Get both like I do.
I just looked APC up, and they are nice. MIght try the APC Bordeaux instead of the N&F Pomegranate for variety.
Hmm...decisions, decisions.
nah, none of the n&f cuts work for me

I think Naked & Famous is getting popular (at least in this thread) because they're relatively easy to jump into for first time raw denim buyers. The price point generally isn't too bad and the different styles have something for everyone. Nobody's going to shell out the money for Momotaro or Pure Blue Japans if they've never worn raw denim before. Even APC is generally higher priced.
Don't forget about Unbranded too, guys. If you're on the fence about diving into the higher-end brands, try Unbranded out first. Hard to beat for the price.
I've seen/felt them in person and they're great though. Just make sure you have enough stuff in your wardrobe that will compliment them.

I wanted the Pomegranate for a long time but never ended up buying them. Kind of wish I did but I didn't think I'd get enough use out of them to justify the price.

True Religion was and always has been tacky though. That's the difference. The detailing on those things is laughable.
That was another question I was going to ask;
What would be the best colours to go with the pomegranate?
I have some black and light blue shirts that would compliment it... I think at least.

I don't see a gold embroidered crest on the back pocket. I'm sure they're ok though.

Yeah that ruins them for me too. It'd be fine if they were just on the cuffs, but not the whole leg.

Do they not sell online? Nothing close to me for them. I think with my sizing issues I need to try a bit higher quality and see how they work.
They have them at blue owl workshop.

There's an $18,000 gold pen on that website.

Ah, thanks. Looks like they have a tapered leg fit too. That may be what I need.
EDIT: Do you not pick leg length for these?
luckyboyceo

Nope. But BlueOwl should have measurements on the right side of the page.
Depending on your legs, they'll probably be slightly long, hence why people roll the cuffs.
Correct, one inseam length, although it might vary between waist sizes/
Blue Owl will also hem them for free, if you don't like rolling the cuffs or stacking, neither of which I like.

Just bought a marked down suit for about 70 Eurobucks. And a shirt and tie for about 40 alltogether.
I guess you can burn me now. Will take pics at some point in the next few days for shits and giggles, but I actually like it from what I saw.

I dont love my APC's, but that could have something to do with them being New Standards. I had them hemmed and tapered (store only sold the NS, not the petites) and then I lost 15 lbs. Now they are just a bit on the frumpy side which sucks. Also my N&F fades are cooler.
Both are much better than the Nudies I had. Those pants blew.

Leaning towards the Pomegranate Selvedge;
What's the cut of these called, so I know to avoid it in the future if I want to buy N&F.

Weird guy. You seem like an acne man cosmic.
I wish i could fit into APC or unbranded jeans.

Hah, depends on the place. I've offered tips here and there, and I usually get weird looks from people working at a dry cleaner/store vs a dedicated alteration shop. Re amount, the usual 15-20 percent?

You all say Uniqlo is equivalent to H&M right? So do the Uniqlo dress shirts fit just as well as H&M then? I like H&M as they are pretty for fitting
luckyboyceo

Generally the Uniqlo/H&M comparison is due to the pricing and quality. I can't speak on the fit of their shirts seeing as I've never worn them, but Uniqlo offers a giant selection so I imagine there is something that would fit similarly.

I know it's a longshot but I thought I'd ask anyway. Does anyone know where I can get this jumper, or a jumper similar either online or in the UK?

for us budget shoppers, it seems levi's has re-branded their 511 line as "slim" and the 510's are "skinny." the fit is still the same, but makes sense; the 511 never felt "skinny" just very fitted.

I just wanted to stop in and say i am laughing hysterically right now. Some dude is trying to walk to class right now in some of the stuff in this thread. A thin leather jacket, A thinner V-neck t shirt, rolled up jeans with no socks and those slip-on sneaker things i occasionally see. No gloves or hat.
It's negative fucking 40 degrees Fahrenheit with windchill and 20 mile per hour winds.
Is there nothing "fashionable" that also provides warmth? I am not trying to offend, i am genuinely curious. I have been lurking this thread for a good month or two now and have yet to see a jacket or coat that actually looks like it could be warm and protective.
I'm a guy who wears a hooded sweatshirt, a bauer hockey jacket, 10lb snow boots, and worn old work jeans to class every day so i am not sure i understand the mentality that one needs to sacrifice their health in order to look as good as some of you guys intend. Can anybody try to help me understand?

i thought me lamenting the fact that you don't recognize me and me calling you "bb" would've been clear sarcasm
Sorry, didn't know what "bb" meant and people toss around "troll" so much I don't know how to react to it anymore
bb = baby
