Royal Sporting House?

skcusdog - where did you get your PS Red Ears?

My friend got it for me when he was studying in UK......

Didn't really like it.....the denim is too soft and they run really big.......way too huge for me

didn't wany to sell it because it is a gift........

It has been in the closet since early last year....

[evanism]

thanks.. oh come on leather is good when you are wearing denims.. They won't stain those shoes, yea?

really? i always thought that it would still stain leather. thts the reason im not getting a pair of white visvim kiefers. hmm if thts the case, i think i might just go ahead with the white.. heh

[isua]

Yo speaking of shoes, you all should check out this big warehouse sale happening at Joo Seng Rd. Labels carried: Converse, Everlast, Kappa...

Copped 4 pairs myself yesterday.

Its on till 4th Feb I think...

[buzzed]

evanism: Leather DOES get stained... i learnt the hard way T_T

[evanism]

i tried once before and the damn tape was sticking out without me knowing.. so embarrassing.. hah..

[evanism]

haha oh no.. then i think i'll get the black ones.hey btw, the latest dior range doesnt do raw indigo and black? only saw grey. correct me if im wrong

[sweetmofo]

hahahahahaaaa .... ..... they don't know what they're missing ....

S0500XX beautiful? Wait till you lay your hands on them .....

I realised this after spending a fortune (29 pairs : 17 selvedges and 1 fake), stupid me, so, imo :

1. there's nothing more fun than just wear your jeans, 1 pair at a time, feel them, bash them, rock in them, rock with them ..... ;

2. you've got only 2 legs, and living in HOT Sg, so 1 pair at a time, my dear ....;

3. similar to high-thread-count bed sheets, selvedge denims are more comfortable! (this is definitely personal)

4. you're talking about fabrics that are pain-stakingly dyed blue, and if you don't wear them often (like me), they take centuries to fade!!!

So, imo, best is take a look around, buy 3-4 pairs (depending on your wearing frequencies) that are the best in your opinion and that's it (for the moment ). Save the money and spend them wisely elsewhere.

My top 3 (+1):

1. Samurai S0500XX

2. Sugarcane SC40400N

3. Pure Blue Japan XX-003

4. Evisu Lot.2000 No.2

To me, they each features something that make them outstanding. make a guess and see if you agree .....

29 pairs? madness madness

how do you even find space to store them. haha

you must be singapore's king of selvedge denim

oh yes since i only own one pair now i am truly rocking them full time.

despite the heat, i go every where with them.

i really mean EVERYWHERE. work, kopitiams, hawkers, clubs (lots of spilt drinks), shopping, dating, family events.

its my girlfriend. haha

yeah i think owning one pair would help you be more focused on breaking.

but but but its this damn superfuture.

its making me go gaga over so many pairs. haha.

my own target is 2 indigo jeans and one black. (a very optimistic target, and no not 29 pairs. haha)

wah what a top 3. a combination designed to kill.

but my favourite would be the S0500XX i like the slightly tapered look.

but take nothing away from PBJs and Canes.

you are right about one being unique in their own way.

thats the lovely thing about this denim game.

not a evisu fan though =p

[tweeds]

lek's right...3 pairs at any one time is more than enough

one pair worn in (my NS)

one pair kept dark (811) for semi-dressy events

one pair to break in (5010XX)

there we go.

[sweetmofo]

yeah man tweedle.

one definitely needs a pair for dressy events.

no matter how much we love our jeans we cant wear smelly, creased and faded jeans to dressy events. haha

the darkness of 811s are amazing man. its almost black.

i have half my mind on the eternal X bears

anyone knows why my profile picture doesnt show?

[Gnob]

hasnt been reading this threads. nice shoes sub! i didnt come to know of vpost.... i've always tot tt if they dont ship internationally then tts it, no items. but ya.. after browsing this thread... come to know of it. thx guys. ^^

[Gnob]

ya evanism, those classic indigo dh unwashed aka raw,are always made in every season, was told by one fella power seller on ebay. but grey's new some seasons back, i guess.

[Simon4rings]

On a separate note, has anyone ordered from Yahoo Japan and delivered via VPost? The Japanese stuff, especially the shoes/boots are really great. The sellers don't do Paypal, but seems they accept credit cards right?

[lek]

I'm trying to order from Uniqlo Japan ......

[valhalla]

i just picked up a pair of black imperial dukes from the lawn on saturday.

thanks damien!

regarding new cures sizing.

i think the standard APC sizing philosophy still applies!

i went with 26 instead of my usual 25 and it fits big o0

just a headsup fer ppl looking at em.

Hi denim enthusiasts out there,

I am posting here for the 1st times. I have a pair of Edwin 505 selvedge to be altered to my length. I need a good tailor that do Chain Stitching in Singapore. I have not come to know any myself, I would appreciate some local people in the same interest here could recommend one to me.

Oh….Btw, I don’t mind travel up to Malaysia (either JB or KL), if you know of one that can do that in the two cities in M’sia. The worst thing is ruined the denim you loved.

You can also email me. Thanks a lot.

[xviralx]

captmomo u went to front row to try?

[lek]

do you need to cut a lot of fabric off? If not, why not just cuff them? Personally, I don't like the idea of hemming my beloved jeans .....

[CaptMomo]

no,

at home o0

What's up with Singaporeans and their denim infatuation? I was born in Singapore but but grew up in the US. Apparently it's in our blood since none of my friends are denim freaks. Last Saturday the latent denim disease surfaced and I was driven to seek out this forum and start spending ridiculous (in my perspective) amounts of money on jeans.

Oh well, I guess we can't fight genetics! ; )

Anyway, cheers lah! Just wanted to say hi.

[xviralx]

where u buy those cures from?
