    The disparate quality of denim is actually very, very apparent across all three brands. I've owned jeans from all three, and the BR denim is quite unlike that from the Gap.

    I wouldn't buy $100 jeans over $50 jeans if they were made from the same denim.

    I usually go about two to four weeks inbetween washing cycles with my jeans. Wash 'em inside-out and you'll have a great pair for a long time.

    Got some Nudie Thin Finn's about a month ago, dry selvage. Fits so good when you wear em' a little low. Can't wait for the indigo to do it's magic.

    Now in the winter i like to wear them with my brown leather boots and slightly rolled up legs. Love leather as well, ages just as beautiful as denim.

    Most of mine are from Old Navy. Works fine for me because I somehow ruin all of them. Only decent (i guess) pair I have are from Aeropostale. Probably the most comfortable pair of jeans I've ever owned.

    not washing jeans for months and wearing the same pair everyday kind of sounds gross. I fix homes and shit all day so i usually beat my jeans to shit. So just regular ole wranglers for me. But i do have like 15 pairs of work jeans.

    As much as I would love to buy a pair of APCs, I don't think I can really justify spending that much on denim. I understand the quality and what not is superb, but like $200+ on jeans I just don't know if I could do that.

    good to hear and totally agree^. Satisfying when they fit you like a second skin and naturally age.

    i'm a raw jean addict
    i've been wearing some pure blue japans for about a year and 3/4 and theyre my only pair of jeans lol.
    i've some owned nudies, 501s, self edge collab, etc
    once theyre broken in they become super comfy and it's cool to see how far you've come in a year

    APC's are looking great. I might have to pick up another pair, miss mine.

    I think we can all agree riding and denim is a killer. Lost this pair to it



    They lived through a fire, falling out of a car, and a million other things.

    they literally slip on every morning like they are a part of me, hahaha. Most comfortable jeans I have ever owned, and i have owned diesel (over priced, ugly, fit like garbage), organic 7's (flimsy denim, lasted only a few months), citizens (decent, but fit a little funky), plus all the others.

    i've been wearing my APC New cure's for 2 years, soaked them once. They look incredible but have literally no crotch left, so I'm not wearing them until I can find the time to patch them up.

    I am on my 2nd pair of Supreme Rigid's, the first pair was noticeably thicker denim then the second pair. Both are completely blown out in the crotches but I wear them regularly. I gotta stop riding my bicycles in raw denim.

    These are pictures my friend seth (RIP) took a few months ago. one soak in woolite black




    This was after 9 months, no wash

    levi's are good for the price, i wore them for a long time.

    however, i will never stray from my dirty denim. the fit is fucking outstanding. after a couple of weeks anyway

    Meh, idk if I'll buy anything other than 511s for a while, I just really like how they fit, and I don't really want to experiment right now. And really for the price they aren't bad at all.
