So do selvage jeans with only one side flared (the inside) look daft? I'm tryna picture it...I think in the end a normal straight leg would look better hence why most jap brands won't do bootcut. Fair play I guess.
No as I said there is some really good ones eg; Regular Ralph: the style that made NUDIE jeans what they are with out a shadow of doubt.
got a pair myself even though i haven't worn them for about 4 years.
