finding the right pair of jeans?

[bunky]

hey sorry im new here, thats why its my first post im looking to find a nice
pair of jeans. Ive been looking around for awhile but I have never had the
cash to spend on a nice pair of japanese denim. But i figured they'll do me
good. Im looking for a dark blue and not over 200$ hopefully around 170$
and less ive been looking for about a couple weekes now and I saw a pair
of nudies but didnt like them so much. Does anyone have any tips?

im about 5'11 5'10
size:32

I'm new to high-end denim but I'm pretty sure most would suggest APC New Standards.

ill give that fourm a quick look over, I haven't seen it before. But what are the thoughts of the Good Society Slim Leg in Indigo http://www.denimbaronline.com/store/...ARTMENT_ID=38#

I've always considered APCs (besides nudies) to be the stepping stone for people newer to raw denim.

well i was looking at the APC NS slim but im not looking for a tight jean and they
seem to be what im looking for but any nudies out there around the same price
just nothing over 170. Im looking for just skinny but not skin tight or tight enough
to be sticking to my legs. any suggestions?

thanks for the help!

You could try a variant of the Slim Jim? But I think the APC would be the better choice for you.

Just curious - what was the issue with the Nudies?

 

[aerether]

I've read that their crotch areas tend to blow out much faster than other jeans. I've never owned a pair of Nudies myself (went straight for APC, SF-style), so I couldn't say from experience.

But whatever cut of jeans makes you happy.

ah...

crotch fades = hardcore rocker in my book, especially on skin-tights; who cares if there are rips (possibly even better?

Bunky if you want to try a pair of skinny, I have a brand new pair of good society men slim in raw. I am selling it for 49 dollars.
It is a tagged size 29 but should fit very snugly a size 31-32 waist

PC New Standards are only as tight as you want them to be. The more you size down, the tighter they'll fit. I think you shouldn't have a problem with them and if you buy them from the Denim Bar with the 20% SF discount, you'll spend even less than you wanted to...

dont mean to shamelessly plug, but Twelve Bar's Newman Raw Selvedge fits your price point very well, and quite frankly the denim is clean... check it out for yourself

Nudie has a serious problem with holes in general. I've never seen a pair that was a year old without at least one hole somewhere. The crotch also does seem to blow out much quicker in Nudie than any other brand I've seen. This is why I will never purchase Nudie, and keep it off my radar completely. Plus they are over priced.

keep your eyes open for sales on the marketplace and you might get a real steal. There were flatheads that were 170 just a little while ago. PBJ's and skulls hover around 200, and could slip down to your price range depending. Other than that, APC's of course, NS for a slim cut
