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.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the majority of light-washed jeans. Really not at all.
