Obviously Levi's is a classic you can't knock, but if you see the way a pair of Japanese selvedge that have been hand died using natural indigo pigment wear over time, it's hard not to fall in love with them. Granted Levi's get a personality of their own after rocking them for a few years, naturally died selvedge have personality right from the start (without all the need for the artificially created whisking and treatments). Anyhow, to each their own I guess...

I live close to the store and know a few people, so I've never had to go the mark up route on the Supreme gear. As far as I'm concerned if there's anything worth dropping loot on, its denim. Shit lasts years if you take good care of it. And good denim actually gets better with age. I usually get 2 - 3 pairs a year, maybe more if I get a good deal. If you happen to be in or around NYC, go check out the 45rpm store in Soho. Their denim is a work of art.

no, Supreme t-shirts are $24 when you get them at the store. I was referring to Rpgan and PRPS.

Anyone else into high-end denim (japanese and domestic selvedge). Personally I'd down to throw down a grip on nice denim, but the prices Rogan and PRPS is asking these days seems like a stretch. Seems like last year, they broke past the $200 barrier by going from $180 to $220. Today I was checking out Union NYC and now Rogans are all at $240 - $290 and the same exact denim PRPS was pushing last season for $240 is now $290. Granted PRPS is doing some nice stuff despit me still not being a fan of the short wide cut, but that seems awfully high even for a niche brand doing japanese selvedge. Granted I've dropped $450 for a pair of 45rpm's that were too sick to pass on, I don't think I'm willing to pay those kids of prices for domestic brands even if the denim is imported, or especially for domestic denim. Any one else into premium denim kinda turned off by this? On a similar note, what's up with all the companies also asking $50 - $65 for simple t-shirts?!

ANIMATED GIF HALL OF FAME SUPERTHREAD Figured since Tease's thread was so funny, I'd kick off a more general version for the best of the best animated gif's online. Here's a new favorite to get the ball rolling... http://www.12ozprophet.com/art/girl_s.gif'>
