What denim to buy next?

[john11f]

Okay. I've got a APC l'Anglaise, a Loomstate Mission, a Rogan Sniper, and a Nudie Regular Ralf dry selvage.

What could be my next denim project? Any suggestions?

[darknworn]

you need something hardcore, i.e. denime, eternal, iron hearts, warehouse, etc.,.

or, lvc 1947 cut is always a classic choice.

thanks for the advice. I'm thinking of getting sugar canes or denime but i heard they're made of heavier denim looms. I live in the tropics and those can be quite heavy. But I'll try them on nevertheless.

I'm off to HK next month. Any suggestions where to get japanese denim?

i hear of a store named "take 5" but can't tell you much about it since i've never been there. ask your local cabbie when you get there, i'm sure they can take you to it.

I just saw in our local Levi's store that they sell 501XX 1947's and 1955's. They go for $230 here in Asia. How much would it be in the U.S. or in Europe?

[Serge d Nimes]

$154 when you can find them in the us.

I think the next jeans I break in are gong to be Warehouse 1003 XX. If anyone can score some, drop me a line. http://www.rakuten.co.jp/hinoya/119737/267717/269986/

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

the iron heart 21 oz denim might be something you can get your hands on instead of going to hk

[john11f]

Iron Heart may be a bit too heavy for me in the tropics. I live in the Philippines and it is HOT here.

Weiyung, no choice I'm going to HK for business. Might as well checkout stores that are Dope. Any other recommendations aside from I.T., Take 5, etc.?

I've narrowed down to japanese brand only (in selvage): Sugar Cane, Samurai, Warehouse, Iron Heart, and Denime.

Anything not heavier than 15oz.

[baizilla]

Drop by Concept shop .. they might have some Neighboorhood jeans..

[john11f]

Thanks Baizilla. Is that in Causeway Bay?

[M4TM]

1001 original - for RMC and evisu - they also carry stuff like paper, etc.

No Shirt. No Shoes. No Dice.

do not overlook Eternal, Studio D'Artisan, Skull, The Flat Head, Joe McCoy or Full Count either. All of them are great.

I'm picking up a pair of those thick Iron Heart jeans to wear during the winter.

I've got a pair of Warehouse 1001xx's winging their way to me as we speak. I got them via Juno, who's a guy in Japan who basically acts like a Celga type service, here's his url....

http://www.bid-service.jp/home.html

I'll post pics once they arrive.

Incidentally, I asked him what the difference between the 1000xx and 1001x is and apparently the 1000xx are 'old type material'and the 1001xx are 'new more good material, hence the reason I went for the 1001xx's.

How much did that cost you?

[Biggow]

They came to $299 including Juno's fee and shipping to the UK.

evisu

[doom]

stick with rogans

they are understated and look

better with age

the eclipse is nigh

[rnrswitch]

Sugar Canes... Same as LVC but a little heavier.

[john11f]

I would like to have some variety in my collection Doom. Rogans are nice but the only difference between them are the washes and I would only wear their Originals. I don't go for the tight/slim fits.

[minya]

Does anyone here actually own an Eternal 811? How is the fit?

[doom]

this is for everyone :

just get rogans! 'nuff said

the eclipse is nigh

[sr20det]

how about corpus?

"it's just a phase and you know damn well that you'll fall off in a minute cause that shit don't sell"

[MyMindSpray]

another vote for rogan...

corpus does have some pretty good denim...but not a fan of their overall design...

i recently purchased a pair of edun's for 50%...before my purchase, i wasn't too impressed by their denim...but if you're looking for something somewhat lightweight and reasonably priced, don't overlook the collection...

[john11f]

I'm really inclined in getting a japanese branded denim.

It's a toss up between warehouse, sugarcane, and neighborhood. I just have to decide at what price point would each one be worth the buck.

[Serge d Nimes]

I don't care for Rogans, I think you are on the right track.

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

[john11f]

Thanks for the advise Serge. Rogan still has a place in my closet though. Let's see if the japanese will change that once I get hold on to a pair.
