    Haha. Great choice! Well, 300 bucks poorer in cash but 300 bucks richer in denim. ;)

    Enjoy wearing the hell out of it. Pictures please!

    Haha I'll try to wear them on a daily basis. Apparently the humid weather helps to fade it abit more. I'll update in a month or 2. =) thanks brother! [​IMG]

    My first and only pair of raw selvedge that I've had for about 3 years, are these UB201's from the Unbranded Brand out of Canada. I like keeping them darker so there's not a ton of fading but I've enjoyed the way they've broken in and honeycombed behind the knees. They get worn about once a week and have seen 3 or 4 hand washes in the bathtub with Wolite dark. I believe they ship for free to the US now, and the exchange rate was pretty favorable when I bought them, plus they're definitely on the less expensive side of raw selvedge denim to begin with.

    @gophishin - Hi buddy. Thanks for joining the thread.

    You certainly know your denim. Hand washing it with Woolite Dark and all that. :thumbsup: Your UB is fading nicely. Respect, buddy!

    UB is a sister company of Naked & Famous. Both brands aim to provide quality selvedge denim at affordable prices. UB's pricing is slightly lower than N&F. Both offer great quality denim with N&F offering a wider selection of fabrics.

    Im 32 waist 36 length... only jeans that fit right are 7's. The Japanese stuff is great but always to short for me.

    I live in Greensboro, NC home to Cone Mills. Just announced today that the famous denim factory that has been in business for over 100 years will be closing down. So save those jeans, may be worth something one day.

    I got it from Zara. Quite a while back. It's pretty nice but the leather's breaking apart after a 2-3 years of useage.

    @Foo2rama - Hi Foo! Check out 'House of Oneculture'. Their inseams are 38 inches long, purposely made to cater to taller guys.

    Another brand to check out is 'Rogue Territory'. Inseams are 36 inches.

    All fabrics are Japanese, sewn in USA. Prices are quite reasonable. Good luck! :thumbsup:

    that's truly sad, I hope it will be bought by Levi's or any other jeans manufacture.

    @Koen - Are you looking for brick and mortar stores or online shops?

    it doesn't really matter, as long if it's in the eu.
    I probably don't know where to look, but its kinda hard to find non raw selvedge jeans over here.

    appreciate it fellow
