Hey man,

They are pretty nice...there's been a couple of threads on here about them recently...

question for you though - which one did you get and how's the fit? and how's their sizing relative to other jeans you have?

Any pics would be great as well...

Thanks

[booya]

There are 4 styles, they are all pretty relaxed. Id say 2 of 4 are too baggy for me. The ones i have are the classics and i think the frontier ones are the most fitted. I wanted a pair of frontier also but they didnt have my size. Hard to say what they fit like but they all sit pretty low and are straight leg. The stiching is mad cool. Also their japanese labels on the jeans are great. Sizing is pretty dead on especially with the classics. Ill get some pics once i get back home to the states. In europe at the moment. They are made in france but i still have no clue as to where to buy more in paris. If anyone knows please lemme know.

booya, where did you buy them? i'm interested on a frontier. do they run true to size? richard, who posts here works for (or owns) famous friends in NYC and he is on the verge of inking a deal with them that would make them sell it in the US.

An online retailer that offers the frontier would be good. I can't wait!!!

You can also call up the guys at www.jeanspaleis.nl and they will send you a pair with a bank transfer.

It's bound to be cheaper than getting them in the US.

I have two pairs and they are hands down my favorite jeans. And they're not even selvage.

Check out my old thread for pics:http://superfuture.com/city/supertalk/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=2590

The price range will be about $250 - 275; not more than 299. You will probably save $5-10 bucks by ordering from online.

SWEET

Thanks Richard - I'll be down in NYC on the last weekend of this month, so I'll definitely swing by to check them out!

Hold a pair of the Royals in a 32x33 for me!

Thanks again.

[booya]

Dope. Hold some frontiers in 32X33 Richard. Btw the frontiers fit a little large compared to the classics. Just for those who dont know fit wise. Went to colette in paris to check out what they had for atelier ladurance. Only one special edition made just for colette and the classics that i already own. Bought a pair of APCs for 110 euros though. Also went to the 45RPM store. Dissapointed.

[booya]

I bought my pair in amsterdam btw.

done

which one is straight and slim? not baggy? any pics?

[SENDkylHISPASSWORD]

nice looking jeans, but I don't like the back pocket. I like either no stiching or the levis stiching. Thats it. That's why I usually only weat Levis, APC, Earnest Sewn or Gap. Any other brands with no Back pocket stiching? Dior is ok too.
