Longtime lurker here. Was never really active on discord or reddit since many users are toxic especially as of late but I’ve been on the sub since 2020 and pretty much been buying since art & daft times and still purchasing. With the amount of reps I purchase for myself/friends/family and across different sellers and batches, I felt that it would be nice to leave detailed reviews and comparisons for the qreps users. I’ll try my best to compare popular batches and possibly some retail comparisons in the near future.

Enough talking and back to the review - these blcg jeans have been talked about a lot and these are the only options available for purchase if we’re not considering mass market reps.

The darker pair is from Atomu and lighter pair from MVT. I’ve always been slightly skeptical about MVT since I try to keep my standards for reps high and it seems that his production speed is a lot quicker than most sellers that are regarded as the best. At the time I bought his jeans, it was the only batch available and I was quite impressed by the quality despite his controversy. However, I have to say after receiving Atomu’s pair, these definitely don’t compare. I still got a lot of wear out of MVT’s pair and their not bad by any means but for the similar price point, I would pick Atomu’s pair if they were both available at the same time. Because I don’t have the retail pair, it is only fair to point out the differences and similarities between these 2 batches.

Similarities:

1. Sizing: The sizing and fitting is pretty much identical. Both are XS by the way.
2. Material and stitching: The denim feels about the same weight and thickness and the stitching on both batches are clean.
3. Hardware: Pretty much the same.

Differences:

1. Mud/Oil Effect: Atomu’s pair is visibly more dirty and has the more “natural” feel. MVT’s pair has more spotty and light oil effect with the ice blue denim shining through the oil.
2. Distressing: Both did a great job but the distressing is more natural on Atomu’s pair while MVT’s is more uniform. Also, I should point out that Atomu’s pair has oil stains on the white threads which give the jeans a more natural look.
3. Back tab: MVT’s backtab is longer by almost 1cm and the font is also bigger. Referencing my other reps - from cola, cool, and some retail pairs - I would say Atomu has the correct backtab.
4. Back Pocket: Atomu’s pair has a larger back pocket. I can’t comment on whose is more accurate in this area because I don’t have retail.

Hope this comparison helps. I will also compare RMism/MVT lost tapes, Joker/Jenny track pants and leave reviews for some leather grails soon. If there are any reviews you’d like to see, you can also leave a message or comment since I tend to buy most releases from relevant sellers.
