I'm too lazy to search, but do we still have Unbranded denims here @ local UOs?

I remember going on a buying rampage on them last year with UOs and ended up not keeping any. I pretty much Fd everyone who wore a 32 and 33 :lol: Now that I need an extra pair of jeans I'm desperately looking for them now and I don't want to buy them online.

No, I got my camos for $70, $200 is a ripoff IMO, and for your first pair, I recommend the indigo/indigos, great fading.
Also fades relatively fast, which is what newcomers to raw denim look for

Duck are similar to cotton canvas. Think of it as really thick cardboard like cotton. They will not fade like raw denim but will age and develop a patina over time, similar to how leather ages.

The designers go for the old, weathered look that old, beat-up raw denim has
Nonetheless, there are a few pairs of raw selvedge designer jeans, but they are much more expensive than normal distressed jeans due to the way the material is made (shuttle loom) A lot less fabric can be made per day compared to modern mass-production machines
Here is a pair of raw's from TR - not sure if it's selvedge

$200 seem like a rip but its pretty hard to find them in size 36-37. Been eyeing them for a while now..

Lucky! how long ago was this?

And skinny guys are vanity sized correct? So if im a 36 waist i should go for a 37 in skinny guy size? Or will a 35 be alright since it stretches?

All n&f are vanity sized. Usually, but it's better to try it on, you size down 1 for skinny guys and 2 foe weird guys.

This summer/fall I think

And yes, I would agree with Firebolt, but the best way to know if you fit is to try it on yourself

(Left to Right)
- Nudies: 1 year worth of wears maybe 2-3 washes. Stop wearing these jeans after I got into Japanease Raws. So much more superior in every way. Will probably take these to tailor to get these taper down
- Oni: 2 years worth of wear and numerous washes. Super slubby denim
- Flatheat: 2 years worth of wear and numerous washes
- Kicking Mule Workshop: Approaching 1 year mark with 1 wash. Not much fading, just some whiskers and honeycombs. Hard for these jeans to fade
- Samurai: 17 OZ model Zero. Have not been broken in. Don't know when I will get to it.

I hear Flatheads have a nice and fast fading. What are your personal experiences with them? 400 is too much for me to spend on denim though :/

Not sure how fast / slow my FH faded. Been awhile. I do like the contrast though on my FH. Yes I got all of my jeans from Japan when the YEN was a lot weaker. Now its crazy expensive. Happy I got my SAMS way back. Will probably take me awhile to break them in.

Heads up... www.DWNDclothing.com has apparently launched their Nudie denim shop.

http://dwndclothing.com/category/mens/v ... die_jeans/

The newsletter I got in my e-mail reads:
Our Nudie denim shop has launched. Today only! Enjoy 10% off from 11am - 4pm. Use discount code NUDIE10. Online only.
Dunno how useful that is for RFDers... it's only ten percent... :|
