seluar raya arrived already! haha..

i think i'm gonna stick with N&F WG from now on (or at least for awhile). Doesn't hurt my wallet that much and i'm sure of the sizing and cut. Can't bear the pain of waiting for so long and getting a pair that doesn't fit right.

And please ignore the shoe. Those arrived together yesterday and decided to take a group photo.

hi all..

would like to get some recommendations here for indigo raws..

been wearing N&F and nudie all these while..

are they any other entry / affordable selvedge denim apart from cheese / gustin / rusting / uniqlo / UB ? have yet to check out H&M tho.

i'm specifically looking for indigo raw selvedge 13~14oz with budget < RM500

Uniqlo uses Kaihara denim which they claim to use only the best Pima cotton around.
Brands like Baldwin and Evisu uses Kaihara and for Uniqlo's price of RM150, I feel it is a really good buy.
If you want to wait for Uniqlo to slash it's price, you will be able to get it at the RM100-RM130 price range.

As for H&M, they use to have selvedged denim which I bought during their sale last year for RM99.
Pretty alright but I do not know where the material comes from and the detail of construction is no where near Uniqlo's.

unfortunately the current uniqlo selvedge uses very light material and feels a bit stretchy. this is made in china. unlike the previous batch that was made in bangladesh (IIRC) which is heavier and quite proper. still looking for alternatives..

oh. will avoid H&M then. thanks.

ceremony? will google them to find out more. tarik jeans does not fit me well..

Stretchy ? I suppose you tried the one with spandex:

I was referring to this (not sure if it is 13-14oz as you wanted) which is not the same as the spandex one and it is at RM70 now:
http://www.uniqlo.com/my/store/men-slim-fi...tml#colorSelect

In regards to MIC, I used to own their MIJ jeans a number of years back and there is hardly any difference in terms of built.
There's a ton of factories in China, both good and bad. MIC doesn't mean an item is going to be shit.

The details like chain hem stitching are all proper on the MIC. Fabric wise, the MIJ one blew out on the crotch after 6 months of wear and my H&M one is still going strong like it could take a bloody beating and refuses to even die so I can buy a new pair. By the way, the H&M pair is MIC.

oh.. right. didnt know there are diff types for current uniqlo. will check them out again. thanks.

and btw, post i made on MIC/MIB (bangla) was as reference to differentiate the two denims of uniqlo that i came across.. not generalizing to others.

Hope my link helped. I don't even know why uniqlo used spandex in their jeans. Smh. Maybe their stats says that it sells well and they are capitalizing on it or simply maybe the spandex one is slim fit and they wanted people to wear it comfortably without suffocating their manhood.

As for the make, I believe they are pretty much the same (because it is just mostly sewing) and it only comes in a regular cut. Fabrication is still coming from Kaihara Mills so it is pretty decent.

But nothing else matters when it is only priced at RM70 after sale. Everything about it now is gold.

true. if i only they have them in my size.. tongue.gif

That's an easy cop... sheet don't have time to go over this weekend.

I just copped this Levi's 511 MIJ Selvedge

I was minding my own business, and saw Levi's as I was walking past, and reckoned my current pair of jeans has sufficient fade, and wanted a more slim/tapered leg, so went in and have a look.

Look at the RRP in Japan. And guess how much I copped it for?

Not too bad. I checked the SKU, its the correct one. I so did not intend to buy jeans. But what the hell
Which levis outlet? Would like to check them out.
