5ep....WOW

[Stylin-1]

I got my resin low down boots today from Brett at Dresscodes. When I first took them out of the package, my first reaction was that they were pretty nice jeans. It wasn't until I got them under the light that I was blown away by the rich, deep indigo. Hidden rivets, awesome selvage, these jeans are insane, quality wise and the 30's fit me perfectly. I'm glad I only sized down one. And the bootcut is so subtle, like 17". If you want to grab a pair at a really great price, call Brett at 404-343-2894. He still has some left. Thanks Dude.

how much?

what size do you wear in APC NS or RRDS?

 

[drizzt3117]

I believe they're $160. 5EP low down boots fit the same as RRDS and you'd want to size up 1 from APC NS.

thanks. Oh, are they completely dry? could you point me to some pics online?

Yep.....$170 shipped. My RRDS are 30 also. The RRDS were actually about a quarter to a half inch larger in the waist initially, but are now around 32.5. The Nudies were much tighter in the thighs at first but have stretched to about where the 5EP's are to begin with. I recommend sizing the same as RRDS.

Nope.....one wash resin. Do a search for 5EP here, there are a few pics from the for sale forum I believe. I'll try to get some pics up soon. They're quite understated, but the denim and quality is off the hook.

****...I did get the last 30! But I know a guy here who bought 30's from OAK and they were too small! I'll PM you with his info. He was willing to sell them to me for like $193 I believe. Still a hell of a deal. People pay $300 inc. tax for these.

Thanks for the shout.

The 5ep's are totally understated, and most people just overlook 'em.

Sorry out of 30 but sill have 31-36.

Brian (the other mod) was the guy who got me onto these. The first pairs I saw were the authentic cut in a light wash (at American Rag about 3 years ago) and I was not that impressed byt the wash, so never really inspected them. Then I saw the 1 wash resins and the raws, and I was hooked. This days, my raw (well, washed several time now) bootcuts. The resin one wash and the raw have different texture, and the color of the resins has a slightly more grey cast than the raws. The construction and denim are terrific - on par with jeans from the best Japanese companies. Savage, I've read about your store. Welcome.

5EP > APC in terms of quality?

5EP more or less > everything in terms of quality. They're on par with 45R from what I've seen. LA Guy, where are 5EP raws available anyways, only Famous Friends?

Yeah, I should actually wear my 5EPs more but I want them to stay nice and dark, probably the most versatile jeans I own, can be dressed up or down easily.
