picking jeans.

[red]

how do you guys pick what jeans to buy. a year ago there wasnt as many brands getting exposure (fullcount, flathead, eternity, etc.) and you basically either bought european nudie orapc, japanese sugarcane, or american levis.

how do you guys choose which jeans to buy? fit? quality? price? "limitedness"?

and with what ever criteria you choose, what company helped you find what you were looking for?

the reason i ask, is because its about that time of year to get new skin, and with all these new companies out, i dont know what the hell too choose.

This is damn near my problem at this point. I know I want a repro, but there are to may options for me to make a move.

What I would do is to try to figure out what kind of features/details that you want to have on your jeans, e.g natural/synthetic indigo? Baggy/slim fit? A repro/modern cut? Heavy/lightweight denim? button/zip fly? And then make a thread about it in superdenim

"hey guys I'm looking for a pair of slim cut japanese jeans with natural indigo. what is out there?"

And we'll try to help you. The other thing I would do is just to look arund rakuten. here is a few shops that have nice collections of denim

well i know what style im looking for: 47 repro, or something with the same principles. i was just wondering how all these different companies differ.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

well, sugarcane stands out for the sweet sorghum blend, if you like a bit of weirdness/itchiness/sweetness in your repro.

Using chain stitch, your train of jeans is fading wind.

oh really? i thought the blend was only in the hawaiis and okinawas. its in the 47 repros too? i never really could understand the sugarcane website, even when translated by google.

[greentea]

repros arent.

[Chicken]

What other 47 repros are you looking at, Red?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

the Edo Ai and Hawaii in the SC satokibi line are 47 repros, too, FYI.

the sc satokibi Okinawas are Lee 1945 cowboys-----the non-satokibi are 47s.

[obsessis]

there are tons and tons of repros. most of them are good also.

really depends on what you want. you can probably find anything you can think of.
