The Good

     -  Darker than I expected. I was a little worried after I ordered that they might be a little to light for my liking

     - Tapered very nicely from knee down

     - AMPLE eggplant room 

     - lighter weight makes it great for summer 

     - Quality overall is solid

The Bad

    - Maybe too much eggplant room?

     - for $70 it is not out of the realm of possibility to find some really nice raw and selvedge denim. Especially when looking at the website with the 2 pair for $69 sale I feel  like I'm paying a premium for the look. Again the quality is by no means bad but it's just "good"

The Ugly

     - What the hell is up with the beat up label on the back ? This distressed waxed cardboard thing is really bothering me. Leather would have ben a much better way to go and a positive in terms of quality

Final Score

The gripe about quality shouldn't deter you from buying these as I feel that they are in no way shape or form a "bad" pair of jeans but small added touches would have really gone a long way for me.

Anyone here familiar with Mr Completely denim? And how they fit? I wanna order a pair of the black waxed ones but hate ordering new denim and not being familiar with sizing. Anyone know how they run? Or if they gave any stockists in philly, jersey, New York? Or Boston or Connecticut? I'm willing to travel. I've emailed them and messaged them via Twitter and such with no reply. Thanks bros

Yup don't cheap out. Bought some 20 dollar unbranded straight fit to get tapered it went horrible. They made them into parachute pants.
 
If any of you have a Club Monaco near you, call them and see if they have any 3sixteens... Saw people on Reddit were grabbing pairs for 13$ in Boston, retail is 220$.

It works. I was just able to use it right now. I don't really need any more denim, but $68 shipped for a pair of Nudies, couldn't pass on that.

@CLU713, good looking out on the code!

This is a steal! i wish i can fit slim tapered jeans. I live in Lowell so Boston is only 20-30 mins from me. I'd def go if the fit was a different one.

while on the topic of fits...Who can recommend me a pair of raw denim that has an athletic fit? I have big thighs from hittin legs in the gym but my calves arent big lol so maybe something that has a lot of thigh space with a taper at the opening? Looking to spend no more than $275. Currently wearing a pair of gap selvage and the leg opening is too wide. I don't want to get it tailored

These do it for me. You want the 666cut. Those are the Devil's cut and are a slim straight. The 634s are a a straight cut.

I am 6'3, 238lbs, and a 38 fits me perfectly! They fit really slim at first, but after about a week of wear, they will become your favorite pair of denim.

As a cheaper alternative, going by your body type, these also should fit you well.

^^^ thanks for the help those IH's are dope. I wish I can grab a pair locally while getting a chance to try them on. The nudies look like a fit that would suite me I think I might get em after I get some measurements.

Thanks bro , post pics sometime
 
Anyone own a pair of the 2013 APC x Kanye raw denim? Got a pair of the stonewash sz 31 and they fit huge, i usually wear 32 in PNS with some room. Would sizing down to 28 be too much? Can't find sizing info anywhere.
 
A.P.C always runs big fam
Im a true sz 34, i got a 32 and they are still too big
Sz down 3 sizes would be perfect imo

Not just APC but most "higher end" denim does this. Called vanity sizing.

That's why i always go straight to the designers website and get measurements
 
My unbranded are on its last leg. Been wearing them on and off for the last year. But all the beer I've spilled on these is starting to stink :lol:

Probably gonna wash sometime this week, I'll keep yall updated with pics
 
Just wanted to pass some savings along. A local GILT pop-up shop has these PRPS Ramblers jeans for $18 and some change. Only size 30s,32s left. For anyone in those ranges im willing to grab pairs, just cover shipping. Really wishing they had 36s
