blue is the color of jeans, if you are deviating from that color, there should be a distinct need or ideological stance if you're replacing blue as the default color. highlight colors, such as a deep red or novelty white are allowed under certain circumstances

feel like if they're black 501s you're required to wear a cowboy-style shirt and black sombrero

apc new standards are like 200 bux now? feel like just a few years ago they were ~120-140. some bullshit.

i just have an extremely limited color palette, i only wear like 3 colors

yeah i'm just prodding you to see if my own ideas are any good

wearing black jeans right now tbh

mh 😏, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 16:09 (seven years ago) link

is black a color? i really shifted to buying a disproportionate amount of black clothing in the last few years and i'm going to say "i don't wear colors, just black/white/grey" is a stance

mh 😏, Tuesday, 21 February 2017 16:11 (seven years ago) link

correct

i don't.... see colors. just clothing.

I had always been averse to black jeans I suppose on an anti-aging rocker/goth basis but have come to love my first pair. however, my primary love remains the grey jean

Yeah those pale stonewashed hip huggers are everywhere, dyin' for spring

I think the saving grace for her blue jeans is the careful, clever cuff folding. Or it might be the vertical lines of the wash. Or that she wears them so low

there quickly comes a point when the new jeans eclipse the old; what was once broken-in and trustworthy begins to feel sloppy and loose

So today I learned about detachable jeans for the first time in my life.

I'm highly confused and not a little anxious about this trend

is your body okay?

it looks like a denim diaper

it reminds me of when id pull my barbies' limbs off and this is how the legs looked just before they snapped back into place.

one year passes...

y'all I am craving a pair of simple slim-cut dark blue indigo jeans w/ yellow stitching, I used to love 511's but now they're all stretchy w 1% elastene which makes me think they won't last more than a year. I also used to love UNIQLO's but they only make 100% cotton jeans in straight cut now. Can I get jeans like this for under $100???? I'm reading that Unbranded is decent???

vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 23:19 (five years ago) link

or can anyone convince me that stretchy jeans ARE actually durable?

vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 23:21 (five years ago) link

i like unbranded if the fit works for u

call all destroyer, Tuesday, 14 August 2018 23:23 (five years ago) link

or Gustin maybe???

vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 23:27 (five years ago) link

ugh i wish i could go try Unbranded jeans on but they don't sell them in my state or any states near me

vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 23:27 (five years ago) link

501s?

calstars, Tuesday, 14 August 2018 23:30 (five years ago) link

i love gustin, big fan. be very confident in yr measurements if you go that route tho.

call all destroyer, Tuesday, 14 August 2018 23:40 (five years ago) link

I love the idea of 501s and how they look on a lot of other ppl but I don’t think they work well w my skinny twig legs

vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 23:45 (five years ago) link

the thing is that you can’t tell how big the legs are unless you roll em up because they’re wide enough

mh, Tuesday, 14 August 2018 23:52 (five years ago) link

I think the Levi's 514s ( i have to double check) are pretty good for tall dudes with thin legs. They aren't stretchy but there is definitely a little variability in softness depending on the wash. Plus levi's always has some type of sale going on online.

Yerac, Tuesday, 14 August 2018 23:57 (five years ago) link

those were my go-to for years before the whole selvedge madness

i can't find exactly the right ones on the website, the ones i like are just paul smith jeans, black patch, made in japan but don't carry the premium price of whatever the japanese denim line is, just under a hundred bucks... but i recommend those

XxxxxxxXxxxxxxxxXxxxx (dylannn), Wednesday, 15 August 2018 00:13 (five years ago) link

I'm a fan of 511s

Lee also used to have some nice slim fit jeans, at least in the UK

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 15 August 2018 00:54 (five years ago) link

Edwins rule, for me. I just bought a pair of organic cotton slim fit for not much money (I think $A80) on eBay. Dyed, woven, made in Japan too. Their selvedge denim ones, and the "sen" denim (kind of ashy indigo) are great too.

i'm all about 501s these days once i figured out how to wear them. they now make both a skinny and a tapered version which may work better for your legs. they're always on sale so they can be had quite cheap. in fact, i bought two this weekend for $30 each

diamonddave85​​ (diamonddave85), Wednesday, 15 August 2018 03:01 (five years ago) link

yea i switched to 501s a couple years ago and now that's all i wear. they are cheap and levis always puts out different washes that I like. the button fly grew on me a lot now I love it
