I am really tempted to kick off the new year with a new pair of jeans..this is what I have it narrowed down to:

Nudie Regular Ralf (maybe the greycast because I don't really care for selvage and would save some money..)
Edwin Ed-47 (not sure of the fit tho..unlike the Ralf)
Imperial King/Duke (not sure if the backpockets are too big though..)
APC Rescue

Any thoughts? I don't want to spend more than $220

All of those are fairly different.

I would go for the ralf, but not the greycast. Selvage doesn't equal good jeans, but Nudie's selvage denim is way nicer than their regular or greycast denims.

Good choice. Out of everything I own, the RRDS gets way more attention than all the other bastards, including LVC, APC, R&B, 45rpm, etc.,.

Despite Nudie getting some well earned hate, the RRDS is a great pair of jeans. You won't be disappointed.
