levi's premium skinner

[youngluc]

i was recently down at the outlets near me, and i noticed they had a bunch of the levi's premium skinners running around $100usd, would these be selvage? anyone have any experience or knowledge about these?

thanks

no, skinners are pretty low rise (a lot imo) and a hell of a bootcut as well, $100 is close to retail as well, retail is $110-$140 depending on washes and whatnot

Loehmann's here in NY are selling them for a lot less. But smaller sizes. And the rigids (the only ones I tried) run small for Levi's.

if you want to buy a pair of rigids, don't buy according to your waist measurement. measure at a level where you'd usually sag your pants (slightly above the pubic area i guess). my natural waist is a 28, but i'd have to buy a 31 or 32 for skinner premiums since they are low on the hip. i had a rigid 30 a while ago and they did things to my junk that no man would appreciate.

It's not worth the price. I saw some Skinners at the Saks outlet in Jersey Gardens yesterday, while I was impressed by the quality, I wasn't impressed by the price. If they were maybe lower than $100, I'd buy them, but $100 is too close to retail for me.

$100 is a bit much.

I picked up some rigid skinners (that were not selvage) for $50 bucks at American Rag in L.A.

Rise was too low and i'll have to agree with the doing things to the junk that no man would appreciate...

Keep lookin for a lower price.

[youngluc]

awesome thanks

do they sell any selvage denim at the levi's store in nyc?

That's pretty much the reason why I didn't like how they fit. I had to go a size up on a pair when I tried them on and even then they didn't feel/look right. Not to mention the limp I developed from wearing them.

I have some black ones for sale in the market. Not worth $100, IMO. Mine have the tag that says $110 retail still.

[rocker4life]

yeah..not worth the $100 better buy it in a sale rather than to get it at full price

my levi skinners

How long did you wear before 1st wash. I have had mine for 9 months and only cold soaked once... just curious what it takes to make them look that good.

hehe.

[stillill]

i have no idea how long i waited, but im guessing around the 6 month period i washed them in the machine in cold water. i wasnt too happy with the results so i wore them more and washed them in warmer water the next time and the lines and fading were much more pronounced.

[poly800rock]

very nice fading.

[thorough]

are those the rigid ones shown in the pics?

[sexasomniac]

my first pair of raw denim. i picked these up for $35 at the levis outlet about a year ago. the only thing i hate about them as you can see is the "fake" honeycombs that are on these that hit my calves. these things bled like crazy but i love the fading i got out of these and heavy denim.

[jeepster]

i've owned 3 pairs of skinners so far, i'm on my 3rd, but i don't wear them cause they fit me like shit. the first pair i got were dry, which i had no idea of at the time i owned them (this was a good while before i knew about selvedge/raw/dry denim and the whole idea behind it, the fad was only revving up then) so i washed them after about 2 months, butthey fit amazing. 33/34, i wore them for about 3 years straight, nearly every day outside of the summer. the other two i owned were both premiums, but were nowhere nearly as good. i haven't tried any of the capital E versions, i hear they aren't as snug in the thighs as the premium kind, but levi's is catching on with the raw concept a little more (as many know, they did not capitalize on the premium denim when the fade started, so their a bit late in the game), and i'm gonna search out some since i'd really like a nice pair of selvedged skinners. i'm not a fan of my lvc 47's, i wear them maybe once a week.

[allcapitan]

Levi's rigid do run small. It's not because of the low rise either. I've worn some of their other low rise jeans which were not rigid, and they fit pretty much true to size. I would size up. And $100 sounds like a lot.

Those look pretty good stillill. You should put them in the evo thread.

[pokpok]

my skinners cost 10 bux at urbn outfitters..it was on sale

[Sin7]

here are my 2 mnths of nothing..dont even know why im posting em but i love the fit...still ill those are amazing didnt even take a pic of the front cuz no serious whiskers

our patches are different too........well these are my favorite fit of all time!.... i copped every style from the premium skinner line if there are any other low rise boot cuts similar to these please let me know thanks btw i only paid 50 for em

[LIVENUDEGIRLS]

^^I find the bootcut ola to be pretty similar. The top half of my skinner rigids fit me better than any jeans I've ever had. If the rise would have been just slightly longer and the ankles just slightly narrower I would have never taken them off.

[Sin7]

i like a little flare at the bottom
