PRPS Denim?

[Yakboy Equals Nurturer]

I'm looking for info on PRPS jeans...anybody know who makes them? Where the denim is made?

Also, I've only seen them in short sizes (31"/32" inseam). Am I missing the pick of the stock or do they tend to do shorter cuts?

Any info would be much appreciated...

[Yakboy Equals Nurturer]

Kind of answered part of my question with a few Google searches. It seems they're made by Akademiks, which I found kind of surprising.

Wonder if it's US denim though?

Thanks for the info...took a close look at a pair the other day and they are very nicely made. Great detailing, etc.

Shame the cut is so short...

hi,

i came across PRPS jeans at Union on Spring St. and i was blown away. they were beautiful and the attention to detail was amazing. where else in NYC can i find them? do they have a website (i couldn't find any contact info on the web)? do they come in straight leg...i'm not too keen on baggy jeans? very, very expensive though.

thanks,

Fisuat

Nom De Guerre had some earlier in the year, but I don't know if they have any of the current batch in. I was surprised to see how much the price had gone up in Union.

[hahnstch]

you can check atrium as well, just opposite nom de guerre. the price is about the same as what you find at union. but i thought the detailing is a little to extraneous... i dont know, maybe it's just me

[BoardC3]

I was in Nom a few days ago and they had a pair or two of PRPS jeans in there, i dont remember the price of them tho

[hahnstch]

you can actually get PRPS at SoHo's Bloomingdale's as well... Btw for rogan lovers, check out this store at 616 E 9 St. They have a good selection of Rogan, surface2air and kenzo minami..

yeah i checked out some prps shit last weekend, at Union and Atrium. When u find out its by AkD, it kind of makes sense, but u wouldnt def be able to say "yo thats Akd son". They have some sweats and tees too, one shirt is a rip off of school house rock-- it says "school house glock".

the jeans are mad processed, pretty thick too, like workwear 2 the max. They look pretty dope, but the hems at the bottom are like an inch thick, which is kind of whack, i think, and only makes them look more like a pair of beat up carhartts. maybe thats the idea tho.

its funny i was looking at some cat wearing abercrombie jeans today, and not to talk more shit on abercrombie, but its fucking funny, bc they make u look like u are wearing a diaper or like u are wearing overalls. so get prps instead,b.

ssshh but there were some PRPS at the Loehmanns. Maybe you're too cool to shop there, but if you don't want to buy at rape $$....

I purchased a pair of PRPS at Bloomingdales SoHo about 3wks ago (9/08) and paid $198+ tax. I went back on 9/29 to check for other style/washes and the same jeans I purchased was now selling for $330! Either I got over, or they had a huge price increase. If you go, have them check the price. The price tag was the type they put on when they lose the original tag.

I like the jeans; heavy stiff denim with heavy duty rivets, a basic cut (reminds me of my Levis Hesher and 501 Premium jeans) and cool bottons on the fly. It's not like the other styles I have seen from PRPS; more basic. They fit like a mans jeans not like Paper and 7's with the slim at the knees and super wide at the bottom. That to me looks hot on women not on me. I've seen it on other cats and it seems to work for them, not for me.

For those of us on the west coast, I found prps jeans at Fred Seagal on Melrose. This was during their one year sale, and I managed to get them for about 20 bucks, they were originally $330. THe sales rock !

[abmar9]

I went to all PRPS shops that is available in London.

Selfridges, oxford street

Concrete, Canarby Street

Harvey Nichols, Knightbridge

Liberty, regent Street

Duffer and St.George, Covent garden

Does anyone know anywhere else that I can find out DARK DENIM DIRTY JEAN, BOOT CUT and W28-30 L30? I do really want to buy it very much. If anyone can get it, please tell me I will buy it in reasonable price or if anyone wants picture I will send to you. There is only one pair in Concrete, Carnarby street but the waist is 36. It is too big for me and the rest of the shops are available only normal style and straight leg.

Can anyone help me I will pay in good price?

Fan of Prps

[abmar9]

It is 250 pounds if anyone is interested in this RAREST JEAN please email me.

Thanks

akademics owns prps but it is designed by a japanese guy who lives in nyc. him and his wife used to work for 45rpm. all the product is made 100% in japan from japanese fabrics.

the black selvedge prps is $100 off now.

[stamped]

we (silo) carry the entire range, but they generally sell out fairly quick in the good sizes, and we arent allowed to sell them over the internet. 185-440.00 depending on the wash/style.

that said, if anyone from here ever needs a pair we can always do a phone order, but id def. try to find a local place to at least try a pair or two on...

this may help those of you who are asking about sizing-
