N00B QUESTION: Fit on BBC/Ice Cream Denim

boostdhatch18 · Feb 27, 2009

I search through the several Denim FAQ's and the Denim Brand FAQ's, and while I may be blind and just have overlooked it, I'm trying to find info on the BBC/Ice Cream denim. I have an issue with most high-end denim as it is too tight on my upper legs. My waist is a 36 and the bottom half of the denim is never an issue, but because of all my years of football and hockey, most designer denim fits WAY too tight on my upper legs. If this is a bad thread, feel free to lock it, but I was curious as to how the BBC/Ice Cream denim fits and/or what brands you guys might recommend ?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the dumb question

As long as you dont get smart cuts you'll be fine. BBC Jeans are quite baggy.

bbc denim isn't "high-end" lmao
it's levis quality for 300 more dollars!

Well it is high-end because BBC is a 'high-end' brand...

you have to be designer or near the top if you sell shirts for 80 and denim for 300

kvc06 · Feb 27, 2009

depends what you consider high end
to me quality= high end
bbc does not = quality

Yom · Feb 28, 2009

exactly

BBC is expensive street wear, its not high end

same as bape

bbcforlife · Feb 28, 2009

true but it dosent matter when the jeans are 300$ people are going to assume its high end

^ which I don't. I've been in the shoe game for years, but have not delved into the "high end" denim game yet. Most of my denim is LRG, ECKO, Triumvir, American Eagle, and I got a good deal on a pair of Artful Dodger from Karmaloop at Xmas time. So with that being said, I know NOTHING about denim quality at this point. Basically, I need to find a good quality denim that is loose (hate stiff denim) and somewhat baggy, without looking like I am hiding things in my pant leg. Thanks for the responses so far, and I am always open to new brand ideas. I just liked the design of the BBC stuff, thats why I mentioned it first.

Okay so first, 90% of the guys on here are gonna tell you to go and buy some top end shit like Fenom or NBHD. Not necessary. You can get nice, quality denim for less than $150.

So there are 2 routes down the denim path you can take. Raw, or washed.

Raw: Pros are that you can get a personal fade to your liking and it generally looks better, but the cons are that you need to be good at it for a nice look, and it takes 6 months for a real good fade. Some good raw brands are APC, Sugar Cane, and Imperial. All three are availible for about $125

Now if you want faded jeans (my preference), then you should stick with these brands: higher end Levi's, Nudie$150ish, a cheaper option that I love is Armani denim. It's available for about $60 and some pairs have pretty amzing work done and the quality is great, or if you want to spend a bit more there are some lvl 2 NBHDs for about $250 if you have a bit more of a budget, and if you look around a bit.

I'd recommend some APC Rescue cut denim

JohnnyVillan · Mar 2, 2009

get NBHD basic cuts

You can get a pair of lvl2s for less than most BBC jeans and the quality will be way better than APC, Levis, Nudie, BBC, etc etc

Plus they look 1000x better

Thanks for all the info guys, I really appreciate it.

As far as the brands, I have heard Nudies fit VERY tight ? With Levis, which # Levis should I go with if I'm looking for a slightly looser fit. This has been the main issue with a lot of the denim I have tried, is that it is just too tight on me and feels very uncomfortable.

JohnnyVillan · Mar 3, 2009

Just go to urban outfitter or macys or pretty much anywhere and you can just try on levis.

if you are looking to get BBC denim, as was the original question, you would be an L or XL depending on the season.
