funny thing is, you are wrong. You are 42 and you like what 52-year-olds *think* youngsters like. no youngster here likes your ****** $880 jeans

Sorry to pile on Daskb, but you have been duped by these designers into buying trash with a label on it. Desinger trash. Nothing sticks out about any of these jeans...$900? $600? I wouldn't wear any of these if they were free.

This reminds me somewhat of that horrid "Esquire guide to jeans" they had a few months back, where they endorsed Borrellis as the finest jeans available. And I'm sure Borrelli's jeans are infinitely superior to those ass-ugly LVs, Pradas or Dolces.

Still, I might wear the Hermes selvages if I got them for free, they don't look half bad (assuming the cut really is similiar to APC NS, like was mentioned in that other thread). Having said that, they don't look even as good as say Uniqlo selvages, which are like 70. So cost/quality-wise, that's quite possibly the worst denim collection I've ever seen.

That guide to jeans was horrible. And that dudes jean collection sucked. The dolce and gabbanas are ugly as hell. I think it's funny how they plaster logos everywhere, like the plaque on the back pocket. Like that is really necessary.

I looked up the article in question... they actually didn't say Borelli was the best jeans available, they just used it as an example of jeans at that price point. (Although I suppose the fact they feature it at all is an implicit recommendation.)

I'm sure most of them are fine jeans I might very well buy if they cost an order of magnitude less. Of course, things like the subtle shade of color and fit are difficult to discern from photos. The only things I find truly obnoxious are the LV back pocket and the zippered (!) back pocket of the Dolce & Gabbanas-- possibly the most impractical detail I've ever seen.

All these jeans from design houses bear at least some imprimatur of quality, but certainly not enough to offset the "paying for the name" markup. Jeans are not really "fashion" items, and the qualities that set a pair of jeans apart usually involve craftsmanship rather than "design".

You still owe some pics on the other side you jackass.
I believe it was summed up right in that you are a 42 year old (with sad priorities), who dresses like how a 52 year olds perception of what is young....
How about you just sit back and learn before speaking in the future.
