Levi's Disco Jeans

Fragment is fucking fantastic. First they come out with the polka-dotted AF1s, and now this; jewel studded Levis.







Yeah sure I guess the jewels wouldn't really appeal to you if you didn't like to feel pretty, but you have to admit that putting them on the zipper is pretty boss. And the lightning pocket detail is great too.

These jeans come in different colors too, but the turquoise is the newest, and I think it beats ruby.

Recently I've gotten into jeans. Before it was shirts, then shoes, now jeans. I figure I'll eventually find my way through all the different articles of clothing and be a pro at dressing myself. Until then I guess I'll just look good at some parts and shabby elsewhere. Whatever.

But anyway, back to jeans. Later, I plan on making a big post about a couple of brands I've been watching and hoping to get a pair from, but I'll just focus on one right now. The newest company I've discovered is Iron Army. They've got some pretty nice looking jeans, good cut, and a raw, unwashed look. The only downside is that they're 200 bucks.

My personal favorites are the Hiro Itos, but the Navio Fernandezs are pretty fantastic too. Actually, there's not much difference between the styles fit-wise, it's really just the color and the stitching(!). All the styles come in Raw and Rinse denim. I'm planning on getting a pair of raw denim jeans one day, but they're a big commitment (you can't wash em for six months).

And speaking of raw denim, Iron Army has set up a project of their own to track the development of seven guys wearing in a pair of Iron Army jeans. They chose seven guys with different types of jobs and got them to agree to wear a pair of Hiro Itos for seven months without washing (as raw denim is supposed to be worn) and to document the progress of the wear each month. After seven months, they'll all wash the jeans to see the outcome. It's pretty interesting to see how each person wears their jeans differently, and how each one distresses on their own.

I'm gonna be getting a pair of good jeans some time in the summer when I start working, so I'll be doing some research up until then. I'll let you know about the different stuff I find sometime soon.

GOLD

This is possibly one of the most megaturboyes things I've seen in a while. A while ago, some thing called eproze opened up on some thing called ZOZOTOWN. I don't really know much about either because they're both Japanese, but I figure that ZOZOTOWN is a website and eproze might be the online store on it or something. But all that isn't very important. The only real reason why I mention it is because a brand called MACKDADDY is releasing a pair of jeans to commemorate eproze's 7th anniversary.

Now before I go further, I'd just like to say that I like to cuff my jeans. I roll em up because they always drop below my shoes and get chewed up on the ground and that pisses me off, especially when I've paid good money for them.

That being said, maybe you can understand why I think this is one of the coolest pairs of pants I've ever seen. The jeans are a nice dark wash, and use gold thread for the weft (thread that keeps woven cloths together). It's way too fucking amazing when these are rolled up. Even when they aren't, the gold shines through and creates a look that's just mind-blowingly glam.



LOOK AT THEM

However, there are a couple things that hold me back from picking up a pair. The first is the fact that they're only available on ZOZOTOWN, a japanese site (or at least I think so. The translation simply said "This commodity is the reservation commodity"). Next, they're up for 30,000 yen, or 250 USD. That's a bit painful. Even more painful when I think about how I may never be able to "roll [the] raising, when [I] wear, rather [I] show the expression which has impact!"
