There are like a million threads on this.

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

Gotta be the 1937 redline 201s from the 1996 LVC line. Cone mill red line made at Valencia St DRY DEADSTOCK.

If i could have only one pair , then the choice is clear - the heaviest denim I could find for slow break-in and lonest lasting .

21 oz. Raw Selvage Denim - IronHeart by Works ( with optional Sterling Silver rivets of course )

[Serge d Nimes]

Really? I used to have a pair of those and I didn't like them at all.

[airfrogusmc]

Which ones?

[rnrswitch]

I would have to go with the Jean Shops that I currently have. They are beautiful to look at. They are a nice medium rise fitted basic jean with an all selvedge crotch. Just stunning to look at.

rnrswitch - where did you purchase the Jeans Shop denims ? Any online info avail ?

[rnrswitch]

I bought them from a small boutique style store here in Santa Barbara. I don't think there is any online stores you can get them from. They really are some nice denim. THe hardware could use a little work, but the construction is superb.

APC New Standard

-Quality is more than good enough for me

-Don't have to worry about shrinking them down first

-Plain and simple

-Price is right

-Most importantly, the fit is perfect for me

[chrisbunnington]

tough call but i'd probably go with my imperial dukes.

[Tarmac]

As far as currently produced, probably some middling D'Artisans

[Analyst]

I'd have to go with the regular Jean Shop denim thus far...got them from their NYC store in the Meatpacking District. I've also seen them at Fred Segal in West Hollywood LA.

The 1996 LVC 201's I had were awful. It would be worth the effort to find some jeans by Warehouse Japan.

I have two pair and they're my favorite jeans. The denim is just awesome.

[wild_whiskey]

I couldn't just have one. After a year I'd get so tired of it.

[choice_genes]

I'ma go with Nudie SSDS, but with a slightly tapered leg (don't like the way the true straight cut falls). The denim that Nudie used for these is amazing, breaks in beautifully. Although now that Nudie are so hyped up (at least around here in Melbourne) I'm not so keen on getting another pair.

So maybe some Imperial Dukes (however I've never tried them on coz we can't get them here yet! Dammit!).

authentic immediate post-wwII 501s are at the top of my wish list

[cultpop 0217]

original post war 501's would be my choice for sure.

i would probably just stare at them.

i'm not a mod or a rocker. i'm a mocker.
