Fav non-dry?

[Jay-]

If you were to go with a pair of jeans that wasn't raw dry selvage, what would you go for?

I'm just asking this because I love denim, and I love the whole concept of dry denim that you work in yourself, but I'm not quite sure if I'm ready for that...

I've never had a pair of dry denim yet, but my fav. pair of denim are my Deisel Zathans.

[viv1984viv]

you seem to be making loads of threads man, this is a good question though.

Some of the howies jeans are eco ball or hand brushed an leave a nice subtle finish.

I quite like some edwin washes ( didnt they invent the sandwash ??? ).

To be honest I prefer one wash or raw, i dont like the thigh fades being too long or short or the honeycombs sitting over my achilles.

[Jay-]

lol sorry is that a bad thing? I'm just at work, and I'm very bored...plus I like SF alot. If I'm being annoying I will stop promptly

[Dick Danger]

no you won't

[Felix]

check out edwin...imo they have some nice prewashed jeans and should be available at toronto somewhere

check out canice:

she's from toronto too so she might help you out...

[viv1984viv]

yeah, canice's edwins really made me think hard washes could look pretty natural.

Jay- nah, its ok, so long as there are no "Fav Rivets" threads!!!!

edwins get my vote.

[canice]

two thumbs up for those edwins - but they look a lot better than they did new because i wear them every day.

if they made a raw version, i'd wear that cut the rest of my days.

earnest-sewn

i don't remember the name of the model. but they look pretty good for me

[freshtakk]

acne has some nice washes, but i'd have to go with the dior orange overdyes....can't afford them......quite yet

[__3xL]

I love my Loomstates and Earnest Sewn has some pretty decent jeans as well ..

err they are owned by the same parent company - Rogan

[rocker4life]

replay and earnest sewn

[PG2G]

I like some of the 45rpm washes.

[MyMindSpray]

Rogans...without a doubt

[tnf1029]

PG2G, bespoken? they are nice but too pricey.

[kiya]

Either Rogan or Sugarcane.

Rogan always has new and inventive ways of going about releasing hard washed jeans, and also Sugarcane Okinawa Hardwash, hands down the nicest hardwash i've ever seen...

[thelion1856]

i'd go with the sugarcane's washes, saw them and they looked decent.

[PG2G]

PG2G, bespoken? they are nice but too pricey.

Well, there was a umii wash going around that looked nice. Though, some of the sorahiko ones look pretty nice. Not nice enough to buy tho, hehe.

[keri]

do i even have to really say??????

well for those of you who dont know, True Religions, they are pretty.

[kikidark]

I like some of the spellbound washes.

Here's an example of the 45rpm, though they look way cooler in their column than they do in the online stores. Its called their barn finished denim.

They don't look nearly as cool on either the Japanese or American websites though. Perhaps they sell differing levels of distressting?

True religions look good on girls. But otherwise, IMO, are overpriced. And they're pretty gaudy to boot.

I like to rock a select few pairs of Lucky jeans. Some are really nice, if you stay away from the trendy RIPS RIPS AND MORE RIPS styles. They overdo the distressing sometimes

[Denim Phenom]

Diesel Tiiner.

I wore this style for about 2-3 years. I blew out and knees on one pair and just the knees on the other. I really liked the thick waist band at the top.

[Arethusa]

True Religion looks ridiculous on anyone. Lucky is really, really crappy. They charge high end prices for denim that makes the Gap look like Dior. Cuts are nice and the stores are really pleasant to be in, but that doesn't really make their jeans suck less. Diesel just bores me to death.

In terms of pure quality, 5EP is probably doing the best washed denim right now, but their high rise cuts and unforgiving prices have kept me away. So I guess I'd go with Earnest Sewn, because just about all other washed denim looks like crap to me.

I usually buy Luckies for 35 bux, so i figure im getting my money's worth. Interesting washes are hard to come by for luckies.

While everyone is bitching... 7 For All Mankind jeans are complete shit. Uninteresting washes, barely decent cuts, crap construction...

[Arethusa]

You like Lucky and hate on Seven?

[Guest]

I like Lucky, but I don't love them. I recognize that they can look like shit sometimes. And yes, I'm hating on 7FAM.

[cheapmuthafukr]

hmm.... i like the wash on my new rrl bucklebacks... looks like they have been in a mine for the last 80 years. its nice that the denim actually creases where the distressing would make you think it should crease. also, no bad honeycombs.

[darknworn]

I'm a big fan of Rag & Bone right now, particularly the RB6 model. I have a black non-raw pair that is super comfy out of the bag.
