I'm not really looking for a skinny fit. I think slim looks just fine on me. I can carry the skinny jeans look, but I already have one dirty ol' Levis for that purpose
Anyway there aren't any raws in the 17.5 fit I think. I will do my own tapering if I wanted a 17.5 |

I PMed immediately after you posted. He told me it was sold within 1 minute. It was a once in a lifetime find
If you ever see a sz 27 or 28, do let us know I don't lurk there as often |

I went to Musa and looked at the Naked and Famous as well as Cheap Mondays.
Maybe I am a denim phillistine or just plain stupid, but in what way are the N&Fs superior to the lowly Uniqlos? I was expecting something more, but they do not appear to me perceptibly better than the jeans I was wearing. I will readily admit that some of the Evisu's I've handled are truly incredible -- there is just no arguing that they are quality first, cost second. But Musa I left rather unimpressed. Can someone tell me why they think Uniqlo MiC selvedges are low-end? BTW I like how generic and unbranded my jeans look: ![]() Added on March 13, 2011, 12:34 am QUOTE(Calvin Seak @ Mar 8 2011, 06:06 PM) Here are some of the fit pictures I have promised, Sorry for being really busy but here it goes I think the fits evidenced here are good for sperm count and nothing else.

QUOTE(kotmj @ Mar 13 2011, 12:13 AM) I went to Musa and looked at the Naked and Famous as well as Cheap Mondays. easy...uniqlo is a less exclusive brand as compared to naked and famous...it is like comparing topman jeans with samurai or momotaro jeans....as much as uniqlo claim that the MIC selvage is made by kaihara denim but it is from the lowest range of denim from the kaihara production...whereas the ones use for naked and famous is way much superior....try buying both and wear em in the same duration...u can see the difference in feel and quality after a few wear...plus another obvious reason is...one is made in mass number in china of cheap labour and the other is exclusivly made in canada...unless if u compare the MIJ with all the japan made components with the naked and famous then it make sense....Maybe I am a denim phillistine or just plain stupid, but in what way are the N&Fs superior to the lowly Uniqlos?

First of all, Uniqlo is known for its affordability, that is why it is much cheaper than N&F. And I mean cheap and affordable as cheap and affordable - no other meaning. Money-wise.
People start judging cheap = "cheap" and lower quality. That may be true, I don't know, cause I haven't felt or tried one on before. Second thing is, Uniqlo usually make their jeans with 11-12oz denim, which can't take any beating, it's like wool trousers. You'll have to baby them if you still wanna be wearing that 3 years from now. To have lifetime lasting jeans you need to go for anything like 14oz and above denim from manufacturers that have proven it - SugarCane, IronHeart, TripleWorks and maybe LVC (not sure how well Levis Vintage Clothing do on toughness). They will be stiff as hell, but will wear in very well. They will take rough wear much better than Uniqlos. One thing about Uniqlos is that they are super thin - for selvedge denim standards. I don't know if they do really go through the hassle of giving it tighter weaves to make it a true strong selvedge denim, because from all accounts I've read, they seem to be damn thin and wears out after 1 year (of almost everyday wear). But I've never found N&F impressive. I tried two on. Both fits didn't impress me. The quality didn't impress me either. Felt paper thin, but stiff. Thin but stiff wtf. Cheap Mondays were named the way they were for a reason - to be affordable. They gave people who don't want to drop 500 dollars on jeans, a lifeline. But after all's said and done, different people go for different stuff. We all earn different dough, some of us are more willing to cough up more dough for shit we think is beautiful to us. Like well, Uniqlos are good for summer-all-year-round Malaysia, so its all good. Added on March 13, 2011, 7:05 pmGood shit I found. http://www.thedenimdoctor.co.uk/3.html I don't know what hell these people go through. Jeez.. that's crazy to be able to break jeans like that just by wearin it plain n simple. And so many people break their jeans until there was enough demand for someone to go around in a Mini Cooper being a denim doctor. These little things make this world a little weirder and more exciting everyday This post has been edited by Grimm: Mar 13 2011, 07:09 PM |
