I just wonder how hard can it be to ask a question and get a straight 'Smart Arse' answer from fellow SF'ers.

It's so evident that junior members get the stick when trying to ask something politely!


It was not my intention to make you feel unwelcome. However I must express my hatred for Kiton denim. I would never wear Kiton jeans! They just have no appeal to me.

well, Brioni has been making jeans for years, so my guess is Kiton felt the need to follow suit (pun intended)
Either way....buy a pair of Levi's....your wallet will thank you later.

To each his own i guess. God forbid we didn't start a thread on Faggoty Goldschmied jeans!

I tried them on just for kicks, gosh they are ugly. The leg opening must be only 7 inches wide on a size 34, they looked like leggings. Avoid at all cost.

I would typically get a size or two up since I typically wear a 33W (Diesel, 7 For All Mankind, True Religion) and the Kiton jeans that I own (also a 33W) feels like a 31W to me. Luckily I fit in them, they are just a bit tight. Hope this helps.

long shot, but can anyone post pics of fades? i am thinking about getting a pair since theres one in my size (size 32, and im size 30, so it seems like they should fit judging by the responses on this thread) as an alternative to super high end japanese denim since theres a pair for real cheap at my local outlet, and the hardware is totally badass (5 hugeass red buttons that say kiton!), but i kinda wanna see how it fades compared to other stuff.

At the local Levi's shop in the mall Levi's start at over 100 Euros.

Outside of North America wearing Levi's are a fashion statement with prices to match.

How much is the retail price for a pair of Levis selvedge jeans then? I have seen them priced form £115 - £250.

You can pick up a pair of Kiton selvedge jeans for £170 on yoox.

Iron heart Selvedge go for £262, Edwin for £150 upwards.
So, if you like the look of Kiton Selvedge jeans, like no fancy branding stitching on the pockets, and can pick them up for £170, it is comparable to buying a pair of Levis.

Not to say that Kiton selvedge isn't made extremely well in Europe by Berto.

Kiton jeans? People actually buy those? That is like buying a suit from Levis.


Kiton jeans are made by Cohen and mostly by hand and on Italy. Last time i was visiting my masters there, a truck with those was arriving.

Nothing to be with Levis, Lee etc.
