gap has raw, 'authentic japanese', selvedge jeans.

[irbe78]

Lots of big companies are doing selvage now and quoting it as "QUALITY" denim.

found morrisons at the gap for $20, had a $20 gift card so i figured why not. i bought 30x32. I think the fit right now is perfect but i tried rubbing a paper towel on it and the indigo came off pretty easily, and i definitely don't want this stuff to rub off on my shoes/furniture/whatever. i'm thinking of doing a pretty quick cold soak, but how do you think it'll shrink?

I stopped wearing those gap straight selvedge after about 4mos. and 1 wash. I really didn't like the way that they were fading, and I had much better jeans to focus on. They are great though if you can find them cheap.

They will definitely shrink quite a bit. If they shrink to too small a size, I would just wear them dry.

any pics?

[stratossounds]

well, i guess i'll just wear them then. ugh man i wouldn't be able to wear these if they shrank, they put a little too much pressure on my balls when i sit as it is.

I bought some morrissons a few days ago and so far so good. There are not to be compared with premium denim. They are nicer than good society jeans imo. The williamsburg, which is selvedge, is some really crappy feeling denim imo the morrissons are much nicer and cheaper too.

[rome1]

when I go home later on I 'll try and take some, may not be till tomorrow though.

[Pasty]

I'll need to post some pics of my goughs. I've been wearing them for ~11 months everyday (maybe 7-10 day without) and plan on washing them at the year mark.

[Ulic]

I'll post pics of my original morrisons (the ones with angel pattern pockets), whenever i decide to wash them. i bought them oct 2006. and i've worn them maybe 9 months total? I might wash them mid dec. i'm not too hard on my jeans so there's not TOO much fading.

[Supreme91]

so my morrisons could shrink all i have to do it dip them in a bath of cold water?

kwerk :

i have the same pair and the selvage line just feels weird. its not like any other selvage line so i honestly think its just like fake selvage ? still comfy though aint a bad pair

Where do you guys find GAP selvedge for 20$?

and does GAP still sells them? I mean in their current collection? Because i dont see it on their website anymore

when I go to the store they are marked at $90+ CAD

The GAP website is not a good indicator of brick & mortar stock; i.e. the oft-discussed Gap Gough never showed up on the their website. As for getting deals, your best bet is to wait until the January sale.

[selaviso]

ya i always check my gap when i go to the mall they have morrisons but they arent selvage

[poly800rock]

williamsburg are selvedge, they are at select gap for like $90

[selaviso]

oh word. my gap is homo anyways so they probably wont have em.

[HATORI HANZO]

My two yr old has gap selvage jeans that were bought last year for 19.99

[dhalgren]

I believe the bulk of their selvage denim come from a huge japanese mill that also makes denim for some well respected brands on this board. many so far has had a good eye spoting this as a lower price fabric with more open construction and less dye.

i have some of the gap gough, and the fit isn't great. theyre 30x31 but are still way too long. i haven't soaked em yet, which is probably why theyre so long, so i'll give that a try and post some pics. i seriously doubt that theyll shrink to a wearable size even afterwards, but we'll see

Instead of starting a new thread, I searched and found this thread since it's the same topic.

I went to the Gap for fun today to take a look around and maybe check out some winter clothes. Pretty much found nothing til I decided to see if they brought back some selvedge denim again. They did. Low rise straight fit. There are prefaded ones and this pair was probably a one-wash. Not the darkest, but a fairly dark shade of indigo. Denim also wasn't very stiff at all. A lighter denim (moreso around 10oz?) At $98CAD a pair, might or might not be worth it to some...but it's still Gap jeans in the end. Might pick up a pair when they get reduced to $20-30.

Selvedge outseam, exposed selvedge coin pocket. Smallest size I found was a tagged 29, which still fit loose on me (27 in NS, 31.5" true waist). Here are some fit pics I took in the change room.

[whatuknowaboutthat]

these also have hidden rivets which i thought were kinda nice. would like to try these on next time

[dasaylay]

Yeah forgot about the hidden rivets. I also forgot to mention that the hems were not chainstitched.

[Decoy]

I have a pair of 6 month morrisons I am going to post up soon, sad that I wasted this much time on a pair and really pretty unhappy with them, oh well, I learned my lesson the hard way to invest in a worthwhile pair of denim to get serious fades

[JDMFanatic]

yo for like 20-30 this wouldnt be bad... anywhere around san francisco 28x30???

[HermitEdge]

I'm diggin the Slouch fit denim they have. Got one pair that isn't selvedge, but the other Indigo dye colored one may be?

[snuff_daddy]

i'll give those new gaps a run when they go on sale

Same, I had Morrisons that I got for 20 bucks. They fit fine. Fades sucked but they were cool.
