Is I look good and you look through, take that! (lyrics by Scorpio on Step Off from 1984, shamelessly bitten for thread title)

Ok, let me state very clearly that this is in no way personal and is just a general observation. It’s also just a bit of tongue-in-cheek fun as I’m bored at work so please don’t take it seriously or be offended but…

Whenever I’m looking through the “Today I’ll mostly be wearing” threads it never ceases to amaze me just how bad some of the jeans that our American members are willing to sport. Don’t take this the wrong way guys but your taste in jeans is mostly in the category that I call “Dad Denim” You know the type, all really heavily stonewashed to hell and back, nasty skinny threads on the seems and just long enough to reach the shoe with no gathering or turn up at the bottom, the kinda shit that only ya Dad would rock over here in the UK. I mean you all have faultless taste in footwear, choose a great looking shoe, spend ages considering the right laceflip for it, maybe add a jewel, always keep ‘em boxfresh and tidy but then go and mash it up by teaming them with some wack lookin cheap-ass denim selection! Wha' gwaan?

I’m sure they’re not and that it’s just a cultural thing, you guys like a different style to us, same as a lot of you don’t rock turn ups either. But it did make me wonder, do you guys look at us and think “Man, those Brits with their funny…” So, and this is open to everybody wherever you are, are there any other funny cultural differences between countries that you’ve noticed? Does anyone have any habits you find a bit odd? Let’s keep it friendly and general though eh, no personal attacks!

shell shock my brother....lol....as far as jeans i wear guess, kennethcole and dkny they look good 2 me...lol
what brands do u guys wear?

[Shellshock]

Yo BL,
Nice picture! It's maybe not so much about the brands we favour, more the colour and cut you guys seem to prefer. Me personally, I like Replay, Evisu, G-Star and Diesel but always go for darker jeans, don't usually like the lighter tones or faded ones unless they're proper vintage Levis.

[BABYLATIN]

u know bro out the brands u just mentioned i only know diesel...me i go 4 what ever i like and looks good on stage or a perticular top

[steve-o]

best pairs of jeans I've got would be Evisu
pricey yes, but loooove them

also got an american brand called Affliction which are pretty good

[reid]

Affliction do jeans now? I know they do £60 tees, can't imagine how expensive their denim must be

[steve-o]

they retail for $239us, I picked up a pair from emoda.com last year heavily discounted for under $100us
was great at the time, aussie $ was buying mid 90c US! now its in the 60s

[pirate]

Thats what I'm talkin' about!



Not surprisingly off a site called "american jeans"

[Shellshock]

That's it right there, my point perfectly illustrated, thank you Pirate. If you could scroll down further on that picture you'd be able to see his Supes!

Where are our cousins from accross the pond to offer comment on this thread?

For me there are several brands of jean I wear, Evisu, Levis and L-R-G, and most of the denims I have are relatively dark washes unless its a vintage wash...

What I dont get is jeans with frayed raggeddy ass bottoms why?

[pokey27]

Diesel,evisu,replay,g-star,D&G for me.Same as most here it looks like
I do own a pair of said raggedy bottomed jeans!!!I guess you sometimes just get that 1 really comfy pair u can't seem to throw away even if you know you should.

Too busy trying to find some none stonewashed jeans to put on

[Lorrie]

It's an American phenomenon.

I mainly stick with 7's, but I also rock Earnest Sewn, Levi's Shrink to Fit (unwashed, of course) and adidas/Diesels.

[Aric47G]

mostly cut&sew but with the adidasXdiesel i picked up a couple pairs
