PRPS

[__3xL]

All prps tags aren't crinkled - the purple selvage one wash ones weren't - just a leather tag

[sybaritical]

My purple one wash came with a wrinkly tag ....

:confused:

[__3xL]

The leather tag ? or the hangtag ?

[sybaritical]

hang tag.

Some of the leather tags I've seen at retail points have been crispy ... I guess that's why they've stuck a no dry clean tip on their labels.

Actually the only pair of prps' i have are the one wash purple selvedge which i bought from an authorized prps dealer here in las vegas and my tags are crinkled. They had different model's in their store and i noticed that every single one seemed to have a crinkled tag. pony hair, selvedge, etc.

I dont know if anyone else noticed but neimanmarcus.com now sells prps

Not bad, can anyone comment on the new fit?

[aubrgene]

Gorgeous!! I wonder if they are sanforized. The sizes they have available are big.

I really liked the fit of the Slim cut PRPS that I tried on. They didn't feel any larger than say... the Earnest Sewn Fulton. Denim is pretty nice too (haven't tried these of course).

[watchman]

their slim cut is surprisingly nice, i was a big fan. The denim seems nice.

saw the blacks last weekend. they look fucking great. but they smalest size they had was 34 so i don't know anything about the fit

That sounds kinda like the up against the mall where I live. They referred me to the Beverly Hills location for sizes below 34 (or 36, I forget).

Yeah these are actually really nice; I saw them at Blake in Portland. I wear a size 27 so I didn't get to try anything on but kixslf tried them on and they looked good.

I'd be really curious on how these fade.

[dasman989]

it was up againgst the wall in d.c. The balcks are a re black warp and weft with a whtie and i want to say silver selvage line. Again they look amazing. I just emailed cmonwealth and asked for size nfo. will post if i get anything useful.

[will_i_am]

i like the back pockets a lot.

the foldover probably looks

nice after they're beat up.

way too much money though.

[ironXcrayon]

fuckn clean

Thankfully someone else posted about these. I wanted to mention as much, but thought I'd be harangued due to my noobishness. I tried these on in LA. The fit is truly great; slim but not tight, details are good as well, particularly black rivets and snaps on the waistline tabs, as well as colorful interior pocket details. Denim is very nice, smooth and rich blue. I was really impressed. Sadly price was too steep for me since I'm saving for some other denims that take precedence over these.

[drofhiphopology]

man I just bought some BKs too. PRPS seem like they will stretch a lot (my one wash from 05 did, even though I bought them baggy).

[nappyhead jenkins]

whats the weight of the denim

in general i wonder this alot about raw denim lines whats a good rule of thum with brands like this shouls i assume its below 14 oz?

[ringring]

doesn't look too too baggy....I like em...

ringring?

The best PRPS yet? I'm looking forward to getting a closer look.

The black is interesting, in that they have chosen a black-black, rather than the usual black-ecru.

[sybaritical]

They look very nice, but I'd be scared to bust out for another pair given the way my 2005 one wash stretched out. The denim on those is far and away outstanding but the fit is an abomination.

True. We have the raw indigo and raw black starting in sz 30. The fit is pretty similar to my PBJ's. Slim all the way down, low waisted, straight leg with no taper/no flare.

PRPS denim does definitely stretch out alot, and pretty quickly. If you like the cut of these, I would buy them tight and let them stretch.

The fold-over pocket designe is a new addition to the selvage models this season. In season's past, their selvedge models were plain back pockets with hidden rivets. This season it is their signature fold-over pockets with bartacking.

Indigo still features their purple selvage, black is overdyed (warp and weft) and has white/redline selvage. Selvage coinpockets. New pocket bag design is neon pink with prps embroidered into it, visible when looking into the inside of the pants.

[jetfool]

just got the normal blue one in size 32 at the last sample sale in holland, only mine has a red selvedge. If anybody is interested i could post some pictures of the fit...

[sybaritical]

Yes please. I'd like that.

[blm14]

I saw the blacks at a place near my house. They didnt know if it was sanforized.

The black jeans are yarn dyed, not overdyed ie. the warp and weft yarns are both black and then woven to make the denim, rather than piece dyed or garment dyed.

If it was overdyed you the selvedge would be also dyed black - unless they used polyester for the selvedge.

My understand is that the term overdye refers to dyeing fabric either in piece or garment form. I could be wrong of course

[wEstSidE]

they are awesome.

too pricey though.

[percy]

i dont understand why these are considered pricey and yet the equivalent in lots of other japanese brands costs very much the same.

i love the look of the black ones with high contrast stitching and the warp/weft both dyed. i would probably buy these without thinking if i hadnt just got something similar in my nandos, but i may still try to get a pair. people have said that these are likely to stretch but how are prps general sizing? true to fit, big, small?

[sybaritical]

Ummm ....

You buy 'em and they fit.

Then they stretch and they don't.

Size down about 3 inches.

Really.

ringring i think you're right on that one.

overdyed denim also usually fades to the underlying colour, whereas a yarn dye allows for more manipulation eg. keeping the core undyed like in the S5000BK
