banana republic selvage

[majikero]

(i've searched and found no thread that contains what i'm gonna ask)

I'm contemplating on buying some one-wash pair of them coz they're the only cheap(16USD) ones i can find here. but from reading the reviews, im in a dillema if i'll buy them ofrnot.

i've read from a couple of threads that some of you own a banana republic selvage denim jeans.. i just want to ask how does BR selvage jeans fade? any pics of a worn out pair? would really appreciate it if some SF'ers will post some pics.

well if they're a one wash pair of jeans it's going to take longer to get them to fade, so that's one thing. but $16 for selvage is pretty good, and it's not like BR is a shitty clothing company. I wouldn't say get them for the wear-in value, but get them because they'll be a fine pair of jeans.

I guess the only advice I can give you is to the quality of Banana republic clothng. I have had many shirts and pants from them and they always fit very nice, drape well, hold their shape well and have very good durability. I would say that you will never have quality issues with Banana Republic in my opinion.

am i reading this right?

banana republic is selling jeans that they're claiming are selvedge for 16 dollars?

[LetsGetSerious]

he must have meant $160.

the only thing that i have ever seen under $20 at BR are tshirts...

Rarely you will see an item like this on sale for a price like that, rarely.

Gap in the other hand. I regularly get 99 (or 5-7 bucks) cent polo's and T's, and $20 dress pants.

nope. i really meant $16. its 850PHP here in the Philippines. but all of its tags are removed. but you can clearly see that the brand is banana republic. it says on the buttons and rivets

i have not seen the jeans so i cannot really comment on the quality and such. thing is, you gonna wear these jeans for a couple months in order to get a nice fade, etc. while the jeans may be cheap, 8 months of your life is not and you will most likely regret spending all that time on a pair of jeans that might not be worth it, might not hold etc. try to save for a while for a better pair, it'll be worth it.
