Recommendation on Stonewash/light denim (pics)

ffatt · Jun 18, 2011

Note: I already posted this in the I have a jean question thread and did not get a response.

I have looked at the following so far which are the closest to what I am after, but they are not available in my size W32. I prefer selvedge, but non-selvedge of decent quality would not be deal breakers either. There is a pair of Diors out there that I have seen, but $300 is out of my range.

Rag & Bone, APC, etc.

I've seen the Spurr's, they're quite a soft fabric, felt like I was wearing sweatpants.

Nudie does a few of these heavy washed jeans and are usually well done, maybe even selvedge.

APC's got some mid-blue wash NS's from a few seasons ago. i just saw them at Nomad here in Toronto.

Synethese (I think) recently wore some light wash denim that looked ok, PM him.

Thanks for the input whodinie , I probably should have mentioned my luck with those two as well. The APCs are bleached, almost white, and only in Petit Standard (too tight on thighs) and R&B does something like that, but I have not found it yet either. At least my searches have brought up different variations of RAW, O/W or darker fades.

Hi M-C,

Oh wow, did not know SPURRS felt that soft...changing my mind a bit now. Not, that there is much luck of finding them now anyways. I will call up NOMAD to see if they have those, NS would be perfect because the fit on PS on their website (http://store.nomadshop.net/collectio...s/apc-pspntsky) does not work for me.

at least the pair of Spurr's (Leleo here in T.O.) that I tried were really soft, like 7FAM kind of denim... The APC's I'm talking about are not washed out, but are a mid-blue, almost grey blue, see pic below

If you're in the U.S. (not sure if APC sale goes to Canada) you can take advantage of APC sale: NS "Steel Blue" http://uscheckout.apc.fr/browse.cfm/4,1275.html PS "Blue Grey" http://uscheckout.apc.fr/browse.cfm/4,1288.html

Those APCs are quite off from the shades I am after, even the Nudies, though closer, are still a darker shade compared to the examples I posted. My own faded raws look like that, so I am not all that interested in those darker shades.

I saw some light jeans at club Monaco the other day, they felt well constructed

RRL "clear blue" or "new clear blue"

Are those the ones they sell on their website. The Color appears very different in that pic compared to their site. I hope it is the one in the pic then I would definitely be interested even if they are not selvage.

I was thinking about picking up those RRLs as well. How did you size on your pair? I hear for Straight Leg you should go two sizes down and slim boot is TTS?
