You can get a pair at Barney's Co-op. There is one west side (18th b/w 7th and 8th i believe), or on the 6th floor at the Barneys department store uptown. I think Barneys is having a sale right now, so you might be able to find them at a reduced price.

265? Which model were they, the Veggie indigo?

[sway]

Nope, that's for the dry selvage RR. I know cuz I called them about it last week... talk about price gouging....

[darknworn]

volls.de has RR selvage for EUR159 + 22 to ship to the US, which work out to be about USD 220. they also have some other styles as well. in the outlet shop, there're some limited sizes of nudies for sale at really good prices.

if you can wait til aug, their US online distro is supposed to be open by then and they *say* they will be selling them more competitively priced to the european prices (which are less than here)

But then if you wait that long, everyone will have them and they won't be "cool" anymore. I'm kinda kidding, but I'm kinda not.

hi,

I spoke to the nudie distributor

new prices for the jeans are set at $265 for the nudie dry selvage.

the previous price or cheaper ones you may see for at famousfriends or steven alan $220ish is because they are 2004 season jeans, the 2005 season, that means they sold all the 2004, and had to buy the 2005, the prices for suggested retail are $265, they must follow the pricing schem nudie gives them, that's why they sell for this much (an increase).

famous friends had them for sale $190 couple weeks ago, but I'm sure they realize the new price is $265 so they are selling them for cheaper.

even though they are the same jeans, different batch, the price has inflated, so ...get them while u can i guess.

DenimBar1, is your store in Fred Segal? I can't recall, I thought there was a store called Denim Bar last time I was there.

[TrappedInDC]

For those of you wondering about the Denim Bar... there was an article in the Washington Post shortly after they reopened. He's probably not going to toot his own horn. But I got such great service and advice there, I figured I'd let the Superfuture readers in on the secret.

*Trapped*

From the Washington Post online --> http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?node=entertainment/profile&id=1111488&typeId=8&type=keyword

He's baaaack. After a five-year hiatus from being the chief honcho of his own retail operation, Mauro Farinelli has returned to doing what he does best -- selling clothes, schmoozing with customers and postulating on the latest fashion trends. At the end of April, he opened a destination for jeans connoisseurs, the Denim Bar on South Joyce Street in Pentagon Row in Arlington.

Some may remember him from his first eponymously named foray into retail. The Old Town Alexandria-based Farinelli's, which opened in 1997 and closed in 2000, was a small, hip-looking shop with a big agenda and lots of appealing women's fashions from the then-not-so-well-known names of Trina Turk, Cynthia Rowley, Tocca, Kors, Theory and Urchin, as well as some more outre (and expensive) pieces from Vivienne Westwood and Chloe. And a lotta jeans. Farinelli reminds, "I was the first one to carry Earl jeans."

The store catered to a mostly young clientele of women starved for looks and names they couldn't find elsewhere. It certainly didn't hurt that Farinelli knew his merchandise and could quickly tell style and sizes most appropriate for every client. But after a couple of years, he got restless, his eye on the big time -- Georgetown, more specifically, Cady's Alley. The lease elapsed on the King Street shop and he prepared to make the move, but says he got cold feet when he realized he'd be the only tenant in a mostly unfinished space. "I couldn't see my stiletto-clad customers walking through a construction site to get to me."

His next stint was at Saks Fifth Avenue in Tysons Corner as the store's "jeans specialist." According to a frequent customer, Georgette Young, an AOL account executive, the curly-haired 32-year-old Farinelli not only sold jeans, but also style. "He encouraged me to buy a yellow peasant skirt that I thought at the time was a little way out. But the next thing I know I'm wearing the hottest thing around."

Farinelli's now betting heavily on denim. (For the record, he also carries knits by Fred Perry, girly outfits from Rebecca Taylor and Rosasen golf clothes -- "everything from preppy to punky edgy.") Why a jeans store? "Jeans are like the housing market," comments the confident new store owner. Uh-oh, are they in for a bust? Not according to Farinelli, who believes they're still trending up.

"Last year, the market for jeans from Wal-Mart to the most exclusive niche name was $12.3 billion. Go to any event here in D.C., any hip restaurant, and you'll see people wearing high-end jeans. The point is you can dress them up or down, express your personal style."

Farinelli sells what he calls "staples" -- Seven and Citizens of Humanity -- which retail in the $100 range, but since customers can buy these brands in almost any local shop or department store, he's targeting the customer who wants the exclusivity and status that come with a pair, say, made from salvaged denim and double indigo-dyed. These rarefied jeans from such unhousehold names as Blue Blood, Prps or Rock and Republic can cost anywhere from $200 to $300 and up to $635 for a special-edition men's pair from Japanese company Evisu.

Features like real brass buttons, reinforced pockets, signs of wear that won't wear off, the use of vintage looms once owned by Levis, camo lining and hand-painted designs (like the gull on the back pockets of Evisu jeans) are supposed to justify the cost. Farinelli points out that Japanese-made Nudie jeans are not supposed to be

I've read that article before... very cool.

[Guest DenimBar1]

Thanks who ever you are "trapped in DC"

I heard that this forum had a lot of denim deisgners if that's true and your goods are really great I would love for them to be in my store. If I already don't carry them.

do you know if they carry the nudie dry loose frank jean? If so, what's the appx. price?

Also, does anybody know a site where I can order nudie online and shipped to U.S.?

I was just at the Denim Bar in VA and I will let ya'll know that it's a great store. The selection is on point, the owner is enthusiastic and so helpful. Really nice vibe to the whole thing. And there is nothing like it in the area. He has everything all ya'll would want. As well as stuff for the masses. He get's both points of view and is so chill about the whole thing.

Serisouly, if you want something, call the store and just get it there. If he does orders that way it would be a great way to support his business.

And he knows exactly who I am as he is reading this and he for sure not going to say anything RIGHT?

XOXO

Thanks everyone for the props. I know when I go into a store I just want to make sure I feel comfortable and the staff is on point and tries not to just sell you something.

No e-commerce yet. I do do phone oreders as well as e-mail orders but I know some people aren't comfortable with that.

So if you are in DC come and have a drink on me at the bar.
