Tsubi Denim

[PrincessImp.]

I was wondering. I'm quite short and I'd like to buy a pair of super skinny Tsubis (the ones with the zips). But since they have zips I won't be able to get them shortened. Do you think it would look stupid? (as on the pic?) I'm 1m65

If you are 1.65m I think the skinny zips will look fine on you.
In fact, in your pic, Ashley Olsen is much shorter than 1.65m, so it definitely won't bunch up so much on you, just a little bit really.

By the way, I am the same height as you and own 2 pairs of Tsubi skinny zips, so personally I think you'll be fine in them

which is skinnier, the scooter or the lean bean?

From memory the lean beans are skinnier and I think made from stretch denim, I have the scooter's, they are not stretch denim and have a fitted but not skin tight fit, hope that helps a bit

I am 158cm and i wanted to buy the same ones ash is pictured wearing, i asked the girl in the store about it who was also short and she said when you get them taken up, its easy to get the zip taken up as well! They are so common over here, i think it will be like sass and bide soon and no one will want to buy them cuz their so popular. Over here they are in chain stores and boutiques and aren't very expensive either. I really like there long sleeved tees, they're such nice fabric and awsome colours!

squwark rinse superskinny zip

(mycatwalk.com.au)

the lean beans are skinnier than the scooters, scooters have a 18cm leg opening whereas the lean beans have a 17cm leg opening. the lean beans are also much longer

if a particular style has sold out on mycatwalk.com, try www.fat4.com its another aussie website and it charged $15 for registered international post to most countries!

theres another thread on tsubis here: http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/f46/tsubi-jeans-26731.html

4 out of 5 scenesters wear tsubi over here, its quite funny actually when you go out, and yes the quality has deteriorated over the years, 2004 was probably the last good batch.

Really? how much cheaper than in the UK, say for the super skinny jeans?

Did I imagine reading that they've started manufacturing outside of Australia ?

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but yes. Their denim is still made in Australia I believe, but its terrible quality.

 

[just_me]

How much quality can you really expect? It's only JEANS at the end of the day, no matter how you put it.

No sorry that wasn't sarcasm haha. I was just wondering if there was a particular reason for the decline in the quality of the denim , surely more money (for the brand) would equal better quality.

 

[enak]

just_me: I was just saying that the quality has been worse and worse since they started.

ApertureRomance: ye I suppose more money. It's for that reason really that I havent bought anything from tsubi since they dropped the quality of the jeans.

 

[redeemed_by_Him]

tsubi is made of low quality?! what are the quality straight/skinny jeans then? how about claudine (im not sure of the spelling)..? currently im lookin for the perfect straight leg jeans ard!! so yea, any recs?

 

[crunkazn]

I got the scooters in a size 6AU and they are really loose... I have a pair of lean beans on the way, am I going to have the same problem with this cut? The waist is fine it's just baggy kinda around my thighs and crotch area... I wish I was a bit bigger

 

[fashionfixation]

yeah, the scooter and lean beans don't look really "skinny" to me.

 

[gone_dotty]

i believe the quality of the tsubi jeans really depends on the wash and style. i find the quality of the super skinny zips not very good because the denim is SO thin. however the quality of my aged black lean beans and vintage indigo lean beans are fantastic. the streaky baywash wash isnt very versatile because the denim has been worn out so much, it rips easily, it happened to me once, where the jeans ripped at the crotch area. i sent the jeans back to tsubi and recieved a refund. i was happy with that.
the tsubi denim used also isnt from australia i dont think, they use denims from japan i think? i could be wrong. the jeans are supposedly made in australia as well.

fashionfiaxtion, the scooter and lean beans are very skinny. the scooter is a straight leg style and the lean beans are inbetween a skinny and a straight.

 

[crunkazn]

Well my scooter are way looser than my lean beans!!! The lean beans are a perfect fit, so fitting... Whereas my scooters are loose, they don't fit me properly around the crotch and thighs!!! I'm pretty little so I guess that's why they don't fit

On the first thread somebody said something baout Tsubi being disorganised. Well there have been articles in the media where they owe $250k to their manufacturers. Rumours are speculating that they are in debt.

Also, Ive been doing some marketing plans for some boutiques around Brisbane and they are no longer stocking Tsubi as their brand is going down hill and refuse to stock it as mass chainstores like General Pants stock the label.
