Lmao
Get the meme shit outta here

>>15752909
>Yeah i buy only sweatshop clothes, what gave that away?

Me? I'm a hipster douchebag piece of shit-tat-toing so I'd say it's overpriced outdated cultural detritus from the 2000's. They're irrelevant gimmicky shit but have somehow found a niche market among r*dditors to keep them afloat. I'm a denimhead so... I've seen well made jeans go for $35 a pair and SHITSHITSHITSHITFUCKSHITSHITSHITSHIT jeans priced at +$200 a pair and these definitely belong in the trash! Has Biden lowered the age of consent yet?

>>15752952
So tell me what is better.

Yes. I have a few pairs of the Easy Guy fit. I've worn the brand for years and while they have some designs that I wouldn't touch, they do make some unique ones that don't look autistic. Also, good quality so as long as you wash them before they start to fall apart, they'll last.

We're not allowed to like them because, uh.... *checks notes* reddit?

>>15752727
I don't buy it simply because the name is stupid.

>>15753129
Prison Blues
Wrangler

>>15752909
So what you're saying is you've never once worn quality clothes before?

I like nudie better

>>15753135
Do you lift?

>>15752727
Jeans are fairly priced. Overpriced tees. Best thing to get are their jackets.

>>15752727
Bluepilled and Unbased company. Stupid gimmicky company for the type of person who owns funkopop. If you just want a no frills pair of good quality jeans either get a japanese brand like pure blue japan or orslow for slubby texture or get something like 3sixteen or apc for very basic jeans that just have a clean even texture

They have lots of "weird" textured pants but also great basics. I was wearing 2 pairs of skinny jeans from them for years and they have held up fine.

Get their more "normal" materials and fits and you'll like them.

>>15752947
All clothing is made in sweatshops. It doesn't matter where it was made.

>>15753256
>wearing garments made by slaves

>>15754321
fuck 3sixteen and all those fools at selfedge, just a bunch of yuppies that just got lucky selling denim. if u want some genuine shit look to guys that ACTUALLY are denim nerds like railcarfinegoods or japanese brands in general. then youd feel better spending some cash.

btw, the fits on the jacket are trash, unless u wanna look like a fucken fool living in san francisco commutin on the bart, or some hipster doofus who only drinks pourover coffee in ny.

desu just buy vintage because ur never gonna get good fades on them.

and no, denim jackets work, just like any other fucking utilitarian garment. just work it into your wardrobe.

>>15752952
Stroke?

>>15752727
Cotton requires intensive amounts of pesticides, water and bleach.
Buy only used denim from charity shoppes.
When you do buy new, try to buy a material that is sustainable like lyocel that can be made from sustainable plants like bamboo.

>>15754882

i don't actually like 3sixteen at all. im only recommending it because it probably is in the range that the op can afford. i forgot about railcar. i dont really pay attention to any usa brands overall.

>unless u wanna look like a fucken fool living in san francisco commutin on the bart, or some hipster doofus who only drinks pourover coffee in ny.

i think this applies to 8/10 people who are even interested in wearing raw denim in 2020

>>15754963
shut the fuck up retard, I buy what I want

They have the most interesting unique selection of denim as far as I know. The fits are a bit strange and confusing sometimes but definitely worth copping if you want something more than just regulsr old jeans. Also there's literally nothing wrong with rawz, it's the same as buying dark blue jeans that aren't colorfast, they fade with time.

>>15752727
I have one of their jackets, it's a step below the usual suspects for raw denim but if you can get it on sale it mogs the shit out of something like Levis or a denim jacket from a brand that doesn't specialize in denim at all

>why is it a step below but also above normal stuff?
Being the master of one thing is easier than going nuts like N&F does with experiments
Some of them won't have selvedge, like this one. Technically it doesn't mean much
Uses the nice, neat, and slightly more durable chain stitching in some spots and uses the usual everywhere else
Doesn't put rivets in strategic places for extra durability

If you aren't a denimhead these details don't mean anything much. There are sales on tateandyoko right now if you're interested.

>>15753141
Entirely true. I don't understand how a brand made by a fucking leaf that markets entirely to male feminists gets away with their tag, maybe it's an irony thing?
It's also stupid that they make jeans with weeb appeal when they lose all the benefits of actual Japanese jeans, except for their overpriced MiJ stuff that has an actual fucking leaf embroidered on it.
>>15754442
Dunno what your beef with Wrangler is, but yeah, Prison Blues is called that for a reason, however they'd be in jail anyway (and for a reason) and the money goes to a victims' relief fund, it's arguably more ethical than a chinese sweatshop where their only crime is being born in the wrong country and the money just goes to whoever.

>>15752727
I've got a pair that I've had for maybe a year now, they're very nice. I originally got them bc of the high rise, but at this point theyve also become the perfect length for my inseam. They are a bit expensive, but I think it's not by much Tbh

What lol

>>15754021
If you're paying upwards of $100 for a piece of clothing off the rack you're a fool who shouldn't be allowed to procreate. I only wear custom made clothing.

>>15756309
People can spend their money on whatever they please. Feel free to harbour negative thoughts about others and unfounded opinions for your lifetime.

>>15756324
Yes people can waste their money on whatever they please, they can also kill people and kill themselves, I don't give a fuck. I'm just kindly informing you that you are a retarded subhuman because you're obviously too fucking stupid to figure it out using your tiny stunted brain.

>>15756333
>seething POORFAG lol

>>15756342
I've spent upwards of $300 on a single pair of jeans though. It's not about price, it's about return on investment. Why would you spend an equal amount of money on a product off the rack that will be of inferior fit and quality to a custom made piece of clothing?

>>15756347
Because you can. Money is not the issue, it’s you taking issue as to how others can spend their money. Policing one’s money an activity for the poors. Clothes aren’t investments. You think that to justify spending money that would better be used to feed yourself.

Everything is an investment, grow up. There's nothing that can't be weighed for value.

>>15756388
Money is not the measure of all things. Examples of items that cannot be recorded as accounting transactions because they cannot be expressed in terms of money include employee skill level, employee working conditions, expected resale value of a patent, value of an in-house brand, product durability, quality of customer support or field service, efficiency of administrative processes, etc.

>>15756388
peak cringe

>>15756301
It looks like the kind of thing where they'd usually be all "muh objectification" "muh male gaze"
>>15756388
It's not an investment if there is no rational reason to expect the value to appreciate. It's a splurge, on what is ultimately a hobby.

>>15756436
I need to look good because I need to manipulate the perception others have of me in order to get more out of them. Everything is a means to money and power to me. I don't have emotions like a gentile cattle.

>>15756492
>I am above emotions and measure all things in terms of money

>>15756492
You need work, from this angle you look terrible. Especially since 4chan has nothing to do with getting money and power.

WH Ranch
Blue Delta

lmao I remember these being recommended on /fa/ a decade+ ago.
judging by this thread, none of you were old enough to have ever touched a computer then. the internet was better for it.

>>15756839
98% of this board wasn't alive a decade ago

>>15756836
>Blue Delta
I had never heard of them and I know why. At $450 a pair they really need to justify their price, and "bespoke jeans take a lot of work" doesn't count when you can buy any fit under the sun in MUCH better materials for at least $100 less for all but the finest Japanese denim.

>>15756961
Then go with WH Ranch, problem solved.

>>15756843
how would you know?

What japanese brands are the best?

>>15758089

Eternal

>>15752727
Didn't see any regular fit among their products, and honestly, their best looking male jeans is actually a female jeans.
Also this >>15754027

>>15754021
>high quality JEANS
Lmao
Jeans are meant to be worn while working outdoors and in dirt

>>15758089
Momotaro
Studio D' Artisan
Samurai
FDMTL
Kapital
Pure Blue Japan
Iron Heart

Note that all of them are expensive for either wacky designs like kapital or are mostly expensive for details that most people won't notice. If you're ok with that, fire away.

>>15758171
Weird guy is their regular fit

>>15756388
You're the retarded bugperson I talked to in /wt/ once who believes everything in life revolves around ROI aren't you. You're pathetic.

>>15756388
You're Chinese right?

>>15758205
Which is why they need to be high quality.
Back in the day a man would pay a whole month's wages for his clothes. People always say they don't make 'em like they used to, but we don't pay up like we used to neither.

>>15758205
Not this stupid shit again.

>>15758205
Working outdoors and in the dirt has a terrible ROI, so you shouldn't even be in a jeans thread to begin with. For a sociopath you're awfully unproductive. Guess 4chan makes a fool out of you.

>>15756333
you know how I can tell you're poor?

Is heavy weight denim meme or do it actually last longer?

>>15761446
It more for quicker fades. It does not necessarily last longer.
