Hi 'new boy'!!
If in London take a look at your Harvey Nics & Selfridges type of stores - they will cater for most tastes be it street like RMC, TYO, Evisu to your designers like Armani, Boss, McQueen etc.
Remember with buying online you can try them on in the comfort of your own home. Try them with various trainers or shoes, different tops, get opinions for different people etc. Yes you may have to pay return postage with would be a few quid but definately worth it if you can't by the product in a shop or if the product is cheaper online!
Togged.com will be able to help you out no problem - they are top guys who all know about what they sell!!
RMC are purely class. They have some amazing designs which blow every other brand away - they just can not compete. RMC is a smallish brand which means you won't see loads of people wearing it - like you do with Evisu & other brands.
The actual quality of the denim is decent & has an oustanding texture.
Plus the jeans (imo get better with age - much like a wine!). Take a look at some of the worn jeans around - they are the dogs!
Re the price point - they are produced in limited quanities which result in high over-heads. If you were to make 10 pairs of jeans, it would cost alot more than to make 100, which would also cost alot more than to make 10,000 pairs. You are paying for high quality raw materials & a limited product.
I would say order a couple of pairs maybe an RMC & Yoropiko to see them. The photos do not do them justice! You can always cancel the order & get a full refund!
Which
ones you got your eye on?
