IMO quality would be looking at brands like Skulls, Flathead, Imperial, Samurai, Pure Blue Japan, Momotaro. Otherwise, I would still rank Naked and Famous and APC over Nudie in terms of quality. You lose the Nudie backpocket stitching.....oh well.
i agree... and this just tells you that Van places alot more emphasis on the logo than the jean itself....

on a side note, even though the deciding factor for me in jeans still is its quality i still cant justify paying the difference, going from n&fs at about $150 to flatheads at about $400, just for the minute quality differences... n&fs already meet my standards, so for the most part, i wouldn't feel like spending another couple bills just for the minute differences in quality(which im sure most denim heads with their substantially higher standards would definitely disagree)
