i prefer raw and stiff as f*ck... no factory wash gusto ko ako mag-break-in to get my own honeycombing and distress at parang leather shoes... pagkaraan ng break-in super lambot na :)

^^ so you want ung masikip na jeans? It's hard to wear those.. I remember I got some skin iritation on my thigh when I wore tight jeans one time..

what is break in?
what is honeycomb in jeans?
what is post-break in?

hiei

Nope I dont wear skinny but there's a thin line between skinny and slim fit. All of my jeans are slim and tappered.... Tappered is best suited for us w/ bit thights but to some extent.

Break-in - initial phase of using something and distressing it.  common example new car na may break in period na 1k kkm... Pro d related sa fashion... Kya next is leather shoes w/0is similar with raw jeans that start as stiff before it becomes supple.

Honeycomb - are the fades behind your knees resembling honeycombs or diamond pattern

Post break-in - after break in jeans start to habe distressing ang supple.

ah ok.. tappered means mga tela na pinagtahi-tahi together? more like nakatapal?

hiei

Tappered - type of cut where the pants have wider thigh entry but narrower hem. in comparison a straight cut pants naman has the same width throughout the legs

marvinofthefaintsmile

so u'r saying that we can look better on a tapered cut since we can show more figures because it fits without the stiff like the skinnies..

What jeans do you recomend? (ung hinde expensive ah. [budget: around 1k])

hiei

i mean about stiffness is parang naarmirol or been starched kaya stiff... usually mga skinnies malambot dahil di pure denim may elastic component in order to fit in.

yup, tapered cut will suit us best kung gusto mo ng slim cut. lately pinapansin ko how dwayne 'the rock' johnson, jason statham and always na maporma na sylvester stallone regarding how they carry their suits... kahit very muscular lean and long tingnan ang mga suit nila complementing their physique.

wala pa akong nababalitaan ulit na affordable raw selvedge jeans sa atin. the last time was 2 years ago ung sa bench OJ selvedge.... cheapest raw selvedge denim i ever had, tapos na-sale pa ng P400!! kaya nung naghanap ako lintek 2 size na lang at ubos na... na-check ng barkada ko mga bench shops sa metro manila, tapos na check ko sa ATC wala.... long shot sa probinsya namin ako naka-tyempo.

Sa jeans... Do you like ung me mga design na prang jobos or marbling color dun sa jeans? or u still prefer ung plain blue or black jeans?


ako I just go with the plain colors, parang I feel a gigolo na pag may mga faded colors na sa ibat ibang parts ng pants so I just go with the classic ones  :D

i don't have pics, kita ko lang sa TV and mostly suit naman tinitingnan ko... si jason statham lang may pics akong nakita dati sa GQ.

denim then suit

^ I observe mejo "roomy" ang knyang pantalon?

hiei

Yup, roomy on the thigh area then tapers down sa hem kung pansin mo narrow na sa hem. Naka sag rin ang jeans to give that non chalant look. Kung masikip and too close to skin suman labas sa kanya dahil litaw ang quads nun

marvinofthefaintsmile

so u dont recomemd us wearing jeans na skin hugging? kase magiging suman tayo?

pinoybrusko

bakit ganun pag mga kano, european, egyptian pag magsuot ng kahit anong damit ang ganda tingnan, dating mayaman talaga kahit affordable lang o simple  lang ang suot pero ang mga pinoys kahit suotan mo man ng ginto mukhang mahirap pa din o gusgusin  :D
