the unbranded brand

[FrisseFrasse]

I wonder what the new 21oz will cost if the price will be competitive compared to elephant 2s

[grifo]

Not super experienced with raw/selvedge denim... Looking for an entry-level pair. Decided on Unbranded mostly because of price. Waistline about a 32. If I wanna get the tapered fit, what size should I buy? I like a little bit of room, but still a snug fit.

Thanks for the help in advance.

[dhalgren]

Your actual waist measures 32 inches or you normally wear tag size 32?

[grifo]

Both.

Is it just me, or do the fades on Unbrandeds generally look dull...

Can't expect much though, given their pricetag.

[xcrunchx]

Some people (very few) have gotten crazy fades with heavy contrast.

I am thinking about getting a pair of 301´s, whats the overall consensous about the quality construction of these jeans. any issues?

I am looking at getting a pair of 15 oz tapered. I wear a 34-34 in nudie grim tims. Should I size down one or get TTS?

[Somar]

Anybody around here who has got a pair of the new 21oz?

[kenzie]

two pairs, actually (31's are for my friend, who's in Texas right now)

and no, these will not be turned into shorts, for anyone who's still pouting about that

fun fact: it's left hand twill denim, threw me for a loop

extra good bonus! left hand twill!

[Somar]

Kenzie, nice!

When will we see fit pics?

[rosarkar]

Wouldn't mind grabbing a pair of these since they're so affordable but I have no time to wear them. Expecting god-tier fades during HWDC2 from so many people grabbing Unbranded 21 oz!

[kenzie]

not sure where you're gonna find em, rosarkar. I ordered from Blue Owl Workshop, but they sold out within a couple of days and started taking preorders for the next shipment, which I think is coming in later this month. best of luck, but it might be difficult because of how much hype these jeans got.

a quick fit pic. lighting is terrible because it's raining here and my new apartment has pretty poor lighting (though it does have a 1920's piano and a poster of a Shelby GT500...)

[rosarkar]

Haha Kenzie, yeah I feel the hype. I won't be getting a pair in the near future like I mentioned since I already have 2 pairs of amazing denim to beat to death but if we see some really nice fades over the course of HWDC2, I'll get Unbranded for my next pair of raws. Btw really liking that fit.

[kenzie]

I was thinking entering the contest, but I'm thinking about asking my friend if he wants to do a little duel on these. and thanks, the fuller fit of the tapered cut feels like it'll be better with the heavy denim later on. I'm also quite stoked about the left hand twill, even though soft 21oz denim sounds like an oxymoron.

Blueowl's blog says next shipment is july

[TooAwesome]

[MDSsmith]

Apparently Unbranded does selvedge chambray shirts and ties now? Odd that there was no announcement or anything.

I ordered mine on the 28th of December from Blue Owl Workshop and they shipped the next day with Priority Shipping. I suppose I got lucky. They're size 30 UB121's.

I find them to be a bit lighter in color than the original 14.5 oz cuts, but the LHT is a nice bonus.

I'd suggest sizing 1 up, but if you think you can manage the pain get TTS. I had to size 1 up and they were still super tight on the waist... so tight that I hurt my thumbs buttoning them.

[tigerpac]

How's the construction on the new 21 oz's?

[rayw44]

The blog actually says they have some of all three cuts still available, with new delivery coming 1/11 and 1/18. It's only if you miss out on them now or after those two shipments that you would have to wait until July.

yeah i would really like to know about this as well? anybody with them can they comment on it? buttons? stitching? the denim?

The stitching around the top most button seems more sparse than it should be. I can see gaps where there should be stitching but there isn't. Maybe their sewing machine wasn't able to punch through the denim well enough, since that area is the thickest due to the layering to get the buttons to go through. The leather patch's edges aren't completely smooth but rather fuzzy, which is a sign of inferior leather production. The sewing around the button holes are lacking (probably for the same reason as the threads skipping) which makes it easy for the denim to fray when repeatedly buttoning and unbuttoning.

Other than that, they're pretty sturdy. The construction is comparable to their old 14.5oz line, but it's easy to notice they had trouble with their needles.

[mistahdabolina]

Nice review ...do the buttons feel cheap and fragile?? sorry it bugs the crap out of me, they want to compete with top brands and they cant even have decent buttons on their 14.5 oz's

[Davil]

My first pair of selvedge was unbranded and i dont think that they attempt to compete with top brands rather to serve a nitch market. For me the thought of päying $200-$500 for a pair of jeans was a bit too much but a pair of unbranded on sale at urban outfitters got me in the game. The quality was better than what i häd owned to that point. That said, when it comes to selvedge, you most often get what you päy for. Both the button loops and back pocket stitching were quick to go on my pair. Stiil they were worth what i päid.
