Got $225 to spend, want some jeans to be 'seen' in.

[fudgebutt]

Hey gang, it's time to get your advice. I have some dough to spend on some raw selvedge denim. The thing is, a lot of the best denim out there is a tad nondescript. I want something that will stand out in a bar environment, but I want to keeps it clean.

What are your opinions on...

1. Acne Mic Raw -

My first choice based on the gorgeous deep indigo and fit. However, the stitching isn't too exciting, and I feel that I might want something that stands out a bit more.

2. Evisu Sorinin - http://www.tobi.com/product/13858-ev...color_id=16482

Yeah, not the classiest, but I like the indigo, and it stands out. I wouldn't consider any other evisu jeans because they look like hell.

3. Wesc 5-Pocket Selvedge

A little more understated but still more "fun" than the Acne Mic's.

Although I realize some of these selections are a bit garish, I need them for the bar, so style counts for a lot and I'm not interested in ****** mall brands like R&R. Imperials have cool pocket stitching too, but are a bit heavy duty for me. Help me out here.

Acne Mic Rigid for the win. They're my everyday jeans and have broken in nicely.

If you're looking for something that stands out a little more check out Atelier LaDurance. They've got some interesting stitching and I like their leather patch.

Are there any lower-cost alternatives to the Mic Raw's? It's a very nondescript/classic cut. When APC NS's are $155, is it worthwhile to go all out for the Mic's?

I know the mic's will be badass, but perhaps there's an even better solution out there...

Just letting you know that if your jeans don't have arcuates that people (women) recognize, it won't stand out for ****. Congratulations on being a tool.

Just buy Diors and figure out a way to bring it up during conversation

buy some diesels - they'll make your ass look good guaranteed, people know what they are, quality is top notch - i've never had a pair of diesels even pop a stitch

I'm going to be all "**** popularity" and recommend you get some KMWs from Mauro.

(I think it'd be a better use of your $225, assuming the discount still stands)

Is the $225 a strict budget? These come out to $282.12...probably closer to $300 when its all said and done. You can probably find them for sale somwhwere else in Europe, but Context is the only U.S. seller I know of and they are sold out. But as Stazy said, ALD is really nice with good details, Prescott is a good cut, and it definitely has an intersting back pocket /patch

i recommend a pair of Pure Blue Japan xx005 they are $225 at Blue in Green by the way.

nice slim straight cut but with a slubby nice blue color that will stand out.

Get yourself a pair of Imperials from Self Edge: http://www.selfedge.com/shop/index.p...75b5223470c7be

It's a little more than 225 (265) but the jeans are supposed to be pretty nice and the stitching certainly stands out.
