Hey, I've been lurking around here for a while but finally decided to jump into the conversation.

Does anyone know of any inexpensive brands that sell a slim fit, very light wash jeans like the ones here? I believe the ones shown are the Acne Max Portobello. I've tried the usual mall brands like Gap, Banana Republic, J Crew, and H&M but none of them seem to have anything similar.

Thanks

i really haven't seen anything that light. Really, though, I think that look would be better with something dark. To throw out a basic style, the APC New Standard.

try h&m or uniqlo. both have slim fits and sell a bunch of different washes. and they are both pretty cheap (around $50).

edit: just realized you said you tried h&m. you might be out of luck with places like that since light wash jeans are normally found spring/summer with darker shades in fall/winter and of course, most places have fall/winter already.

Thanks for all the help. I found a pair on Uniqlo's website that looks really close and I'll probably get those. For those interested, the page for them is here and its the 4th color from the left.
