My Next Pair Will Be? Skull Vs. Somet/PBJ vs. Oni

[heBAY]

As the current pair of jeans I'm wearing out is reaching a "start anew" point...(I will provide pics of these APC Rescues in about a month)...the idea of my next purchase(s) leads me to question which of these I should throw my money at. Let's say best two out of the four choices...we can group them like this:

Skull S5000xx vs. Somet 003

PBJ XX-003 vs. Oni Red

-The Skull's and Somet's for ease, since they are sanforized, it is like a pair of APC's...rock 'em straight out the box. I've tried on the Skulls and loved the fit. Haven't yet tried on the Somet's, but the lower rise and plain'ness (no branding) are both pretty kosher details.

-The PBJ's and Oni's = slubby. I've heard very good things about the quality of PBJ denim...plus I tried on the xx-003's the same day I tried on the Skulls...I loved the fit as well. Oni's I have yet to try on...but I'm excited to see how they rock.

I will be starting off some Samurai 110xj's...which I love due to the Lee-style fit and 17 oz.'ness...plus the texture ain't half bad neither. I plan on alternating this next purchase with the Sammies.

Think the Oni Blue cut is closer to the XX-003 than the Red is. Red is relaxed, blue would be considered regular. PBJ doesn't make any relaxed cuts.

just wear your sammies... not because i prefer the sammies over anything else (which i do, but i'm biased so i dont consider that a very good argument), but rather just because you're going to end up slowing down the process a lot by wearing more than one pair. since you're moving into real denim, get yourself a good worn in pair to rock and then you can take all the time you want with your other pairs a year or so down the road.

You know there is a stickied thread for this.

Thanks for the responses...

APC isn't real denim? Lol...I know I'm about to get a deluge of SuFu shit in .3 seconds...I'm kidding by the way...I know the Japanese stuff reigns supreme for a plethora of reasons.

I will beat the Sammies to death...no worries about that...but I dunno...the Somets and Skulls are whispering in my ear...and so are the PBJ's and Oni's.

a very valid question, heBAY, but i'm going to have to ask you to take it to the This or That? thread...
