From what I've read a while back, Momotaro etc. is cheaper if copped from Japan. Always digged PBJ with the leaf on the back pocket too. I use a proxy service to get stuff from Y!J.

mr.yuck Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 So ive been on the hunt for heavier jeans for a minute. I just started reading up on what selvedge is. Im looking for them for work, but I'll be damned if I pay $300 for some work pants. I found a company called unbranded with 14 oz selvedge for like $88 a pair. Does anybody have any experience with this unbrand brand? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wearing unbranded right now and i'm very happy with them...i beat the shit out of them and they're holding up but they're made in china to keep costs down which is, imo, the only down side look at brave star selvage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its unfortunate because China produces some top quality shit. Ive been on both ends of the China deal. Like years ago my wife ordered some leggings from a Chinese ebay company and the ad stated one size fits all. My wife is a shorty and the top of the leggings didnt even come up to the bottom of her crotch. We laughed about it and she secided that they were probably one size fits all chinese children. Do you think the unbranded jeans would be constructed better of they were from somewhere else or is your issue with slave labor practices?

mr.yuck Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 @glorydaysits a weird prospect for sure. There is so much dirt going on in china, you never hear of factories that pay liveable wages or realistic working hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glorydays Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 but it seems they are continuing with that selvedge raw denim tradition by making an in-house pair at 120, im copping this shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the loose restrictions/standards especially in Italy (Prato) and the Chinese immigrants there. Yet, here I am, just copped knockoff LV monogram table mat and slides from China. China does get a bad rap because it's the shitty factories in the spotlight. Burberry moved their production to Chinese just a few short years ago. With the exception of MIJ denim (to an extent), I don't care where my designer clothes are made from. Generally speaking, that allure is long gone for me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The materials used, the quality of the machinery, quality of the environment its made, and is it harmful to the environment as a whole. Look at the uniqlo raw selvedge denim. the price is so low it makes you wonder how they're made and where they come from. and they make so many of them, where does the denim come from and what kind of machines do they use.

glorydays Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 copping these and getting them hemmed in house apparently brave star bought out all the cone mills denim stock after the mill closed the brand, weirdly enough, is bringing back my love for raw selvedge and the way streetwear was like back in the 2000s the jeans look like the raw japanese denim BAPE was coming out with way back then brave star woodsman cone mills denim in skeleton skinny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
