Proper selvedge jeans

Would it be too difficult to judge this new company on their own merits?

Picked this up for 49 nicker at Albam today. Seemed like a good deal and the fit is ace. Stiff as fuck mind.

Looks nice. I always like the look of denim jakcets but never see anything that make think Yes! that would look good on me.

I like it because it's parred down, almost like a shirt. It doesn't have a thousand rivets and seams and isn't distressed or washed at all. The main clincher was the price; it was already good value at the £105 full price. It's going to take a lonnnggggg time to break in though.

I'm guessing it's roughly based on a Levi's Type 1:

Simple looking lines, indeed. Either way good choice.

I hope you're gonna wear it fastened?

Not until it's softened up a bit I won't!

Do I get extra denim nerd points if it's done up?

right to the neck, yes

So Hiut Denim made it into the news... the jeans look good and are made in Wales. Still, I struggle with justifying £230 for a pair of jeans

Wouldn't mind shelling 230 for a pair if they're worth it. A few photos of how they actually fits would be handy, rather than some tosser with a camera.

Proper shit imagery.

look nice though - should do for £230

Nerd

Top button done up please

Don't worry. They like bread.

so do I. should I buy them then?

Depends how epic you like your bread to be.

if you like bread that means you're like an artisan right? like you're 'keepin' it real' etc.? bread costs pennies maaaan......so how come the jeans are fucking £230?! pfft!

Can someone explain the need to do up top buttons (esp minus ties)? Is this the reason I can't get a yentz off arty birds- cos my plaid shirt aint done up to the top?

it's about looking stiff whilst grubby. It's a fine line.

Right, I'm off to copy SP (and get me staff discount :P)

ref. denim jackets, what's the style credence with wearing it only with the top button done up?

ask your girlfriend, they always know style

NEVER do this. You're neither in a boy band nor a remake of "The Outsiders".

girlfriend?? pfffft.. my wife wears a uniform of neoprene wellies and barbour tied closed with baler twine, the unique 'aroma' of horse piss heralding her presence.

the last time i bought her a nice clothing item it ended up as a dog bandage..

thanks b&d, i did wonder why yoot sometimes wear them this way

So, if I hypothetically had a denim jacket that was made from stout-as-fuck raw selvedge, what could one do to soften it up and/or lighten it? You know, other than merely wearing it?
