Corpus or Nudie for Selvage Jeans?

[sidenote]

I want to buy a pair of selvage jeans - do I buy this pair of Corpus or the Nudie? I think I like the black a bit better and was trying to find some APC, but they all look pretty tight, even for a skinny lanky dude like me.

I like the straight svens. My friend has a pair. They are pretty solid.

Last I checked, Corpus didn't make selvage jeans. That said, you can get the Fine (similar fit to the Sven) for around a hundred bucks less. Personally, I like them better, as they aren't as loud as the Nudies, with their back pocket stitching.

I like Nudie better. Their backpocket stitching can be removed. With Corpus, you're stuck with their weird ass pocket designs.

nudie better than corpus...

the backpocket stitching is fine get over it..

if you remove the stitching, you notice that the pockets are extremely long.

I would go as far to remove the pleather patch while you're at it.

Seconded. The black and red one on the Average Joe Black Selvage is particularly ugly.

the corpus denim your looking at is RAW but not Selvage where as the Nudies are both.

IMO I'd go with the nudies.

Ack, I was looking at the raw ones instead of the selvage ones below - I am an idiot. In any case, sounds like Nudie is the way to go - thanks all.

Nudie ftw (obviously you can tell my response from my nick). Their cuts and fits are great.

Not anymore. Now they use normal back pockets and they just have one line of stitching that looks like a backwards version of the PDC J stitching. These have quickly become one of my favorite jeans brands, due to fit, simplicity, and price.

Hmmm...I haven't looked at them for over a year. I saw them at Stel's in Boston when they were supposedly new to the US. I just couldn't get past the stupid back pockets. I'll take a look next time.

but I liked the weird ass pocket design. It's actually more functional that way.....

I really like Corpus's new pocket design. Saw a pair on Revolve, and for $150, they seem like nice jeans.
