Classic Straight-fit jean in Japanese selvedge denim

Definitely 4 stars at the sale price. Probably 12.5-13.5oz sanforized denim, fit is slightly bigger than 501s with just the right amount of rise, just wish there were 2 more belt loops. Runs bigger in the waist than the non-selvedge classic fit jcrew denim, I own the black and natural classic fit in 34x32, bought these in 33x32 and they're still a little loose (in a good way) but definitely size down unless you want them super loose in the waist. Don't sleep on the sale price, not at the level of other selvedge options but with the deep discount they're worth every penny and I won't feel the need to baby them at all

First off i do not believe these are raw denim, they're just dark wash. Secondly, the smell of these things are terrible. It has a very powerful chemical smell to them. I even washed them and they still smell this way. I'm trying to get a refund now, as theyre basically unwearable. Having said that, if you can deal with the foul odor, the cut is nice! :D

Having owned quite a few pairs of raw selvedge denim in my time, I pulled the trigger on these to see how they were. For the price I paid I figured it was worth it. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the denim. The construction is lacking compared to higher end denim but the fabric is a nice slubby denim with great texture from Nihon Menpu. They are vanity sized by 2+ sizes so order accordingly. They are more rinse than resin but don’t have that awful emerald blue color that a lot of one rinse denim has. Overall I recommend these jeans as a good budget pair.
