5ep

[nairb49]

got a pair on a deal, the worn bootcut model.

are 5eps sanforized? if not, will they still shrink when i wash them even though they have prior distressing/wear marks?

best quality jeans i've seen, imo

nairb49

[robobeng]

yeh they are sanforized

[Geowu]

they won't shrink noticeably

[nairb49]

cheers, thanks for the info

Since I'm in the market, where'd you find a deal on these??

[nairb49]

was out on boxing day early, was dissapointed with holts and nomad, then got to caban before noon, so i got an extra 20% off

they were the last pair at caban, sorry!

this is all downtown toronto, dont' know where you're located

[PG2G]

Hehe, sounds like a good find. I'm in Los Angeles, so quite a ways away Anyway, congrats. I'll probably be joining the 5ep camp in the next couple of days

[nairb49]

yeah, i think they're great, highly recommend them

just wondering if anyone else finds the rise to be quite high on these? quite different from my others

nairb49

[wild_whiskey]

Rise is 10," I wouldn't say that's really high or low.

[nairb49]

yeah, i guess most of my other jeans are pretty low.

you ever end up getting your pair? wouldn't mind seeing a few pics of that

Before I bite the bullet, is the wear on the Boot Worn the same as the Straight Worn?

[wild_whiskey]

Me? I already have a pair of low down boot one-wash jeans. I've posted some pictures here and on the styleforum.

[nairb49]

sorry, my mistake

i said above that i had bought bootcut, but i meant to say straight. in any case, the bootcut on the 5eps is quite minimal.

so, that being said, these are pretty much exactly the jeans i got, even same waist size.

the fading on mine is identical.

good luck!

I just went ahead and ordered them. Active Endeavors only had the boot model, but thats probably better because it has a button fly.

I tried the straight at Fred Segal and they were awesome, but they were charging $315, haha.

[wild_whiskey]

The distressing on 5EPs really is awesome. Expensive, but great looking.

[nairb49]

by far the best and most authentic looking distressing i've seen.

the honeycombs on the back of the knee are the slightest bit off, but not really noticeable unless i'm standing and someone is measuring.

guess my rrds project is gonna take a bit longer now...

nairb49

[nairb49]

whoa....

just noticed that the straight worns are going on rakuten.co.jp for about 40000 yen.

thats a pretty penny!

[nairb49]

[PG2G]

Looking good. Mine will be here the 5th. My RRDS will be on the back burner pretty soon, hehe.

[wild_whiskey]

Really great distressing on those. Good pick up nairb

[himatey]

[nairb49]

nairb49

[himatey]

how much did you get yours for?

[nairb49]

about 160, great boxing day deal

starting to wish they were a touch smaller though... might get em taken in a bit.

nairb49

[PG2G]

Mine just arrived today, awesome I wish they had longer inseams though, but it'll be all right

[himatey]

post pics mate.!

how do they fit?

[PG2G]

here's a quickie. Excuse the picture quality, old ass cologne, and odd shaped dirty mirror. Its from a guest bathroom that we don't use

I'm pretty impressed with them.
