$200 Jeans?

[DJ Trance AZ]

I was @ this shop yesterday located in The Distillery District and found a really nice pair of jeans for $200CDN...Now the sales told me the denim's from Japan and processed in Canada...The jeans itself is very thick.

So for those who own expensive jeans, how would you compare your expensive collection with your other collection (e.g., Gap)?

Man...... I bought a Jean from Gap for 80 bucks, if you consider that low end then this is really ********.

What brand?

[DJ Trance AZ]

Forgot to check the brand...but it's from Lileo (the shop from Distillery).

I bought these jeans for $100 once, jack of spades or something. they look like jeans but are stretchy and o-so-comfy.

jeans sound like naked and famous. I bought a pair a while ago, but I found the stitching quality wasn't up to par. The denim was really great though.

I got a pair of New standards a few months ago and they are definitely my favourite jean. I have a pair of old beater gap boot cuts though and the denim is so worked in and soft that it's almost like wearign sweat pants. It's definitely a 50/50 between those jeans.

A lot of 'japanese' denim is fake...
So many in China. If you don't get a legit one you can get ripped off reall bad.

Those thick quality jeans you can get online, for like $30.00 canadian.
If you want to find real legit 200$ jeans, go find some levis premiums or go to holt renfrew.

If you thought 200$ was expensive, a buddy of mine has a closet with over 5000$ worth in jeans...
All kept with original receipt and tags. He never washes his jeans until 3 months later, to get the best fade.

First off, where do you get your information that a lot of Japanese denim is "FAKE"? Are you talking about the actual fabric? Or the brands?

As for thick quality 30 dollar jeans, again what the heck are you talking about? You realize people are not paying for jeans based on their thickness, those expensive "thick" jeans have a whole lot more to them, than I care to explain, but if you look it up online you'll realize how much of an art it really is producing some of these jeans.

Why would your friend keep the receipts and tags? Does he leave them on the jeans and wear them for 3 months so he can show off the price? Stop riding your friends nuts, nobody cares about his 5000 dollar jean collection.

Dude don't be so defensive. I was just saying, that there are a lot of fakes on the market. An example are the Evisu jeans. The fakes are near 100%. Most sellers like to say its "Japanese denim". I know how much of an art it is in producing some of the jeans..

I said my friend wears his jeans without washing for 3 months before he washes them so he can get a fading effect like how he walked in them. He does not leave the tags and receipt on them... He keeps them for record. I was just trying to say that some people are dead serious about collecting jeans.

Maybe wings and horns?

Fake evisus do not use selvedge denim. That's usually a tell tale sign that they're fakes. Though most hypebeast kids who wear evisu probably don't even know how to tell if its real or not.

Your friend wears raws.

Ok, but you made claims about fake Japanese denim, when the OP was talking about the fabric being Japanese. Seems like your just repeating everything you "know" about denim without actually having a clue. The 30 dollar thick quality denim is what got me! Go get levis premium, Go get "legit" 200 dollar jeans. Stop hypebeasting, and stop writing about topics you have little to no clue about. Read a book, go out and wear some jeans, then please join the discussion. It's people like you that really throw people off when they are trying to look for real information.

I just don't want the guy to end up buying something which is fake, so I'm giving him a little heads up. I am reading a book, and I am wearing jeans right now. I can post whenever, wherever, and however I want. You don't have to be a guru to speak or express your opinion. Since your the professional, by all means quit bickering about my comments and spread some light on this topic.
