I actually found a pair of Uniqlo selvedge denim for $10 at a thrift store in Taiwan. My first pair in the world of selvedge denim and I'm genuinely surprised by it. Like you said, it's missing a lot of the finer details you expect from smaller companies but the quality is amazing for $50.

I have seen a few of your videos, and I have to say - As far as the Menswear / Men's Fashion genre goes, you have the most unique and interesting editing and videographic creative direction. You balance really well being deeply informative with still being fun, personable, and enjoyable to watch. I particularly love the outdoor setting for many of your videos.

Uniqlo Selvaged are best. I don't care. They affordable, the quality is good. Will last longer than walmart jeans. Not everyone can spend $800 for jeans. So Uniqlo is jeans for every working men who are tired of bad jeans that itch your skin and look really cool on top of that. You can work & dressed up with same jean for events. It's the best alternative.

As someone who studied fashion, one of the reasons the leg twists is because the fabric piece wasn't cut on the natural grain line which is a usual indicator of a brand being cheap.
@Noidzor5 ай бұрын
Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s cheap cotton. When it’s woven either left hand twill or right hand twill the fabric will shift accordingly. This is reason broken twill was invented to help combat the twisting.
@scottwistinghausen18883 ай бұрын
Yeah that’s not true. It’s the weave pattern. The most expensive jeans in the world get leg twist cuz of there weave pattern. It’s only doesn’t twist if it’s a broken twill.

You can find an interview by Japanalogue of Hajime and Ryo from TCB where they explain a few things including why they price their jeans lower than other popular japanese brands. It's what it costs them to make jeans and run the business, ignoring maximum profit margins.

Picked up the Uniqlo in black & navy while in Manila. As soon as I got home I put all my raw denim on eBay & made a killing. The Uniqlo has been much cooler in Texas heat. Happy with my decision! Great pair of pants at a fraction of the price I paid for other brands.

I remember at one point, Uniqlo's selvedge denim jeans are actually made in Japan, it had a white brand tag that says "all made in Japan" and then "Uniqlo jeans", with the Japanese flag, it looks very clean. They are allegedly OEM'ed by Edwin, using Kaihara's denim, but i have no way of fact checking that.
