Post up some pics of your favorite jeans.

Here is my favorite pair. They are Levi's Big E 501 redlines from the late 60's. they are true hippy jeans, look at the drags. Oh yeah, these wear well too! These are the jeans I wear to rockstar parties!

One of the great things about selvage denim is that holes don't really spread like inferior jeans. It is not likely for selvage denim jeans to rip. That is why for such a long time, Levi's had "every garment guarenteed" on their jeans. I don't wear these jeans very often because there is no way they will ever be washed again.

nice denim serge, thanks for sharing the pictures. They have a beautiful fading. You have any idea why selvage could be more resistant to rips? I don't see the reason, appart from them usually being higher quality.

That's indeed a beautiful porn star (all denim are of the female gender icon_smile_big.gif). But for some reasons, the sight of an unfinished hem has always bugged the heck out of me. 9 out of 10.

Serge, how are your john varvatos black jeans fading (i did a search for black jeans and came across it, i m not a psycho). i m thinking of getting a pair and wondering how you like them, quality /fit etc, and they are selvedge right?

The John Varvatos jeans are great. I haven't worn them since I got my A.P.C.s though. I dont think they will fade much. I have tried rubbing some dye out with a towel wet with hot water and didn't remove any. They are made out of selvage denim and are cut very much like APC unisex. They are nice and cheap!

I kinda like the unfinished hem!

Script, I'm digging the selvage jean! It says that it is dryclean only. I wonder if that means it is shrink to fit.

soaked in cold water. as i was covered with indigo dye and

i wouldnt dare to say for mine.

my actual waist is 33" but slip on a 34". [for future's sake] icon_smile_wink.gif

but based on my brother's [a 32"] it seems there's room for gluttony.

about an inch to an inch half and that's after cold soaking them too.

he's complaining now.

why not go try them?

sorry wish i could be more specific.icon_smile_blush.gif

well, I am in California and it looks like they only sell within the uk. can you pick me up a pair and I'll paypal you the money?

Nomasloco, thanks! be careful, selvage denim is addictive!

BTW, look what I bought! after 4 years of wanting a pair I finally have one, but they are too short for me! oh well, they were cheap! [urlhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6761742552&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1</a>

mcjohn: it was a pair of Levi's where the arcuate was fucked up in some really weird way, sorta like the machine slipped 3 inches when doing the arcuate to the left pocket. It was deadstock as nobody back then wanted it and it somehow slipped through quality control. They were Big E and 33x35 and sold for around 25.000$ I think(might have been 250.00$ though)..

Those WareHouse are pretty sweet, I'd still take my new 0-wash versions over those ;)

Sweet! I saw a pair like those Sears ones you have in a lot on ebay last year. Those repro lees look pretty rare, I haven't seen those before. Do you wear the sears ones very often?

Script I am 33 waist and 31+ in the inseam. I like to get a tight jean and stretch into them, so a lot of times I get a 32 and stretch it out.

Cheers, Joel

agree, those sears are nice! and yea, where do you get that repro lees from? are they from their authentic repro line? half-selvedge? i am thinking of getting a pair of lee repro too though i still dont know which one in particular

serge, if you're 33" how did you end up getting that pair of 31" OC-C=C-CO jeans that you showed us last time?
