Never seen/owned Levis STF before, but did you soak/wash it before you wear?

If you haven't then there's nothing wrong with the denim. Levis STF is un-sanforized, and you should at least soak it and shrink it before you start wearing. It will soften up only after the soak and wears.

The same goes to all other expensive un-sanforized denim like Samurai (unlike sanforized denim like APC, nudie).

thanks ppl for the comments..appreciate it...so which one is better? these jeans can be purchase in our country rite? if yes which store..?

ok noted.

btw good thing bout cultizm is that they ship out a replacement even before getting back the jeans ! superb customer service ! my shipment should arrived in germany on 4th and their shipment should arrive in KL on the 5th of Jan.

Will buy from them again due to their awesome service !

btw my actual waist is around 34.5 but sometimes after makan can go 35 hehe i think W32 will do fine !

You can get selvages for RM250? O_O I think the least these babies cost is around RM350 or even higher.

how about cheap monday? i not 100% sure if they hv selvage, but they do have raw. good start for those who want to buy raw jeans in my opinion.. cause not many ppl have the budget for nudie or apc right away

Cheap Mondays are a good starter pair of raws. They're almost ALWAYS at 90 bucks. OZ dollar. On a good sale, they go down to 50 or 70, depending on the cut.

I find the leather patch rather cool IMO. They're a srsly good starter pair. If you really can't see yourself doing skinny/slim raws, you can up your budget for a pair of Naked and Famous for... IDK.. RM400~450? It really depends on where you source your jeans

Read first page to learn moar Then, read entire thread. I know I did - twice. 2nd time, I was looking for something.

you can get a pair of topman/zara selvedge for less than rm200, even under rm150..

selvedge is just one of the method to create the edge of denim.. it's the fabric/denim from japan that being used that caused the premium price..

I know, but Topman AND Zara selvages? I rather fork 200 more to get a pair from people knows their stuff.(Read: Evisu, Lee, Nudie, N&F, Imperial and etc.)

Uniqlo sells raw selvedge jeans, the S002. RM250 a pop. It even has selvedge coin pockets.

what i mean is selvedge denim is not very hard to get at cheap price..

the reason we go for higher end denim like Samurai, Iron Heart, Flat Head is due to the denim being used.. selvedge is just a method of sewing that required more work though only can be found in higher end denim..

selvedge is not a method of sewing la, it was the end part of a fabric (self-finished egde)..... if you're talking about method of sewing, I think it was chain stitching which usually found on premium denim...

Oh yea no doubt about it, i'll go for Uniqlo's selvage denim anyday instead of monday's.

But is there any review from uniqlo selvages?

what do you mean by review balaclava?

How does the texture feels? Is it hard/soft? How much sizing if it's raw, what's the general quality. Review.

Oooh treflip has a pair i think. ask him.

Alternatively you could read this. http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=34842
