Acne Jeans

[Orange]

are acne jeans even selvedged? They're just really well made jeans but not normally the sort that SFers would wet themselves over.

Nope. No selvage, which is a little disappointing, but the construction and durability seem fine, regardless. Edit: I do think the early collections had some selvage options

I've been brought up to speed on the matter.

my max raw are my favorite pair of jeans, I've had them since Feb 2007 and wear them several times a week.

I wear inbetween a 31 and 32 waist. I bought the 32 and should have bought the 31 but the stretch wasn't too bad. I'm looking for a pair of 31x36 during the Guilt sale.

Wow. If it wasn't blown before, the spot certainly got some hoover treatment from Mr. Rye just now.

FWIW,

I hate this whole idea of "Not blowing up spots." Part of the point of being in a community like Styleforum is the free exchange of information. I endorse the blowing up of spots.

 

[redgrail]

Depends on the situation. I was once stalking an item on ebay for a week that had not received much attention. It was significantly underpriced (the only way I could afford it). Spot was blown (somewhere else) and immediately people outbid me by well over a thou. I was outpriced. I was angry. People who had not worked for a long time to gain the information that I had were served *my* lobster on a silver platter.
The one in this thread is kind of silly, though. It's fairly well known here and has been mentioned many times.

In short: I encourage the free exchange of information, but discourage blowing of spots of individual items, especially in bidding situation. But if someone wants their spot to remain unblown, I generally respect that without questioning it too much.

^Careful or it will start some drama here like the whole "dibs" bullshit on StyleZeitgeist.

 

[Stazy]

I tried signing up for Gilt today and could not. It would appear that Canadians are not welcome. At any rate, I still dibs any and all Acne Mic Rigid jeans with size 30 waist.

 

[redgrail]

No drama necessary.
I claimed all the 30w Mic Rigids through flag planting a long time ago, Stazy. We can settle this in a civilized manner: duel to the death. En garde!
