Underrated Denim Brands...?

[Panda-san]

Wow, those are amazing, coldrice. What are they exactly?

[xcoldricex]

farmer's ^^^^^

[poly800rock]

so they have the same back pocket stitching as oni veggie dyed? I'm starting to believe that most of the smaller brands are made from one big brand that kind of mish mash stuff...

[Ahlvahroe]

arent those farmers joint like 5-600 dollars? damn, dude too grown for me, right now. also the bootleggers joints are wild, they surprised the hell outta me when i first saw them like and straight copy, hence the name.

[BrokenGlass]

since I don't read style forum I'll say rag&bone. I have the RB11's and they are my favorite. Kills me every morning when I wake up and see them and put on the contest sams instead. Denim is great, lined pockets hidden riviets, very minimal as far as branding goes (no back pocket stitch except for small rb) brace buttons awesome hardware etc. nothing I dont like about mine. selvage coinpocket etc etc. sofar these are beautifully fading as well at the 6month mark. will be very 3d, not too contrasty in the future

I know I mention this a lot, but as for here, TR are really underrated, they make some tough stuff that is nice quality, the Big T styles have the best denim and the most durable stitching, but are definitely the kinds of things you only want one of.

[poly800rock]

if they didn't have such gigantic back pockets and huge ridiculous boot fit for men's, back in the day, i might have given them a chance....

[tony_hige]

UES, Pherrow's Stormy Blues, and Nylon are in my top three underrated denim brands

...and good luck googling Nylon - just gotta go to Kobe for them...

Sugarcane is more of a faithful repro than SDA's. SDA's are very nice, my 103's are on the backburner due to the contest. I never followed full count, never stood out in my mind, and eternals are very nice, the fades are unmistakable. but they are so bad a sizing in my experience....don't understand the stretch factor on em.

Yeah suger cane sound like such a levi homage, id like some eternals for the fade.

Mind you I see lots of really nice sda103s faded beautifully.

[zer09er]

Errr......How about Big John Rare R-002?

Definitely Anachronorm & Orslow.

[Maynard Friedman]

From what I've seen, I'd call these more under-appreciated than under-rated, if indeed, such a distinction can be made:

- Go West

- Gardener

- Wrangler

[Iron Horse]

I wish Wrangler hadn't have given up on its Blue Bell line from a few years back with made in USA, selvedge, etc.

I guess it never took off, but it feels like with the right people in charge they (and Lee) could do more, and at a better price than LVC. I hope Wrangler makes another go at it because they have a wonderful catalog to dig back into.

[unders]

Oh yeah, all that Bluebell stuff was sweet. I was entrenched in LVC at the time so the boat sailed.

Edit: in fact Aero Leathers still has some.

Edited September 16, 2015 by unders

[Iron Horse]

Yes, I've been tempted by some of the Wrangler pieces on Aero. Might have to look at them again...

[Maynard Friedman]

I bought a pair of Bluebell selvedge (within the felled outseam) Japanese-made Wranglers (I think) from ASOS a few years back but had to send them back because the fit wasn't right (waist too big and thighs too skinny). They were very nice though.

Yes, I have a 101S from Lee Europe; I went up one size to 34 because the legs are so slim. The lady at the Lee shop took in the waist down to 33. The legs on the 34 are still very slim, very tapered.

Totally agree!

For me, it's a thrifted pair of Jean Shop rockers at the moment... 26th February 2010 it says inside, great cut and well-made.  Years of high-end Japanese jeans have made me miss rolled belt loops and pocket edges, and the fabric is maybe a little papery in texture (like I remember Imperials from that period to be).. but I can't find much to fault on these.  Certainly not for $10!  Cut-wise, they've edged out my UES 400T and Sugarcane Hawaiis, which are the pairs I've been wearing most recently.

[edmond]

Fob factory and tcb are underrated brands. Super
