Need help finding...

[sho'nuff]

Sorry, did I break streetwear/ denim rule?

I tried searching and searching and it is very hard to pin down where to get what i want...


Here are a couple of photos of jeans I am looking to get , not specifically, but something close to it.

Any premium brand that has a very heavy thick denim that is in that pure , rich medium-blue color with that obvious contrasting whiskering and honeycombing (but tastefully done) in a slim ,straight leg (or boot cut) , fade on thigh and seat for depth-look. not skinny jeans though.
anything under 300 dollars.

Thanks for any help!

Brian, are you looking to buy something raw that will whisker and fade over time with colors similar to the picture, or are you looking to buy something that is pre-broken in?

If the former, based on relatively limited experience, 5EP might be a good choice. I have the LDB's, and I think they're close to what you're looking for.

nice to know you are into this too LD.

i would like preferably something that is pre-broken in by the manufacturer like the PRPS in the second photo. although the nudie in the first photo is exemplary.

Have you looked at the other offerings from Nudie Jeans? Yoox has a bunch in various washes for good prices right now: http://www1.yoox.com/searchresult.as...tskay/3FD17CD7

Based on how they look on their models, I'm guessing that most of the cuts will be the Bootcut Ola's or the Regular Ralf's.

No they aren't. They were purchased as raw jeans, PRPS "New Fit" if my memory serves correctly. The awesome contrast is due to months of hard wear and some washing.

I don't think it's made anymore, but Nudie had a wash called "True Blue" that looked a lot like the top pic

I havent seen that wash in a couple years so I dont think it's around anymore

To be fair, 5EP also makes an excellent washed jean.

thank you for your info everyone. that is interesting the PRPS is worn in from raw.
although that is fine , i can do that, but

most 'raw' jeans i see are usually that really dark indigo /midnight blue color.

what i am looking for is that soft , rich mid-blue color like in the photos.

or
is that the color it turns to when raw indigo? dark midnight blue gets broken in?

robin, if i wear a 32x32 in most jeans,

what size would i be getting in Nudies above ? they seem to be all 34 length; do they run short?
i had the trouble of a PRPS jean have the honeycombing behind the knee fall on my calf because it was slightly longer than 32 true.

Yes sir, with aggressive wearing and after washing.

Getting jeans to look like that is the whole point of raw denim for many...

Anyway, here's a nice looking pair of washed Eternals: http://supertalk.superfuture.com/sho...postcount=1205

Also, these 45rpm in the Buying & Sale forum look pretty nice, i think. Images are blocked at work They are probably your size too...

In my experience, most of the inseams on Nudies run true to size.

I hear 5EPs fade nicely, but I'll be damned if i can find pics, and mine stretched out like crazy to the point that sometimes I feel like i'm wearing some parachute pants because i got used to my much tighter straight svens, so I don't find myself wearing them often to have them broken in yet

Those are both broken in raw jeans with somewhere around 7-8 months under their belt and a few washes.
One looks like a Nudie RRDS, the other a Prps New Fit. You can't manufacture honeycombs and whiskers like that. Tell-tale signs these aren't pre-wash jeans: what looks like a zippo or something in the coin pocket on the Nudies, the wallet fade with a little "bump" on it (most likely a little label or rivet or something on the wallet) on the Prps.
You can get some pretty decent washed jeans, but I doubt you'll find anything that looks close to these two.
