what jeans to sell

[Ott]

I've been turned off from the Rag & Bones I've seen lately. Pressed whiskers and/or lycra = a big no from me, and I love my old RB11s

I'd go for KMW.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I love some of the RBs I've owned, like my current deadstock RB2s, but the quality has gone down lately

Probably in the same category as KMW, but Skull would be worth a look too. They have a good range of different cuts, from very slim to regular, plus their other clothing looks pretty awesome too. I love my 5010XX's, having a European seller would be most handy

Skulls are a good suggestion.

How about getting some Pure Blue's in?

Do may shops in Europe do Earnest Sewn? I know it's not exactly like the others mentioned, probably not quite the same construction quality, and different cuts, but they are very easy to wear. Plus, if they aren't everywhere in Europe, it would be something different you could do. Otherwise, I feel like KMW would be a great bet, based on the overall style you seem to be carrying.

5EP is really good, but the straight leg cut is a tough sell, much like the Sugarcanes (higher rise, somewhat antifit through the seat and thighs), and unfortunately, a lot of fashionista's are very anti-bootcut at the moment (although, 5 years in, the trend will swing around again.) The 5EPxSF is a good, saleable cut (especially in Europe, with the slimmer seat and slightly lower rise, and slighlt tapered leg,) but unfortunately, the run is very limited, and the orders are all in. However, I would definitely look at 5EP for the future. The denim and hardware is spectacular.Kicking Mule is good. The denim is not as complex as the 5EP denim, but their are a number of cuts to appeal to a variety of customers. I really like the Nom de Guerre jeans as well. All the above in a really high price bracket, however.

For an easier to sell jean, I would say that Rag&Bone is the way to go. Plus, if you get a Rag&Bone account, you can get the really spot on collection (which, incidentally, should also sell well.)

Iron Heart is Kiya's best-seller at Self Edge, I believe (probably due partly to his being the only North American distributor). I like my IHs very much.

 

[Superb0bo]

pace sounds good to me. Depends on the profile of the rest of your stuff. Iron Heart aswell.

http://www.ringxring.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=20 Giles from ironheart.co.uk also doesn flathead and in this post is looking for non US/japanese retailers for flathead (there is another post for ironheart as well) Giles is a good dude. I suggest contacting him if you're serious about flathead/ironheart.
