I actually found a pair of Uniqlo selvedge denim for $10 at a thrift store in Taiwan. My first pair in the world of selvedge denim and I'm genuinely surprised by it. Like you said, it's missing a lot of the finer details you expect from smaller companies but the quality is amazing for $50.

I have seen a few of your videos, and I have to say - As far as the Menswear / Men's Fashion genre goes, you have the most unique and interesting editing and videographic creative direction. You balance really well being deeply informative with still being fun, personable, and enjoyable to watch. I particularly love the outdoor setting for many of your videos.

I can see the effort but it’s frantic as fuck

Uniqlo Selvaged are best. I don't care. They affordable, the quality is good. Will last longer than walmart jeans. Not everyone can spend $800 for jeans. So Uniqlo is jeans for every working men who are tired of bad jeans that itch your skin and look really cool on top of that. You can work & dressed up with same jean for events. It's the best alternative.

This kid is so good. The quintessence of “just keep going”. He doesn’t even make reference or even wink to the audience that he’s getting rained out and eventually totally soaked during the day he planned to shoot. He just keeps going

Just bought my first selvedge jeans at Uniqlo when I was in New York a few weeks ago. They’re a great introduction to selvedge. I really look forward to exploring more unique Japanese denim. Great video!

A month ago I stumbled upon your channel and I gotta say, I love your videos so much that I don't really care what they're about. It feels like hanging out with someone while being informed on stuff I'll barely remember, but that I'll come back to when needed

The evolution of the production on this channel over the past few years is fantastic. Keep it up

Dude, I love your video style so much. It’s fun. It’s educational, without being too serious. So good.

You got me into the denim world. N&F and TCB are now my go to. Great vid! And every informative

So much to learn on denim, love it and always entertaining! Thanks Mike

Why would anyone pay $50 and higher on a pair of jeans is beyond me. If you want the best jeans ever, you should try the Lidl $12 jeans, you will never buy any other jeans for the rest of your life.

I found your channel by chance. I like the way you compose your content. Learned quite a bit about denim. Keep up the good work!

As someone who studied fashion, one of the reasons the leg twists is because the fabric piece wasn't cut on the natural grain line which is a usual indicator of a brand being cheap.

Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s cheap cotton. When it’s woven either left hand twill or right hand twill the fabric will shift accordingly. This is reason broken twill was invented to help combat the twisting.

@scottwistinghausen1888

Yeah that’s not true. It’s the weave pattern. The most expensive jeans in the world get leg twist cuz of there weave pattern. It’s only doesn’t twist if it’s a broken twill.

Highly informative video. I liked when you said price fluctuations and the reason .

My first salvage denim from N&F... Wish there was a store close to me to try on the lvc line from Levi's.

I have been thinking of getting Uniqlo jeans for a while. This video sold me.

Have fun in Italy and cheers, love your vids 👍🏻

You can find an interview by Japanalogue of Hajime and Ryo from TCB where they explain a few things including why they price their jeans lower than other popular japanese brands. It's what it costs them to make jeans and run the business, ignoring maximum profit margins.

Great video! I have the LVC 1937s, awesome jeans. The tcbs seem hard to find on the internet...

i have one pair of Levi's I bought from their website and even after months and a few washes they still reek of formaldehyde from the factory. That's what started getting me into japanese denim.

I live in my TCB 50's. They are so good, they work with vans slip-ons, pecos, Red wing 877, converse 70s and Blundstone (my shoecollection).

I'm never moving on from black and dark grey skinnies with stretch, you're going to have to pry them off my dead body. But you still made this very compelling to me man that's what's up!

The denim shirt you're wearing. that's so cool.

Saludos de España! Congratulations for the channel I love it!

Hey michael, just bought the 150th selvedge ones the super hard blue and washed white color. Can’t pass on it. I am giving it as early bday gift for this year. A bit expensive here in Middle east as compared to asian botiques back home but it is the only way I can cop it with right fittings.

Any recommendations for shops that might carry TCB in the US? I'd love to try on a pair before committing

I’ve been eyeing the wilder backpack from Bradley mountain for a hot minute. What do you think of it?

I was just in japan. The regular uniqlo selvedge jeans were like 3,990 yen and helmut lang on sale for 7,990 from 9,990 so it was incredible

What’s the story behind your bent plywood chair with the (looks like) brass screws?

Outside of one pair of Jordache, all I wore in the 80s was Levi 501. I was shocked at how expensive Levi’s had become when they finally wore out.

the Uniqlos are only ¥4,000

Great comparison. Do you prefer the LVC '47 501's or the '67 505's?

The fob jacket is fire 🤌

what size are you + weight/height for the haku piece at the beginning? really appreciate the content man, thanks!

Great film

Brother in Bangladesh we buy Levis/jack n Jones/Wranger etc at very cheap price, very very cheap......like a 511 blue will cost 8-10$.......

Is that an OAS Terry towel I see before me ?

Picked up the Uniqlo in black & navy while in Manila. As soon as I got home I put all my raw denim on eBay & made a killing. The Uniqlo has been much cooler in Texas heat. Happy with my decision! Great pair of pants at a fraction of the price I paid for other brands.

I remember at one point, Uniqlo's selvedge denim jeans are actually made in Japan, it had a white brand tag that says "all made in Japan" and then "Uniqlo jeans", with the Japanese flag, it looks very clean. They are allegedly OEM'ed by Edwin, using Kaihara's denim, but i have no way of fact checking that.

The thing about Levi's is that they were and still are worn by generations. I'm sure anyone can find better quality.... but... but.... but.... 501's have history. They are an iconic item of clothing, timeless classic jeans. I've been wearing them since the 60's and I'll carry on wearing them. I do wear Uniqlo chinos... well made and great value.

Always wanted s omeone to solve the mystery of Uniqlo selvedge, what a tremendous resource you are

is selvedge and raw denim used interchangably? I thought selvedge referred to the stitching "self edging", and the raw denim being the type of fabric?

@ldm2622

Жыл бұрын

they're not used interchangably. you're right on selvedge, and raw denim is just denim that hasn't been washed.

My unbranded jeans are great. I got em a size bigger than most of my raw denim in the past and it makes for a moderately comfortable fit and Wear for 14.5 oz denim. Y’all should check em out.

Fantastic video as always, Mikey! You're channel is so underrated man, you should easily have 500k subscribers or more. Have fun at the wedding.

Because of this video, I bought the UNIQLO selvedge denim and its not bad at all.

Yes!

The denim polo tee is good. Can i have the link?

Any brand recommendations for the big and tall guy

i like that ONI & SugarCane have some models ~12 oz

Denim originates from the French city of Nimes. Jean production with local fabric is going strong with a Tuffery brand .

Uniqlo …..in London £39.00. I looked at them last week and thought that because they were so cheap they would be bad……clearly not….😂

I've had mine for over a year, soaked once believing the whole scam of "washing is bad" qnd they're basically like new. Minimal fading, and the texture of the fabric is really nice compared to Levi's and their horrible stretchy cheapo shit they charge a hundred bucks for.

The crotch rivet being removed had nothing to do with cowboys sitting by the fire or whatever. They were required to do so during the war.

I used to wear uniqlos as my beater jeans. Now I just wear them as my jeans-jeans.

bro what is your shirt name

Holy fuck Michael you are so good at what you do

TCB is such a great brand. I have two pairs and they are the jeans I wear the most.

I used to buy jeans at Uniqlo, and out of 5 jeans (different models), they all ended up ripped apart right between the legs for absolutely no reason (never had that problem with other brands), so I've stopped. Very disappointed with this brand.

I would love to see video about Bronson salvage jeans. They are around 100e. So it is expensive for cheep jeans. Maybe that is something. Im apsulute loving my Bronson shirts

For me the uniqlo jeans always tear apart after one year of use. I have 3 pairs of Levi's jeans that have lasted more than 10 years and still look great, this is why I love Levi's

Sounds like Castlevania music?

2023 December, usdjpy is 1doller/150yen and it's historicaly high. best time to buy Japanese denim for us citizens.

@@sazrulsazli Mine as well. I bought online a cheap pair of 501 raw unsanforized jeans not knowing where they were made and found out they were made in Egypt. In general Egyptian cotton has been the standard for the highest quality/ luxurious cotton in the world since the early 1800s. The quality of the threads has dipped for the last 10 years though.

I honestly didn’t like your videos when they appeared in my inbox earlier this year. They felt a little too erratic and directionless. But over the past year you’ve really honed your style and went from a Wes Anderson lookalike to developing your own style that really works.
