[sho'nuff]

Anyone who has experience with both of these can you comment on the differences/ your likings/dislikings between the two?

pertaining to the denim quality and construction and long term wear.

poly? etc

In terms of fit, the somets definitely have a lower rise and are slightly more fitted. If I remember correctly, my size 30 somets measured around 8 in the knee and 7.5 inches in the hem, versus my prps tights which measured just under 8.5 in the knee, and 7.5 inches in the hem. Also, the rise on my prps jeans are only about 0.5 inches higher than my somets, but to tell you the truth, the extra length makes all the differently. I really loved my somets but the just couldn't get use to the lowrise, since it felt like my pants were about to fall off ****** everytime I sat down.

In terms of denim color and quality, both are great. The somets feel slightly heavier, and are much stiffer than the prps denim. The prps felt pretty soft when I first wore them (comparable in softness to the slim jim dry japans) versus the somets which were extremely stiff (think stiffer than APC or nom de guerre raw). In terms of color, the somets I believe are darker and have a slight greyish tint to them. Also, the somet's have noticeable darts going down the legs versus the prps which don't.

If I had to choose a pair, I'd probably go with the prps as they're much more comfortable, and are just a better fit for my particular build. You can't really go wrong with both jeans though, as they're both amazing. Hope this helps.

thanks Dan. nice info.

but now i have been reveling in getting a Flat head xSF raw jean.

would you be able to make a description of that one? to me this FH model seems to be in the same ballpark with the other two above in terms of style and fit.
