Levi's VS. Uniqlo VS. 1 Tiny Japanese Denim Brand.

What backpack is that? What shirt? What jeans? Fear not, they are all listed here!

Ah, selvedge denim. At one point in fashion history it was all the rage...then it stopped...and now it's kinda oozing back into the world and I couldn't be happier. Raw denim. Levi's jeans are the OG. The most famous jeans in the world. Their LVC line isn't AS famous as their regular line but it's still quite legendary. However, how does it compare to a brand like UNIQLO? The low price monster! Well, you'll see. And what about TCB Jeans? Are those any good?! Find out today as we find the best jeans in the entire universe and beyond the universe.

I have seen a few of your videos, and I have to say - As far as the Menswear / Men's Fashion genre goes, you have the most unique and interesting editing and videographic creative direction. You balance really well being deeply informative with still being fun, personable, and enjoyable to watch. I particularly love the outdoor setting for many of your videos.

This kid is so good. The quintessence of “just keep going”. He doesn’t even make reference or even wink to the audience that he’s getting rained out and eventually totally soaked during the day he planned to shoot. He just keeps going

Uniqlo Selvaged are best. I don't care. They affordable, the quality is good. Will last longer than walmart jeans. Not everyone can spend $800 for jeans. So Uniqlo is jeans for every working men who are tired of bad jeans that itch your skin and look really cool on top of that. You can work & dressed up with same jean for events. It's the best alternative.

Just bought my first selvedge jeans at Uniqlo when I was in New York a few weeks ago. They’re a great introduction to selvedge. I really look forward to exploring more unique Japanese denim. Great video!

As someone who studied fashion, one of the reasons the leg twists is because the fabric piece wasn't cut on the natural grain line which is a usual indicator of a brand being cheap.

The evolution of the production on this channel over the past few years is fantastic. Keep it up

[AleXRuja]

A month ago I stumbled upon your channel and I gotta say, I love your videos so much that I don't really care what they're about. It feels like hanging out with someone while being informed on stuff I'll barely remember, but that I'll come back to when needed

You can find an interview by Japanalogue of Hajime and Ryo from TCB where they explain a few things including why they price their jeans lower than other popular japanese brands. It's what it costs them to make jeans and run the business, ignoring maximum profit margins.

watching your videos for a while and as bangladesh is mentioned, I bought uniqlo kaihara denim for 6 dollars and another (forgot about the brand) selvage denim for 4 dollars. cheap stuff yet great product

The thing about Levi's is that they were and still are worn by generations. I'm sure anyone can find better quality.... but... but.... but.... 501's have history. They are an iconic item of clothing, timeless classic jeans. I've been wearing them since the 60's and I'll carry on wearing them. I do wear Uniqlo chinos... well made and great value.

[davenordsieck]

Dude, I love your video style so much. It’s fun. It’s educational, without being too serious. So good.

[Favelapat]

Picked up the Uniqlo in black & navy while in Manila. As soon as I got home I put all my raw denim on eBay & made a killing. The Uniqlo has been much cooler in Texas heat. Happy with my decision! Great pair of pants at a fraction of the price I paid for other brands.

[jamesjgill]

Dude, I loved that you filmed this during a rainstorm that was trying to wash your video out!

[thinerj]

My first salvage denim from N&F... Wish there was a store close to me to try on the lvc line from Levi's.

[JimGreenFootwearOfficial]

So much to learn on denim, love it and always entertaining! Thanks Mike

[ochosinco]

You got me into the denim world. N&F and TCB are now my go to. Great vid! And every informative

[ALLOVERNYC]

Highly informative video. I liked when you said price fluctuations and the reason .

[brianng]

I remember at one point, Uniqlo's selvedge denim jeans are actually made in Japan, it had a white brand tag that says "all made in Japan" and then "Uniqlo jeans", with the Japanese flag, it looks very clean. They are allegedly OEM'ed by Edwin, using Kaihara's denim, but i have no way of fact checking that.

I'm never moving on from black and dark grey skinnies with stretch, you're going to have to pry them off my dead body. But you still made this very compelling to me man that's what's up!
