I'd grab yourself a pair of 501 STFs. $50 and widely available in mall stores that try to "aim higher" in fashion selection.

I don't understand exactly why you want pre-faded, but I would guess that you want a pair a little more comfortable then the Sams to take a break in.

Follow that suggestion only if that's the case.

lol what the fuck did you not read the guy's initial post on why he wants predistresed jeans?

[COLLIEPARKSBUBBASPARXXX]

Thanks everyone for there help!

I have kind of decided between the edwins which i feel may be somewhat (overdone?) in the rear vs the warehouse 660s and denime's which have the downside of being very expensive.

Is there any english sight where yu can order Denime?

This help is very much appreciated

[fndmybetterhalf]

those are just a quick pic of edwins i found...but generally, ive foudn that Edwin Japan denim tends to look fairly nice for a not-too-expensive-price.

It made a bit more sense in my head.

I've also heard that Omnigod does really nice washes. You might want to talk to Chicken; I know he has a raw pair.

+1 on Omnigod. They are actually mainly known for their distressed jeans, not their raw.

it's true, i visited their store in kyoto and the stuff looked nice... so did the shop btw

2 more..

Quite impressed with Omnigod 50-009A prewashed

And PRPS just brought out a new model - vintage selvage - that doesn't seem bad either..

[lenn]

im sorry beatle that prps looks sooo cheap... the honeycombs and hige are awful, and whats up with the 'wallet fade'... although i'm wearing a prps raw i pretty much hate their prewashed jeans

[beatle]

No worries...I think for what they are they are done well..maybe a bit overdone..LOL

[JFleshman]

For reasons like Collies, prefade isn't all that bad. I should consider that for the future. I enjoy my overdyed look, though. Then comes the fade that you wear in pride, for you have earned that shit.

Would it be a bad idea to just to to yahoo japan auctions and search for a nice used pair? I sometimes go looking for older models of evisu when they were named Evis and theres some really nicely worn ones there for not that much money.

[cheep]

or ebay some broken in levis redlines. you can get some beautiful jeans for cheap that way.

also, if you are into japanese denim you should own at least one pair of the real deal(tho i dont right now... mine have been distributed to sufuers)

[OGCmon]

levis saddlemens or the bunkhouse

Thank you everyone!

I am glade some people can sympethize with my situation. I am just not one to rock the same jeans 5 days in a row.

I got the edwins

http://www.cmonwealth.com/item.php?id=1721

cuz they were half price in my size!!!

I would have gotten the warehouse if I could afford them but sadly no...and I feel as though most of the prps are overdone and somewhat tacky plus the fit seems baggier than most other brands.

Thanks again guys

[fndmybetterhalf]

i agree with the desire for nice prefaded denim...there are just somedays where i dont wanna wear stiff ass jeans lol.

good choice, but the knees do have to match up otherwise it will look a bit silly

[Largo]

The fades on 5ep are pretty nice too, although I noticed the same problem with knees matching up with 'combs, depending on your height.

[kdiddy]

Sugar Cane has some very nice prefaded models as well.

[rolfie sb]

i like how american eagle has the same pocket stitch as edwin.

Yeah, got myself a pair of Edwins from Japan this past weekend. Only thing that sets them apart is the red tab.

[DJ2xTech]

those Asian fob sites usually have some good looking prefaded denim...a lot of them are slim too.

+ rep if you can provide a nice prefaded one, predistressed canes are hideous in my opinion.

[JFleshman]

Rock it.

Try to score some used Diesels. cuts like Zathan, Slammer, Thanaz, Safado. They've done some really good stuff the past couple seasons. Only a few of them would I pay full retail price for.

Prewashed Nudie jeans are cool, but not worth the money. Seven for All Mankind jeans have low quality material for the price too. True Religion is played out, mostly because of the gaudy horseshoe back pockets.

PRPS are pretty awesome but quite pricey.

Hi guys,

I too am getting a bit bored of wearing 'raw' all the time.

Haven't stopped liking raw jeans, just that I've stopped liking looking like I'm wearing the same outfit every day no matter what pair of jeans I have on.

I just ordered some washed Cheap Mondays for a bit of a radical change, plus they are inexpensive.

Would like some PRPS, but unfortunately inseam is not long enough.

[Double D]

When we were getting my girlfriend's Edwins I saw a pair of PRPS that had the most realistic looking honeycombs I've seen on a pair of prewashed denim. Normally combs look like complete junk no matter what.

Goldsign's new range of vintage-style denim looks pretty bloody good too, all modelled on genuine wear LVC style and hand finished in a series of incredibly complex processes.

[JFleshman]

There are easy to get predistressed with the simple sanding for combs, then there are those more rare, quality jeans that actually fold and crease as if they were broken in. That, along with proper placement of fading and subtlety, is what seals the deal for me.

Ya know, there are a few people that think I'm dirty for telling them that they're going to see me wearing the same pair of pants everyday for a year or so minimum.

Oh well, I say it's a phase. I just need to increase my Denim collection. That way, I'll just start cycling some sick nasty pairs with the most realistic break-ins.

Oh, you know it.

With the cheap prices for bad predistressed and the overly high prices for quality predistressed, I think I'll stick with my wholesome denim to have the most realistic fades.

Or maybe I'm just cheap..

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Acne. They have great fits and a wide variety of washes, many of which are really nice. I personally would stay away from the repro companies and go with a fashion label.

[16steps]

if u want some pre-treated denim, why bother going with obscure(outside of sufu) brands

why not go with a jean like diesel? i know its blasphemous to say that on this board but they have some pretty good cuts, and you are bound to find a cut that suits your body, be it straight leg, bootcut or just baggy.

and they are alot less gaudy than most of the jeans posted in this thread
