Gap Selvege?!?

[eutum]

Has anyone ever had any experience with these? Their online site just got in some Slim fit slevege jeans. Is the indigo in these dark or do they have a washed look?

thanks mang

i will check these out today. looks like there is an no wash, non selvedge slim jean as well, for 58 bucks. the selvedge look to be a one wash, but i will go look at them in person.

look carefully, they had that "raw" jean that

was "selvage" before, when it was just extra material sewn on to look like selvage.

I noticed some girl's jean starting to do the same thing, SFAM did it on a cropped jean.

Banana Republic actually used selvage denim, which impressed me, but the jean was pretty ugly.

[djork]

how about "gstar raw." how moronic to name a line that with no raw denim in it at all.

[HEWSINATOR]

G Star does make Raw Denim, and it may be entirely possible that the name has nothing to do with denim.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

selvedge denim != quality ok?

buy them if you like them, not because of how the outseam looks.

[nairb49]

^^well said, horribly is entirely right about that.

The banana republic selvage, for e.g. wasn't very nice denim.

[azad]

sounds gross.

I got a pair of what I believe to be the last time Gap tried selvage. It was real selvage. The denim wasn't bad, but the cut and indigo looked like shit.

They are true salvage, I was at the Gap in SF and was looking at em.

The quality of Gap jeans has been discussed at length in superdenim.

Far from it. G star's first few collections shipped almost entirely on the strength and novelty of innovative fits cut from raw denim. At that time - before the jeans resurgence, when everyone abandoned jeans in favour of cargo pants - raw denim was a high end curiosity and it gave G star a unique selling point.

While I am aware that they're rapidly expanding their operation, I couldn't tell you what they're up to these days, as their direction isn't to my taste and I haven't looked at their collections in years.

i can confirm this, they are real selvedge, but the wash looks pretty gay. this probably isn't the same thing as on the website, as these were not a slim cut, they were a bootcut or something. they didn't have the one wash or the unwashed, non selvedge version. also the girl's unwashed jeans are fake selvedge, but look ok.

[poly800rock]

yeah, real selvedge, saw the today, straight loose cut it seems.

just curious, when you guys wear/buy women's clothing, do people look at you really weird?

[justbrowsing]

erm, i would look at a dude buying girls jeans/clothing weird...

i've lurked here for a while and i finally had to join after reading this statement. i work for G-Star and i can assure you that it is a denim company offering pratically all its cuts in raw denim. i had to represent....yo.

oh and guys buy girls jeans all the time....and girls even buy guy jeans.

Gap had some very nice and cheap selvage pieces a while back, glad to know they're putting out some new selvage stuff... I think selvage is getting more popular outside of superfuture and japan now... I saw selvage jeans and denim jackets at Zara and some at Club Monoco, they weren't that nice but were selvage nonetheless...

[rome1]

I was in there today and its real selvedge.. They have a jean called the Morrison its slim fit not a terrible cut the colors pretty dark indigo feels like a one wash denim. cheap for selvedge though $98 bucks. The people in the store had know idea what i was looking for when i asked for help.

yah i have a pair of the banana republic selvedge ones, they look great and theyre a real nice cut but the quality just isnt there. the crotch tore open after about a month of wear.

... shut up

they're not half as bad as the assholes that brag about how much they paid for their clothing.

and it really depends. i wont go near the men's section, as the design and fit (for the most part) is beyond horrid.

some of their denim isnt even half bad (quality and/or fit wise). these fit, and look exactly like my unwashed cheap mondays; which translates to EXCELLENT.

i have a pair of these and they are great. if they had a slightly higher rise and a button fly they would be perfect.

[poly800rock]

those are the tightest jeans i have ever seen. have no idea how you could fit into those

[LIVENUDEGIRLS]

... shut up

+1 .

[cultpop 0217]

those are the tightest jeans i have ever seen. have no idea how you could fit into those

2% stretch.

and the butt is actually kinda loose, when im not leaping tall buildings.

[chris]

those look really good on you, cultpop. especially for only $60.

Even better is when they go on sale in 2 months for like $30!

[airflight23]

i saw the morrisons slim fit selvage today,

i thought it was pretty nice, its not raw just one wash like the other guy said

the selvage is very nice

[drift3r]

yeah saw them too... they're ok... not great but they'll be worth checking out when they hit the sales rack. i doubt these will sell well anyways.

[rome1]

You know what will be even better than $30! getting some selvedge at OLD NAVY... That will definately be a new low in my life!!!
