My friend and I were arguing the difference of Premium/Designer Jeans. It was quite funny. lol.

Are there any differences or are they the same?

Not much, but I tend to use premium denim towards denim based brands and are imo are trendy types. ie 7 for all mankind, true religion etc. Designer would be more jeans from luxury brands ie dior, lanvin etc.

Ever pair of designer denim I've owned hasn't been worth the money. I'm down with premium denim.

A cheap pair of jeans is just as good as a designer brand. Obviously, the only differences being the brand and cost.

what brands have you owned ? Most luxury brands have bad denim but dior HAS had the most incredible denim. (Im assuming your a guy ?)

no, not at all. Brands like samurai, ironheart, and sugarcane can last a long time without ever getting rips or tears. 3 years minimum, but I guess those are not really "designer". Also, washes are the defining factor when buying designer denim and trust me you cannot find a 600$ wash on 50$ jeans.

for example


Im not going to argue if theyre ugly or not Im just saying it costs money to make washes.

You damn sure can't. I am a jeans collector, and all of my jeans are top notch.

denim is denim. you're just paying for the name and maybe even a special design or logo.

I actually think the quality of R&R denim SUCKS. Still dependent on the wash, of course, but in general it isn't up to par for the price. My 7 For All Mankind and Citizens of Humanity jeans are more durable and comfortable and formfitting than other jeans I have owned, including other premium denim brands.

I just don't understand why people pay so much for jeans. I look GREAT in thrift store jeans, and they have that washed look to them because they have been washed and worn. Why pay an extra couple hundred for that look?

I have tried on premium jeans in the stores and I think they don't look nearly as good.

Andrew...

I've owned a pair of D&G denim that my father bought me. They looked good and fit well. I dry cleaned them, but after a pretty active night, the stitching in the inseam began to unravel.

I've actually began to like Levi's premium denim a lot ever since I moved away from the states.



I'm not big on the low-rise, straight-leg, fits, but the boot-cut jeans fit very similar to PaperDenim.

(and yes, I'm a guy)

I'll stick to my straight loose 569 Levi's denim.

How is that contradictory. I used the word "other" to include 7 For All Mankind and Citizens of Humanity in premium denim brands and I said that they are the best that I have tried. Care to explain?

You're not the only one on this forum that owns clothing by Martin Ksohoh.

Evisu is overrated. LRGeans > Evisu.

You're from Japan, I'm sure you own some Red Monkeys. Evisus are overrated, but they are still better than LRG. The most overrated jeans are Girbuads. I can't stand people wearing them. What's so nice about them? They are ugly as hell.

I know homie. What the f**k is up with the damn velcro? That shit is not fly. And those ugly ass jeans have no fit to 'em. They're just baggy for no reason.

Evisu is everywhere. Some of these Japanese dudes trip when they see LRG, its crazy.
