So APC's are the best raw denim for under $200, Right?

[CL Smooth]

Everyone says Nudies are trash, LVC raw denim sucks... etc.

Are APC's the best "cheap" raw denim (200 or less)???

[Mihalis]

IMO, APC is definitely the best bang for your buck. Good cuts, decent denim, quick fades. I think they're the perfect "starter pair".

maaaan..... i been into jeans for a long ass time. Been through 4-5 pairs of apcs, sugarcanes, etc etc. I'm just looking for a new pair and wondering whether it's really worth it to splurge again on some 250+ shits or stay with my current brand, apc.

Nudies are trash...? I'm sad now..

you can find plenty of jeans for under 200. apc being a great value, but if you look around enough on the supermarket or over at styleforum there are deals to be found. for example, i just sold a kmw 1980 for less than 200 as well as a 5epxSF, both of which are way superior to APC's. Bought my skulls 5010xx off supermarket for 130. would rather have any of those over APC NS (not that I don't love the NS)

Not that I have personal experience with LVC, but I've seen plenty of pairs that don't suck.

[40ozprophet]

whats wrong with LVCs..

[fallen angels]

apc's are alright, but after a lot of wear the denim starts to not look that good, at least in my opinion..

japanese repro denims can be had for 200 and those denims always look way better in the long run.

[Tarmac]

you've worn through 4-5 APCs? sound like they suck. Also you spent $600 on 4 pairs of jeans because you thought you were saving money.

if under $200 is your only criteria, I would say LVC are better

I still like them

PBJ's and eternals are 225. I'd spend the extra 25 bucks for something nicer. Anyway, it's fun to see the way different denims fade.

Stop starting stupid new threads that are pointless...we now have a Best Denim Under $75, Best Denim Under $80, and Best Denim Under $100, and this stupid thread.

Stop being a cheap bitch and buy something decent...you get what you pay for.
