prps

[absolut]

so i went to this one boutique in chicago that carries them, was not impressed at all, one model was 165 with some holes and crazy wash, the other one was just a dark jean color unwashed model, both looked like shit.

[showbiz00ditc]

yea lileo's carrying it. i dunno their mad expensive and im not too down with the prewashed shit (all that prps does).

[6MT]

DONT BUY THEM THEN.............

[superman]

hate or love it

[adsurgo]

for what it is, its awesome. you gotta be down with some of the prewashed destroyed/ dirty look.

[woejozney]

if i was into the baggy look, id got for prps. Its not my style, but I think they're a badass jean. I wish they had a small cut or something.

Oh Gawd!

[pointballer]

how baggy are prps jeans, because i'm considering purchasing a pair. I love the distressing prewashed look but is it really THAT baggy?

[docdoom]

dont look too baggy to me. the one wash wrinkled selvedge model are in a shop near me for about 100 pounds, q nice.

[minya]

Prps are not baggy at all. The pair I tried on was very tight. I have pretty big legs though.

[woejozney]

dam, i looked like a clown in 30's. Oh well, im a small guy.

Oh Gawd!

[sybaritical]

Docdoom - man, snap the one wash up at £100 if you can. Cheapest in London is £205 at Liberty.

[apekilledape]

where is the shop at docdoom?

ape kills ape, nigo packs his bags.

I think that prps is doing some of the best finishing in the biz right now, and it's my job to research denim finishing. They are pretty much the only ones doing black FINISHED denim good right now (and it's VERY hard to finish black denim and have it turnout looking good). Plus they are dong some GREAT non-denim finishing.

BTW, they don't do rigid, but they do a one-wash rinse product.

[minya]

Prps makes some fucking sweet t-shirts... way too expensive though!

[woejozney]

some guy at atrium told me they were coming out with a dry model soon.

Oh Gawd!

i've been wearing the same pair of prps for about 2 months ( the basic 5 pocket purple selvedge jam ) ... and pretty much just get that pair every time they put it out ... well i'm on my third pair of their basic jean ... ( the first actually has akademik rivets on the inside ) ... i love it's fit and look ... and i live in them.

it's odd ... i shy away from their more destroyed pairs ... even though i've purchased two of them ... (one being the washed selvedge pair and the other being the one with the button closures at the top and a few holes in them ... eh don't know the name of that sort of thing ) ... i very rarely ever wear them ...

the tees are killer ... i picked up a few and while i do think they fit big ... ( my two mediums are sorta on the wide side ) ... the material is hot ... picked up a hoodie too ...

good stuff.

waiting on a newer piece to catch my eye ... and that dry model sounds hot.

I really like the finish & detailing on the purple selvedge jean, but they look like hammer pants on me. Not my style.

[Blanc0]

I've seen you wear those washed ones quite a few times, fauxhawk....

[vinz]

I picked up a pair of the purple selvege PRPS at Ina. I got a crazy deal on them. They do fit a little big but that's alright with me.

I also have the purple one wash selvage. Beatiful jeans. So much attention to detail, eventhough nobody will notice it. ( camo liner, black rivets, copper, brass and purple colored buttons, and stitch details) They are my favorite pair of jeans at the moment, I copped them for 225 at goods in seattle. Great fitting if you prefer something a little more relaxed.

overdone. saw a pair in LOEHMANS in LA almost a year ago for 30 bucks. at least know how to control your distribution if youre trying to come out hard. can somebody say AKADEMIKS?

I AM LEISURE.

[vinz]

Yeah my favorite part of the jeans are the multi colored button fly.

The distressed jeans are a little overly done, but their selvage pieces are by far one of the best jeans in the market now a days imo.

Corpus makes bad ass jeans as well...too bad they don't make selvage

Uh, Yeah, they ARE Akademiks, everyone knows this already.....

Who said they were trying to come out hard?

There's LOTS of higher-end stuff at Loehman's, that's why it exists: Maharishi, Neil Barrett, Barney's, etc...they don't just buy from clothing companies alone, they also buy backstocks from department stores.

You wanna see overdone, try True Religion, A&F, Hollister, Edun, the list goes on.
