before i down my cash on some new standards

[witts]

what did they have to say?

[kiz]

oh no, apc has officially gone mainstream. now i need to decide between detroit and california. i'm not sure how tight i want my jeans and that yellow selvage looks awesome. i definitely don't want detroits if they're looser than rescues though.

here are some pictures of me in my rescues. i'd like something tighter for sure.

i definitely don't want something as tight as this

i can't believe how much you people can get completely sidetracked by shit that has nothing to do with your decision making process.

'what're the best jeans i can get?'

'oh wait...they talked about them on good morning america? they definitely can't be the best denim, then'

and i mean, i think in the time it's taken this thread to get this far, julian reds have already become played out. i mean, shit, EVERYBODY'S talking about them

Okay here's a scale for you with some examples of jeans that I'm personally familiar with:

1 (skin tight) Nudie Super Slim Kim

2

3 APC Cure, Julian Red California, Nudie Bootcut Ola, Studio D'Artisan SD-105, APC Hipsters

4 Nudie Slim Jim

5 APC Standard, Levi's 1947 501 (and copies of it), Diesel Zathan, Nudie Regular Ralf

6

7 APC Rescue

8 Nudie Loose Frank, Julian Red Detroit

9 Nudie Baggy Bjorn

10 (Way too baggy)

[Xand]

Nudie Super Slim Kims aren't all that tight unless you size down a few times (they stretch), at standard size they're not really all that much tighter than Silm Jims.

Where would you put Levi's Skinners on that scale?
