Raised By Wolves Jeans

Tried these on the other day at OTH and, admittedly, the construction was far superior than what I expected for a jean at that price point. (And the "BY US FUCK YOU" print on the inside pocket bag was a particularly nice touch.) The rise is a bit low to be considered a straight cut, despite it having a particularly straight fit through the thigh down to the ankle. Given that the majority of RBW products are made either in USA or Canada, I was especially disappointed to learn that these jeans were made in China. (Truthfully, it was the only thing holding me back from picking up a pair.) If this isn't an issue, I'd highly recommend these in the stead of brands like Naked and Famous and United Stock Goods whose construction leaves a lot to be desired.

Good info.

I ordered a pair sight unseen the other day. Nice to hear that they're decent. I knew about the lower rise, and that definitely threw me off a bit, but I'm hoping it's not too big of an issue. My biggest concern was that they might have been made by Naked and Famous and just rebranded for RBW. Seems like that isn't the case. How's the quality of the denim itself? Slubby like a lot of Japanese repros, or is it smooth like APC?

As far as where they're made, i guess you get what you pay for. I figured they'd be better than APC, and similar to Uniqlo with perhaps more attention to detail. Yeah, it'd be cool if they were made in America or Japan, but I don't know of any selvedge jeans made in either locale that are less than $200.

I beg to differ, Left Field makes some high quality, 100% American jeans for under $200.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe they have sewn in belt loops and the leather patch looks killer in person. Back pockets are riveted and good stiff, smooth denim similar to APC. The inseam appears to be around 34" so I assume its sanforized or simply meant to be worn as is. They come up small, though. You're in for a heap of trouble if you sized similar to APC. TTS at the very least.

They are sanforized. I got the sizing chart before I ordered. Ended up going one bigger than I normally do.
