You can always just buy additional bands, and switch them out when you need to.

Still looking for nice jawns to wear in Junya-inspired fits. Could I do better for $165?

Yah im pretty sure a pair of washed levis would look better than those at a fraction of the price.

I have 501s and 514s that look almost exactly like that. The 514s are cut just a bit closer to the cut, but the old 501s are faded to look nearly identical (except they finally wore through at the knee the other day, so now I guess there is a whole in them).

You could do better for $40. Those look like bootcuts with bells palsy. those aren't stacks, they are sharpei.

Lolz. I'm open to Levi's, Gap, or any other cheap stuff, but I'm yet to see a light wash pair that doesn't look like total ****. Did you have a specific pair of $40 jeans in mind?

Thats because almost all light washes look like **** compared to darker denim. If you want a pair of light jeans it's pretty par for the course.

I always get roped into Gap comments but I guess if it were me I'd wait and see what Gaps denim relaunch brings next month.

Light blue always looks pretty indistinguishable until you get to PRPS level stuff. For what you posted, I'd either save up and go big or save yourself some money and get a $50 pair that looks identical.

Personally I think those washed acnes look fantastic and the cut is great especially for your build.

I think rye has some kill city jeans that looked pretty dope that are washed, possibly cheaper if he wants to chime in here. Check one of his past few fits.
