So /Fa/
I have 300$ to drop for some new pants.
So should I cop two pairs of Unbranded denim and one chino

Or one Pair of N&F Raws and one Pair of raw Chinos?

So Naked and Famous. Figured you guys would say that.
So far when I cop all my clothes I'll be picking up N&F Weirdguy indigo Selvedge and Olive Chinos
Vans Sk8 leathers
And a few blank t-shirts or something from whatever store at the mall.

Yes. Japan Blues are probably the best raw denim jeans and you can get them for about 130 dollars on denimio.com

As an owner of several pairs of raws, including some of the more expensive Japanese brands, there's not reason to go straight into Momotaros or Onis or anything like that. Most sub-$200 denim will come originally from Cone mills or a similar quality source. Really, any selvedge raw denim around 15Oz from a reputable brand will hold up the mostly the same. Just look for something that fits your own body well enough. If you want N&F, try to get it on sale since you can usually cop a pair for around $100 if you wait long enough. APC is nice for "entry level" denim too, and is around the same price-point as N&F. If you ever spend anything over $200, make sure you're doing it because you know exactly what you want. Personally, I wouldn't spend anything over $150 for Cone denim. One thing you should know about many of the Japanese companies is that they cater to the Japanese Americana aesthetic. That is, brands like Samurai will offer many details (including fit) that are normally found in vintage denim. Think Levi's 501. For more typical "modern" fits, you'd be looking at brands like APC, Saint Laurent Paris, or Dior Homme.

tl;dr: if you don't already know exactly what you're looking for in denim, you probably shouldn't be looking at the Japanese brands.

Yes, they ship to US. Use the size guide on the website and compare them to your current jeans. Here's a measurement guide.

What model of jeans you get will depend on how skinny your legs are. Remember to choose "non wash" when you buy them.

Open question: How are acne max raws quality? I've heard their crotch rips after a short while. Also, how do they fade?

>> No.8308438

OP I love my unbranded jeans. Faded really well, thinking of buying some of the heavy 20oz ones.
My N&F are ok, but I don't like them as much. Same company, in any case.

I have the max raws and they fit very tight and dont stretch out very much like other raw denim. Pretty good quality and fit, def a step up from n&f

Naked and Famous is fine quality, fuck the haters. Pretty much any pair of denim/pants over $120 is perfectly acceptable quality. I'm not one to bash designer clothing but there is literally no reason to spend >200 on a pair of jeans unless you can't find a fit you like.
