best of the best jeans...

[adsurgo]

i just got $500 from my ebay sales... and im getting payed soon...

i wanna get the best fucking pair of jeans on the market. i know im gonna get different opinions but what would you all suggest for top construction AND style?

[tangerine]

I've never spent that much on a pair of jeans, and haven't even seen any of these in person, but if I had a big budget, I would look at:

45rpm

Dior Homme

Sugarcane Hawaii SC40400N, like imisssefler got

Samurai look nice too

bespoke 45 rpm with silver rivets/buttons, it does nt get any better than that

[darknworn]

if ya gotta splurge, go for the rolls...45rpm

i know if i ever got $500 with nothing attached to them, i'd be going for some 45rpm in a heartbeat.

[Cue]

mind you, the diors are hot as fugg ... if you are slim

[Guest Fade to Black]

Well, 45 RPMs are the cream of the crop...but i think the bespoke models gonna run you a lil more than 500. If you wanted to blow that entire stack in one go, I'd go for the Dior Homme orange overdyed jeans, they're $465 but after tax all 5 bills gonna be gone. The latest issue of the black whiskered jeans i don't recommend, the blue whiskereds are alright but not great, and i can't comment on the creased indigo jeans as i don't have experience with them (but i might cop soon)...so you left with the orange overdyes which have been Dior's signature jean for the past 3 seasons now.

[Geowu]

I've got no personel experience with either, but I think Studio D'artisans or 5EP.

(I don't see what's so great about 45rpm...)

[adsurgo]

i already have a pair of diors that i bought like 2 weeks ago. and i got 500 plus my check so...

[adsurgo]

how would i go about getting them sugarcane hawaiis?

[6MT]

IF I HAVE 5 BILLS I WOULD NOT ASK PEOPLE HOW TO SPEND IT.......

if you re gonna cop, you better cop fo real

ie, 45 rpm bespoke, you get those, and you re my hero...

[Yakboy Equals Nurturer]

Bear in mind that the only aspect of the bespoke 45rpms (Aihiko) that is actually customized for you are the (artificial) wear marks. They don't tailor them or cut them to fit.

Still, they use the best denim out there with (natural) indigo dye and I still kind of want a pair myself.

quick question: (to ringring or anyone) what makes 45rpm stand apart from other Japanese brands in that segment?

[adsurgo]

can someone give me specific details to the hawaiis or the bespokes?

[Yakboy Equals Nurturer]

Quote: what makes 45rpm stand apart from other Japanese brands in that segment?

They just go that little extra bit further. Optional silver buttons and rivets (although the regular copper ones are just as nice). Pocket selvage. Hidden rivets on the back pockets. Printed fabric used for the front pockets. The denim used in the bespoke range is rope-dyed with vegetable indigo and (at least according to the cute girl who works in the SoHo store) the fabric is spun and woven at slower than ususal speeds to bring out the slubs and create a tighter weave.

None of this shit really matters...but if I were going to spend an insane amount of money* on a pair of non-vintage jeans I'd consider the money better spent on 45rpm detailing than a designer label.

*[if you're just going to spend a slightly unbalanced amount of money, one-wash 45rpm Sorahikos are a nice compromise.]

[giantreptile]

don't forget, adsurgo wants you to say "R by 45rpm".

[Geowu]

The pictures I've seen of sorahiko (and aihiko) worn in look not so good imho.

Hidden copper rivets and selvage pocket, zimbabwean cotton harvested once a year, etc. are common in most Japanese denim in that segment. The cut of 45rpm seems too old-style.

[imisssefler]

are 'r by 45rpm' levis repros or do they have their own style, if so what's it like? also, can you get them raw or do they only come in one wash?

[horriblyjollyjinx]

It's a shame none of the japanese brands make jeans of a good cut though. Sure, nostalgy and all, but I think they could at least make a few jeans with a modern, slim cut without a baggy ass(maybe they have an I'm not aware?).

tally-hoo

[Geowu]

some have a fitted ass (levis 501 '47 or '66 style I believe).

as for a true modern cut (like nudie, apc, 5ep... like western brands in general) it is pretty rare.

Quick answer : the price.

[baldy]

dude, just to let you know, i HIGHLY DOUBT that you are going to be able to afford a pair of bespoke when they have the regular natural indigo dyed jeans for 700+ they have the other washes that vary in price from pair to pair i believe from 250-500. maybe you should save up another 200-300 and get the natural indigo dye if you really want "best of the best"

[adsurgo]

what? what would make you think i need to save up?

[lilodxd]

#@$% those Bespokes are sweet.

[witts]
