfect nor are they worth the money.

just came back from their website, their stuff ont look so good....sorry

[Sauce]

They have really cool beanies.

[showbiz00ditc]

yea n i looooove their wool knit zipsweaters

[niche]

unless you could get real cheap, i would stay away. I bought some WESC dnm for my store bc they pushed it on me. I haven't sold one pair for guys. They look good on the ladies, but the guys fits are not good. The rest of the line on the other hand is incredible. I agree about the knits. All the knits, accessories, hoodies, etc are supreme quality.

For real, if you can get their knits for cheap, please hook a brother up.

montreal,

not trying to push product but check out our site...www.thenichemarket.com. We have a few we knits under outerwear. The "charles" cardigan is my favorite. We also have it in Black in a xl, (runs really small).

Its a sale from my friend's store, and he only carries the hoodies and jeans. No knits I'm afraid.

[Guest Montreal]

Since we're on the topic of WESC, how their hooded tops fit? I'm 5'11, 170ish. Would a medium work?

[Guest Montreal]

oh and niche, do you guys ship to canada? if so i'm ordering a pair of stan smiths ASAP.

[DJ_Flame]

I wear a medium in american apparel and my AA hoodies are slim-fit and fits me great.

The WESC medium which i picked up is a bit looser, but still looks pretty slim. however its the pullover version, and in my experience pullovers tend to fit looser.

forgot to add I'm 6'0 feet, 165 lbs

The wesc spring 06 line is very nice.

Yeah, the quality of AA seems to have taken a hit recently.

With that said, their clothing still fits better than any other "mainstream" basics company.

[nairb49]

just out of curiosity, what kind of brands are you talking about minya?

stuff like fruit of the loom, hanes etc?

i'm not aware of many others like this, maybe just cause i'm not in the states etc.

i do a lot of business with a screenprinter and have most of my stuff printed on AmApp shirts... the quality is definitely suffering at the moment, as they've grown just ridiculously fast over the last two years and can't really keep up.

fyi, quality and thinness have nothing to do with each other - AmApp's jersey material is made from a higher quality combed cotton, which gives it a softer hand and allows it to be woven more thinly while being just as durable. IMO most of the quality problems with AA are due to the construction, not the fabric itself.

check out alternative apparel for a company doing something similar to AA, but on a much smaller scale. for hoodies and sweats, check continental-usa.com.

my friend forced me to try these on yesterday.

super cheap, but not worth it at all. they felt really cheap and i've seen better washes at the gap. i really see the appeal.

[eutum]

Ive been contemplating if i should pick up some slim-striaght WESC jeans, but i was just wondering if anyone has ever bought them before. How are they and do they fit well? THanks

a friend of mine actually just got a pair from the store in nyc. great lighter weight denim, and the dry is right on. quality is good, price isnt bad (about $140 after tax), and the back pocket detailing is on point. normal i hate it, but wesc did a good job with theirs.

as for fit, the allesandro is real slim, tapered all the way down. a bit of stretch in the denim, so if thats the look your going for, these will definitely fit your needs. the slim fit is a bit more user-friendly. it seems about the same as the allesandro in the thigh, but falls straight past the knee. a good slim fitting jean, not too tight at the proper size, but size down for a tighter fit throughout the seat. all in all, great jeans, and a cool brand. hope i could be of some help.

thank you so much for the info!

im a true 30, like fit fit, but i like my jeans a tiny bit loose, so should i go for a 32 or 31, or should i get a 30 still cause it might stretch. thanks

[350poundhotcakes]

id say go 30...the denim runs true to size, but as it is dry, itll loosen up real fast, especially if you dont plan on washing. if youre gonna wash em frequently, go up to a 31, but id say get a 30 and wear the hell out of em...slimmer is always better than too big.

has anyone seen their "Standard" raw selvedge jeans for spring/summer?

dunno but i bought a pair of wesc standard, raw, half selvage at an outlet for cheap, i got them just to ligga med tjejer on midsommarafton when i'm full like a kastrull, but still, has someone seen them worn in at all? they're alright, 13,5 oz, a nice cut, so i wouldnt mind breaking them in a for a while if its somewhat worth it?

Dont you think you'd get to ligga med tjejer when youre full som en kastrull in jApAnEzE dEnIm? anyway, exposed selvage like on the WESC is horrendous in my book
