4964 Jeans
So, I want some new jeans.
I started reading, and there's all this selvedge and raw and other such jargon, can someone please explain?

Been looking at:

http://www.superdry.com/mens/jeans/details/41487/japanese-selvedge-jeans

http://www.levi.com/GB/en_GB/men-jeans/p/045111130

http://www.gap.co.uk/browse/product.do?cid=57476&vid=1&pid=000694926000

Willing to spend about £100, maybe a little bit more...is raw that much better?
Is selvedge worth it?

To be honest here it's mostly about getting that very deep "indigo" blue, my 511s I have now kept it pretty well but they're worn out.

Recommendations appreciated, /Poof/'s!

I got those Levi's in grey from TKMaxx for £20. They're silly money in this country.

If you're going to get Superdry then buy from their eBay store.

They're probably either first-party knock-offs or a couple of seasons old. You got a good deal if they're old - after all, Levi's are Levi's whatever the weather. OTOH if they're down-grade product manufactured specifically for the price point then you might as well have bought own brand at Tesco and got the same build quality.

Nudie jeans are cool - and I bought mine for £80.

However, fair warning - if you have large quads and glutes be it from being fat or like myself do a ton of cycling - they are a tight fit. Your arse might also be tight in them and you might feel self concious. But they do stretch with time and mold into your shape, making them ultra comfy.

In addition they get SICK FADEZ showing how much of a unique a cool person you are.

I don't know, but for some fucking reason I got a 34W 32L when I'm really a 34L - so when you cuff 'em (as you should), they are a tad shorter than I want. Silly gripe, but that me being careless when shopping.

It wouldn't surprise me if they're doing what Tesco used to do 15 years ago when they sold 501s for £28 a pop, getting them wholesale from the rest of Europe.

Anyone who pays the RRP for Levi's in Britain is a mug.

Possibly, though I imagine TK Maxx would prefer something better than Tesco's usual margin of 0.2%.

That's entirely subjective and hard to answer. It's a better quality denim, it feel better and will look better for a longer time. If that's worth £100 to you, then yes, it's worth it.

Naked and famous are one of the best brands around that price point.

£100+ for a pair of jeans? Fuck I thought that anything north of £50 was expensive. Fair enough spend decent money on lounge suits and dinner jackets but jeans are jeans, why spend a ridiculous amount on what have always been work clothes?

Having said that I did once manage to get a pair of Jack and Jones jeans reduced from fuck-off to £30 or something and they're easily my favourite pair so maybe I'm just drunk and talking out the side of my neck.

>Cuff em
Eh? I've never seen anyone do this who isn't under 5 foot 6. If you're significantly over 6 foot it's hard finding jeans that aren't ankle swingers let alone having extra for folding.

It's been done for years and it looks pretty good - gives a break between your shoes and trousers.

Nah, like I say I've only ever seen short people do it and it's always been more of a case of "n'aww he has to roll up his jeans bless" rather than a fashion thing.

I'm wearing some 32" leg jeans now and they only just come to my ankles as it is, if they were rolled up they'd look silly.

It looks really good - but if you're a numpty like myself and get shorter jeans, then it's a little harder.

The only guy I know who does this is a short guy who benches 100kgs but pussies out at the first sign of a fight... take from that what you will.

It just looks silly to me, it draws unnecessary attention to your ankles and interrupts the flow of the jeans down to your shoes. Just get jeans that are the right size, if you're short then look for a 28" leg or whatever it is you need.

That Superdry pair look fantastic, anything that saturated will fit the bill.

Any other brand suggestions?/pair in particular

I've never thought much of Super Dry really, they seem to be worn by the same dopey prats who buy Hollister clothing. Also every time I walk past one of their shops they have a really strange 'aroma', I'm not sure if it's meant to entice customers but it has the opposite effect to be honest.

J&J are fairly decent. These are a fairly basic slim fit pair but you can spend more if you really want: http://jackjones.com/jack-jones/jeans/tim-original-sc-533/12079817,en_GB,pd.html?dwvar_12079817_colorPattern=12079817_DarkBlueDenim&forceScope=

I used to get Wall Street jeans as a lad. They were cheap baggy jeans I would get from "Jean Jean" in Farnborough. I mourn its passing.

I'd have lumped Jack & Jones in that category, too.

If you don't cuff your jeans, how are you going to show off the selvedge stripe?

Also, Uniqlo do excellent jeans in Japanese denim for a ridiculously low price:

Oh wow... I'd always assumed this kind of activity was confined to London or perhaps Hullfa.gs.

This is too much of a mindfuck, there can't be .gs meetups in my hometown...
