Check out the Unbranded (owned by Naked & Famous, but cheaper) . Also Sage Denim. Quality right there
You have a Model’s Silhouette, all the jeans fit you PERFECTLY without looking bunchy, frumpy or too tight. Lucky guy.
What do you think about Brave Star jeans compared to Lucky or 7? Thanks for the great vid
Another great video. What’s your thought on free note cloths and naked and famous raw selvedge?
It’s amazing the brands this guy digs out, even if US oriented, when he was reviewing white sneakers he pretty much covered the entire industry, had like 20 white sneakers to compare, from Stans to Common Projects, good work.
I know that you like to focus on less mainstream brands, but the American Eagle stretch denim is insanely comfortable. I think you should give it a try.
do you have any specific jeans/color to recommend for office smart casual look?
Jeans really fit you well. Some slimmer in the thigh. Assuming you didn’t get any of the, tapered?
Now this is my kind of roundup! So glad you picked bravestar – you’re dead on – they’re clearly the best bang for your buck. It’s interesting that once you know your fabrics, like cone denim, you start to wonder where the markups come from. To me that’s why bravestar wins- the same premium fabrics but directly to you for the best price too! Gotta get me some!

The unbranded brand is pretty good if you’re into raw denim
Unsure what the appeal of raw denim is given the inconvenience of bleeding. Isn’t it going to ruin your shoes and shirt?
i hope that when you get HUGE aka 1mil. followers or more, that you dont forget about your subbers like some other alphas or teachers of mens fashion youtubers…
Get momotaros or Oni. Way better than Gustin. Got a pair from them and I wasn’t impressed at all. For a cheap pair at a low price, i would highly recommend Uniqlo. Theh have stretch, but they are great
Think I’m just going to stick to what I can afford, shocker I know. Levi’s it is.
Actually, not to be the cheap one, but Uniqlo does a great line of denim. I had one pair for 50-60$, and they’re quite good.
Love Bravestar and Gustin. Too bad they don’t do High/Relaxed Tapered fit for people with big thighs.

Great informative video! Thanks for WEARING the jeans on camera too. I just now subscribed. Levis is my favorite brand too, so, yes, do create more material with that brand. I buy a lot of stuff from Levis in my closet, so your input helps and matches my style!
I like bke
How about Luxire MTM selvedge jeans? another great video btw
Have you ever gotten into a bathtub with jeans?
Nice video brother! ✌️
nudie is my first jeans. bought one in coated black. it’s so comfortable it’s like a second skin over a year of wearing. another one is a brand from my country Indigoskin with all raw denims.
Buying jeans for muh syck jane fades is some autistic fashion behavior.
I really liked that episode if the podcast you mentioned.
What white sneaker is that at 4:00
Have you tried Dearborn Denim? I love them. You can order any inseam size. I’m actually a 33” inseam. Most other jeans I have to order a 34 and deal with them being a tad too long or pay extra to have them hemmed.
Where’d you get the henley?
ksubi>>>
What model/line Levi’s are those? Great video, thanks.
I just got the 16.5 oz Cone Mills from Bravestar. Great brand. That 15 oz Cone is brilliant too.
