Not the ugliest but I expect better for £800:

Also, I know they're hand-sewn but that is a very shoddy hem-job.

That's the dumbest price I've ever seen for a pair of jeans.  Those look like absolute shit.  The back pocket stitching is horrendous, the belt loops look they're about to fall out, and even the slightest pressure is going to bust out the hems.  Everything looks ridiculously sloppy and shoddy, like they're about to rip in half at any second.  Beyond that, those random selvedges are a terrible idea.  I'd imagine that most purveyors of high quality repro denim want the details to be subtle.  Who would actually want that?  Spending a lot of time crafting something doesn't make it "good".

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner for the "Official Ugliest Pair of Jeans in the World", congrats LVC.  You faced a tough crowd, but you were able to come up with the perfect combination of vintage and tacky to create the champion.

this could be the first time LVC beat warehouse in the repro game, taking the "banner denim" revival to its logical conclusion!

So what purpose does selvage serve inside a pair of jeans

 

I realize you were probably mostly joking, but, it alleviates the need to finish or tape the edges of the pattern that it's utilized for, which is an advantage in production, and depending on the placement, can also result in a cleaner, less bulky seam/fold.

It also looks dope. This is lame, but I probably wouldn't buy a pair of selvedge jeans unless it was visible on the inside... I guess it's ok if it's a felled seam, but I'm not sure why your do that.

those 'banner' jeans piss me off because Levi's could have sold a repro Levis banner, but instead chose to offer ugly, un-wearable jeans made from them.

I know, and yes I was joking ;)

I see it the same way, I need my jeans long enough to turn them up so I can see it ;)

Not sure if you should wear shorts or jeans today, but don't want to put on jorts? Don't worry, Dolce and Gabana have got you covered:

first i saw half a pic and thought they look fine, but then i scrolled down and saw another half and it hurts my head i ever thought they looked fine.

It's almost like someone thought adult diapers made out of denim would be a good look.

I saw a post on another site about the person's impressions of the jeans (where the fit pic came from) and I just wonder why anyone would think these look good.

There's another pair they posted too that are more "traditional" but still would belong in this thread.

I wish there were some things you could unsee !
