>acne
>troll

lmao fuck off fatty

the joeys r skin tight

the dictator slims are prolly less tight

>>7333440
I want cut AND quality. Thats why im not considering them

I really don't get it. You can get the same jeans for a third of the price, it's not like denim is an expensive material.

>>7333432
u know april77 is basically welfare acne right?

>>7333455
Okay thanks. Can you recommend something better than acne then?

>>7333445

you wont get either with april 77

>>7333445
once upon a time, this board used to rave about the quality of acne.

i swear the moment something gets popular on here, there's always a group that goes against the status quo just because everyone likes it.

This.

After exams, I'm going to hit up the ACNE store to check for quality and fit.

pure blue japan
momotaro

acne is the best you can do at that price. maybe apc if youre really fat...
just save up a little and get dh,slp or even balmain

Anyone have experience w/ rick denim?

>>7333809

the sizing can be extremely erratic, i really recommend trying it on in person, some seasons i wear a size 26 detroit and some seasons i need a 30.

the washes/details are fucking cool though, i love the thigh darts/back pockets/hems

>>7333826
Yeah, I had a feeling that might be a case. Unfortunately haven`t got any areas near me in which I can try them on.

Pic related are a pair I just ordered kind of dove into the purchase but I don`t plan on being disappointed, return is easy since it's Ssense and I live in Ontario.

Hey, /fa/

I'm gonna hitchhike on this guy's thread.

I've never owned a pair of nice jeans. Every pair of jeans I've had were Levi's from a mall store or $30 Denizens from Target (grew up poor)

I need a pair of black skinny jeans for around $100.

I have a pair of Denizens that are 32x32 skinny and they fit me, but the cut/measurement may be off because shit quality.

How do these look?

>>7333838
try Levis as a break in pair. You can find stores easily and they are pretty cheap if you can find a sale/thrift them

ive been wearing these 1997 helmut lang jeans i found. they are size 31 way too big but i dont give a fuck because the details are so cool.

they have this huge stripe of resin that goes around the front and back, and they are double layered in the back with these huge pockets in the thigh area (see ruler). i have to pinroll them but im kind of digging baggy jeans lately.

>>7333835

oh legit, if you have free returns, go for it, those look like a good skinny one.

>>7333855
way 2 answer ur email i alredi went downtown
didnt find good sweatshirt fleece but i copped a bitchin dblknt with a crisp hand 4 eggcore fits

>>7333855
Wow, man. The pieces you manage to find is ridiculous haha. The larger fit suits your personal style regardless. You dress laxed so whatever.

I'm a fan of more tight fitting jeans I'm a slim dude. So I hope these fit well. Been lookign for a solid pair of jeans for a long time. Also 3% stretch fabric so I mean room for error.

>>7333845

Are Levi's even that much nicer than Denizens though?

I want to actually step up. I can have a million pairs of Levi's, I just want one pair of jeans that's actually nice.

>>7333869

haah sorry i never check mail, hows school?

if you need killer knits for cheap, go to the fidm store, some times they get james perse knits and theyre all $1/yard. I used to buy rolls of great knits there.

>>7333870

ah yeah the stretch in drkshdw tends to vary, lots of the older stuff is like 9% i think, so its super stretchy which can be nice if you want a legging kind of fit, looks like they have a pretty simple wash so theyll be a bit more versatile than a dust wash or one of the crazy blue/grey ones (which are also awesome

>>7333883
Levis are well made and well priced, man. Perhaps you should just make the jump if you feel that way. Why not? I would persoanlly try and find a pair to try on at a store.

>>7333885
Yeah, I'm honestly a fan of the pair of jeans you just throw on and can wear all day and night restrictions are a hate for me. The more universal the better.

>>7333885
>skool

goat
construction class basically over
got grading & art & pattern lined up 4 spring didn't rly have the prereqs 2 squeeze in anything else mite b nice to just focus on the pattern class cuz i have it seperate

aitor throup exhibit @ h lorenzo goat of all time

>>7333885
What are the best stores to hit up for sick finds?

Moving back to la soon, Silverlake area. Need some new places that have decent finds.

>>7333894
btw i fit into a size 0 devoa lady blazer i am a fashion model now ~(◡‿◕✿)

but i didnt fit into a rick 38 looks like im 40 :(:(:(:(:(:(:(

>>7333887

>levi's are well made

no, they're not. Maybe the high end ones, but most of their stuff is shit.

>>7333910
For their price? I disagree with you. Though I was not 100% clear on my post.

>>7333894

im glad you like it man, i had such a good time at that school, really try to make sure youre in mrs kims class for patternmaking, she is amazing, her pattern 1 class is more like a mixture of flat pattern/draping techniques which is a really cool approach.

and yeah, i want to go see aitors stuff in london when i have time.

>>7333897

yep its kind of a challenge to find good versatile denim thats fun to wear, but i think its nice to have just one pair of minimal slim black jeans.

>>7333899

rag finders of america, fidm store, there is a decent place on the northeast corner of 9th and maple, idk the name. zip up for hardware (expensive but its worth it because most hardware places suck)

>>7333918
idek the teachers 4 spring r thornton and sapos and staff and i signed up under staff
i have kim 4 art tho
& drebskaya 4 grading

btw the aitor display was gr8
he built the denim jacket, some kind of sheer mesh jacket, and a blazer on the same block, but totally slashed away and reworked the front panels & length etc
construction was super technical, waterproof

>>7333883
levi's are decent for the price. They are of much better quality than denizen. They last for years. and I wear them when I'm working on cars and shit like that.

I've had a pair of denizens for less than a year and they've torn in multiple places. I just keep adding patches. Seriously, denizens are garbage. not worth the price.

I'm currently wearing a pair of N&F black power stretch when I go out. Coming up on a year with no washes in january. Really looking forward to the year mark cuz then I can buy new jeans. I like the fit but I'm over how skinny they are. Especially since my legs are getting bigger from exercise.

>>7333930
oh they're N&F black power stretch skinny guys.

Anyone have recommendations for something slightly less skinny?

Which pair of acnes? must be black

What do you guys think of these?

>>7333930
I'll take this into consideration.

I think I just need to go to the mall and try on a bunch of different pairs of jeans until I find one I like.

This may be more of a /fit/ question, but should I keep my legs small? I was thinking about getting a YMCA membership and going ottermode, but it seems beneficial to keep my legs small so I can wear nice jeans that my quads fit into.

>>7333927

yeah the construction on aitors new stuff is particularly incredible, which is really nice to see after looking at the finishing on his earlier skull bags. I cant wait to see in person.

do not take sapos class. thornton is a bit better, but still. drebskaya is fucking awesome in everything, and kim teaches a really good sketching class as well, so that will be nice. im excited for you, that shit is so fun, im kind of a nerd i loved grading

>>7333957
well i signed up under staff so idek who im learnin from yet. i dont want to wait tho and i kind of want 2 leave my summer open 2 learn so no way am i taking pattern drafting in fall i need 2 make clothes now
gonna start working on my sketching 2 im terrible need 2 hit ground running 4 sketching class

btw im friends w/ everyone now
lots of sassy black ladies in my class and this one fierce model status girl who manages to make h&m look kind of chic if u dont look 2 close at it

>>7333941
I've only heard good things about ysl's black jeans

>>7333974

twerk ur back in school? good to hear man

r u looking to go to another school after LA?

>>7333985
gonna go werq 4 rick owens cant wait

>>7333974
Wanna be my fr8 m8?

You might try Rogue Territory SK's in black.

I hear it's got great quality, and the cuts are fantastic. Similar to APC PSs and Acne from what people tell me.

>>7333974

haha just chill at starbucks, buy a shitty green tea and do gestures for hours. i used to do that on weekends, its so fun, sometimes id get an audience but its great practice

i used to hate how i sketched but more and more it feels good, its gotten automatic, now its fun

for sketching, for me, i think the key was to learn to love it, you start to improve from there. I still think my sketches are kind of shit, but at least i can communicate something

>>7333855
user, what's your height and weight?

>>7334015

Yeah thats fun, When I moved to Bangkok I used to get coffee and sit on the steps near some of the malls and just sketch shopers for an hour or two.

>>7333930
Why would you go for a year without washing them?

They aren't raws, dude. I'm pretty sure you don't need to do that.

>>7334031

5'9'' 125-130

>>7334050

the fact that you have usually less than 30 sec. makes it so good i think, gets you thinking fast

>>7334062
thanks. btw, that fit is really good. saved. ok to post it on my tumblr?

>>7334067

yeah sure man, no problem

>>7333432
I like my overdyed nudies but I don't really know what to be looking for in great black skinnies. Just a deep color that doesn't fade, fabric that doesn't rip and feels soft, and good stitching that lasts?

>>7334072
hey man, do you have any recommendations for combat boots like your ricks but without the egregious zipper on there?
i really love the heavy, clunky military boot silhouette, a lot of models i find are too slim and refined
any recs you could give would be great
