At the moment the spot looks faded away (erm... yeah about that). Is there anything I could do to remove it without washing? Or keep wearing and hope that it fades away?

There's always the dry cleaning route.

I need help deciding should I go with a pair of APC NS or DIOR Homme 19CM in Indigo?

If your budget says you can afford the dior's then go that route but, IMO, there is certainly nothing wrong with the APC NS. NS's were my first pair of raw denim and they've served their purpose well.

 

[PG2G]

Yeah, NS is like half the price of Dior

More like 1/3 price...

(Assuming you get the APC from Denimbar and the Diors from thegrapist) APC NS $125/Dior 19cm $385 whodini is the winner. If you are just getting into raw denim, I suggest getting the NS first. $400 bucks to drop on a pair of jeans is steep especially if you don't know if its your thing yet.

Hi you guys, Looking to get some raws for my newbie brother, He likes some-what loose. I don't want to scare him away with nut hugging tight, Maybe one size down on apc's or anything similar. Thanks for listening to my rant.

whodini is the winner.

That's cheating, taking away from the NS and adding to the Dior price Dior MIJ is $330, APC NS is $155. I win

sf discount ^.^

Since the dior reselling bubble burst you can normally find a pair of dior mijs from $250-325 nowadays if you stalk the supermarket or here for a week or two.

Anyone know any Japanese jeans that have a fit very similar to APC NS?

Cheers

With Flash:

These looked better that I expected. Oddly enough they still remain distinct because of the Nudie tag and the long pocket design. I take it you took the embroidery out before you wore them much right?

Uniqlo makes raw selvage jeans for under 100. 80 something.

I really love the color of my 5EP LDB and want a similar color for another pair. Some people have suggested RRL. What other jeans have a dark blue-green hue?
