Very specific jeans brand recs
Hi, I had great luck when I asked for recommendations here on a brand for chinos (Jack Donnelly was the winner) so I am going to take another shot here.
I'm looking for a what I hope is a not-very-exciting pair of light wash jeans:
- looking for light indigo wash
- important to have a regular/straight or sightly relaxed leg, as I am trying to get the skinny jean out of my life. (i am pretty skinny myself so a regular fit looks kinda baggy)
- quality+ethics def matter, I generally look for MiUSA/Japan/Europe as a first pass on that
- ideally very little ornamentation/distressing/etc
- hoping to spend <$150, which hopefully isn't unrealistic given the quality stipulation
This kind of wash is generally what i'm going for: https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcTWbmTvGMpkwQdeNEZzOcQHLQxq6nbrouEYPK2zGrN2dASjEsrbaYpHTBAjIdkaEgSNk6pxTlQpRWrY6p31SqW-oHhEszdrl1Ie560BRUetmfmOgHfbacv-2TAm

there are a million vintage 501s in this wash if you go on ebay, grailed, etc.
Thank you! I ordered one pair of 501s from ebay and the fit was a little strange, but it sounds like there's a lot of variation so I try a few more
Oh yeah, you can find Levis on eBay anywhere from 1 to 30+ years old so there's a lot of variation. If you have a pair of jeans you like, compare its measurements with ones you're looking at
yeah for vintage / secondhand jeans i usually size up 1 or 2 waist sizes as these measurements are closer to my real size after shrinkage
