    Have anyone tried these? Comments? I ordered a pair of their tapered to test them out, curious.

      IMO great starter jeans but after wearing SAMs and iron heart the quality is greatly lacking

      RAWWAR 2012!

        Aww.. shucks. Well, I guess they'll suffice as beaters until I get my hands on a pair of heavy IH indigos.

          My Unbranded just arrived Saturday. The finish is.. rough (lots of loose threads here and there etc), but the look and fit (i got the tapered slim ones) is great! I sized down one from my IH (down to 36 from 38) and they fit nicely now. I think these will be my goto indigo jeans for a while, see what they are capable of.

            They're a bitch to fade though. Great for a starter pair. Will post some pics when I'm free.

              Ah? I guess I'll have to wear them hard then 😛

              I pretty much got a pair of superblacks and these rotating as my daily work-denim now. I don't know what one needs more than one good pair of black and blue denim 🙂

                Hello, These jeans looks very nice to me, any experience with them? I am specially thinking about construction and quality. They sound great for the price, but are they going to start to show seam rips etc. after a couple of months?

                best regards

                  Part of the reason they are so cheap is that they're assembled in Macau (at least most are) using cheap labour. They're made by the Naked and Famous people, and the hardware looks the same/similar to N&F, which has been demonstrated by many in the past to be less sturdy than many Japanese brands. They are quick to point out that the denim is from Japan, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's good.

                  I'm pretty sure the common advice on this forum will be "don't waste your money", but for ~$80, perhaps….just perhaps....that is value for money?  :-\

                  Anyway, have a look on superfuture etc, and you'll find more about them.

                      I bought them already…waiting on the restock to happen.  Why not for $100

                        Unbranded 221 21oz arrived from rue + state today.  Not mind-blowing, but pretty good for the money…

                          How do they feel, and can you post some evo picks you go along?

                            Yep, happy to post evo pics as I go along - though you my have to wait a while for anything significant, given the number of jeans in the current rotation… 😞

                            They feel good...for the price.  Nowhere near the beauty of IH, so a classic illustration of 'you get what you pay for' in that sense.

                            Nice tapered fit, tightly woven denim, a good crisp feel at the moment given the new-ness.  As previously mentioned, hardware is a definite weak area - the fly buttons feel pretty cheap & crappy tbh.

                              Do we really need two Unbranded threads?  I'll be keeping my 100 bucks.

                                  Sorry guys, my fault - didn't realise there was an older Unbranded thread.

                                      Took a flyer on the Unbranded red chambray as ordered it for nearly 1/2 price.  For that price not expecting the world, but I am a sucker for chain stitch runoff!

                                          my first jeans from "Japanese denim"… I don't remember how old they are (this was the year UB changed their size chart)...

                                          these jeans "just" have a great cut
