Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[turbospartan]

I have a pair and I love them. That being said I rock my Uniqlo denim more often.

What Uniqlo pair do you have? I have a pair of slim lightwash selvedge that I had tapered down to 6.5" leg opening, that are probably my most comfortable pair of denim. I like the JE denim and I think the measurements are close to what my Uniqlo pair is, except the JE seem very low rise in the front

I think I may have the same pair. No alterations tho. I agree with you on the JE.

The polo is by Tom Ford.

I appreciate the J.Crew responses. I need to grab some NB's. Headed to DC tomorrow and really need something to walk around in, hate packing shoes.

I have enough 484 chinos and denim but love the quality.

I need to start wearing a belt and tighten it real tight. Low-rise slim jeans have me looking like a plumber. The waists aren’t even loose, they just slide down when I sit or get down to pick something up.

Anyone have any advice on John Elliot denim? Im looking at the Cast 2 but not sure if they are worth the price tag. I tried them on instore and love the fit. Any advice or alternatives would be helpful.

Check out American Eagle flex jeans.
Their washes remind me a lot of JE.

Get higher rise jeans.
Low rise jeans are a no go for me.

Heard great things about AE flex jeans.

The only jeans I wear now. Can’t find a complaint yet.

I'm weird about logos on my clothes. How is that back tag looking like on them?

So you'd say the JE are pretty low rise?

I’m the same way. It’s simple to me. I wear a belt most of the time too. I had one that had a bigger tag but I took it off.

Idk how the new ones fit. I have a pair form his first season.

goat denim
i have about 5-6 pairs...2 of them which i wear the most has gotten over 100 wears easy.
they have held up perfectly and im not gentle with my clothes at all. the opposite actually

def not a low rise...more mid rise imo

 

[ROYGBiV]

5-6 pairs? Damn bro

 

[boxdok]

I can vouch for John Elliott too. I have about 5 pairs my self. If you can only afford one pair i would advise you get the dillion indigo. It is the most expensive out of the bunch but the denim quality and fit is worth it. Its has stretch but still hold its shape and the denim feels substantial. Also, it has a really small leg opening which i prefer. Saks is running a pretty good sale where you can get 100 bucks off

 

[ROYGBiV]

Back then during season 1 I thought the prices were od. Now its ridiculous, but like y'all said the quality is there.

 

[jape]

5-6 pairs? Damn bro

yeah it's def excessive. i find myself only wearing the same 3 pairs though tbh.

-harlot (goat)
- onyx
- obsidian

Whats the deal? The SAKSHAPPY promo code?

I think they do free returns right? I'm unsure on sizing and no local stockists here in Denver

What's a "good" deal during sale season? When do they usually go on sale?

you'll see 20-30%...winter season ...black friday through holiday season
some of the smaller sites you can find up to 40%

and after summer season i believe

 

[polonike]

Thanks for all of the JE suggestions. Quality is what I was mainly concerned with. Last few pairs of jeans have had blow outs and I just want a quality pair that lasts.

 

[northoaklandfc]

JE fit is amazing but hate how almost all their stuff is distressed.

 

[cruthik3]

My go to is Marin Tailor, 10925 Santa Monica Blvd., LA

Thanks for the rec! They did a great job!
