ahaha i think its a pretty hard one

its like choosing between a rock and a hard place =p

[jubei]

whichever one is cheaper... those two jeans aren't really "investment" jeans the wasy that other Japanese denim is, so don't sink too much money into them

[sunkenshoes]

I've been into raw denim for a while now and I'm enjoying it more and more. Now I've never had a pair of Japanese denim, but I got some cash to burn and I'm looking for a pair. Now the thing is, I'm looking for something slim/skinny; something like apc (new)cure's and the denim itself needs to be dark. Could someone suggest me a brand or model?

[rome1]

Somet slim jean 008 you don't really see it that much and the denim is really nice. Or perhaps some Skulls 5010's both are really nice choices. It really depends on wheter your looking for a slubby jean or not.

[mackelface]

I really need a new pair of jeans but I don't want the really sheeny raw look, or even the really slubby raw look. I'd like a lighter wash, something very different than my sammies in color but not in construction. What are my options?

[sunkenshoes]

Aight, thanks Rome1. I'll look into those.

Lighter was or lighter raw denim ?

If you want light and raw - natural indigo / AI denim - would work perfectly..not shiny, not slubby...

[hype_killz]

okay looking for my next pair of jeans. currently rockin LVC 47, what is a good pair of raws that are maybe a bit more loose than a 47' fit but would look good when worn low like mid-ass

[sarcastic]

hey everyone, im looking for some denim near $150.

im thinking of either Nudie Slim Jims or Even Steven Organics. maybe even APC NS.

just something that is slim fit/regular and not too tight. im really skinny if that helps.

anyone want to help me out?

edit: im open to suggestions of other jeans.

Out of those...APC.

[AdamJaz]

If I get a new pair, what brand should I go with?

:

APC/KMS/Japanese Brand/Obscure Japanese Brand

[rome1]

If you don't have any Japanese brands go there the denim is excellent and you won't regret the choice.

More info please. What are you currently wearing? What cut are you looking for? Lightweight or heavyweight denim? What colour? etc.

[AdamJaz]

Any suggestions for a good first pair of Japanese denim?

[rome1]

Samurai... period.

[sarcastic]

Out of those...APC.

Hmmm... If I may ask, why would you chose APC?

Better cut...better denim.

Currently my denim collection consists of Nudie Slim Jim Organics, which I wear most days. I also have some 501s that get tossed in.

I live in Arizona, and I like to wear jeans in August, September, October, March, and April... so probably light weight. (Light weight fades faster, too, right?)

I'd like just a straight up dark indigo color.

Maybe the new PBJ's (xx-008 I believe). 13.5 oz. denim, slim cut.

As Rome said, you can't go wrong with Samurai, but most are 17 oz. denim...unless you can track down the 0500 or 0505.

Take a look at www.blueingreensoho.com for more info.

[AdamJaz]

Looks a little too lightblue... hmmm... do 17 oz. jeans feel much hotter than 13, 14 oz. jeans?

The PBJ's look too light? They're not AS dark as some others, but they're still dark.

Depends on the jean...some 17oz. jeans have a looser weave, which makes them feel a bit lighter (same goes for some lighter jeans, like Sugarcane Okinawa...which feel way heavier than they are).

edit - more lightweight denim - Fullcount 1108's; warehouse 1000xx

Light and raw would be good, I'm just tired of always wearing really dark denim all the time. Even grey would be fine. What companies make a lighter color raw jean?

Look at Skull...they makes lots of colours (grey, white, etc.)

[ExileOnMainSt]

ive always wanted to buy a pair of these as a lighter coloured denim to wear like khakis, samurai did something like this too that looked really sharp for a light coloured denim (s5000cx?)

[gimmegimme]

^^ I agree. The Samurai's are called S5000cx and are sulphur dyed. Apparently the pictures don't give an accurate representation of the colour (some photos look grey), but they look beautiful.

Look into some of the greycast jeans from Nudie. Also the ED47 in "concrete" starts as a lighter raw and fades into a nice light blue (pretty quickly, too... it's a good short term project)

As far as Japanese brands go, look at PBJ xx008 and xx006... both made with their "lighter" raw denim, (depends on what lighting you're in. the pics on BiG's site are accurate representations of the jeans in daylight).

Grey are also a great option. If you don't really have a budget, may I reccommend Nom de Guerre's selection of grey jeans (both light and dark), Skull's grey 5010. APC and Nudie have cheaper alternatives and cheap monday probably has something around the 60 (or less on sale!) range. Uniqlo, too.
