I got a pair of the Impala Boot Cut Dark Wash and I love them. My favorite pair of jeans I own right now.

Gilt is known for not showing alot of things that should be shown in photos. that is how they got so much of my shipping payments and turned alot of my hard earned cold hard cash into store credits.

Really? I'd say they do a pretty good job of showing details, especially considering it's a different sale every day. I went back and looked and the patch was there. It was just kind of hard to see on black jeans. But yeah, I've got about $600 in credits too. I'm sure they won't last long though.

I remember a bit of a following of the raw ones on SuFu a couple of years ago. One of the members there had a great pair. One of the guys who got lots of "rep" for his denim. I want to say DDML, (who is on here) but m not sure.

PRPS01AA?
P29P01AA?

it looks like its p47p27x

Ok, I take back my comment about them never fading. I've never heard of the P47P23x and googling the style number really doesn't work.

I think it may be the one the new wax coated rinse models (something like that) for S/S 2009, no sure though.

update: looks like i have these http://www.tobi.com/product/16729-pr...944#ref=plroll they are wrinkled and soft.... the model # is p47p27x which does not exactly match up with the tobi model but close?? they are def not as stiff as regular raw denim.. do all prps come soft like this?

donwan harrell who founded prps also founded the mall brand akademiks. not sure how much i would want to buy into that pedigree.

i think PRPS are pretty well established that they use quality denim. it has some nice slub to it as well.

i think it was ringring's first post on sufu----he was looking for prps in london poly800rock is the epeener with the prps fade

 

[grooveholmes]

Yeah, not a fan of the distressed stuff, though I don't doubt the quality of the craftsmanship. I like the fact that they're doing the "relaxed" look, but it just isn't for me. The raw stuff is where it's at, no doubt.

 

[spacemanvt]

does anyone know if PRPs twill pants in general stretch much?
i got some from the gilt sale and they are a size big but if they dont stretch much they will be ok.
they seemed to be washed pretty heavily already...

Quick question, I have laways turned away from PRPS because I like my cuts more on the slim side, I know they make the 'tight fit' and the 'rambler' how ever I cann never find them to try on.... today I ended up trying on a pair of Barracuda for the hell of it at Barneys and they were really quite slim. Do the Barracudas and other cuts come in varying slimness?

I have seen online and on Gilt sales that sometimes it will say, 'Barracuda 'slim' or 'relaxed' etc.

Barracudas don't have any variance, they are a specific cut.
