The GQ Baldwin collab Selvedge is the TRUTH... Fit is on point (somewhere between skinny and slim at the waist and thighs but has an awesome taper from the knees down) and its very thick and rigid, but breaks in quick...
Oh and for $38, I aint complaining...
I have the 1969 selvedge skinnys, but I'd love to check the Balwins out. I keep hearing good things about them.
Anyone know some good distressed jeans I can find online?
Yeah people tend to get hung up on the "rules" of washing and those are the people who often end up with underwhelming progression. I remember a guy on SF that had Unbrandeds and washed them like every week early on but he wore them pretty hard and the fades were pretty impressive.dont put too much thought into this. just wash when you feel like its time for a wash. that 6 month period of no washing is overrated. it all depends on how hard you wear your jeans. people who wear their pairs hard (biking, hiking, etc) will probably wash them earlier than people who has other pairs in rotation/only wears 2-3 times a week.
fades may not appear in the first wash, or the second wash, but thats okay. keep wearing them. sooner or later, you will notice a difference.
if you dont want to wash it but you feel like its getting a bit loose, then soak them.
Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply has some nice reasonably priced distressed jeans, no idea how they fit tho
Reasonably priced yes. But I wouldn't say that D&S jeans are "Good".Anyone know some good distressed jeans I can find online?
Who makes good true slim straight fit? Not boot cut like 514 or tapered. Just slim through the leg with a straight opening. Was looking at Nudie Slim Jims but the price is a little steep.

$250 is steep. The Nudie Slim Jims I was talking about were $80-85.

That would probably be my max. I could never spend more than that on a pair of jeans to be honest.

-Not sure if they're still around, they might have been limited, but a couple of years back I was able to get a (surprisingly) good pair of distressed selvedge denim from Abercrombie and Fitch.

Lemme tell you, I was shocked! My girlfriend was working there part time at the time and she told me they had a pair of Selvedge denim. That was the only way I would have ever come across these. But this ONE pair, and probably one pair only is better than anything D&S puts out. I personally think Denim & Supply is too high priced for the quality that they output in some cases. In some cases, I don't see why someone wouldn't just pay a few dollars extra and go for RRL.I don't think you'll find any thing better for a reasonable price. I've never owned a pair of denim and supply jeans but they gotta be better then anything for Abercrombie and fitch lol I can't even shop in that store it's too dark to see the clothes, feels like I'm in a musty closet
only thing cheaper is like JC Penny's Levis lol. also, better fitting jeans tend to cost more so you can't expect to be completely happy with the fit at that price point. idk how many pairs of jeans you like to have but personally I have 3 pairs of somewhat expensive jeans I really like and that's all I really need right now. so you might wanna consider spending more on one pair as opposed to a 8 pair rotation or something like my mans with the black jeans a few post back
Trust me, you won't be disappointed with more expensive denim. I've been there time and time again, purchased Gap selvedge, J. Crew. What's the difference between 10 pairs of $50 denim or just wearing in one pair of $500 denim?I feel the same way about denim for some reason. I hate how this is such an expensive thing but i know you get what you pay for. I think I am going the unbranded route if I do the raw thing again.
Their cuts are weird but the quality is a kin to Diesel... but not badDoes anyone know the quality on G-Star?
