I apologize if my post came out sounding rude, but it wouldn't be the wisest thing to spend a couple of bills on a pair of jeans that are overhyped and are losing value. Honestly, with fashion, people follow trends, and although people may say "I like to wear what I wear and I don't like to blend in with the crowd", their outfit would still, more or less conform to the modern day trend.

Would you ever rock a pair of flares and walk around the street, then, come back to this thread, and openly discuss with everyone, the cheapest place to buy them? That being said, I used to love rrs. Let's face it, the only reason you would want to buy a pair of rocks is for that back pocket stitching. Why? Because it shows status and is a fashion icon. But when that icon gets overhyped and at one point, goes bankrupt, is there really still a need to rape your wallet for such a thing?

I have a thing for raw selvedges, mainly because of the quality, but also for the craftsmanship and fit. When it comes to raw selvedges, there really isn't an indication of status or something that screams designer. Its what makes raw selvedge that much more unique, personal, and less accomodating.
