APC NS - good denim for under $150 shipped. slim straight fit. make sure you go size 2-3 down actual waist size cause they stretch mad

Burgus Lot 700- can only be bought at Hinoya in Japan. Great quality non-sleavage denim. 15OZ thread, deer patch, high quality chain stitching. I use this mainly for work and doing outdoor activies, and they are tough as hell

Edwin 500ZXX JPN edition- light denim, great for summer. Slevage and sanaforized. Straight fitment. Size down 1 (i learned my mistake of goign true size :(

random pairs of uniqlo jean from Japan- cheap denim for everyday use. less than 80 bucks for most of them. They offer emo fit, slim fit, straight fit, and boot cut.. I usually get the slim fit, as it usualy stretches out a bit to almost a straightish fit.. Indigo does not last long, but can be washed at least 5 times. Good fades off the factory.

Iron Heart 21OZ- the "bmw" of jeans. 21oz = stiff denim for great fades in the future. Everything is made perfect. Great jeans for winter time, keeps my legs warm and comfy!

WoW you are rich.

LVC 47' 501 - Recently got these, 2 week straight wear. Buy these true to size, they fit really nice, with longer inseam?

STF 501 - they stretched a lot and it fits soo baggy now

Levi's Red- Cheap for its denim, fits really nice but i bought the wrong size T_T

Looking to get some APC NS... sooon i hope. :mad:

[bcedhk]

not rich, didnt buy them all in the same time, those jeans have been in my closet for 3 years now..

Have u tried doing a hot soak with the STF? they should be able to shrink a bit.

http://www.tobi.com/product/498-a-p-c-new-standard-in-raw-indigo-denim-skinny

heres a good site to buy APC and other higher end / modern fashion items

[LC21]

wow i got into the denim game in september. everything i listed was copped within summer - march 08.

Apc now cost $155 on the official website T_T.. thats like 180 or so after shipping and maybe more after taxes.

[kaitamasaki]

APC NS - got washed and i guess its useless now
Samurai s0500xx - wearing for two months now but yet to see anything major coming up yet
Levis 501 STFs - just as backup

If there's anything I'll get next it'll probably something from Japan.

[TRDood]

Diesel Zathan 71J
Diesel Zathan 72H
Diesel Zathan (i don't know model#)
Diesel Zaf (i dont know model#)
Energie Stevenson
Energie Steven
Energie Slim Morris
Rock and Republic Henley?
True Religion Joeys Medium Vintage Wash

next on the list should be some Nudies, or more Energie

[LC21]

Anyone know anything about the Edwin japanese selvedge denim? I might get a pair of those, in washed form.

[bcedhk]

i have it, they are good quality. but is kinda light, so is more of a summer type jean. make sure you get a size down since the sanafozied jeans will stretch 1 size up..

kaitamasaki, you won't notice much with the sammi's until maybe month #6.. I had the same sammi's, worn about 3 times a day for 5 months before i started getting fades after 2nd wash... If you want quick result, go to the beach one day, dive around the sand lol.. Not joking, people actually go to the beach, dive around in the sand, and dip in the sea to get a wicked fade.

[Sid Vicious]

My .02

APC Rescues - Killer fit for the first couple of months, but slowly they stretched out a lil too big. Still fit pretty well but the leg openings a lil bit big IMO

Dior 19CM - By far my favourite pair of jean, perfect fitting. Low rise and tapered, slim but not ridiculously skinny. Very flattering

Wings + horns selvage: Should have really tried these on before I bought these they are wayyyy too tight in the thigh. theyre for sell if anyones interested, size 32 black in colour

only pair of jeans i consider myself to have now. since oct 06, i havent taken them off, except when i went to taiwan, and only when it got to like 38C haha. then i had to switch to my gap raw's cuz they're way thinner. but other than that, as soon as i came back to van. ive only worn the 21oz. i don't plan to ever wash them... ever. until they get really dirty, like, i spill something on them. they theoretically should be disguisting cuz i sweat so much in taiwan while wearing them, i went clubbing so much, i had to air them out cuz they stunk like cigs and booze. hahaha. im surprised there's no fungus growing on them :p

I bought mine direct from http://www.apc.fr, they sell em for $155 and they have your size. I bought mine a couple of years back at $140 and I think they came out to 180ish to my door.

[unit]

tnx, but still kind of expensive.. i bought my rescues for $110 shipped. ;)

[edit] maybe i should be clear... i dont expect to find another deal like that, but is 180ish shipped about as good as im going to get nowadays?

[gars]

i went to the APC store in NY... thought about buying a pair - but never did. now i sorta regret it.

[Marco911]

2 Pairs of Earl Jeans.
2 Pair of Diesel Jeans
1 Dolce & Gabbanna
1 Costume Nationale

[bcedhk]

buy apc either at Tobi or at APC.fr

you guys should also check out selfedge.com they sell lots (only) prenium denim, and they offer free shipping.. is a great alternative rather than buying from japan proxy.

planning on getting a pair of 1684 21oz iron heart in a few months!

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

i think black jeans are so tacky... they stick out like... a sore thumb kinda.

i'd rather get overdyed than black.

anyways, ive always wanted an ironheart belt. but i cant justify the price of a 150USD. or whatever. for a fucking belt. hah

[Ilagon]

Right now I got:

2 Imperial
2 Wings and Horns
2 Rag and Bone
1 APC
1 Edwin
1 Drykorn
1 Nudie

I'm like MajinHurricane, I only really wear my about 4-5 of those.

I think you should get a 30. I'm a 34 and sized down to a 32 and and fit perfectly after it stretched.

[unit]

2 sizes is about right, but after over a year, it'll feel loose.. 3 sizes if you can squeeze your ass into them

my favorite pair of jeans - but i don't wear them often because they're just a tad bit small. *note* when they were first bought, they had basically no fade on them - they were a dark indigo.

Gap Premium Selvedge (gap has nice jeans? ya, they do... but they don't sell them here....)

Copped a pair of APC NS sz28 LOLL for like $105 shipped, pretty stoked about that.

Im about a true 31 actually, i hope i didnt size down too much... LOL

[djm]

^ its gonna be tight.. depending on how slim you like your jeans.. if they dont work out i may be interested

[LC21]

im gonna try to put a lot of pressure on them..... $105.. is jsut for the shipping + jeans.. i dont know about taxes yet.

[gars]

where'd you order it from??? $105 is pretty damn cheap.

and if it doesn't work out - i might be interested as well... haha..

[bcedhk]

for those who want APC NS style denim for under 120, check out Dutil.. the brand name is called "naked & famous".. yes the name sounds gay, but their dark wash denim is pretty decent for the price.. is a slim straight fit, good shine , and is only 108 + tax.

gonnna grab a pair after i lose a inch off my waist first lol

[Hondaracer]

going to montreal and looking to buy some higher end raw denim jeans as my first pair, recomend any brands to look for? most likely be going to the designer stores etc.

[LC21]

hahha, ill think about reselling my apc's if they dont fit me well... Naked and Famous i hate that guy... he told my buddy and i that ironheart closed down, but it was actually iron army, hahaha~ my buddy got flamed like crazy on SUFU.......

I think my brother has everyone beat. He was the one that started my denim collection with hand me downs. He has over 40 pairs of jeans, all true religion, boss, rock's, william rasts, paper denim etc...

Now I own around 14, and I sold a bunch to my friends and now im looking for something new.

[Hondaracer]

fuck 40 pairs is alot..

i know a couple people who i've been with into holt etc. who went on like 3500$ jean spree's and end up not even wearing half of them :/

but im pretty sure even those guys dont have a 40 pair rotation lol

Why was that???
I was planning to get 29.. but whatever 28 would be better due to some crazy stretching that ive heard.. haha soo 3 sizes down would be slimmer.. but think ill be able to sag any?

[bcedhk]

play it safe and go 2 size down.

3 size will be leaning towards a tight "emo" style slim fit..

my NS, i went 2 size down, and the fit is a slim fit with a bit of sag on the butt /thigh area.. goes well with a cardigan or slim fit top.

I have a pair of naked and famous wierd guy indigo's. Really nice cut, will buy again in a different colour later.

[LC21]

.... damn the sz28 came in and they fit pretty slim. Not emo yet, but close. All my tshirts gotta go now, and gotta start finding some slimmer tees to go with this.. These jeans ruined my closet :(

[3xta]

shit the DIOR jeans looks sickkkk

[Eff-1]

Is there any store in Vancouver that carries APC?

[artmotion]

I think Block and Dutil sell them

[RacePace]

Tommy Hilfigers are by far the best bang for buck for me. Just over $50 at the Bay and fit perfectly, I can do a full squat and they don't feel tight or stretched at all

[gars]

i just got my APC NS from the actual APC store in the NY when i was there.... i'm loving it.

went to Dutil the other day just to take a look.

APC sells them for $155 USD, Dutil had them for like $210 CDN. pretty ridiculous.

[Harvey Specter]

Yeah, APC jeans are nice. Love the fit. Best jeans I own are Diors, too bad I can't afford to buy 2-3 more pairs...lol. And I just ordered my first pair of R&R's which I should have by tomorrow.

Id recommend you some Uniqlo Denim or APC NS(size down 2-3 sizes, depending how slim you like them) i sized down 3 for my APC's. If you get them from APC.. it'll cost around $180USD after shipping and possibly tax! Not bad of a deal at all, much cheaper then TR's .. RnR's...

[Gh0stRider]

Im looking for new jeans. where do you guys buy yours from?

^^^ for the best quality get yourself a pair of raw jeans =D. If you don't want to spend that much... bluenotes jeans are the best out of those three imo.

Cheap Monday is the best or even LEvi's.

nudie isnt exactly a secret, but its not tooo mainstream.
you bought size 28 ns and now you want size 30? if your true waist is around 32.5 then 30 is perfect (like me). i dont understand how you bought size 28 thinking you'd fit in them if you're a 32

those jeans are very generic, they aremass produced, so quality control is not the best. Their material is usually really weak, and will tend to stretch out very easily and their indigo fade really fast.

I just got pair of naked & famous big slub denim. Is a slimish straight leg denim, but is cotton weight is at 18oz. so is perfect for the cold winter + is should give me an awesome fade when i work these jeans for a few months. You will hear lots about thisbrand, cause is local, and hey offer good quality product for a affordable price.

Size down 2-3 sizes for APCs. Depends on how you want them to fit in the end. Just wear them around the house for the first week and you'll be good to go.

My collection:
2 x APCs
4 x Rock and Republic
2 x True Religion
2 x Diesel

Naked and famous go for under 150$ at dutil, and 150$ before tax at holt renfrew. I've had more luck finding the ones I wanted at holt renfrew though.

Go get it brand new then. Its $155 on all websites + shipping + customs that will be like nearly $200. And it retails $220 + tax at Dutil, i believe?
I think my price is reasonable, very little wear, just that ive soaked it and its lost its shine and stiffness, but a lot of life left.

Yeah 2-3 sizes on APC, how much did you size down? I just got new APC PS 29, fits pretty good its slimmer then my APC NS 28, but the waist fits/feels better. APC's are the way to goo, they feel and fit soo nice! Its unbelievable how much you pay for them.

[bcedhk]

Thx for the info. Where do they sell them?

dutil has a few big slubs left, i think they have a size 30 (fits like size 32), and some bigger sizes from 33+

dutil is a great place to go, friendly atmosphere, and you can try on many pairs to compare, the sales people don't mind and love to give you ideas!

I'm on day 5 , and the denim is beginning to loosen up., i got a size 31, but actually now is 33.5 ish, so is just perfect for me.

check out online denim shops, usually they will provide actual measurents of the jeans, as many jean company sizes are off by inches

[LC21]

Oh im guessing $200 + tax than in stores. $155USD Online, it says FREESHIPPING, but its not unless you're in the states.

Sorry dude, don't really wear blue jeans anymore so im just looking for cash.

in any case, they are sized big, the waist fits like a 33-34 however the rest fits pretty TTS, the thigh and it is quite tapered from the knee down. quite a nice cut

[LC21]

APCs stretch quite alot. my 29's are like...mc hammer pants now.

MC hammer, wow are the NS or rescues?
Mine are petite standard, the new cut. They're "snack wrap" tight right now. I can button all the way up not sure if i should keep, i need some sagg in these, or they feel uncomfortable!

[Brickface]

Eugeen Choo is a little bit cheaper than Dutil for the APC New Standards. I've picked mine
up a little less than a month ago for 185 +tax. Dutil charges $215 last time I checked. Eugeen Choo also has the more desirable sizes, I picked up a size 31 there no problem.

I would definately keep them even if they're super tight. If you can do the buttons all the way up, you're find. Even if you can't do the top botton up you'll be fine. APC's stretch like a bitch. Mine were so tight on me when I got them that they looked painted on, now they fit perfectly. All you need is a little patience.

THanks for the reply, because i was like this with my APC NS 28(shoulda gotten 1 size bigger), and they were worn about 1.5month over time and no stretch at all, or barely any stretching.
For my PS right now, looks like the sides seams are about to blow up, is there anything wrong with that?

Weird, because my true waste size is around 34.5 inches, and I was able to barely squeeze into a size 31 NS. When I got home I was regretting getting a size so small, but I wore them as hard as I could and within about a week they fit like a completely different pair of jeans.

As far as the side seems go, I noticed this too when i bought my NS, as it looked as though the outseem was gonna blow. you could see a white line going down the outside of the leg where it looked like the seem was streching (I have pretty big thighs compared to the type of people who usual rock NS's or NC's) but when the denim starts to stretch more/fade you can barely notice it. Havn't had the seems rip on me yet and i've been wearing these things every single day since i've gotten them.

I don't think you have to worry about the side seems blowing unless you're sizing down 4+ sizes. APC denim is really durable for the price you pay, it's built tough as nails.

holy cow man, i guess you're almost as bad as annie hahahahahaha holy crap! that's a lot of fucking jeans man!!!

[Splmash]

Go get it brand new then. Its $155 on all websites + shipping + customs that will be like nearly $200. And it retails $220 + tax at Dutil, i believe?
I think my price is reasonable, very little wear, just that ive soaked it and its lost its shine and stiffness, but a lot of life left.



Yeah 2-3 sizes on APC, how much did you size down? I just got new APC PS 29, fits pretty good its slimmer then my APC NS 28, but the waist fits/feels better. APC's are the way to goo, they feel and fit soo nice! Its unbelievable how much you pay for them.
PS. i might be putitng my APC PS 29 for sale, if they dont fit the way i wanted it too! Brand new with tags, im thinking $130?

If they're absolutely brand new, $130 would be a good price. I would even go up to $150. Since you can't really get them that cheap up North. They'll just be saving the tax on them. And if you want them to fit slim on you size down to even 3 sizes. They will be a bitch to wear to begin with but the result is worth it. I sized down 2 and they're getting baggier than I want already. (4 months in)

R&Rs are considered 'out' for guys. It's only little teenagers and older guys who don't know fashion wearing them. For the price and quality are not worth it. Kinda disappointing I bought 6 pairs over the last 2 years. Lucky I have an employee discount.

I agree that their quality isn't as good compared to other jeans in terms of the jean fabric they use. Their jeans always seem a lot thinner than others. I've worn holes in the butts on some old R&R's i've had a long time ago!!!! One even only wearing after 5 times :cry:

i dont understand why anyone would wear laguna beach. its just another knock off of true religion's thick super-t stitching and a bunch of diamonds and shiny crystals on your ass. if anything, i think thats a turn off. i feel like a hypocrite myself for saying this being that i own 6 pairs of true religions, but what happened to just simple levis or w/e? i mean i dont mind distressing here and there because i like a natural faded look but... cmon... why does everything need like a star or crystals or some kind of picture on the ass?

its like we have movies or a light show on our asses.

i had the same problem, but finally found a pair of average joes and got the opening hemmed and they fit perfect. I have a pair of grim tims that i should have ordered a size down, but they're not too bad with a belt. answering your question, hotsoaking will get rid of some loose indigo and shrink it a bit, but the waist will probably stretch back within couple days. personally my plan for mine is to tough it out, throw em in the wash in a couple months, and then it should just shrink enough for a good fit. good luck with yours, i'll give you 20 bucks of em if you don't want them :thumbsup:

yeah well you have no other choice now. yeah do a light soak so enough that they're wet evenly, and throw them into a preheated dryer.

mind you it will stretch out the more you wear it.

wear a fucking belt. haha!

room in the thighs and smaller opening (a la tapered?) hmmm well the rescues usually have more room in the thighs, depending on how you size, with a straight leg. now the new standards are more fitted, also depending on how you size em, with a tapered leg. looks like you're going to have to choose sides if you want to go apc.

Id recommend you some Uniqlo Denim or APC NS(size down 2-3 sizes, depending how slim you like them) i sized down 3 for my APC's. If you get them from APC.. it'll cost around $180USD after shipping and possibly tax! Not bad of a deal at all, much cheaper then TR's .. RnR's...

Uniqlo FTW!!! I just got another pair tonight and they're super rigid. Really nice and they only cost me 499HKD. Also, I bought a pair a couple weeks ago for 125 HKD. Not as nice but for that price I really can't complain.

Yes you're right about Uniqlo. It is like Gap basically but in case you didn't know, Gap had a selvage line which was actually quite nice. You can't argue the bang for the buck for the Uniqlo jeans though. The really rigid ones which I bought the other night fit really awesome and they're quite good quality. And for the price of the APCs, I could buy 4 pairs of Uniqlos.

AND Dior Homme is not fucking quality i can assure you that. It's the name you're paying for. Their denim is thin as fuck, and the fading properties is just as good as apc's, you can almost call them lightweight denim. So therefore FH AND SAMMIES STILL FOR THE WIN.
*DONT FIX ANYMORE K THX BAI*

[Splmash]

You're absolutely right about the Dior Hommes. I bought a pair of MII ones and they're just like APCs. I paid like 2.5 more tho. They're just overpriced APCs with two little lines on the pockets. The fit is fairly similar to the NS, so I recommend just gettings APCs.

I can't wait till I head back down to Cali. Self Edge = Denim.

Wow someone's a bit touchy today. Were you not the person who was saying that the fit is the strong point of the APCs and that their denim wasn't the greatest? So I would automatically assume that you would be willing to pay the premium for the craftsmanship and cut of the Diors (ignoring the thickness of the denim). Now I'm sorry if I offended you but I'm not one for the 6 months straight with one pair of selvage (not saying you don't have more than one pair) and I'm not exactly made of money so Uniqlo is fine for me. This is a good thread. Lets not let it go to fight club.

Hedi based the 19cm and 21cm off APC cuts. MIJ is far superior to the MII from what I hear, too. I agree with LC21 though, DH is pretty far from quality and people mainly buy it for the fit and probably because it's DH.

APC is a great entry point because of the fit/quality to price value.

For some people (not saying anybody here), raw denim is just the current trend and I would probably not recommend them to waste money on the more expensive, artisan denim.

On the other hand, raw denim is not the be-all and end-all of denim...there's lots of great washed/pre-distressed denim out there.

Anyway, it'd be nice to see some more pictures of everybody's collections or even some fade progressions!

[hongy]

I'm sorry but I already promised 2 people I'll pick up denim for 'em this time. Haha. Maybe next time. I do go down there 2-3 times a year.

Damn, well thanks anways :thumbsup:

_inwonderland: Raw denim is a trend??? lol most people think I'm crazy for not washing my jeans for more than 3 days. I bought raws because I loved the idea behind a pair of jeans that you faded and molded, etc.

as much as i hate to say this raw is starting to make a name for itself, so its becoming a trend. i might go to sanfran in may.^_^ will postfit in a lil bit

o.O really??? wtf like outside vancouver right? Because well....vancouver ppl still rock the vancouver suit

[Harvey Specter]

I have the Hedi era MIJ 21cm clawmarks and they're the best jeans I’ve ever owned.

yo anyone ragging on dior homme jeans is just too fat to fit into them, or has not owned a pair.

anti fit, slouchy, tapered = the shit

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

Fixed.

Yes you're right about Uniqlo. It is like Gap basically but in case you didn't know, Gap had a selvage line which was actually quite nice. You can't argue the bang for the buck for the Uniqlo jeans though. The really rigid ones which I bought the other night fit really awesome and they're quite good quality. And for the price of the APCs, I could buy 4 pairs of Uniqlos.

uhh please link gaps selvege line, gap suddenly came out with trial run selvege in fall 2006.

i got one of the first batch of gap morrisons that had patterened lined pockets, real selvege and it was raw, but one rinse, oh also had a crotch rivet

a few months later they came out with the gap gough, it was exactly the same but totally raw, had "japanese denim", was also completely selvege, but was lacking the patterned lined pockets. also missing crotch rivet. i picked up a pair of goughs as well.

ever since then till now, their "selvege" has become shittier and shittier and their raw becoming shittier and shittier, not only is it not REAL selvege anymore, they completely cut out the patterned pockets, crotch rivets, premium quality denim, and selvege.

it's all just crap now. i go back whenever im at the mall just to see if i can get an awesome deal and get 65 dollar (they were onsale) morrisons again, but ive never ever seen them ever after 2006.

i only own those two plus one pair of ironhearts, and tell you guys what, i only wear the morrisons and ironhearts, and ive only shrunken them, and i cold soaked the morrisons once. other than that, i never wash em, i just air em out. the morrions are pretty nicely faded. if i hot washed em they would be awesome.

my ironhearts, haha shit man, i wear them so much but they're barely faded, only the back wallet pocket, and a FEW whiskers. thats it. ironhearts are fucking tough.

i wanted to get a pair of nudies or APC, or samurai, but u know what, lol if i do, i'd just end up not wearing another pair of jeans.

raw is not for people who cant stand not washing their clothes. u don't wash raw man.

[Splmash]

Well, APCs are kinda overrated. I still love'em tho. I wear my noir ones on a daily basis. I do recommend the indigo ones over the black ones tho. They give off a much better final result(after the wash).

I'm about to break into my Self-Edge x SugarCanes. Yes, they're awesome.

[JBT]

Do you guys have any recommendations on a place to get my jeans altered in Burnaby or East Van? I'm looking to hem and taper. Any idea on general costs? I don't want to choose just any random place. Obviously jeans aren't cheap and I'd like to make sure the work is satisfactory. Please share your experiences. thanks!

Dutil in Gastown. $200 per. You can get it for cheaper in the US tho.


For my APC NS Noir, I'm getting the crotch area wear. I gotta get it patched up before they actually rip.

[yuusha]

$200... huh... where would I look if I wanted to get them in the States? Anywhere remotely near the border? Or would I have to head into Seattle?

[Splmash]

$200... huh... where would I look if I wanted to get them in the States? Anywhere remotely near the border? Or would I have to head into Seattle?

Sorry bud, I don't know anywhere in the state of WA. I bought my second pair of APCs at a store called Azalea(it's in Cali tho). but.. if you're actually in Cali, I highly recommend Self Edge.

Anyways, you can probably pick up a pair online for around 150 too.

try azalea's main site or google: denim bar

[yuusha]

^ Maybe when the dollar's doing better... orz

edit: Found 'em @ azaleasf.com, but smallest is 27", I was hoping for 26" for a true slim fit on my 29" waist...

[3xta]

I think im going to go dutil and check out some jeans. I need a new pair of slim fit jeans. But not in raw. Also min.tee, if thier 150 american on the site... you might as well just pay and extra $50 bucks and avoid all the hassle of shipping and handling.

[yuusha]

^ If it's $200 + tax at Dutil that comes to $224. I'd spend ~$190 CAD shipped to Pt. Roberts, then picking it up across the border... Yeah, $34 isn't really much saved, and I guess supporting a local store would be better eh.

Now to find the money to get new jeans, lol.

[LC21]

Shoulda saved first then look around.

Haha, the money thing is always a problem.

I wanna sell some of my denim collection(around 20 pairs atm) but most of em got either hella wear or the crotch tear(yes, it's thaaaaaaaaaaaaat big).

[_inwonderland]

$200... huh... where would I look if I wanted to get them in the States? Anywhere remotely near the border? Or would I have to head into Seattle?

I think the closest would be Blackbird in Seattle. Don't know if they carry any of the black ones though.

As for Dutil, I believe they charge more than Gravity Pope and Eugene Choo for APC's.

Fa sho, I totally forgot Gravity Pope carried APCs. Good call.

[yuusha]

^ How much is it at Eugene Choo? I looked at Gravity Pope's site and it's $195 there...

[LC21]

Why not just go save up first. Its gonna be $200 + after tax =).
But to answer your question, $185 i believe or somewhere around there.

BoysCo isn't much better anyways. Nowadays, most of the stuff they sell at BoysCo are so played out. You can probably just find half a dozen nice pieces at BoysCo nowadays. You can't call the clothing there 'high' fashion whatsoever. Anyways, cheapest thing to do is to cop a pair off a forum somewhere.

And for the tapered situation, sorry mate I dunno much about where you can get that done. Never ran into that situation. but I'm sure the people at Stitch can help you. They're usually hella professional when it comes to denim/alterations.

Ew Grim Tims... Sorry but they're just a crappier version of Slim Jims. The quality of the denim will show its weaknesses before your first wash. And no, I do not know where you can get 'em. Sorry.

Well you can find the grim trim cut at a store around west 4th. I forgot the name but its near komar and Pacific boarder

I'll be heading into the states in about week. Was thinking about picking up another pair of jeans, ideally a pair of Nudies. Is it worth getting in the states? Or is the price going to be more or less the same as Vancouver. What do you guys think?

[filth]

their probably going to price cheaper down there but i dont think nudies are worth it imo. There are much better jeans in that price range.
