I received a 45r coat as a(n amazing) gift recently, and while their prices have never been in my realm it does make me want some jeans too. I like a lot of the other designs as well.

Yeah their prices are out of my range as well. But their pieces do look nice (as a fashion company).

I really dig the half arc:

I visited their shop in Paris last January, it was beautifully merchandised and the staff were very welcoming and helpful.
But as y'all mentioned just a bit too rich for my blood.

Thing is, if I succeed in going the duration of this contest and save what I might spend on jeans in a normal year, I could do it. My collection at this point says that over time it’s not so much a matter of funding (although to a pair, it certainly feels like it) but actually curation and restraint. I’ve been curious about putting in a long go of some naturally dyed jeans and while SDA seem the obvious option, who knows. I’ve been able to resist anything since the contest was agreed upon, so there’s that!

Sold them some time back, never fit quite right honestly.

^Never got a good fit on any of my pairs either, but they finally make a size 38 so I'll eventually get around to it once I'm in Japan. Purchasing from their international shops is also way too rich for me, though I love basically anything/everything they do from a fashion brand perspective. Staff in Japan are always so incredibly nice as well

I have been around the denim, menswear and contemporary fashion world for way too long and my notion of "expensive" is so distorted. Haha. $350-$450 for their raw or rinsed jeans seems totally pedestrian to me and thanks to you lot, I'm having to fight the urge to go visit their NYC shop. I've wanted a pair since first seeing them on a Jean Shop client circa 2008/2009.
