After looking at a lot of Japanese denim brands on my channel, I thought it was time to bring things stateside with a look at one of the most notable names in American selvedge, or "selvage" as they spell it: Brave Star. Based in Los Angeles and made with 100 percent American buttons, leather, and thread... just not the denim itself... Brave Star is keeping American denim alive, to the relief of many US selvedge fans.

Great video review! Brave Star offers exceptional value but common complaints include relatively lax quality control (stitching, fabric flaws, etc.) and inconsistent sizing.

@DanielSzilagyi Год назад

I know this is late for a 2 year old video but I was curious if anyone online had done a review and this popped up. I just ordered the sequoia 21oz from Brave Star and been wearing them for over a day and they are amazing. Slim Straight for me in a 31 and the fabric and fit is great, I was a bit worried it would be too baggy in the hips but they are amazing and I love the colour too. Brave Star makes amazing belts and I love their thick hoodies and shirts, they seem to get better and better!

@Camronlaz 3 года назад

Great review! I just got a pair of N&F Elephant 9 21oz slubby for winter jeans. Definitely not as bad as I thought it would be or some people made them out to be. I find them plenty comfortable after a week of constant wear. I was cross-shopping these brave hearts but with with the slubby N&F for more potential character. We’ll see how they go!

Great review as always. Got the 21.5 oz 32"True Straight a month ago. Have worn every day since. Have the same experience as you, Really enjoying the breaking in process. Perfect fit for me. Not a skinny jean kinda guy, but think Steve McQueen would be all over these American Made Brave Stars. Couldn't ask for more in quality and fit, especially at this price point. Think I'll go with the Suma 25 oz next time. Really enjoy the braking in journey.

@Stridewise 3 года назад

Ah yes, I do need to check them out! Great call dude I keep forgetting about them

@somnus9893 3 года назад

Oh yes! I’ve been waiting on a Bravestar review, I was recommended them about 2ish more on 3 years ago. And was skeptical about the price, considering everything else was at least fifty to a hundred dollars more! I was really wanting to get some selvage and raw denim but not knowing much at the time I couldn’t justify the hundreds I’d have to pay for Japanese denim, let alone denim made in the USA. Which is what I really wanted, but I took the jump and have accumulated 3 pairs of bravestars over the years, a 14oz a 19oz and my favorite the 27oz sumos! So for anyone wanting to get into the raw denim world or just wants a pair of American style denim that they can rough up without worry I couldn’t recommend a better brand!

@Stridewise 3 года назад

Love it, Javon! Thanks for the tale. I think the fades aren't quite as elaborate as some guys want from the jeans, that's the only reason I can think of as to why they're cheaper but I think they look perfectly good to non-obsessive denimheads :)

I got a whole collection from 13.5 broken twill all the way to 22 now (13.5, 14.5, 16.5, 18, 22) definitely one of the best American selvedge suppliers great quality and fabrics.

Been looking forward to seeing you review something American for a while. I have a Bravestar jacket made of Cone demin that I've had for a couple years and wear it everywhere. For the price you can't really beat it. For another great American brand, definitely check out Freenote. I adore by Freenote jeans

@Stridewise 3 года назад

Yeah I legit don't understand how Bravestar stays in business with prices like this. Freenote is cool! I was looking at their jackets but the denim could be cool, the classic taper looks like it might fit me. I want some black jeans but from a new, cool brand...

@charlesbronson240 3 года назад

@dukerobinson5421 3 года назад

Hey Nick. I wear mostly Japanese made jeans but my Brave Stars are in my regular rotation. They’re fantastic jeans. I love mine especially because they’re made from Kuroki Mills 18.5oz heavyweight denim. Amazing fabric. I totally agree with you about their fits. I also like high rise jeans with 5 button flies but mine are still very comfortable and wearable. They look great, too. Minor gripe; I’m not crazy about the pocket star or the selvage edge on the watch pocket. Too gimmicky IMO. Great job with the review. I’ve always been curious about these 21.5oz jeans from them. You might next try some Left Field denim right there in NYC. They’re also excellent quality American made jeans. Thanks again and I appreciate your thoughtful effort on these great reviews.

@Stridewise 3 года назад

Haha I was wondering if I'd find someone who doesn't like the star. I think it's cool! Especially for such otherwise simple jeans, but I get it. A bit flashy, perhaps. You're the second guy to recommend Left Field Duke, they don't have a good variety of fits either but maybe it's worth trying!

@dukerobinson5421 3 года назад

@@Stridewise I don't hate the star but I think I'd prefer a darker stitching. Something slightly more subtle. It's a minor minor thing. The watch pocket selvage is slightly more gimmicky but I'm able to ignore it. The jeans are great quality especially at the price. Yeah check out the Left Field NYC brand. I think you want the Atlas fit. They source very good denim from from mills like Collect, Nihon Menpu, Candiani, Cone, and Vidalia. I have some black maria jeans (black on black) and they're excellent. Thanks again and take care man!

@CH-bp3bj 3 года назад

Excellent review! I bought a pair of the cone mills 12.5oz at the end of summer. I was wondering about the 21.5oz as well so this review came just in time. I agree, I wish they had more variety in the fits, especially since I like a wider thigh with a taper. The true straight is close though so I may snag a pair of the heavyweights.

I own PBJ, Full Count, Denime, MIJ N&F, and Momotaro so yeah those are nicer, but they are also two or three times the price.

@christophercook1458 Год назад

I have more but regret it completely. When the stitching fails you, they will ghost you, not return emails or phone calls. I regret buying the 6 pairs of jeans, one denim jacket, and all of the leather goods I’ve bought from them. The leather is fine but I don’t wear any of it on principle. They will seem to have great customer service before you buy from them, but afterward they won’t back their product at all.

Would love to see you review Levis Vintage Clothing. They recently introduced the 1984 501 LVC which has a high waist, high pockets in a vintage style also the 505. Given your body type that would be great to see on a video. Or any Levis (vintage clothing) jeans. I often see Levis videos on RU-vid but not LVC so you’d get some rare points. Informative video thanks!

@Stridewise 3 года назад

Well if they've got a high waist I might check it out! I really am in love with tapers and it'd be hard to content myself with an old fashioned straight leg, but if it's vintage Levi's it'd be worth it I think

I wish they had higher rises, that's the reason I haven't bought any of their jeans. Squat booties struggle with medium/low rise jeans. I do have a few of their masks (one is Cone selvedge) and a hat with vegetable tanned leather for the brim. Really nice stuff and great prices. I like the subtle star too; looks good and not too much. Just a little pop of style.

Have 3 pairs of their true straight 13.5oz Cone Bluecollar, 18.5oz Japanese Slubverter II, and the 21.5oz. Also have a 21.5oz Japanese double black slim straight and the 15oz Cone Americana Ironsides jacket. All of them are beautiful. The true straight is perfect for me which I really dig just fitted enough without losing the traditional work wear look. The slim straight is a bit more snug than I'd like almost more of a tapered cut. They also just released a Japanese double black in 13oz that looks interesting and are doing preorders on their 21.5oz jackets again in both indigo and double black.

@xCreepyKidsx 3 года назад

@@luckydc3761 They may be my favorite so far, nice and rigid with good heft but not comically thick. The Blue Collars feel really light even though they're almost 14oz because the denim is so smooth and a tightly woven double ring spun cotton. Personally I prefer the heavier denims though.

@b.thompson9176 3 года назад

Great review! I'd say irrespective of denim weight, ANY selvedge jeans you can manage to find on Brave Star's site that are made from Cone Mill's White Oak denim, the price is just too good to pass up. It won't be too much longer before the supply of U.S. made selvedge denim dries up and prices will sky rocket. I have a pair of 14 oz jeans I bought from Mik over 5 years ago and they're still holding together with zero blowouts. They cost around US$75 at the time, and if you think about it, that's lasted well over 5 pairs of non-selvedge jeans. Their price is unbelievable and the quality is among the best.

@Stridewise 3 года назад

Yeah, I just do not understand how they're this inexpensive, I do not get it

@b.thompson9176 3 года назад

He's able to cut out the corporate fat and all the excess financial waste associated with it by keeping his manufacturing processes streamlined. He also values quality over price and has been able to still profit by the sheer volume of people who order from him. It speaks volumes to customers, which in turn gets the word out. It's a great financial model! Just wish more companies were like that.

Hi Nick, I'm looking to try a pair of these out but I'm unsure about the sizing. On the website it says to measure the waistband of your pants and then multiply by two to get your size conversion.

I'd love to give them a try since those are great prices, but I'm like you in the fit department but even moreso with the junk in the trunk and thighs. I need a higher rise and more relaxed top block or it's a no-go. Sadly the other cheap US denim option (Gustin) suffers from this same exact problem with their fits - even their regular straight fit is like a mid-low rise that's pretty tight up top.

@Stridewise 3 года назад

Haha I cut an extra full minute of me complaining about the fit, I thought it was overkill. They still look good on me I just can't bend over in them. And YES on Gustin! Everyone keeps telling me to try them but like, I can't with this ass.

@_bats_ 3 года назад

@@Stridewise They're also pretty inconsistent. I got two pairs in the same fit and same tag size, and one I would describe as on the lower end of mid rise but with just enough room after stretching out to be wearable. The other pair feels a full size smaller in the top block and is definitely crack-exhibiting low rise. I still think you'd get a lot out of Left Field's Atlas cut!

Thanks for your comments Jason. I would add that all my comments were based on experiences prior to the arrival of cover-19. I note that on most jackets and shirts offered over the last 18 months the xxxl option does not appear on about half the new releases, so perhaps Brave Star have realised its better not to lead customers up the path with unfulfillable pre-manufactuer offers. I do hope they prosper as their products are very much to my liking.

Hi Nick. New subscriber here . I've noticed on some of your other reviews on jeans that many of them show fading in the crotch area.

Hey thanks! Sadly i'll wear a pair of jeans for a month or two and then move onto a new pair for a new review so mine aren't SUPER worn, but yes the crotch is what wears through the fastest. I haven't gotten holes in them but that's usually wear jeans wear through first. I've heard of jeans with reinforced crotches but haven't found one that fits me yet!

What is the cut on those jeans?

@dasphoenixable 3 года назад

For the price Brave Star is amazing, it’s not going to have all the little touches of Japanese brands, but they still make a great pair. As to the weight, I’ve never understood why people are scared of trying heavyweight denim, to this day my 25oz Iron Hearts are the most comfortable pair I own, it’s better than sweatpants.

@Stridewise 3 года назад

25oz is wild! I'd love to try a pair like that Alex, but it must have taken months to get comfy, right?

@dasphoenixable 3 года назад

@@Stridewise Its probably been 4 years or so since I got them from what I remember it took quite a few months to really start to break in. After a wash it probably took a week or so to stretch out again. I had them on almost daily for about 2 years before I retired them. It was a great project pair. Not nearly as bad of a break in as a pair of Nick’s boots, but in the end even more comfortable which is saying something.

@@Stridewise Great review spot on . I have two pairs of their jeans and a jean jacket . For the price and the quality i think you cant go wrong ( unless their fits don't work for you ) Naked and Famous made a 32oz denim a few times I recall . Cheers

@jamescooper7957 3 года назад

I own the same pair. Solid jeans for the $. Where else can you buy 21 oz, Japanese selvedge jeans AND have them hemmed for under $150?

Could you do a review on palladium boots?they’re more of a converse with steroids but I think they can serve as a decent boot considering they were once used as a legitimate boot .

It would be great to see you review Uniqlo’s selvedge denim for a super budget option. They seem quite popular on r/rawdenim as a starter pair for those new to the hobby

Coming from a guy w/ butt and thick thighs, there’s no way Nick could fit his thighs in a pair of Uniqlo selvedge. The F. Riseis 10 inch (low) and B. Rise 11.5 inch at best and the thighs are slim IMO.

@brod5714 11 месяцев назад

I have a pair of 15oz bravestar. Size 33 (35inch waist) the waist stetched so much! I havnt washed them yet though. I guess what im trying to ask is, after a wash and they shrink a bit, they will most likely stretch back out to what they are right now? For my next pair would you reccomend going down a size so that they stretch to fit a bit more so I dont end up with the waist band bunching up like crazy? When i first got them they fit perfectly in the waist. But id rather suffer more in the beginning if it means a better fit later. Im looking at getting the 21 oz bravestar next. Thanks for the video and if you see my comment!

@MrLorenzoVids Год назад

Why would you soak them? You listed the jeans on your video as sanforized so it is already preshrunk? Not like unsanforized where it will shrink to fit when soaking,

@erikhartley2494 Год назад

So are you actually a 32 in “normal” brands? I’m not sure what size to order. I’m usually 33 in most Levi’s unless they’re stretchy.

@broadband1927able 3 года назад

Have got loads of Bravestar stuf, spent about $3,000 in the last year. Customer service and order fulfilment can be "hit and miss". half of the pre-orders I have placed over the last year have failed to be made - specifically xxxl jackets and shirts. I kept ending up with credit notes, ie giving Bravestar a long term $700 plus loan. I got some of it refunded and spent the rest on stuff I did not need at the time. Anyway their unreliability with pre-order fulfilment means I am going to buy my stuff elsewhere - even if it costs more - so I can get what I want, when I want it.

@ssl33p 2 года назад

Glad you mentioned the customer service. The most important part. Sent them a simple question before purchasing...Never got a reply. So guess what. Never ordered. Unsubbed from their mailing list. Not gonna risk it.

I like a slim fit with my Levi's but not sure about this style of jean? Also the lengths are wayyyy too long idk if that's because they are designed to be folded up at the bottom or what
