00:00Alright, so today we're doing something Denim Heads have been asking for Red Tornado vs Maiden, which Selvage Denim wins.
00:07I've been wearing raw denim for years, and I dug through AliExpress to find the 5 best deals on these
00:122 brands right now.
00:13If you've ever wanted Heavyweight Selvage without paying $200, stick around.
00:18Trust me, some of these prices made me double-check the listing twice.
00:23Let's start with the Heavyweight Champ, the Red Tornado 17 oz SD107.
00:2917 oz, guys.
00:31That's denim with actual heft, you feel it when you pick these up.
00:35The slim cut is clean, the Selvage ID is right there when you cuff them, and at $82.96 with
00:41nearly 5,000 sold and a 4.7 rating, this is the one I'd buy if I wanted jeans that
00:46fade like a dream and last a decade.
00:48If you only click one link today, make it this one.
00:52Next up, the Red Tornado 511XX0001 at 16 oz.
00:57Here's the smart buyer pick, it's sanforized, which means minimal shrinkage, so you can order your normal size without doing
01:04the whole soak and pray ritual.
01:06It's washed too, so it's ready to wear day one, no break in torture.
01:11$77.43, 4.6 stars, over 4,600 sold.
01:17For anyone intimidated by raw denim, this is your gateway drug.
01:21Now entering the ring, maiden.
01:24The vintage colored cotton raw denim at 13.5 oz.
01:28And look at that price, $51.72.
01:33That's serious value.
01:35Mid-waist, straight leg, that vintage streetwear look that works with everything from boots to sneakers.
01:414,400 plus sold, 4.5 rating.
01:45The lighter weight means way easier break in 2, you're comfortable in a week, not a month.
01:50This one's the sleeper deal of the whole video.
01:53The 15-ounce Sakura Ruffle Selvage Jeans, Japanese style, 100% cotton, loose straight fit, for just $40.72.
02:0240 bucks for heavyweight selvage.
02:05That's less than most fast fashion jeans.
02:084.6 rating, over 4,200 sold.
02:12If you're on a budget or you just want to try selvage for the first time, honestly, stop scrolling.
02:18This is it.
02:20And rounding it out, the maiden vintage 13.5-ounce heavyweight, the crowd favorite.
02:26$50.66 and a 4.7 rating, which is the highest score in this entire lineup.
02:32That rating tells you everything, people who buy these keep them and come back for a second pair.
02:38Straight fit, solid cotton, deep indigo that fades beautifully.
02:42For fall and winter everyday wear, this might be the best all-rounder here.
