The denim's not fantastic, but I dig Built by Wendy/Wrangler47 stuff a lot, and in my limited experience don't see it mentioned here. I have a pair of their broken twill wranglers, and I wear this tshirt all the time...

on a whim, i bought some of the RRL slim fit selvage that's (still) all over ebay. whack sizing (i'm a 33" measured waist and i'm sitting here in 27s...), but for $45 instead of $185, what the hell, right?

SUPER impressed with the quality, fit, and detail. wearing in really nice - i'll post pics in a few months.

Does anyone have an opinion of the jeans from Jean Shop in NYC? I lucked into a pair and I'm super impressed with them, but I've never seen anyone mention them on here.

Yeah I would say Jean Shop is pretty underrated....I walked into their store once, great denim and a reasonable alternative for 45 RPM as for as finding Japanese-style selvedge is involved (even though i know Jean shop isn't japanese, hence the -style).

levis

saying levis are underrated on this board is like saying sugar cane is underrated....i see a levis post at least once a day on here. i think the majority of you need to look up underrated in the dictionary. underrated and amazing quality and fits would be buzz ricksons. everyone goes crazy with the other toyo brand sugar cane but ask a question about ricksons and no one responds.....why is this brand so overlooked here?..they are easy to get and the attention to detail is just alittle better than that of the sugar canes.

thats because SugarCane 1947, not unlike APC, fall in the prime price-range for overconsumption (mid $100s,), while Buzz Ricksons are more. I am sure if people were buying more Buzz Ricksons they'd marvel over the quality. Personally I love their 1942 Lee Repro.

As for my choice, it's hard to say, because my favorite brands (5EP, Rag&Bone) are already pretty hyped when theyre mentioned.

The most underrated though, I think is Dry Bones. They don't get much love, particularly because they isn't as much info about them online (as opposed to say, Denime, Samurai, D'Artisan, Eternal).

I think in general though, Japanese jeans are overyped vs. their American equivalents. I'd definitely rate Rag&Bone higher than any of the brands mentioned above, but in general the obsession with Japanese culture (and I'm not immune myself) is going a little too far.

i think tsubi are underated just for fit, im personally not a fan of the distressed jeans they do

but as far as skinny jeans go, they fit like you'd expect dior to [but don't], the dee dee ruff rocker [16cm opening], the joey [same opening], they now have the van winkle [stretch which im not a fan of]

Engineered Garments. Whiskey know how much care they put into the details of the clothing... The jeans, retailing in NYC for $175 (Steven Alan) or less, are a great value. Very classic, but modern fit, if that makes any sense. A little like 5EP Straightlegs.
