Very! Interesting find at Macys

[MharcI]

So I went to Macys cause I wanted to get an old school Adidas jumpsuit, and i'm walking by one of those clearance racks when this catches my eye. I never even knew non premium denim companies made dry denim, but I found this. Zoo York "Black Raw" retail price $52, on sale for $40. So I just bought them, I thought why the hell not, let's see what this is all about. There was only one, a 32, i'd prefer a 30 but whatever. I'm interested to see how a non premium pair of drys wears in and looks. Im sorry the pictures could be better : / If anyone has heard of Zoo York raws, do tell.

Don't know muchabout the jeans other than they'll probably wear like any other raw denim if you put the time in. But i do know its a sad day in the skate world when ZOO relies on macy's to make ends meet.

i saw zoo york at century 21 the other day.

[cheep]

damn... i remember having a pair of one wash zoo jeans back in 98... thry lasted forever.

these? ecko unltd with zoo on em.

[Chipper]

Pretty much what Cheep said.

Ecko product with Zoo label. Guess thats not saying much but I hate Ecko. But if youre happy with the fit and everything, break em in MANG!

Tons of skate companies and streetwear companies using selvedge denim nowadays.

this i would expect because they sell off there leftovers, but not direct to macy's... shit i remember when it was near impossible to get your hands on some of their stuff.

i dont get why this is a interesting find lol

i dont get why this is a interesting find lol

Haha, I dunno. Perhaps it isnt, I just found it odd to find a decent fitting raw jean for cheap, especially at a store like Macys.

[Lucas0607]

nice fit IMO

[soundbomber]

The rivets are terrible.

its just a generic basic striaght leg...you can get a basic pair of straight legs at Gap on sale for $10. sure its not raw...but if you're looking for nice fades, why evne bother with Zoo York jeans? im not hating on Zoo York since i don tknow diddly tits about ZOo York denim...but for $40?

waste of $40 in my opinion...but to each his own i guess.

[tweeds]

i don't get the deal with exposed rivets being terrible, does that mean i'm not allowed to wear 1880 cinchbacks now?

fit looks decent, dunno about the denim. most times the only quibble i'd have with the cheaper raw jeans is the denim.

[cmykhustla]

it's pretty common knowledge that Ecko bought Zoo York, so wherever Ecko is sold Zoo York should be right next to it . . . sadly

[rome1]

ugh...don't remind me.

I think I remember seeing a pair of Volcom raw/selvage denim online about 4-5 months ago? Might still be around somwhere.

Would be interesting to see what these look like in 8months. keep us posted.

Of course.

[Schmarker]

My guess is they'll stretch out to something massive if you wear them enough.

[JERM]

pretty decent find

You mean like APCs?

[Ahlvahroe]

so... did anything ever come of this? i want to see how "non-premium" denim fades, but you know without having to do it myself, well maybe in teh future i might.

[brightbill]

Go to a thrift store, look at 501xx's... can be decent to pretty good stuff I think. Not in the same league as jap repros, but, whatever.

macy's also carries Claiborne jeans for men that come in black raw

[nf one]

why is any of this talk about 501s and zooyork interesting? werent stfs and raw h&m sliqs and cheap monday all covered ages ago?

[Thorns]

Also... zoo york has been mall trash for ages now. This is not a revelation.

[salaami]

will probably look decent, given enough time. could of @ least copped some uniqlos for a lil more guap, though.
