For great straight leg jeans, and made here in the US, I would recommend Earnest Sewn.

 

[doyung9]

Just got a pair of Nudie Average Joe Used... 3rd pair of nudies, quality is definitely on point. Next up, APC NS.

Soaking isn't going to make the fades pop. Soaking is great if you want to re shrink the jeans or remove a smell or light dirt. You have to wash the jeanin the washer to achieve the faded look. Its the agitation caused by the washer that loosens the dye on the faded parts. Thats why people refer to their jeansas having "2 cold soaks and 1 wash." I use woolite dark and the gentle cycle followed by a sun dry when it comes time to wash.

I have a pair of weird guys and they are amazing quality for the price. They stretched a lot, to me almost more than my APC's. The grey weird guy looksdope too but I couldn't find a 28 at Barneys. They have some other nice colors like selvedge khaki available in other cuts. I have heard problems aboutrivets popping off but they will send new ones no problem. If I remember correctly they spend top dollar on denim and save costs on construction thus thecheaper price point.

Levi's, Ralph Lauren, APR, PRP, Se7en

 

[sds45]

A lot of people selling their APCs, I guess due to fit?

i noticed that too.

but its probably because of the fit.

 

[doyung9]

I think I might need to soak my Even Steven's... they've stretched a fair amount.

they're made in some back alley factory in turkey on shoddy looms and they claim to have "fine" quality (laughable)
ed hardy, vondutch, true religion all under the same tree of eventual ridicule
you can literally get dozens of other brand jeans that put them to shame from every standpoint you could think of.

and after all that 250+ for a pair of jeans that wont last me a couple of washes? no sir

and lastly most cats who rock these only rock because when other people see the gaudy stitching they'll know they paid good money too look as foolish as they do

Wow you truely an un-informed consumer. True Religions are made in Los Angeles, California USA. I can't say they are made by Americans but they are made onU.S. soil. With our economy in the tank I don't mind paying premium for U.S. goods.

Not all of their jeans are still made on US soil anymore.

I also have a pair of WG's which I really like, they quality is great. I heard about rivets popping off but I haven't had any problems.Check out tobi.com or blueingreensoho.com

I got a 31... which is the same as both my pair of Average Joe's, but I didn't realize I should have gone 30 in the ES.

pretty sure soaking won't do much, but it gets some lose indigo off if any at all.
i suggest going longer before washing/soaking again. wear as much so there are defined fades so that when you do wash(inside out) the contrast will be sharper.im pretty sure denim bar doesn't allow the coupon coode anymore. i have a few left of apcs if needed.
