[heeblet]

What would you get in your jeans and what would you pay for them if it were up to you?

Cool Graphic. Vote? This isn't for my self esteem, I know someone who makes this **** and was hoping to get some input for them.

straight leg is the only cut of the 3 which people here like. not many here are into any form of boot cut.

what about slim straight, skinny, and antifit?

What is vintage fit? Is that a loose and high rise jean? I generally favor straight fits (usually regular straight to slim straight, no to baggy and skinny straight), no real preference between cone or japanese denim. But then, I am a sale-seeker and will take whatever I can get cheap.

Slim straight, buy the denim yourself for a grand total of $30 for 2 yards, take it to a tailor.

Of course, I'm a cheapskate who doesn't like paying $250 extra for denim that costs $20 more. But what do I know? I prefer jeans that fit and don't sag off ******.

Vintage fit is relaxed and bigger up top, tapered below the knee. I kinda hate it, but its' coming back.

I like that response. It generally costs a lot more for tailoring than $20 especially if they don't have a pattern. I know a place that can clone the fit of another jean, and make one from it with whatever fabric you supply but that costs quite a bit.

http://www.denimsandjeans.com/denim-...ends-analysis/ http://www.denimsandjeans.com/denim-...llwinter-2010/ Interesting articles that makes me want to puke about denim trends. Oh God, please don't bring back those fits. Also please don't bring back 80's acid washes and light blue's and crap.

every option you listed exists already, so please don't bother making it again

slim fit, slight taper and cinch back...

its his attempt at a very narrow (but free!) marketing survey.

At $300 w/jp denim, you're going to have a hard time competing.

Cone at $180, straight cut (i'd prefer to see slim straight,) with nice features and cool hardware (copper rivets, leather patch, chainstitched hems, etc.) Basically an ande whall copy, and he's doing well, I'm wearing some cone Ande's now and they are bad ass jeans.

this has already been brought back by the skateboard community since last year, ironically mostly worn by kids born in 90ish

edit: and to actually give some input, I'd like to see slim straight jeans made in USA of USA denim, available in a true 28. A lot of companies 28's actually measure to 29, and then stretch out to a 30 in a week or 2, leaving us petite guys **** out of luck and either going to shittier denim a la APC or paying $250-$300 for japanese denim.
