Sounds like you've already decided on the Oakleys. My thoughts are that they look like a flashy Oakley wayfarer. If that's the style you like it would not take much searching to find some that didn't say "Oakley" across the temple, unless you like that. Also, I think I'd rather wear drugstore shades than Oakleys.

yeah the logo bums me out, but theyre half the cost of the persols...
egay ends in 6min on the frogz.

Yellow MMM Hi Tops from Yoox

toj suede varsity( don't know if I'll have enough for this)

or wait for something else

I need new jeans the most but don't know if I wanna drop retail for the diors...

Go with what you need the most, but if everything was equal I would put the MMMs and TOJ ahead of Diors.

The indigo feel like any other higher than standard light weight raw denim. You may have some problems with quality in the stitching and construction, while the fabrics are quite nice, how they are put together pales in comparison to apc for reference. My indigo's pocket bags on the from pockets wore through and are not completely gone, and the zipper has been replaced twice. The thigh darting stitching tends to break and come undone, i've had it stiched over small openings multiple times now. With that said, I will probably continue to buy them, since I haven't found a better fitting jean anywhere.
How often did you wear your indigo's before problems developed? I rotate through many different pairs of jeans during the week and am easy on my clothing, so hopefully I'll be ok. I agree that the fit is amazing! My black KZOs are the best fitting jeans that I own.

imo DH raws aren't worth the money at all

Kvc06 · Mar 31, 2010

I know, but I've tried sooo many denim cuts and the only ones that seem to fit me right/how I like are APC NC and Dior 19cm

And good point about getting tired of yellow shoes, I do think they might not see much wear.

^Haha

Kit always bringing the hate

Dude don't get yellow shoes, just pickup the classic whites or white grey on eBay / B+S

nicelynice · Mar 31, 2010

ToJ.
How much you gonna wear yellow shoes?
And 19cm just a pair of jeans, unless you're getting them for sub-$200, the ToJ gonna be way more dope

All I'm saying is that you're paying $350 for denim that would be found on $100 jeans, nothing special about the denim and the cut can be had for cheaper. I'm all for coated/distressed DH jeans

hobo_ken · Mar 31, 2010

IME, I haven't found any cut < $200 that is remotely close to the DH 19cm cut. They're either too wide in the thigh or not tapered enough.

If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

nicelynice · Mar 31, 2010

Have you tried APC cuts or, if you're willing to have stretch, Uni-Qlo T-000?

+1

I would still get the MMM trainers over all the things he listed. I have the high tops in blueish gray, and they are my favorite pair of shoes I own... In fact, they are probably my favorite pair of shoes I've ever seen. Everyone always says people screw up tucking their pants in sneakers/boots, but these are surprisingly easy to pull off. They are so, so awesome.
