raw/dry/durty denim

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I will stand by Banana Republic's denim until the world ends. For half the price of Nudies or 7's, you get a good hi-quality denim that will last if you treat it correctly and don't overwash it.

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.

Gap/Old Navy/Banana Republic, all the same thing.

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.

Why 10 pairs of work jeans and 3 pairs of nice jeans?

BECAUSE RACECAR BUILDER.

I worked at Old Navy, the only difference comes in their raw categories.

A lot goes into a quality pair of denim vs average. How the cotton was laid, the denim weight, the cut and stitching.

Levi's and Gap have made some nice cuts and have had some outstanding quality. It's personal preference at the end of the day. I don't buy designer jeans that you wash I think its boring. Kind of lame buying something that someone cut up, when you can wear them and it will do the same thing over time while you get to actually use them.
