Victor Jeans from the Philippines

[jubei]

Anybody here have jeans done by Victor in the Philippines? I heard about him from my gf a few years ago and I was thinking of getting something done by him when I go this winter... Opinions, thoughts?

are his jeans well-made?i have heard from my friends from the philippines that they have an excellent fit and denim but quite pricey and upscale in the phllippines

your friends in manila haven't heard of japanese premium denim. he visited this forum looking for a selvage denim supplier.

I was hoping to commission a pair of raw jeans with some of my fave details when I got there... and from what I've heard, he charged about P5000 ( though I'm sure this price changes depending on details, wash, etc.), which ain't too bad in my book.

That would be sweet if he had selvage denim though.

Any LVC in the PI?? or other japanese selvedge denim.

jubei - sounds like a good deal to me. the coverage for his jeans has certainly been favourable, and he does offer that personalised customisation. do it for the superfuture good

[bluespring]

not feeling it... just hype...

[jubei]

hmmmm... just did a google search and it looks like he just opened a store at podium. I thought he was only doing custom stuff. To be honest, the denim snob in me just got a little turned off.

But you know what, it's supporting a Filipino designer, so what the hell I'll check it out anyway this winter.

Hey maybe john11f or other SF'ers in Manila can check it out? I know that Podium is a fairly central location in Manila...

Hey, I'm actually flying to manilla on saturday, and my friend suggested I go check Viktor jeans. So I'll scope it out for you guys whenever I can.

My girlfriend was telling me about this jeans place out there that custom makes them for you for about $80 US. I'm assuming Victor's is what she was talking about.

[greentea]

iight, let us know.

[bluespring]

every f***ing celebrity there owns a pair of those jeans already

im not really fond of custom jeans but you might as well try it

[john11f]

^^^I was trying to get this across...bluespring, right smack. Manila is a small place. the "hip" is supposed to know that someone is making custom made jeans. And they feel and think they're ahead of the curve but they're not. You wouldn't want to be associated with this crowd. Selvage has barely hit Manila.

Since when do celebrities get to decide what is the next big thing? That's superfuture's job!

maybe for those Filipino Sf'ers like me(exchange student for a year)in the states may bring dry denim/selvedge to the phils...i'm going back there in 2 months to finish the ex. student program..and i plan to share the knowledge to my friends there...just to let you know,there is selvedge back there,people just dont know where to find it...i remember i bought a levi's 514 in dry at the levisstore there just before i left for the states a good year and a half ago and it has served me well
