Cant believe Union is thought as of "overground" Allie you can always tell clothing labels arent cool anymore when the likes of me are wearing them
hows that like ? id rather somewhere in town sell them than getting them via mail order only to find id need to size down or something... however the older guy that works in union is one of the biggest fucking areseholes ive ever met
Haha .... they are M&S ones right? I remember eclipse jeans .... proper chav uniforms they were. Having said that, with the amount of crap being daubed on jeans these days (in the name of 'fashion') we arent far off large embroidered canabis leaves
actually, i'd like to point out a horrible misunderstanding on my part. for some reason, the mention of 'union' made me think of 'u.s.c'. every pair of jeans i've bought for the last six years have come from union! the lad who used to work in union and now works in tanners/northumberland arms is the most knowledgeable denim enthusiast i've ever met.
the young lads who work there are spot on, really knowledgeable lads the old bloke is a tit tho, i went in lookin at some nudie jeans, i also had a pair on. the guy waltzed over and started giving me patter about what new nudies they had in. he then pointed to a pair of regular ralf's saying 'aye thats what you have on', thinking he was some pure wicked denim spotter. i said they werent these regular ralfs and ended up getting into an argument about it ! he was adamant my jeans were RR's, in the end i had to unbutton them and get the label out showing they were straight svens. he was gutted. total cock end.
haha. he's always sound when i go in like, but a few people have said that. i'm not a big fan of the regular ralfs, but years ago when union first got nudie in they only really had that and another couple of fits. i have a pair of regular ralfs and a pair of loose franks, which are a wicked fit.
i like levis vintage collection ones...1947 501's or 1967 511 are the best fits imo, samurai jeans and iron heart are mint but £££, edwins are good for cheaper ones..
nice to see some other people into their dry/raw denim on here.. ive got some straight svens, 2 average joes, thin finns and a pair of low slim jims too.
iv had these - http://www.oki-ni.com/invt/lev0027blu a year and half with only one wash..the fading looks quality but they dont fit me anymore
loads of good denim brands, just depends what fit you like, dry or washed, and the price range. I just like A.P.C New Cure or LVC 1954's - cos they fit me well, and we stock them so I don't have to pay for them! Edwin Sen Slims and Nashville are good, and I like the skinny Nudie ones too (don't know what they are called). Everyone likes different fits, and it just depends what fits you best!
i fancied a pair of those SEN's like but didnt like the selvedge coinpocket...ive got some edwin nashville's and greenvilles too but theyre far too big
