Added on September 21, 2011, 4:59 pmIt is Pure Blue Japan =) and i begged to differ...i dunno if the rest of you would agree but i am confident to say that Pure Blue Japan and as of other Japanese selvage denim has a far more superior texture as compared to brand such as Guess etc =)

Plus there are no other denim brands out there in the market besides certain Japanese denim brand has a super slubby texture like my Pure Blue Japan here =)

How isit compared to True Religion denim?

help! how do i remove stains from my raw denim????
urgent advice needed.

I think it would help if u specify what kind of stain are u referring to bro!! different stain needs different treatment! im sure the sifus in this thread will be able to help you! btw, is its food stain which contains oil, what i did was suck the stain using my mouth. The saliva in the mouth would be able to resolve the food material from the denim. Just my 2cents

sorry bro. food stains. somebody spilled curry all over me. fml.
saliva huh? how exactly?

Something to do with how the enzyme in the saliva works on food. There should be a more proper way to deal with this. Have you tried to ask uncle google?

hi guy..just wondering..whre can i get a nudie jeans ? thanks..

You ever wonder why if your fingers are greasy from food.. washing it with water will take so long while suckign on it would leave it squeaky clean?

Same idea.

thanks guys. so salivary amylase will do the trick?
how bout the smell?
thanks again in advanced.

You can send them for a dry clean.

There is a so called hierarchy when comparing superiority and quality of current denims. The highest ranks includes those like current Japanese super denim like momotaro, eternal, samurai, the flat head, pure blue japan, denime, studio d'artisan, fullcount, somet, sugar cane, etc. These denim are expensive and i mean can be super expensive not becoz of the brand, but purely for it's craftsmanship and nice cuts. Some of these brands might be unheard of but for denim enthusiast they are much more known compared to brands such as true religion etc. Call these Japanese denim as the Aston Martin, or the Bentley, or the Ferrari of denim.

Then there are Nudie, APC, Naked & Famous, Imperial, Edwin SEN Japan, etc which would be in the second ranking of denim hierarchy. These are good quality denim superior to other denims in the market as we know it today but not as good as the japanese ones i have just mentioned earlier. These brands, especially Nudie and APC are famous and picking up in popularity is due to it being worn by celebrities. These denim brand can be categorized as the Audi or the Mercedes of denim.

Then you have the other brands like Topman, Gap, Unqlo, etc etc. These jeans has a decent quality to it and also has a decent price. The price is parallel to it's quality.

Then comes lowest of all ranks of denim. These includes True Religion, 7 for all mankind, diesel, Ed Hardy, and other designer brand denims. These denims are, should i say, hideous in design and cuts, for example, Ed Hardy. In this denim category the quality and cut and craftsmanship are poor and hideous. But that is not the reason why it is being categorized so low. The reason being, is, that the price of these denims are ridiculously expensive with the kind of quality they offer. I.E the quality doesn't go with the price. They are as expensive as the superior Japanese denim but the craftsmanship arent comparable at all. So these brands tries to rip consumers off. These are expensive becoz of its brand, not quality, unlike the Japanese premium denim.

Then comes the odd one, the Dior Homme 19cm and 21 cm denim. This odd onei shall put it somewhere in between the 1st and the 2nd rank of the hierarchy. This is so becoz the quality and the build of the denim is as good as and on par as Nudie, APC and such or even much more and somewhat, slightly below the Japanese denim brands. But the price of Dior Homme Raw Denim is as expensive as those Japanese denim. But i find this as ok coz you are paying for its quality and also brand in the same time.

pure blue japan >9000

the quality of the denim (especially the japanese selvedge denim) are top notch.... maybe they are not as famous as true religion or 7 for mankind etc.... but non the less they are sort after by denimheads and people who really appreciated good denim.

but then again ... the only designers brand i would love to have is Dior Homme by Hedi Slimane Made In Japan....
