Let's talk jeans

[F34R]

You guys washing your jeans only once a year and stuff, you don't like that soft feel after they've been washed 10+ times?

I'm by no means a fashionista, I only have like 4 pairs of jeans on rotation, but my favorite ones are 2 years old with probably 50 washes.

My GF is always commenting on how soft my jeans are, selvedge denim is not typical fabric, it is very soft and breaks down super well.

if the seam in the crotch area is making my sac appear like a mental man camel toe...this means it's proper fitment correct?

If you don't have a moose knuckle, you're doing it wrong.

for you older hip guys....that like well fitting jeans, maybe w/ nice loafers ..

AG.....got my first pair.....very pricey but found them on sale...great fit...buy one sz down..they stretch a bit.

other than that....ban rep straights and gap straight vintage ........and of course some 501's for track days.

<<< these were my last pair that wore well. Lasted me 5 years, my APC denim is still in its infant phase. Going to take forever to get that wallet wear again...

As you saw in here, Steve. You can spend under 20.00 for a really well made pair or upwards of 350+. I have a pair of Roy duck canvas that were 350.00. 100% American made, Gustin is a GREAT start in the raw world. They offer NC cone mill denim. There is nothing wrong with Japanese raw denim. They make some of the best in the world. Italy also makes raw silk and cashmere weave with 100% cotton. Gustin sells a pair.

For your first pair I would get a nice heavy 15oz or so. Dark wash slim fit. They are a really nice cut. I like mine a bit more low rise. Or just grab a pair of the Arizona that I reviewed. They are amazing and super soft. I do not look at the price tag or label. I care about construction and fit. Even for 100.00 these Arizona are worth it.

dude, meyle HD denim all the way

I honestly am interested in this salvage jean stuff .. I typically wear Levis because they make my taut ass look like a freshly baked muffin but they dont last .. I blow the knees out in a couple months without fail

"insert knee pad joke here"

blown out knees, pretty much screwed either way.

similar principal as buying aftermarket control arms/bushings.
yeah, they work, yeah they're cheaper, yeah you'll have to replace them sooner. pay up front a little more for better quality and they'll last longer. you'll still have to replace them eventually but bottom line is they last longer.

The pants lasting longer is 2 fold though. They will last longer because they are raw, untreated and no wash treatment. They will also last longer because raw denim typically is 12 1/2 oz/yd and up vs the lower quality or mass market stuff out of big box stores is 12 oz/yd. It doesn't sound like much but it makes a difference.

i personally prefer american denim to stay in tune with "buying american."
but i differ from most in that i make my own pants. There are several companies that pride themselves in using American denim, just make sure they say denim from cone mills of North Carolina or white oak and that they're made in the US. There is a cone mills in china now and that is indeed the same Cone mills but all made on chinese soil. That fabric won't make it's way over to here to be sewn up it'll be fully sewn garments much like Fe4r's Arizona jeans from JCP earlier in this thread.

In regards to selvage, well, everyone can make them now. China, India, and indonesia have figured out a way to make selvage and maintain a cuttable width of over 57" vs the standard selvage stuff out of japan and the US at 29"-32" cuttable width.
