My vintage Helmut Lang washed jeans. Still get compliments when I wear them.. and they're about 10 years old!

Yes the 45RPM finishes cannot be denied. Was in there today and admiring them...and my distressed sorihiko 's i had on were nt too bad either..

but you will pay for the privlege.....

Id like to see the 5EP washed myself...but never had the pleasure.

My first pair of "good" jeans about six months ago- PPD (Paige Premium Denim). For a first buy before joining this board I did pretty well.

As mentioned, ES has some solid washes. 5EP's Dark Worn wash looks amazing, and realistic/natural. Dior had a few washes that were great in the "not trying to look particularly 'realistic'" category--I saw someone wearing some orange overdye 21cms from a few seasons ago that looked pretty close to what I'd consider the perfect pair of predistressed jeans.

And yeah, if you can drop the cash, 45rpm.

Little known fact, but one of the best ways to get really good washed denim is to send your brand new jeans to me. I wear them for about a year, wash them, and return them to you--ultra-realistic wear! I don't even charge that much.

I like 501's in a light wash. Never owned any raw/dry denim, but from now on I am just going to buy 501's because I can't stand most of the jeans I've tried and I trust the Levi's.

I am still a fran of the Levi's Biggies.

Oh yea, sauce hit it on the head. Dior orange overdyes(they're not really orange, they're just normal predistressed lighter jeans) are pretty fantastic for predistressed. If it wasn't $400-500 i'd wear a pair.
