I'm just speaking about quality. @donpoppa

I've been buying Levi's for years and I want to make a change, is the quality in the more expensive pairs (PRPS, RRL, APC) worth the extra dough? How low are Levi's on the quality scale? I just want to buy some long lasting nice fitting denim.

My PRPS Ramblers are exceptional
 
You can definitely notice the difference in quality between the more expensive brands and Levi's. I wear a lot of levi's and the quality is solid. I have a pair of RRL's and they feel indestructible. Still trying to break them in.

I just got an offer from a co-worker; he has a connect who can get me Levi's from the outlet for the low (maximum price would be thirty), I'm down to grab a few but if I can hold off two weeks I'll have enough for some raw denim, maybe two pair (judging from what I have read here I could get two pair for around 300?). My question is should I hold off and grab the more expensive pairs? I want some denim that will last me a while and I like the idea of rocking them for prolonged periods without washing them.

Nit much of a hook up because Levi's are already 40 bucks at Macys and sears. You should buy 2 pairs of cheap pairs of raw denim before moving on to more expensive pairs. Some brands that are relatively cheap are APC, Naked and Famous, and Nudies, they are all in the 100-200 dollar range. If you want an even cheaper pair cop some unbranded jeans. At around 80 a pair they are a good first pair of raw denim

personally i say wait

you'll like the raw denim alot more and they're gonna last you wayyyyyyyy longer

not to mention they'll look better too :smokin
 
Don't think I've posted these pics in here so I'll put them up in case anyone is interested. I got the APC petit new standards (sized down 1). They were a little tight in the thighs at first but I was able to button all the buttons pretty easiler. I've worn them for a couple weeks and the thighs have loosened up a bit and I couldn't be happier with the fit. Comfortable rise, Slim legs and a nice taper. Highly recommended. The pics are from when I first got them although they look just about the same still.

thats whats up then!

i like my APC's more TBH but i dont think ive givin my N&F a long enough time though

i would say the closest would be new cures (if they still make them) or petite new standards

weird guys are actually the ones i have and i usually stay around the same fit
 
these are my Naked&Famous weird guys

0 washes, 0 soaks
idk how old though, i wanna say i got them in 2010 maybe 2011 but havent worn them for that long. been on and off
wanna get back in them but like i said i need to shed some lbs... :{
the thing i really like about these is i was wearing them a lot when i worked at home depot in the paint dept
so they have a few splatters in random places :lol

What do you guys think about the gustin joints. I wanna try a pair?

hmm dont know too much about them.. ill look them up (from what i saw in their site its pretty dope)

the ones ive been thinking about trying out are Baldwins

i keep hearing good things
 
Those Samurai 710s :x
sflk;ajslf;sjdkl;fj ajfajflskdnvnfdsak I want those.

Anyways Weird Guys Deep Indigo is a b to fade.
I gave up on mines after about a year and wash later.

My IH 634s are fading at almost twice the rate. I can't wait to wash them and wear em more in the fall/winter.
 
Samurais :hat

Just copped some APC's off Tres Bien for $150, they have a nice little 25 Euro off deal going right now
 
theres alot of brands man

APC is kinda on the "lower end" for some heads :rolleyes (i know)

check out http://www.selfedge.com/shop/ for more brands and good quality denim..

Definitely gonna check that out. Good looks!


yes, let the raw denim flow through you (or at least your legs) tru's are for struggle rappers and rachets anyways

Haha I know man. I've been wanting a pair for the longest and now Im like why didnt I do this sooner lol.
 
anyone ever get the waist of their denim altered a bit shorter? 8o


I've had the mistake of purchasing a pair of RRL's but got my actual size & now I regret it since they've stretched a bit. :(

give em a hot soak for about 30-45 minutes and they should shrink back to they size they first were
 
Is there any LIGHT wash denim you guys recommend out there? I've been checking out some of the brands posted in here but it doesn't look like there's much other than indigo washes are readily available in most cases. Really looking for some light blue denim I can wear everyday.

Also where online or what retail stores have good selection of Nudies?

Thanks.
