Then what is the upper echeloen of denim then?

300 Dollar Dior Homme that Kanye West Wears or the 400 dollar Sugar Canes? Give me a break...

I wear True Religion and Rock & Republic because I want to, I like it and to impress the females..

Not to impress men or Fingerollin who looks like a Dark Skinned Charlie Villanueva

i feel everything you sayin, i cant even remember the last time i been on superfuture or cared what NT says about jeans. its a very small percent. hellpeople around my way dont even wear the premium jeans they say are crappy. hollister, a&f, lucky, buffalo. very avg. jeans are what ppl wear around here.not to mention they prolly not like me at all.

 

[megantic bandit]

true religion and rock and republic suck.



I'm wearing flat head f380's right now, not to stunt but because i like the fit



I also have a pair of skull's which is probably the sexiest/most worn jeans i have.

 

[lurkin2long]

i just looked up flat head and skull denim. i mean if i just flat out dont care about the raw denim look, also why is it that raw denim ppl wear they jeans sotight? honestly it aint for me. so to each they own.

Damn, the more I see Imperial denim, the more I want a pair. But I'm already occupied with a few pairs right now.

But Def will cop a pair in the future.

This blend has been used by many Japanese denim enthusiasts.

How exactly do you combine the egg and vinegar do I beat that #*+# (pause) together like scrambled eggs and then apply it or what?

First you beat the eggs like scrambled eggs and pour in the vinegar.
You can pour it over (recommended - what I do) or use a paint brush (slower but you get your targeted areas)

most REAL Japanese denim enthusiasts would tell you to just wear your jeans. It aint cooking 101

. But to each its own, or however the saying goes...

I agree with you... They are just jeans. If you just wear them like a regular pair of jeans they will fade.

I wouldn't want to be walking around with raw egg on my jeans. That just seems

to me.

heavier denim takes longer to break in than lighter denim, but it really depends on the fit and body type. are they slim, baggy, tight?

 

[mplsdunk]

they are just regular straight legs, not tight or really baggy, i posted pics of them on the 3rd page if that helps.

I never really read this thread or gave it the time of day because denim is such a owner specific thing.



Quick breakdown of my denim since about 2004.



True Religion Billy (The Boss)



True Religion Billy (Bad ***)



Seven for All Mankind Bootcut (New York)



Seven for All Mankind A Pocket (Caribbean)



LRG Straight Root Fit (Grass Roots)



Hollister bootcut faded lookin joints, not even sure what they called, but they light colored.



Gap Selvedge.



Abercrombie straight fit





--------my point is, I have a really strange assortment of denim. I bought the designer stuff 2 years ago. the Abercrombie and hollister joints are from 02-03.the last two pair I bought were the LRG and Gap joints. Honestly, the only ones I still really like are my 7's. I never buy denim anymore because I cannever find a pair I really like.

 

[hypebeast mcstreetwear]

Gap Selvedge.
til I get my cake up...
