The ugliest Jeans in the world thread.

[Cucoo]

That's spectacular. What is even the purpose of that

[Cold Summer]

Looks like those started out as a regular pair of jeans, and when the owner blew out the knees, he thought, "screw it, I'll just cut off the entire front of both legs and replace them with transparent vinyl from my heavy-duty raincoat."

[Geeman]

No chance of going commando in those

[tvshooter]

can't wait to see how the whiskers turn out.

[xchen]

I'm not sure what's worse; the jeans or the pose...

Apologies for the poor quality it was a sneak shot, the fact it was taken in Shibuya in proximity to some of the best denim stores makes it even more unforgivable 

[Iron Horse]

I love the wallet chain that goes to nowhere, too.

[guthriegking]

^best part for sure

[Iron Horse]

Geeman, were you in Shibuya 109? I went in there with my girl too, and pretended to look at the clothes too.

One of my pet hates, chain from belt loop to belt loop, why?

Well spotted! My daughter was with us and she did 109 top to bottom.

the pointy elf shoes aren't helping either. somewhere in Middle Earth there's a hobbit missing a pair

[Cold Summer]

I'll bet that guy had huge Final Fantasy feather duster hair dyed four different colors, too. These guys are all over Japan, it's amazing how many people there are who appear to be variations of the exact same thing.

You mean like 99% of Sufu or denimbro

Hehe. I'm willing to bet 99% of the members of both forums wear Redwings, not that there's anything wrong with that

[Frost]

^I never even owned a pair.

 

I am the 1%.

Slander; hobbits don't wear shoes.

Red wings... 

[Iron Horse]

Something wrong with Red Wings now?

 

They're pretty popular with guys in Japan. Lots of engineers, moc toes, and postman oxfords selling over there for good reason.

[itsbenhere]

Red wings just never appealed to me... they look cheesy to me, I'm not sure how they looked when they first came around, they're pretty old right?

 

Something like Whites or Wesco or brands like that seem to reflect the idea of heritage quality workwear a lot better to me.

Started in 1905, this was the first boot:

 

 

Irish Setter (877) introduced in 1952, hasn't changed much since then.

 

 

Anyway, personal taste is cool, both Wesco and White's are nice, but RW is a classic in most regards I'd say. Otherwise, I don't think shops like this would exist in Japan:

 

 

Anyway, getting off topic, so here's something to steer things back in the right direction:

Many "beautiful" pairs over at http://www.jeanscheapforsales.com/

 

[Geeman]

Cheap for a  reason. ..

[Iron Horse]

Wait, those jeans all cost more than $100?

[mlwdp]

My eyes!  It burns!

[Cucoo]

Just saw this on Denimio's Instagram feed. I like arcs, but selvedge arcs, that's just... noooooooope.

LOL, Denimio, always giving me douche chills.

Speaking of ugly jeans, Alibaba has turned out to be a treasure trove:

Cucoo, I saw those on my Instagram feed and my first thought was this thread. 

Clearly the wise old denim craftsman sitting atop Mt. Fuji who only works when there's a temperate north-west breeze (or whatever tosh they came up) has too many left over scraps of selvedge.

No lie this is some cool illustration. While I wouldn't be wearing this down the streets, denim fabric itself would make for a great canvas for wall arts.

If you're referring to the 877/875, they started life as an upland bird hunting boot. That means light and meant for a lot of walking, with a tread that preferably doesn't pick up a lot of mud. Guys picked up on them as a work boot later on.

[Cold Summer]

Those Oni selvedge arcuates look pretty strange. Never really got the appeal of this brand, I guess.
