polo ralph lauren japanese selvage jeans: any good?

[cant_sleep]

anyone here own or try a pair of these on? are they nice? whats the fit like? i saw a few on ebay and they look pretty decent and are pretty cheap. regular polo jeans are shite, so i dunno..

I like mine alot. I have the slim bootcut. The are kind of a relaxed slim with just the slightest bootcut. The sizing can be kind of weird though, so I'd encourage you to contact the seller for actual size info to make sure your getting something that fits.

honey, you're my religion

I had purchased a pair of low rise boot cut. they were TIGHT AS HELL, especially below the knee. Like skin tight.

I wouldnt have minded if below the knee was looser while the thigh and waist was tighter. I wear pretty fitted, low jeans, but these were just TOO MUCH.

Denim was nice and soft, pretty nice quality.

argh. i got nothing against tight jeans, wear what you want i say. but its getting near impossible to find relaxed, or even regular fitting jeans with any kind of quality anymore. i think jeans companies are loving the whole slimfit thing going on. less material being used means more money saved.

I got a pair of the RRL selvage slimcut. The selvage line is green and the jeans are kinda grey really. Tight tight below the knee and alittle too loose in the thighs. Real japanese looking cut. Selvage watch pocket, hidden rivits. The cut I'm getting used to still. The quality is absolutely some of the best I have ever seen. These things are built like a tank. They came pretty heavily starched but I think it is at least 14oz denim. I think I am going to like them when they wear in a bit and stretch out in the calf alittle bit. I am still on my first 551zxx project (3mts hard wear so far) and then I need to start my new sugar canes so it might be next winter before I get to start on them (rrl).

yeah, i really liked the quality of the denim, its just the tightness below the knee was just too much for me.

agree 100%. have the slim cut, too, and can just barely fit them over my frye boots. mine are a deep indigo, though, i think one-wash, with a light blue selvage. just beautiful denim though - very slubby and thick... sizing is a little wack (i'm a natural 33 or 34 waist, and i'm in 27s...), but they're the best bargain in denim i've picked up (ebayed for $45)...

I picked up a pair at filene's basement for 11 dollars! biggest steal of my life... they were priced at 185 and kept getting marked down...

I don't get why people won't buy these jeans. Except for the crazy sizing, a la APC, the denim and construction are on par with APC. It's a bargain at $50, and any price below $40 is absolutely a steal.
