THIS OR THAT? (Use me for all your Should I Buy...? questions)

[THEW<A>]

Anyone have any good experience with black denim that can recommend a pair w/ a straight leg to slightly slim fit. I'm mostly looking for something w/ some good fade potential.

[exhausted]

Hello,

I currently own a pair of sam s5000vx (2.5 months) and s5000bk (still unsoaked).

I am thinking of in getting a pair of s5000cx in a size up (looking for a looser fit). What do you think, or should I get another pair of blue jeans.

Current s5000vx fit:

P.S. I got thunder calves...

In general, Samurai, Flathead, and maybe to a lesser extent PBJ black jeans have demonstrated reliably awesome fading. The FH 4001BK, Samurai S710BK and S5000BK, and PBJ 005-BK all inhabit the realm of straight to slightly slim fit, and give you a decent range of weights and denim types to choose from.

I'm a bit broke right now so the cheap mondays are looking mighty fine for my wallet but at the same time I don't know....The other two fits are nice.

definitely the gt's

[rice rocket]

Anything that fits similar to PBJ xx-005's, but isn't made from their super-slubby denim?

pbj 008

done.

[Biff15]

samurai 710s or skull 5010 6x6?

it would be close, but i'd go with the sammies...

[rice rocket]

pbj 008

done.

I heard they were supposed to be a non-slubby replacement, but the numbers that BiG have between the two are pretty different though (sampled at the size 30):

Front rise: +0.25

Back rise: -0.25

Thigh: -0.5

Knee: -0.25

Hem: -0.25

Inseam: +1.25

[midnight]

The 008's run like a size smaller though, so its closer i think once you go by that. That being said, yes, they are not exactly the same. Theyre very similar though and i doubt youll find jean that fits more like it.

[rice rocket]

Ah, good to know. Thanks.

[tombster]

Can anyone recommend me a pair of raw denims with a fit similar to the edwin nashville for a similar price? Or should I just get a pair of Nashville, I have heard mixed reviews.

[brandonmayo]

i was wondering what you all thought about the kmw 1950s , kmw 1980s and the flathead 3005 . fades, construction durablility, and all around appeal , i cant get a chance to see them in person and i was hoping to get some info from someone who in the know before i buy one of em

[Leonard Leroy]

If you want fades, cross out the KMWs immediately. However, they have everything else in droves.

Flatheads are known for their fades. Both brands put out solid products. KMWs are also sanfordized and true to size which is less fussy than shrink to fit jeans.

[nate1492]

Don't know about Flatheads, but I love my KMW. I've only had mine for a month but I've seen some around here with great fades. Check out the KMW thread. And a specific word of advice: the denim is very soft and is unstarched, so you need to starch em or get em a little wet and do some squats and wear em dry to set the creases.

Edwin makes a good jean, you should buy them.

[photobooth]

In terms of construction/durability would Ande Whall or KMW be a better choice?

[brandonmayo]

well im not just after the fades i do want the jeans to last as long as $200+ jeans should but i was also wondering about the fit on the 1980s, checking to see how skinny it was because some store pics look really slim while others have it as a little bit looser.

[Logikal Retro]

For a little more room + ability to sag:

I'm pretty sure they'll stretch a little so, S710 true to sz. or sz. up 1?

[salinger]

should i buy the b.son mock pullover hoodie on self edge...or resist and wait for corpus' fall collection to complete my sweaters?

i don't know if that hoodie is really that versatile.

[nobertxrolley]

iron heart 21oz

skulls 6x6

[tmadd]

iron heart 21oz
