N&F is promoted more because it's "branded." And is more appealing from the "brand." What do you mean by "better quality?" Weight of cotton? Types of dyes? Color of stitching and hardware? Most likely of course, something will be different.. or why separate them into two lines?

Where are you getting this information? I've seen plenty of faded raws that aren't N&F or APC.

Cheap Mondays. Looks faded to me.

Having said all this, I own everything from True Religions to Levi's. I see your point about buying one pair from a more established brand. I was just wondering if anyone's actually tried the $80 Unbranded pair, N&F's "understudy." If it's worth the extra X amount for the N&F patch, or are they virtually the same with minor differences like type of dye, color of stitching and hardware, etc..

I might pick up a pair of each and see how they go.. I mean how can you go wrong with raw anyways.
totally get you now haha. thanks for the clarification... still though, id show you a pic of my cheap mondays if i could, ive worn them for 8 months now, no wash and i still see no sign of fading...

looking at those pics makes me really wonder if im wearing them wrong... and i dont see how that could possibly happen... my pair has been the same since... well forever..
