Black Raw Denim Jeans

[TheDon]

Im looking for some nice low contrast black raw jeans.

I just got a pair of Cheap Mondays in a greyish black raw and I love the fit but its too high rise.

I want a low rise, skinny to straight fit. Looking for something not too pricey either thanks

What do you consider "not too pricey"?

 

[TheDon]

around $100 or less

If you're willing to spend a bit more you could look into Naked & Famous. Mauro at Farinelli's carries them although his current stock might be low after all his sick-diculous recent sales. They have a black one that retail around $125 or so.

samurai 710 is the benchmark raw black denim IMO

APC NS and N&F blacks are nice as well (the APCs are much darker than the N&F, with a very visible 'streaking').

What about the new fit Levi's 501 STF's in black? They're available all over at around $35.

I'm waiting for Mauro to get the black NS's...

Just picked up Levi's 511 in black. Not raw but great fit for $35.

Does anyone aside from emos/scenesters wear black jeans? i.e., normal people? Haven't had a pair of black jeans in maybe ten years, more than that.

Picked up a pair of Somet 005s from BiG; we'll see what they look like when they get here

i don't know if context still has the KMW x Context 1980, but those are probably the best black jean out there. I might also check out the black Iron Heart's at Self Edge. They are very similar to the KMW's. Nom de Guerre also makes a nice black jean.

Yes. I consider myself normal. I think having at least one pair of black denim in the closet is a "should" have item for a guy.

Yes. Beatniks and metalheads. Really though, they're pretty versatile.
