trying to choose my first pair of raw denim

Thread Starter 
ok so i knew nothing about raw denim up until like 4days ago but i definitely want to make the leap...

my budget is no more then 200.00 w/ tax and shipping for my first pair (im sure if it goes well i'll be more willing to shell out more money for future pairs)

i tried to do some research before i posted a topic i guess people say APC and NUDIE are good for starters...im really down for anything in my price range

i looked online at APC's and i like the NS...but i dont like how narrow they are where they hit your shoe (i dont know the proper term for that)

i would like it a tad wider and there other model is too baggy


anyhoo maybe a company and style that fits like diesel zatiny

and i really want lots of fades, honey combs, whiskers....alot of contrast if that helps w/ what goal im after

any suggestions?

apc new standards are just regular straight legs...i dont have an exact measurement but my guess it that the leg opening is probably around 8"
