raw/dry/durty denim

[Francois Dillinger]

I have 1 pair of jeans and they are a wide leg(not flared) pair from value village. they fit over my shoes like fenders should wheels. but, they're womens. nobody makes wide leg guy's pants

That's why I'm asking you guys for recommendations. I'll look in to what you recommended and try out a pair to see if I like them.

for sure. yeah mean just get some STF 501's to start out. they are readily available, inexpensive, and very good quality for the price. i recommend doing a hot soak and air dry to start out though.

I have worn jeans that have been in the hundreds per pair and $30 per pair. I will admit lucky jeans are extremely comfortable, but not worth the price. The best fitting jeans are the ones that fit well after walking around in them for an hour or so.

i wore luckybrand in middle school....they are seriously some of the shittiest over priced denim i've seen. the button fly opening is kinda funny though.

How do I tell if they are raw? or Is that only the selvage ones that are?

like kielan said, not all selvedge is raw, and not all raw is selvedge. you can tell by the look and feel of the denim.

I would call that a dark wash, and it is raw

raw=unwashed. so anything with "wash" in it, is not raw. well...there's one wash, but i would be extremely surprised if levis had one wash denim, and it would say one wash in it.

I found it, its the 501s that are shrink to fit

i rock bdu pants, cant beat $30 a pair lol, there super durable and comfy to.

This is true. STF 501s seem to be ground breaking ideas LOL.

Big fan of Levie 511s, but plan on trying something a bit nicer when my current pair of raw selvedge from them are used up. T.j. Maxx will get their raw non selvedge denim in on occasion which ends up being a good deal at 20 a pop. Their raw nom-selvedge denim is pretty quality for the price it goes for. I dislike the feel of washed or soft denim now, just feels cheap, can't do it. My only complaint on the 511s is I wouldnt mind it being a bit more narrow cut down towards the ankle.

Take them to a tailor, and see if they can do something about that for ya.

Right now, I really do like my selvedge 511s love the way they feel, even though they are a washed denim, they feel so much better than that of their non-selvedge, rigid offerings.

From this point, I'm not sure what my next pair will be, I'm seriously considering Rogue Territory and N&F. Obviously Unbranded is the cheapest way to go, but I'm not sure if they will ever be in stock again hahaha.

I do want a pair of raw 511s though, I feel it would really round out my Levi's experience haha.

They will never be in stock again ever. Find out if rogue is chainstitched before you drop the coin on them. They are Sanforized so they wont shrink much but I bet they will stretch a good amount.

I know, I know. I haven't looked into them any more since we talked about them earlier.

im too cheap for expensive clothes. plus, i always find myself working on cars. any time i try to wear something nice i end up ruining them

Glad im not the only one who always seems to find themselves working on cars when they are in nice clothes haha

I do it all the time. Don't be a pussy.

If that is your excuse to not buy higher quality clothing, then don't pretend that you want high quality clothing because its really not a valid excuse.

Wait was that directed at me or at pussies?

[Dudermagee]

I don't buy\wear them, because spending $100+ on a pair of jeans is fucking retarded.
