Best jeans

[anil666]

i like stone age jeans..............

[vlydog]

Best jeans I've ever owned have been Gustin. I'll have to update this thread on how they look now! They got some serious patina.

 

Have any photos?

Happy to see Levi's holding it down.  I've spent 100-200$ on jeans... and the simple 40-50$ levi's (501s preferred here, or bootcut models since I am a cowboy) have outshined everything... in terms of design and durability.   What else would you expect from the first American jeans company wrought from the needs of soldiers during the civil war?

+1 on Gustin . I also say AG protege . I have about 50 pairs sold a bunch as I have possibly grew up a bit and simple is more these days .

OK, I will chime in.

 

I started some Dry Denim projects mid last year, here are the contestants:

 

1) Big John (14 oz "Gunjo" dark indigo, red selfedge), oldest japanese denim company from 1940 (size 34/34)

2) Edwin (14.5 oz "Nashville" dark indigo, red selfedge), japanese denim but made in Europe (size 34/36)

3) Levi´s (11 oz 501 STF ... shrink to fit), a light jeans, good for summer, love them when still dry and starked, shrinked heavily in length (size 35/38)

4) Edwin (14.5 oz "Sivletto" LE, red selfedge) japanese denim but made in Europe (size 34/36) .... never worn though, only soaked.

5) Denham (14 oz "Skinny", red selfedge) japanese raw denim, sanforised

6) Edwin (14.5 oz "ED-55", red selfedge) .... ordered and on the way to me.

 

The best of these above is the Big John so far, the most expensive but worth every cent. It starts to develop nice fades, especially the whiskers (front) and the honeycombs (back knee) are promissing.

The Nashville is a bit loose but as the indigo is really dark, you see the fading now coming out while only soaked once after a 6 months wear.

 

Will post some pics if I get the time,

cheers

I may just be showing my fairly mundane taste in jeans however I tend to stick with good old M&S* "old man" jeans....and chinos.

S, I backed a pair on the day the website went live; April 1st. The denim is called the Greenback. I received them at the end of June. I love them. The fit and quality are superb.

Opps just noticed you posted back in May. My initial order came up short on fabric so I'm trying again -maybe Aug.  Thanks for the feedback.

So nobody here wears normal Levi's... The working man's jeans Not all this fashion crap..

Yup...I do.

Levis 501 and 505 for fit...and 550 for comfort....with a few pairs of Tommy H too

And vintage Girbaud is by far my  favorite for fit and durability.

(not the latest saggy. baggy, fireman lookin' versions out there.)

I think gustin has the most bang for the buck.

 

They have a few interesting jeans on sale now

 

Loomstate jeans - It’s fabric right off the loom with absolutely zero treatment. It’s unwashed, unsinged, unskewed and unsanforized. Pure denim. 

 

Cona fire fire - Which is cone mill dead old stock made from long staple cotton

Having owned and tried jeans across the price spectrum, I'm going to undoubtedly say that Diesel are the best.

 

They just fit incredibly well, awesome quality and of course look lovely. They've also been consistently 'in fashion' in my opinion for the last few years at least.

 

I'd guess it's not for everyone though - I've got large legs and a small waist - for me they're perfect.

[wiesn089]

I wear Nudie and Replay. They fit great and are incredibly durable.

[johncitizen]

A girl recently referred me onto nudie jeans, they fit well for my body shape and I will purchase a second pair shortly.

[pakkiiez]

I wear Nudie and April77 a french brand the fit is nice but i wear super skinny if you i raw denim i'd recommend April77 but its quite hard to source though

[Guest BimmerLover]

Only Dolce&Gabbana black label & Dsquared2 for me

[KingPinKarl]

Acne, 7 for all mankind and obligatory Levi's.

maybe you can have a try in this site: www.crestbuy.se

i bought two times there , the only thing i complained is the shipping price which is a little expensive . 

 

anyway , it is a good site and good quality , but all are replics .

[cosmosblau]

Agave Denim is the best.

[LCF]

J.Crew and Joe's. I will try Diesel next, but since it's too expensive I need one directly from China.

JACOB COHEN ,

 

Anybody who tried them knows :  best fit , best materials , best overall finishing quality .

(the 622 model is my favourite)

 

Their chinos are also in a class of their own .

 

 

(i buy them in italy . they have a company store next to the factory where they have a lot of stock of all models and best of all : prices at about 50 - 60 % discount on retail prices .)
