Got $175... best choice of jeans?

[cgeezy]

Well where can I find the LVC 47's in my price range? Aeroleather has them at 110 GBP (about 191 USD).

[Serge d Nimes]

Apc or wait for Imperials to become available again. LVC is a disapointment, and I hear they raised their prices!

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

you mean you don't have an extra $16? don't worry, it's worth it.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

buy APC's for $120 or order Japanese jeans. All other brands than APC are overpriced if you keep in mind what you can get from Japan.

dontcaretoomuchforcrap CANT SKATE!!

[denimdestroyedmylife]

I change my answer to APC. the APC thread is making me want a pair, too.........

The Imperials look sick, but info has me in limbo.

[damnIam]

APCs $120 dollars...where? I want 'em

yeah, but aeroleather will have the levi europe LVC, which are better quality than what's being re-released by levi in the US. just read all the complaints people are having with the new LVC stuff. trust me, it's worth the extra thirty bucks or so to get them from aeroleather.

[et negative five]

i like apc's and levi shrink to fits... but i am gonna buy a pair of those ande whall jeans, he's a user on here. those jeans look awesome.

i can't imagine there being any difference in quality between the deadstock '47s in the US, and the ones that are for sale in the UK...they're probably made in the exact same factory

i have a pair of deadstock '44s from the UK, as well as a pair of deadstock '47s from last fall's US collection...no noticable difference in my opinion in terms of quality.

[Serge d Nimes]

That is exactly what I was thinking!

[Guest The Diplomatic Aristocrat]

Slim Jim Nudies are aboud 155. I like them as much as I like my APCs.

I'm like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin'

ok then. but i still read on this forum that there are differences (quality, shrinkage) with the new US stuff.

the guy who started that thread is in the UK

[giantreptile]

that's just one example. i've read other instances. but whatever, i give up. i guess i have no business saying it in the first place because i don't have the new ones to compare.
