Anyone tried IOU Project slim chinos yet?

[lucky7]

i need some new boots for walking around campus this winter, but i'm not sure what direction i want to go. something old school looking, modern, or stylish hiking boots..

kind of leaning towards these though.








I'm open to suggestions, but i do lots and lots of walking (5,200 acre campus), and it's cold as shit (and will be snowy). my standard shit is jeans, button down, blk peacoat and boots.

[killer240]

i dont like wearing boots but im diggin that 2nd pic

[!Zar!]

Boots should be either Timberland, or Redwings.

[lucky7]

i'm not spending $200+ on redwing boots, and i've not seen a pair of timberlands i like. i'd rock the shit out of some Danner boots, but they're also too damn expensive.

these are exactly the sort i was initially looking for, but they're > $600. lol.


minus the tie, this is typically how i am dressed.


i just need something decent looking with a pair of jeans, that i can put some miles on.

[!Zar!]

Nice shoes are an investment.

As for Redwings being expensive, they have great customer service as well as repair services.

[lucky7]

redwing doesn't really have anything that catches my eye. i lived in MN for 13 years, so i am well aware of the company and what they produce. i don't generally have a problem dropping cash on nice shoes, but i have a handful already, and i'm a jobless college "kid" at the current time.

I got redwings but I wish I could afford some visvimssssssssssssss

[musikjunkie]

im gonna get a pair of 1907 redwings but those prices hurt the wallet.

[Walperstyle]

I have redwing work boots. Best ever. Too expensive though.

I haven't posted in this thread in a while.

I better get some time to drop some fashion back on your laps.

[ericcastro]

I only wash Denim about once a month, even if its covered in grease and dirt.
I also only own 2 pairs of pants at a time.
One blue and one black.

You missed out on the visit to Self Edge last weekend!

[lflkajfj12123]

if you're wearing cheap jeans i don't see the point in not washing... not like you're going to get great fadezzzz anyway

i probably wash my samurais more than you fools not washing your levis n shit

[innovation]

curious, what makes samurais better then levis ? Is it like microfiber ultra fine denim material or something?

[dahveed]

I wash my apcs every 2 weeks. Butttt I really don't wear them anymore, which leads me to a q to all you denim experts. Who makes a quality pair of jeans that fits like a 511? Lol I kinda don't fit in my old pair

[doseonekmc]

its all about the crisper when it comes to keeping your selvedge or raw denim clean.
I have worn alot of selvedge
evisu, wesc, kicking mule, apc, naked and famous, import japanese no name, ubranded, lvc.. etc

I dont ever wash my denim and have some pairs I have owned for years.
box of baking soda in the crisper takes away any oder and a pair of jeans tossed in and for a couple days keeps them nice and fresh.

A friend told me there is a method to wearing in selvedge denim that involves swimming in the salt ocean water in your jeans and than rolling in the sand and rubbing it into the jeans in all the "wear" areas thus creating a unique pattern. i personally couldnt see myelf wearing my jeans in the ocean..

[Matej]

When my jeans need to be washed I drop them off at the Goodwill store and buy new ones.

[4DOOR_LIFE]

Most recent purchases as of 1am. Only one of them was a Black Friday deal, but altogether I was able to get a discount thanks to my older sister. ahaha.

[ericcastro]

For me, not washing jeans isnt a fashion/style thing.

I just dont wash denim.
Work on cars, party, skateboard, crash on couches or outside.
Just dont wash it, lol.

[doseonekmc]

word.
not washing "unwashed" denim only somewhat has to do with style.
I personally buy unwashed heavy weave for a few reasons, one being so that as I wear them they shape to me and always sit comortably and fit much better the more i wear them rather than falling apart and becomeing loose the longer there worn.
You buy a set of selvedge and after a year they fit amazingly, the fade is realistic and are just starting to loose a bit of stiffness and start to wear.
any other denim i wear falls apart after about 6 months and has no color while selvedge still shines and looks fresh.

put the two in your hand and youll know. Not saying it justifies price but high end denim is on whole other level
