Is Julian Red a teenage brand?

[john11f]

Thinking of getting the Calis or the Detroits. Which one is best (slim but not very slim)?

[DJ_Flame]

The subject is totally unrelated to your questions.

and Detroits has a slim slithoutte but not flesh-hugging tight.

I appreciate your answer. The reason why I ask is, if it is for teeners, it will affect my decision to buy or not to buy.

[bobby alto]

Do you mean like high-school teenie bopper type? I highly doubt they have even heard of Julian Red or that they even know there are Swedish denim companies. Oh and if you want slim I would go with the Cali's. I actually just ordered some myself today.

[gomi no sensei]

the Calis are probably the best jeans I own, and the label definitely isn't targeted at teenie boppers.

[john11f]

How about the quality of denim? Is it anywhere near Sugarcanes, Samurai, Eternal, 45rpm, etc...?

[keska]

who decides if its for teenagers or not?

why would our opinions affect your decision.

[iohan]

teens here in sweden hasn't heard of it.. so i doubt they have in the rest of the world. most of our teens rock nudies/acne/seven/true religion, and so on..

[horriblyjollyjinx]

how does the ken park wash look?

and julian red is certainly one of the coolest brands out there.

I think I have tried those on, are they selvage and have like a blue spot at the back of the knee? The wash is pretty nice and not overdone but I didnt like the darker spot because it was not at the right place when I wore them.

no selvage, no blue spot.

It is not Japanese denim and IMO, not as nice.

That said, I love my JR Calis, they fit great, the denim feels great, and quality is quite decent.

I really don't get it about the teenage thing... give me an example of a teenage brand?

ask a cassowary

[minya]

Julian Red is a fjortis brand!

[john11f]

minya, why would you say it is a fjortis brand? quite derrogatory....

I think it was a joke...

[minya]

Because I love the word "fjortis" and I use it at every possible opportunity.

[colin]

i want to use it. what does it mean?

[gomi no sensei]

It's marauding viking for adolescent, I believe

[mcflip]

when I was a teen I had a hard time spending more than $60 on shoes, much less $200-300 on jeans. Funny how things change

[john11f]

cool! i kinda like it. i think it means you're being a girly man. lol

[ten100switch]

i have a pair, am not a teenager, and don't come into contact with teenagers.

[john11f]

I'm in the market for another pair of jeans. It's a toss up between a J Red Cali or a 45rpm bc4000. what do you guys think?

[DJ_Flame]

If you gonna rock it a lot, the bc4000. if not, calis.

Wrong

Well, ppl that are interested in clothing knows about them, but the regular WE, JL probably doesn't know about them yet, but they're fairly easy to get.

[iohan]

well sure there could be a lucky few who has widened their views, but the common teens 14-17 are more interested in grouptrends than clothing as a whole, and julian reds are not a part of any grouptrend as i see it.

but as you say, it could switch on us whenever.

Short answer = no, by far. But they are considerably cheaper. I'm not sure why you are comparing Julian Reds to repro brands anyway. They are different animals.

Perhaps it would be better to compare these jeans to jeans brands that have a more likeminded aesthetic in the same price range. I think that Julian Reds are nice, but not of the same quality as Nudies (which may be ubiquitous in Scandanavia, blah, blah, blah, but still). The quality of the denim seems better than most Acnes I've seen (I've not been at all impressed with the Acne's I've seen at all.) I think that at that pricepoint, and for similar cuts, A.P.C. and Engineered Garments offer much better value for the money

ha, I wish it was something exciting like that. I just don't know anyone that young and I'm not even sure how I could meet teenagers.
