    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

     As for Nudies, I get mine from http://www.tobi.com/men/nudie-jeans/jeans They are often marked down on that site. You can often find coupon codes and get a discount that way also.

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

     I used to own the APC NS (in indigo and black) and currently own the 3sixteen st-100x. The 3sixteen is a better jean, IMO. The 3sixteen denim feels much higher quality than APC denim. It is more dense (less stretchy), thicker, has a smooth peachy feel inside and out, and is woven in...

    Nudie vs. Naked & Famous

     If the Nudies are 2% elastic, then they are stretch denim. But yeah, they soften up with wear. If you still absolutely can't stand to wear them, soak them in cold water to get rid of the excess starch and hang dry. You should not lose too much dye, so effect on fading will be minimal, IME.

    A.P.C. The official thread for APC denim sizing and other questions.

     I've own both the indigo and black NS at the same time. Correct, the black NS did not stretch as much, is made of a slightly thinner denim, and is not selvedge. It was raw though. In my hands, the black also appeared not to fade much at all compared to the indigos. However, TMK, the black...

    J Crew Watches

     Unlikely. Seiko 5's are pretty reliable. That -10sec/day inaccuracy I mentioned was right out of the box but did not get any worse. My $400 "made in Japan" Seiko (not a 5) also loses 10 secs/day from the day I bought it. This inaccuracy may or may not be of a concern depending on how...

     Marathon GSAR. Around $700 http://www.broadarrow.net/GSAR.htm Marathon also sell a basic field watch with the same dial but plastic body/crystal for less than $100. I doubt if the Timex will give you any accuracy trouble. Despite what alot of high-rolling SF members may say or think...

    J Crew Watches

     I actually have the same watch. It's a Sinn 356, made in Germany. It costs a little more than a Timex, though...over $1400.

    J Crew Watches

     I think the reason for this is that they are not "officially" imported into the US by Seiko, and is therefore a "gray market" item so to speak. Overstock.com usually sells a few of them. If you live in or near a big city, shops in Chinatown usually sell them also. I personally owned a...

    J Crew Watches

    Search Amazon.com for "Timex field watch" There are several watches that look like the J. Crew Timex. The Easy Reader watch mentioned in this thread looks nothing like the J Crew watch, IMO. Examples: http://www.amazon.com/Timex-T40051-Expedition-Classic-Analog/dp/B0000TIISW...

    Best inexpensive jeans?

    I recommend GAP selvege. Full price they are around $90 but they often go on sale. I've seen them on clearance for as low as $30. I own a couple pairs and the quality is remarkably good, IMO.
