Probably would've sized down more, but that's just me.

Looks pretty loose in the top block. You might want to think about a slimmer cut. How does it fit at your waist? Are you able to button it all the way?

That's a thought, I've heard good things about them. But I've also heard that they might not last as long as some of the other brands---is this true?

Crate has really changed in the past two years that this forum has known about them; changed for the better.

what do you think of the fit? im thinking i maybe could have sized down one

I agree that you should try a slimmer cut for your body type.

Man, the back pockets are really long and square on those things. I understand the favorable comparisons to New Standards as far as price and quality, but I still think that APC has a better design. That said, I still haven't seen any great fit pics of the Routes. I've seen the pictures from Revolve, Context, and Farinelli's but they all have that brand new baggy jeans hanging off super skinny mannequin legs look. Are there any good photos of Routes worn by actual dudes out there? I've seen a few super-close ups here on the forum, but that's about it.

tonio048's Routes can be seen here: http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...&postcount=148

adamha had a fit pic in the post right below, but its no longer viewable anyhow.

There're some other fit pics in the old Crate thread too.

blehhhh

one pant leg on my Levi STFs are a 1/2" shorter than the other.. they were this way before I shrank them too, I think. What should I do?

TheTakeover · Mar 27, 2009

I dont see a website for them online and I want an average price. If there is an online store, please provide. But what is their average price on jeans?

xchen · Mar 27, 2009

$210-$225 for raw jeans

DBoon · Mar 27, 2009

Button ups are like $150 retail.

I think it falls on the wrong end of the value spectrum

EDIT: Barney's Co-Op carries it now

TheTakeover · Mar 27, 2009

Any place to buy online? Besides ebay

Tim_Whatley · Mar 27, 2009

today a salesman tried to tell me that there is a difference between raw and dry denim. is there? what is it?
thanks

xchen · Mar 27, 2009

Not really. Most retailers that carry it (about 10 or 15 nationwide) only get a few pieces of the collection, which is usually pretty big. If you are a size small and are looking to get some I have a bunch of stuff from past seasons that I am trying to unload. Just send me a PM if you want to talk more about it.

aqhong · Mar 28, 2009

^ There isn't. Raw, dry, rigid, unwashed, etc, all mean the same thing. Different companies just use different names.
