I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

[ManofKent]



I'm 6'2 1/2 and 170 pounds.  Looking for a pair of jeans under $100.  Must be slim fit and a dark wash. Size should be 32/32 or 33/32  FYI: Levi's jeans are not an option.

Any help is great.

Thank you!

Uniqlo Made in Japan?

Uniqlo Made in Japan?

A Japanese firm yes, but I believe most of their manufacturing is in China and other parts of Asia like Gap, Inc.

under 100? what about slim gap selvedge new (if you don't mind fades coming in slow) or look at what's available in b/s? I think I saw some nudies there for like $70-$80ish.

gap

not sure why youd suggest gap over unbranded....but unbranded are $78-98

true. buttons kinda suck on unbranded, but denim itself is pretty solid esp for the price.

Looking for a pair of denim that fit like APC NS but with a higher rise. Doesn't need to be raw denim, but can be. Should be <$200.

Suggestions?

Bump.

biggskip check 3Sixteen SL Line. i know it fits very similiar to the APC NS's but without the ridiculous stretch. not sure how the crotch measurement compares...

Budget? If got money to blow....I lusted after these for a while

Ironheart 666sod (overdyed indigo, like black)


Or for a bit more than APC...


SL-220x - Double Black Denim - Straight Leg

I've had my eye on the OD as well. I went with the superblack III jacket. One day I'll pair it with the jeans too.

Looking for my first pair of premium denim jeans. Looking for < $250. Basically, I'm starting to put together a good SW&D wardrobe
after wasting time trying to dress like those over in MC since joining SF. Want the first pair of be a dark wash. I'm 5'4, 150 pounds, athletic build.

I've looked at N&F jeans on Blue Owl but I have no knowledge of what would be good or not. Have heard that I should size down.

The Momotaro jeans on there look incredible but I don't know if I should spend that much on a first pair.

Oh, i was just thinking of the first thing off tthe top of my head. I know nothing about unbranded, though i do know that gap is pretty prevalent and can be had for dirt cheap.

What is the go to when it comes to high rise denim? Up to $300 preferably $250>; Thinking some LVC but would like a high a rise as possible

Those N&Fs look pretty cool. They'll probably fade like the red cores - http://www.nakedandfamousdenim.com/blog/fading-contest-2-results/ - but bright blue instead of red. As far as sizing, the actual waist measurement is listed. As long as they're sanforized they won't shrink much. Still try them on if at all possible.

No reason to spend more than you're comfortable with on a pair of jeans.

Momotaro 0201/0901, Ande Whall Cougar/Buffalo, and Iron Heart 1955S all have a high rise and measurements are readily available. LVC also but the inseam always ends up too short for me.

What do you guys think about hand-woven / hand-loom denim?
Is it more exclusive than most denim or its quite simply just like other denim?
