Re: On Jeans...
Anyone here of this mid-level made in the USA Levi 501 with selvedge for about $90? I read about it on SuperFuture : http://supertalk.superfuture.com/showthread.php?t=34036
Varying accounts of quality, but it might be just my speed. Though those Sugarcanes looks awfully nice too.

Re: On Jeans...
Looking for a cheap pair of jeans for the cool weather, I saw raw denim jeans at H & M yesterday. Seemed pretty good and robust for (I think) EUR 30.
If they have them in the requisite shortass size I'll get a pair and report...

Sta-Prest cords.
This site also has a pretty decent collection of other Levis gear, including the 1947 jean. Not sure if the prices are reasonable or not, but they don't seem terribly, terribly off, considering.

Andy Warhol's manager, Fred Hughes, used to wear tailored suit jackets with crisply pressed blue jeans.
Maybe that's where Warhol got his inspiration.

Re: On Jeans...
Lots of interesting stuff on that site, including these two classics.

It's a pity these are sold out.

Re: On Jeans...
Style macher Tim Gunn wears jeans from JCrew. I checked them out and the vintage slim and bootcut jeans seem perfectly acceptable, if not by the denim cognoschenti.

Re: On Jeans...
Not really sure on the construction. I know that Kabbaz has some complaints about high end jean construction, but take that for what it is. I can't imagine any jean falling apart at the seams, but the difference in price vs. a pair of J Crew jeans is disconcerting as no denim is that expensive.

Re: On Jeans...
I met the one and only Tokyo Slim yesterday and accompanied him on a jeans-buying excursion to Uniqlo in Ginza. It was a quick education in decent, cheap denim.

Re: On Jeans...
Chums,
the ol' 5 pocket cord is back. Or at least recreated by ol' Bill. I wonder how they are?
He's also making denim jeans, but these don't look very appealing I must say.
