Question:
Alright denim heads, I need your help. I'm still kinda new to this denim game and I started out with some Nudie Slim Jims, Levis 514 & 501 raw and BDG one-wash. My Jims are about 4 months old now but I'm already thinking about some other jeans that are interesting me for a decent price range.
At first I thought about APC because everyone seems to be raving about it, especially for the price of $140. Then I heard about Ande Whall and the stuff he does and how everyone likes that even more. I think I was sold on Ande Whall but then I see Iron Army jeans. Those of course are more expensive but I really like the way it's constructed and the stitching.
So here are my questions:
1) What can you tell me about Iron Army in terms of construction, quality, and fits?
2) I'm looking for the under $200 price range (aiming for around $150 though). Any recommendations?
I like the fit of Slim Jims, but I want something that doesn't hug my legs as much and is probably more high rise. A mix between a regular ralf and a slim jim?
Answer:
Buy some Ande Whall Cougars, and then post some good pics for the rest of us (I'm not complaining about drizz's pics, but a little variety - including some side shots - is always good).
Seriously, Ande is the real deal, and a bit cheaper than Iron Army; of course, it's the stitching on the latter that turns me off, and if you dig it I'd say give 'em a closer look. You can call Kiya at Self Edge in SF, or Sam (I think?) at Context in Madison. I've yet to here anything bad about Iron Army, although I don't know if any of the regulars on here have them - you'll see them on SuFu from time to time.
Answer:
Mine are due next weekish. Also, drizzt is a little more built than most of us here, so I'll be providing some size variety.
Answer:
How about Johnbull?

Answer:
I'll try to post some shots as well. I'm expecting my Cougars like, right now. They were shipped Sunday before last, (my time. It was Monday his time I think. Dunno, time-shifts confuse me.) so I'm hoping they'll be waiting for me at home today or any day now.....
Answer:
Iron army is a good jean and they are doing some things that are a little different.
YOu should try KMW.
Answer:
so i guess im stuck between iron army and ande whall? i've been hearing really great things about ande whall. iron army is still kind of a mystery to me but judging by the model pics i like the fits of them and i kind of like jeans that are kinda loud but not really. at least have some personality to them.
