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

[zelah]

j crew, who needs another sweat shirt?

[Bowie!]

DW760 or SC42009 or SC 1947?

[simon626]

Not as much of a this or that but a question still....

Judging from the measurements on the websites,

Would a pair of size 28 301S fit the same as a pair of

size 28 Ande Whall Rakers?

301S

Raker

My female friend tried on a pair of 7301 and really liked the fit but wanted an indigo jean.

[Layne]

Not really a this or that....

But any advice on a quality 100% wool peacoat? Preferably one that's black (or dark navy) and reasonably priced - under $400.

[Forbidden]

Layne, how about this: http://us.asos.com/Mango-HE-by-Mango-Double-Breasted-Military-Wool-Trench-Coat/vjdfz/?iid=1253707&cid=3606&Rf900=1459&Rf-800=-1,234.919&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=2&clr=Black

Should I get the

Naked and Famous 26oz WeirdGuys

http://www.nakedandfamousdenim.com/blog/mega-heavyweight-26oz-selvedge-denim/

or

Some other jeans that weigh more than 15oz? I live in Beijing so it can get pretty cold

[mikecch]

Some other jeans.

For the heavy weight stuff in regular production, check Samurai, Iron Heart, Studio D'Artisan, etc.

[simon626]

Take5 samurai s5000wx or iron heart 634sr?

I dont have any samurais.

Or straight blue jeans.

Just 9301 and 301s

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well it's never wrong to try out more than one brand...but you already know what quality you get from IH (not that Samurai are of lower quality!)

[simon626]

Well im going to hong kong on spring break so i figured id definitely pick up a pair of jeans from there..

[Layne]

I'm building a pair of White's Semi-Dress in black chromexcel... standard heel or block heel?

[SLAB]

if you think you can rock the cuban heel go with standard heel

[HoustonChris]

Yeah, I say standard, too.

[inyourface1]

okay, im pretty much stuck in between two jeans: Samurais S710XX or the Pure Blue Japans XX-011. i was wondering if i could get some opinions on this to help me decide. thanks guys!!

If there are any jeans you had experience with this kinda fit and you reccommend, please let me know as well

[beatle]

I really like the cut of the 11's

[Megatron1505]

I have 2 pairs of PBJ's (although the 005 model) and some 710's. The 710's are my favourite jeans out there, hands down, but when you need to wear something a little lighter and forgiving you cant beat PBJ denim.

Of the 2 choices I would definitely go for the Samurais, the 710 is an amazing piece of denim, and then buy some PBJ's aswell. You should also own some Iron Hearts (BB's 301's or 634's), and some Sugar Canes.....not forgetting some vintage Levis.

Once you have all those you should buy other denim based on personal choice, the jeans that I mention are just the "must haves". ha ha.

[big truck]

yes, dont buy what you were originally after, buy all the same as what megatron has, he's the expert.

I would go for the PBJ 11s. A bit different these days

[reyangelo]

hey guys,

i posted once asking my advice between the pbjs xx005 and the skull5010.

however, i did more research and now im stuck between pbjs 011 and the skulls 5010. any suggestions will be appreciated

[Megatron1505]

I dont own Iron Hearts, Vintage Levis, or Sugar Canes (until tomorrow), and I also did answer his question with my opinion also on the jeans he asked about (based on my personal experience handling and owning the denim).

The rest of my response is what we "normal" people refer to as "humour", you should try it out some time.

Also, telling someone to buy some really expensive jeans because they are "a bit different" is not really much use as an opinion is it? It offers nothing about quality or cut, or any personal experience with the denim they were asking about at all.

Get the skulls

^megatron - sorry, Im not sure I buy that your post was made humourously at all. Like a lot of your posts, you make reference to particular items or product codes wholly out of context to the question/thread/topic. One way of reading that is an attempt by you to convey knowdledge of denim or gain internet peer approval/accpetance or it could be that you just buy or indicate that you want a lot of stuff in a hypebeast kind of way. You might not have iron hearts but you have stated elsewhere that you want some and it appears that it doesnt even matter as to the cut.

I could be way off the mark of course and if I am then I apologise but that is how I read it.

As for the jeans themselves, I assumed that the OP had some basic knowledge of both pairs and me suggesting that he get a particular pair because they are a bit different is entirely valid - look back at the thread and you will see this on many occasions from lots of other posters. We wouldnt all want to look the same would we?. As for saying that a particular type of denim is amazing - pretty unhelpful I think. I would venture that a lot of the Japanese denim that gets talked about on here is of such a standard that it could be regarded as hgh quality. Its the little details of each brand that mark them out from each other. Amazing is a word used very lazily by lots of people. So simply telling the OP that the denim is amazing takes him no further.

Anyway, its Xmas, enjoy your Hawaiis and be merry.

[Megatron1505]

Mate, you think too much about other peoples motives for posting, and draw some very negative and incorrect conclusions.

Try to lighten up a bit in the festive period eh?

Perhaps big truck was simply being 'sarcastic', a form of 'humour'.

[HAZARDkid]

warehouse 660 or fullcount 1108??,

apparently the 660's at BIG wont get restocked until next spring - so its either i wait or get the fullcounts which i think are on the same level - in this case for the fullcounts should i true to size or size down one?

[chambo2008]

sam s5000vx 21oz vs sda 203.... sams will be 50 bucks more

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I have to say it:

S5000VX21oz

[chambo2008]

Cool looking for a more relaxed fit

[beautiful_FrEaK]

is that a special deal on the Samurai? The S5000 can be worn looser...I think both fits aren't that different.

And both brands are great

[chambo2008]

Yep 250shipped nwt gonna be sizing up 1 and a half

[beautiful_FrEaK]

size up wit 21oz isn't that bad as they shrink from tag size.

would the SDA also be deal? or regular price? same seller?

[chambo2008]

Sda would be 200, but a tagged 28 compared to the 31 with the sams
