"You want to know a secret? A $12 pair of jeans often comes from the same roll of denim as a $150 designer pair."

someone alert true religion's lawyers!

I'm stuck deciding whether or not i should save up for one pair of really nice jeans (imperial. samurai. ect) or if it would be smarter to wait for a sample sale and get several pairs of "decent" jeans for the same price.

[Repeat]

you will be much happier with the one pair of nice jeans...

...what would you define as 'decent'?

[jazzya]

lgc , tanner, or billykirk for a belt

[Aaron Antone]

something mid range like Nudie, APC, ect

[Hendodo]

jazzya, get the tanner

aaron, get the one pair. quality over quantity ftw

[Biff15]

something mid range like Nudie, APC, ect

...in that case, just bite the bullet and get some flatheads... you'll be glad you did...

I'm looking for a bootcut jean. What jean would be the best bet out these two:

SDA 105 Boot Cut or Iron Heart 461 Boot?

[Flash]

im not realy a big fan of bootcut jeans bul if you want sda i think they do a lht model i think its the 005 or something else , but if you wanted something a little different get some jins .

[kevgio]

hi,

can someone please give me some advice on what size i should get for pure blue's that i was keen on getting?

i was wanting to get the XX-008 denim but was unsure whether to get the raw or one wash and which size to get exactly.

i am currently wearing studio d'artisans SD-103 in size 33 and they are a nice fit. i bought these raw. theyve loosened up a bit still tight around the backside area but i want something as close to this fit as possible without it being baggy or too tight.

now as for sizing i am lost as to which is best and should i get the raw or one wash versions? i like the idea of having the raw denim but dont know if there will be any advantages or not over one wash.

also what will it be like with these for stretch as the SDA's have stretched quite a bit in the leg.

cheers.

Flatheads,PBJs or Imperials? in terms of quality? fading?

[eevoh]

im looking to buy a pair of jeans similar to the apc nc fit

any suggestions?

[jazzya]

Flatheads,PBJs or Imperials? in terms of quality? fading?

get pbj for quality and flatheads for fading

[Biff15]

Flatheads,PBJs or Imperials? in terms of quality? fading?

...I have a pair of PBJ's and a pair of FH's... both are good, but for different reasons... PBJ's (the XX-005, at least) are slubbier... the FH's fade quicker...

[meltingz]

really? pbjs are better than flatheads in quality? How about imperials, no one like these? I love the backpocket design.

I like the color of the Albam version the best, but the details of the EG better. I don't like that cinch back at all.

Maybe EG then?

Leaning towards it. But I also do like EG's cords, I might actually go for that instead. Thanks for the help.

I'm moving to Seattle next week, so I need a jacket. I don't want to be another white dude in a North Face. It's like the uniform up there.

[sarcasticone]

Anyone have any experience with the Sugar Cane type 2 47's? Cut looks good but I'm wondering how lightweight they are.

[ssheat]

I've seen them in person, but don't own them... its a good cut, the denim is quite light at 12oz, but I believe that the tight weave more than makes up for this - the weight won't really be a problem for durability and wear purposes. I don't think that there's been a pair of these posted on here yet, go for them! I certainly don't think that you'll be disappointed.

[sarcasticone]

Yeah, I was really surprised no one has posted them yet. I guess in a few months we'll see them pop up here.
