Raw Neighborhood Denim

[ktouran6923]

Anyone have any info/pics? im sure its high priced any reason? is it high quality or just overpriced because of the tag?

love to hear more cause even though the pre distressed ones look way overdone the color of the fading is very nice.

there were selling for 28000 yen last year. i think the denim was too thin and even though i'm not yet a big denim expert, i thought they didn't compare to other jeans at the same price range so i would definitely say overpriced. never seen some faded one so i can't really comment other than it will most likely look like their regular washed jeans. i like the cut though...

10,406.95 INR!

wow, seems like a bit much

I bought a pair through 2000db (thanks again). They are indeed overpriced but I love mine. The narrow fit is the best fitting jp jean I've tried on; medium low rise, perfect straight leg, cool detailing, great, seasonally-distinct stitching on big back pockets. The denim is great imo; indeed thinner than most jp brands - I think it's a 12 oz... - but nice, soft selvage, low slubbiness, rich, mid-sheen blue.

There aren't many stores in the US that carry them, UNION in LA/NY is the only one that I know of, but there are obviously online stores that will mark up the price about $20-40.

Is the raw Neighborhood denim sanforized?

[jaspar]

I suspect they're unsanforized but tell me how I discern for sure and I'll look for you. It doesn't entirely matter to me, since I have no intention of washing them.

[Ashez]

I'm certainly not a denim expert but I got me a pair of raw denim (rigid basic straight) neighborhood and they are excellent! I luv them!

Don't know what more to say... they are good stuff =)

Edit:spelling

[valhalla]

the earlier seasons of neighborhood jeans are way better than the current. at least those are made in japan. i don't know where the current ones are made though...

anyway i've got a pair of nbhd 05 narrow blacks for sale at supermarket!

shameless plugging i know.

I`ve got some w)taps raw denim. I asked the staff in blackflag if it would shrink when I washed it and they said 2 or 3 inches but when I put it in to warm soak for an hour they hardly shrank at all, which made me think they were sanfordised. My friend has some neighborhood raws and the denim looks a similar weight/quality...wtaps and nbhd are sister coys after all so maybe this info is useful?..

Quick Question: What does the savage mean?

and also: Im getting this pair, and id like confirmation that this is RAW denim right? CLICK HERE

[kiya]

Yes, those are raw..

as a side note..

i can't believe how expensive those jeans are... people must really drop down for Nhbd..

[kolourhero]

Thanks kiya.

I tried them on today, and they are a really good fitting jean.

Is there an alternative with the same fit that anyone could recommend me?

[jaspar]

Does any other SUFU'ian wear, or have they extensively worn Neighborhood raw denim? I've finally started wearing my first pair (one year later) and am wondering what kind of stretching I should expect...

[Cameland]

Expect a lot of stretching. Especially if you wear them low on hip.

i think savage means the distressing effects that neighborhood puts on the denim

(i.e level 1 not as distressed as level 5)

[jaspar]

^ That's exactly right. Savage Level - 4 (which I think is the highest level) is how the seasonal, super-distressed jeans are labeled, like this season's Scab Savages, for example.

Cameland, would you say more/less stretching than average? For example, I think we all can agree that Nudie/APC's stretch more than average.

I think the newer supposed "Savage" effects looks like Jackson Pollock with a sewing machine - a little overpriced and overdone if you ask me. But I suppose you pay for the wash/effects... I prefer Neighborhood narrow Savage level 1 or 2 washes - more subtle, but still has the identifiable Neighborhood signature look.

The regular medium cuts float on me.

I second this. I have a pair of Neighborhood narrows...not so narrow anymore.

In truth though, I feel I've outgrew the hype of Neighborhood denim (mainly due to SuFu). With that price I much rather spend the money towards a pair of Sammies, Ironhearts, Diors, DenimJunkies, or Flatheads.

You'll get the Levi 501 fit with the equivalent number price.

[lovinthee47s]

i think that if you want jeasn that have a "savage" effect you could try looking at japanese levis. I have a pair and I love the wash and fit compared to nhbd's jeans
