here is a store in japan that ships to the us so you dont have to go through a proxy. i priced a pair of samurai 5000vx's on there and it came to 280something. plus they have the tabs and arcs still. i'm gonna order them pretty soon. i dont know if customs is gonna hit me with some extra chargesthough...

as i've said many times before in this thread, STF's will NOT FADE WELL.
if you want some quick fading, buy some nudies. they fade extremely fast (4-5 months of wear). apc's won't fade as fast either.

yea nudies fade fast..
and you're jsut referring to the standard cheapest STFs right? I was under the pression that other Levi's with the STF tag that cost more fadedbetter (pretty sure they weren't LVC, but still were STF)

correct. i'm not too familiar with levi's lines, so i may be wrong but i believe stf's only come in the standard cheap levi's. lvc is theirhighest line, and the closest to a "stf" are just their raw denim offerings. the stf's are the inferior, pseudo-raw, cheap versions of raws.

There is some serious misinformation on this page... I've responded to too many questions to correct each one right now.
The $+%% about APC denim not fading, STFs being "pseudo-raw", etc...

there is a classic 501 E that costs about $150 that is raw, stf.
i'll show you guys my stfs later. they have actually faded very well. i know the denim is not up to par on others, but it did the job for me as an intro tojeans.

apc doesn't fade well, this is obvious when compared to nudies (and other heavy denim brands likeIH).
i called stf's "pseudo raw" because it's just a cheap version of raw, it doesn't fade as well as most people on here would think.everyone's comparing higher end denim fade photographs with questions like "how can i get this with my stf's?" while the answer is "ifyou wear your stf's biking 5 hours a day for a year."
no misinformation, just speaking from a different context.

has anyone tried JOHN BULL denim?
i found a pair for a good price. I can't really have a choice to pick my size. I normally wear size 28-29 for straight legs. Right now I wear my GAP easyfit (
) in a size 29 and i like how they fit. I prefer my Gap over myseven because they feel more durable. So will a John Bull fit this criteria? they Only have a size 28 too.
