If you want to stop being a fashion victim (see chip&pepper) or a fashion sheep (see apc denim) here it is...

[Yates]

Instead of subscribing to the same ubiquity as everyone else. You should spend less money on your designer denim and wear cooler looking jeans. That way you can afford those Louise Vuitton skate shoes youve been lusting after....

So hey, your pants look like Carhartt ripoffs.

Do you recommend us to wear our jeans like that guy in the "Double Knee" jeans. I think I will resist. BTW, insulting people is not a good marketing technique.

Carpe Denim!

[DaBestSpoona]

[Serge d Nimes]

Snap!

Carpe Denim!

[dagsolo]

brutal! I say BRUTAL!

Yates, my good man, try not to finger us on the first date.

Strike up a conversation, buy dinner, ask us about ourselves,

THEN maybe you can bury your digits in our innards.

Can I ask you something? These sunglasses: they're really nice. Are they like government issue, or do you guys all go to the same store together?

[Yates]

Thanks for the advice dag. what sunglasses

[dagsolo]

it's a quote from the movie Midnight Run.

[Yates]

I thought you kids were up on your sneaker game. Serge as far as marketing techniques, i dont really give an Eff. Just trying to broaden your horizon. Can we please continue to argue about the various attributes of selvedge and pre-skewing denim. If you guys want to see the Lv skate shoe. go to vuitton.com

Its on there. serge whats so good about corpus?

[Yates]

Woops I meant Carpe..... same shit though...

[st199ml]

I'm knew to this game and I'm sure Serge can explain it better than I, but Carpe Denim seems to be merely a corruption of Carpe Diem (latin for seize the day or moment) to make an amusing sign off.

'Seize the denim' perhaps?

Yawn.

Actin' bad like a kid at Six Flags...

[powerglov]

Yates. You're already in too deep, terrible attempt at .. I don't even know. By the way, I ACTUALLY went looking for Louise's skate shoes online.. and I didn't see any. You have got a twisted world perspective! Oxen Workwear x Reckon x Mindtrix x Cheap Ugly Premade Denim Co.

[powerglov]

Oh shit I just noticed. Congratulations on being featured on "EXTREME Makeover" !

[Guest bed]

I'm sorry but those oxen jeans are quite ugly. I'll continue to be a "sheep" and stick with my APC's.

[RedFoxxworth]

"Oh true, some guy called me a sheep for wearing APCs. Man, maybe I should re-evaluate." SIKE.

Yates: Maybe try to be POSITIVE about your site without being NEGATIVE about other brands. People might be more open minded to you instead of just feeling like some random herb is insulting them.

Appear to have been styled by Nike, circa the original Air Jordan... the front part anyway, which is all you would see while wearing Oxen workwear...

[wild_whiskey]

Well you know what they say.. no such thing as bad publicity. For how much you hate these jeans you sure did a great job bumping the thread a couple times. IMO they're not bad looking jeans. Are you guys just pissed because he called us all sheep?

[Yates]

Wild thanks for the nice comments. The sheep act very sheepishly sometimes. Baaaaaaa! (sound a sheep makes) This is a blog, no reason for anyone to get angry. I Have a pair of Oxen's. My main point was that they are different than the norm, thats all. I like Apc denim actually, but the quality of the denim is just ok. There cotton knits are much more noteworthy. If you are looking for quality raw denim, buy Rpm for baggie, and Dior for slim. Apc fade out after 2 years. Rpms will take about 6 years for the same fade.

My feelings about Chip and pepper or stitch or diesel (corporate sponsor?) havent changed.

Not sure if that was addressed to me, but I'll answer. He wasn't calling me a sheep, because I don't have any APC. He did call me a fashion victim, though.

I (foolishly?) subscribed to the thread and, well, it's interesting. I don't really care if it brings him business or not, I don't begrudge him the right to make a living. I'm in it for the discussion.

I enjoy your comments, wild_whiskey, and I wonder what kind of whiskey you like to drink? Is there a thread about it? Do you want to start one?
