So who's rocking 501s or repros?

[knucks]

Question for you guys, how low do you wear the jeans? I have the 501xx STF and if I don't wear them high on my waist, the butt bunches up and it looks really flat (if I wear em low).

Did i get a too big of a size or whats up?

501s have a high rise, and an anti-fit seat. If you want a more modern cut you should have gotten APCs or something.

I decided to give the raw jeans a go and the low-priced ones were the 501 stf. My next pair will be APCs, but not until I can find a store to try em on at. I don't like the idea of ordering jeans w/o trying them on.

you wont find a pair of APCs in the fit you are looking for maybe rescues depending on your size. get a pair of Nudie Ralfs

Ralfs may be a little pricey compared to APC's since budget seems to be an issue. APC's are a good call, they are relatively nice quality denim, and they are definitely a great price. If you can though, just save while you truly beat the hell out of the 501's and get some really nice ones next. Maybe a nice repro or something depending on the fit you want.

Yeah, this is how I wear my Premium E 501's (I don't cuff 'em anymore, just let it bunch up on top of my sneaker).

Although the 1947 501 LVC apparently have a much fit.

ok... first thing, did you wash them yet? if not that could be part of it.

if you are sagging them, then you will have that **********, due to the anti-fit.

i wear mine on my hip bone. no ass problems, but i wear lee repros, so i dont know hom much more anti fit the levis are. ive had vintage redlines tho, and wearing them the same i never had that problem, tho ****** may just be bigger than yours.

I washed them first thing I got them to have them shrink to me somewhat. When I wear them on my hips they're not too bad, I get like ass creases though.

I really like low-rise jeans tho, any "cheap" selvage ones i can get for that?

I was looking at H&Ms "Nudie Fakes" that seemed good, but i'm not sure. I kind of want to get iinto the whole selvage jean thing, so hm

Is there a reason, exactly, why you want selvage? Coz they will feel the same as a non-selvage pair of jeans. And if its to cuff them to show them off, its not the wisest choice to cuff a pair of RAW selvedge: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=20994

I've never had a pair of selvage, I just want one to KNOW I have a pair. I don't cuff my jeans.

I don't understand why there's this sudden fascination with all things selvage. It has almost no practical impact on anything. Sonick: those look like New Standards to me, not Rescues, which would make them not selvage. Not that it really matters.

new standards are selvage also.. unless I misunderstand you.

 

[Arethusa]

I thought Rescues were but New Standards weren't? I may have mixed that up with New Cures or something.

my new standards are most definitely selvage.

not sure about the new cures, however.
