most gap stores won't have the selvedge jean

it was more of a trend in 2009.

with that said they're $80 w/out that discount

for just $200 more you can be getting into some real denim brands that will last you more than 8-9 months of heavy wear

and will look better in the process

naked and famous produces unbranded but not to the standards of their mainline

A lot is the idea of brand loyalty and expecting a better product. This is what allows companies to increase their price for no other reason than demand. The product doesn't actually change with the price.
Also people generally shun the cheapest of a product for no reason other than not wanting to appear cheap.

it's not impossible to get quality selvedge denim from china, but to say that on the whole there is no difference between japanese denim and chinese denim is just false.

unbranded denim is just okay for its price. after having mine for about 9 months one of the flat felled seams on the leg has come undone, they use some really shitty thread which is causing the stitching on my pair to come apart in various places.

the only people that say "the increase in price is all in the name" tend to be poor or dress like shit

i mean...what do unbranded jeans sell for $70?...thats it?

you can't spend $250 on a decent pair of jeans?

heres my 10 cents: unbrandeds are shitty. I've owned the 21oz UB's, and within 6 months they were faded to hell with crotch blowout, etc. jeans shouldn't age that quickly. you're lucky if they last a year at most.

if you have 100 to spend, go for gustin, or lawless denim. have had good experiences with both.

if you have 250 to spend, I think rogue territory makes some amazing jeans. great fit.

gap is good for jeans, chinos, and cords

I have their jap 14oz raws and their 13oz white selvage jeans and I have no complaints. They are fading properly and haven't had a crotch blowout. I've washed once in 8 months.

I also have like 4 pairs of chinos and a pair of cords and they've all held up for a year of working in them. The brown ones I wore the most actually have fades.

Their shirts are shit and wrinkle after a wash and you have to get them tailored anyway. Outerwear is good if it is nylon, but again needs to be tailored because it's cut for fat people. Never buy a blazer or peacoat from them because the construction is horrible. Their underwear is great, their socks are ok. For cheap shirts go to banana republic instead, but for cheap jeans, cords, and chinos gap is great.

Now, I'm still fucking with this. I posted my fit in the last thread, and someone said that the SKs were making it look like I had no butt. Blueowl recommend I size down, so I'm gonna send them back and see if that works.

But from the pair I wore (28 in SKs), it had a relatively long top block. Now I have absolutely positively no ass, but it was a little jarring how much room I had in the seat in general. But the quality of the rogues was pretty good. I liked the details, the denim was good, and it was far better put together than my naked and famous.

I say this every denim thread, so I'm going to say it again: I've owned a lot of raw denim in the sub-$300 range. A.P.C. petit standards are my favorite by far. Anyone who is thinking of buying Unbranded, N&F, or Nudies - forget about it. Save up and get A.P.C. or better. Don't fuck with budget raw denim. That being said, if you are going to, get the heavy Unbrandeds.

I usually am between a 29 and a 30 in most jeans. For APC I wear a 28. I've heard some people say size down 2, which may be fair. Others say size down 1. Because I'm in between sizes normally, I can't really vote one way or the other. There is a decent bit of stretch in the waist after the first week.

>>9111856
My current pair of petit standards are 6 months in with no washes. No loose threads or anything. I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that APC denim is the highest quality material on the market - something like samurai is going to be clearly better. But the APC material is a substantial step up from N&F and Nudie. I wouldn't worry about it crumbling on you, it won't happen. Highly recommend copping.

>> No.9111886

Honestly there is no answer.

For sick high contrast fades? Wait a long time

But some people wash them like every week and end up with sick fades.

Just wash them when you think they are dirty. I'd say every couple months is a decent window that will help prevent damage to them and still yield fades
