Raw denim thread. Post questions, answers and sick fadez

I'm searching for a heavy (>18oz if possible) raw denim jacket of really good quality and durability, not something that'll fall apart quickly.
For quality, I'm willing to pay as much as 500 dollars, perhaps more.
I want a slim fit (that's important) and dark color: either indigo or black, either way I do NOT want the fades to make the jacket really light blue 'cause light blue denim jackets look bad to me.
Usable pockets are a must. If there are "features" to the jacket (like special fading colors like N&F does or something), that's cool but not necessary.

I've searched for weeks but didn't manage to find a jacket that fit my requirements. Do you have anything to recommend, /fa/?

Not the previous poster, but I need some black skinny jeans, and seeing as how I just blew a big chunk of my budget in London (bought a pair of N&F, amongst other shit), I don't have the cash to afford Acne or A.P.C's, etc.

I thought I'd try on a couple different pairs at the store and see which one I like, but it'd probably be something like pic related.
Is there anything I should know before I go and buy a pair? Any particular model that sucks? And please don't say "they all do", that isn't very helpful (not saying you planned on saying that).

I'd much rather get a pair of Acne, but if I bought those I'd be totally broke. On top of that, I'm going to London with my class in a couple more months so I'll have to save up for that, and since I'm studying my income is very, very small.

Can't afford all the good things in life. Might have to get a pair of Cheap Mondays.

I got a pair of N&F Weird Guys Lightweight size 29, and they're really tight around the thighs. I can button them all the way, but they are restraining around the hips. If the jeans didn't have such a low rise, I would be content.

Looking through other pairs of raw denim, I like the look and measurements of 3sixteen's slim straight shadow selvedge size 30. The rise is a quarter inch higher and there's a quarter inch wider in the thighs. Is the difference between N&F and 3sixteen negligible in this case?
