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

[twistedtrees]

I'm in the same boat, I don't wear black denim, but have been seeing a lot of people wearing it and it makes me want to get a pair. But I wouldn't suggest spending hundreds of dollars to see if you like it or not.

[mrpenguin354]

Oni Blues or Samurai S0500xx? I've got a pair of Skull 5010xx right now, so I'm looking for something with some slub. I need the longer inseam or else I'd go with PBJs. Such a hard toss up...I've seen the Samurai contest and they all had amazing fades, but Onis seem to have a lot of potential...

Suggestions please?

[tyson31]

oni blues. why?

1. not many people have them.

2. they have a very unique fade.

3. the slub, oh the slub. you will be sitting in class rubbing your thighs.

4. chicks will feel your thighs more too.

5. they have a different look and feel compared to your skulls.

Been waiting on a japanese denim purchase for too long. Blue In Green sale gives me some more options but their stock does not. So..

Samurai s5000VX

or

Eternal 872

Lookin for a full cut non slim jean that fades well.

[tyson31]

^

im not sure either of those are slim, are they?

[beatle]

Exactly ..he's looking for a full cut NON slim...S5000VX all the way..they're never gonna be on sale again...

[tyson31]

thanks beatle for reminding me that i need to read the posts more closely. im an idiot.

[beatle]

LOL..most of the time I don't read things correctly...

[DEPHT]

Sorry, I meant the s0510xx...not the s5000VX.

I know I really can't go wrong with either but...just outta curiosity...is samurai really that great? Everyone I asked seems to recommend the sams over almost any other brand I'm looking at. The streaky denim on the eternals look great but I wonder how well they will fade. On the other hand, the s0510's are 15 oz...I was looking for something a bit heavier.

[beatle]

LOL..yes, they are that great...

If you're looking for heavier and streaky - than Eternal 872 it is...

The one without the hideous selvedge coin pocket.

Studio D'artisan SD-103's or Iron Heart 634S?

[StoneLee]

Which should I choose?

a) Nudie - Even Steven - Dry Blue Black

Nudie - Slim Jim - Dry Japan

c) APC - Rescue - Raw Dry Indigo

d) Lee - 101z - Dry Indigo

Really, I had my heart set on the ESDBB, as I thought I was into the taper, and I think to a certain extent I still am.

But I tried the Lee's on and they had a very nice fit. Also the APCs were nice, but I think would need hemming, as I guess they only come in one leg size.

The Slim Jims I haven't tried on, but they looked like a good selvedge Nudie. What are your opinions?

I do like the darker colour of the ESDBB, is there much else with this kind of color?

Is there a selvedge option that has a taper like the Nudie ES, but perhaps a little less harsh, and maybe a tiny bit straighter in the thigh?

[theetruscan]

Studio D'artisan SD-103's or Iron Heart 634S?

SDAs are supposed to have some beautiful fading denim. Iron Hearts are my favorite cut and nearly invincible. I'd say IHs.

Yea I just got the Flatheads for their fading so I probably will go with the IH's for something different.

Slim Jims aren't selvage. I dont think Even Stevens are either. Go with the Lee's if they fit nicely.

SDA's i think you'll enjoy those more.

[StoneLee]

I know, I was just wondering whether there were any selvedge alternatives. The Lee's did fit well, but I was really trying to stay away from the usual indigo blue colour, and also am unsure of the quality of them. They were the standard dry 101z, what are they supposed to be like quality wise?

[tyson31]

yeah, but ironheart's are heavier denim. but don't worry, i won't pass judgment on you like lamb and assume you will enjoy them more.

[lamb.]

^ he's crazy.

i have no clue, you'd know better since you tried them on and felt them. If you dont want the regular indigo color go with the Even Stevens.

[Contingency Plan]

SDA-103 or Oni Blue?

[benz5521]

SDA-103 or Oni Blue?

I like the 103'a but less people have the Oni's.

[lamb.]

Like he said. I'd go with the Oni's.

I already responded to your post in the Small Questions section but I would suggest you check out PBJ 007s...selvedge, non-traditional indigo look, slim but not skinny fit.

[specialist]

acne max raw OR apc new standards?

[poopslush]

can someone help me out?...

I'm looking for a semi-slim pair of jeans; leg opening around 8 3/4 inches in size 35 or so. Not looking for anything really slubby since I have a pair of Onis and I dont want anything with an anti-fit ass.

Momotaro straight

SDA 103

Samurai S0500

Fullcount 1108

eternal 811

flat head 380

What are some other models like those? out of those what would you reccommend?

thanks

[tyson31]

that's a good list. the only thing i can think of that you may want to add would be the dubbleworks six-sixty. given that list, however, it would be a toss-up between the eternals or samuari's. personally, i would lean more towards the latter just becasue of the unique cotton.

[ichapelle]

Sup yall,

I'm torn between:

ACP NS Raw Blacks &

Nudie Average Joe Black Selvedge

I like both cuts equally as well. The price points are similar. Which denim do you think is of better quality? Which will produce better fading?

The 660s are some seriously mutant jeans. If they fit, great, but man . . .

I'd need to wear the 33 or 32 waist wise, and the 34's are painted on below the waist.
