Other Brands of Jeans

Thanks 501 haha but no i don't skate in these jeans. Just lots of wearing for like 3 years. Yea the stitching was at least bare able  and not loud like the yellow stitching ones.

@501/IH:

My only problem with Imperial is that I cannot overcome my strong dislike of the back pocket stitching.

Totally agree. In fact, I've never heard of anyone who actually likes the pocket stitching.

[JoyV]

Sadly I agree with you, thus I just wear these for the hell of it. Rips and tears all around.

I've also found Imperial denim feels funny. Having worn Levis, APC, 5EP, PBJ, SugarCane, IH etc, Imperial has always just felt odd to me.

[501IH]

Interesting point. I haven't had the experience with Imperial, but the "feel" of denim has always been a central point of my love for the fabric, and how a pair of jeans feel, the "tactile experience" is the deciding point whether or not there's true fondness for my jeans or not.

How about full fit pics? Ripped and torn jeans rule!

@Finn666:

i really like this this one from EAT DUST clothing a lot…looks pretty badass imo!

I got one of these coming from hep cat. Stoked.

Joe, once you got one, let me/us know about the quality and how the denim feels…

Been toying with the idea. Still undecided whether I'm a denim vest guy or not. My style has changed a lot in few years and I really don't use so much clothes that shout out loud biker....

[RocknRoll]

I like this too, but I've learnt to be careful with this kind of stuff or you can end up looking like a wannabe. That said, I reckon JSJ can pull it off.

[joesaintjohn]

That pic really takes it to the "wannabe" & "loud biker" extreme with the 1%er looking patches and leather underneath. I've never been a fan of the leather vest look, but the denim one has a real throw back quality IMO. I'm always a bit skeptical about vests too, because I don't want to look like this:

[Finn666]

isn't it the same with flannels y'all?
don't have to be a lumberjack to wear'em, right?… if you feel like wearing a denim or even leather vest, wear it. if not then not! simple as that and everything else is bs imo!...

[rocket]

yep, less care what others may think….

[RocknRoll]

Totally, Rocket. I realise the tone of my last post sounded a bit judgemental - sorry about that. I really just meant that I don't think I could look good in that jacket.

[Finn666]

it's all good mate, don't worry

[injunjack]

that's typical HOG member there…in JSJ's pic ROTFLOL

[rocket]

that was not mean in your direction RocknRoll….made more of a general statement... since imo a lot of people care far too much about what others may think about...

[joesaintjohn]

Just got the Eat Dust vest from Hepcat.se frickin' love it. It's going to take some breaking in, but the shits pretty boss. Only complaint is no pockets.

[rocket]

pockets are overrated…

[joesaintjohn]

Anybody ever heard of the Norwegian livid denim? I saw them in selectism today and thought it was a pretty neat story.

Interesting article in denimhunters.

Whaddaya mean no pockets? Are the breastpockets "fakes"?? Or are talking about those sidepockets you find on trucker-model jeans jackets??
