I might get sniped for posting this as pretty much everyone hates Nudies here...

But w/ 25% discount...

Is it worth to spend lil over $100 for these???
If not, can anyone introduce to to some nice straight cut Selvage denim?

yeah get some apc. judging by the cut you chose there you might actually like the new standard better. look at the petite standard too, i like it better personally. they retail for 155 so there isn't a huge difference there.

Thanks all!
I've considered APC's & the price seem pretty reasonable...
However I can never really find quality denim in cut I like.
I like something bit relaxed w/ lower rise & no tapering over 1/2"
& due to my enormous calves (L=15.5, R=15.75) I need something that's @ least 7.5 in the leg opening.

Something in between Dior 21cm & Nudie Slimjim's what I'm looking for & I haven't found any yet.

These look pretty good:

Worth crap? Since when was it worth crap? Is that according to the SF Gods or has that become another trend on the Honest Forum?

na just compared to most raw jeans they are low on the totem pole

apc's arent far ahead of em either [i own apcs and like em though]

some say they are crap because they are made of thinner denim than some of the others...
some say they tear or blowout...
i dont know..
but i have figured out that some say they are crap because they have a noticable pocket design...(branding)....which alot of the raw denim snobs are against..
i dont care about that stuff...its not a big deal..i like the way the pockets look.....
who knows........i may get a pair...

I think Nudie makes decent jeans at decent price.
APC is great too, as suggested above.

Think it this way.

Nudie, italian/japanese denim fabric, made in Italy, import duty = expensive

APC, chinese denim, made in macau (well, nearly china), cheaper duty (as price is cheaper) = still expensive but not as good as nudie, quality-wise.

I would buy dior though

^don't think of it that way.

and you say you would buy dior, yet say APCs that retail for $155 are expensive?
