The Evolution of Jeans: Pictures, Scones and Tea

[Interceptor]

APC's are so easy to fade. It's time to move onto something a bit more challenging.

..and expensive. Aside from these APCs every once in a while, I haven't really been wearing "real" denim these days.

I'll pass on Dior. Might get a custom pair made at this place called Sydney's (Toronto heads know the deal).

[gimmegimme]

expensive? :confused:

[Dex_star]

yes they are expensive... most people dont spend much more than $40 on denim

i guess for our standards theyre cheap tho

and inteceptor... keep at it with those APCs... they look like they got A LOT of life left in them

[Interceptor]

for a new project that is.

I'm ballin on a budget yo.

[gimmegimme]

I'm pretty sure that custom pair will be pricier though, no?

[Interceptor]

Probably. Sydney just acquired some ill shit from Osaka.

In general when buying something $$, you shop around right? I'll take my time in finding something worthwhile. I'm not much of a denimhead, and Toronto doesn't have a lot to offer. Everything is also priced at a premium (APC new cures for 200+ at Nomad..you kidding me?).

True indeed..you need to order to get a fair price. Unless you're looking for Sugarcane...that's cheaper here.

Now would be the time to do it, baller exchange rate

edit: on another note when are we gonna see some saddle fades from the guy with the horse?

[skiniks]

I'm considering getting a pair done from sydney as well. look around his shop a bit he has a lot of nice stuff that he's done.

jim, the bad news looms for sydney. he might not be getting the sexyslubby salmon selvage. buuut he's going to nyc to see his indigo dealer this week, so we'll see. if anything the other starchy j-selvage is not a bad place to settle either.

[HEWSINATOR]

Where is SC cheap? What price?

May need to do some inter-Canada ordering.

[lilldavid]

Eternal x Bear's at almost one year. Washed at least 5 times.

a bit late on these ones but arent they oh so pretty?

[HEWSINATOR]

I am so happy I got to see these again...I just can not get enough of them.

We should see how many times we can quote the pic. I bet we can get like, 100 on a page.

[Golgotha AD]

APC NS: Beat to hell in about 5 months and 500 miles on the bike saddle. One wash at 3 months, one hand wash at 4 months... they're currently begging for another machine wash.

Both my pairs of APC NS's have crotch rips, the other pair are a lost cause, but this pair I managed to save with some black fabric and a horrible stitching job. I've seen some pretty tidy repair work on other people's jeans, any words of advice? Can any old dry-cleaner patch me up, or should I try to hunt down someone a little more specialized?

[subarashii_kudamono]

it would cost about 4-5 bones to get a pair custom made by syd. isnt that how much a pair of japanese diors retail? i would rather get em custom. if you are ever in to. head to sydneys. he makes shirts pants and suits too. on top of the nice selection of ny and euro labels he carries.

I'm sure he makes beautiful jeans that fit perfectly..but for $500/ballpark, I'd be willing to throw in a bit extra for Jomons, or at least Sam AI's.

What waist/inseam are you? I'm sure we can find you a pair of sam's that fit.

[edmond]

gimme could help measure the waist and the inseam...

[subarashii_kudamono]

Geisha's?

[subarashii_kudamono]

Geisha's?

actually would rather have slings&stones

abcdef

where could i cop em?

[edmond]

i could help you..

[zelah]

i could help you..

o_o

also i've never seen geishas worn

[gimmegimme]

Do you want to see them worn on a guy or a girl?

[subarashii_kudamono]

i've seen them on a girl. selvage denim is never flattering on a lady's curves but that is not the priority here. that said, i am plagued by what fit to get if i get the custom pair. it will be made from a heavy slubby raw selvage.

should i try for a fitted look or just do a boyish anti-fit?

[edmond]

anyway you want thembaby anyway you want them...

[skiniks]

subarashii_kudamono, last time i checked sydney charged $300 for customs. shit i'm gonna have to call and see if he's in tommorow... i need to get my chainstich hem fixed.

yesterday went plastic swiping near bellwoods and bumped into him. he's leaving to nyc on weds to finalize the shipment of denim for this season. the price of his jeans vary depending on what fibers, stitching, rivets you use et al.

[subarashii_kudamono]

ps. ask him to show you the samples. they're delish.
