op here, real talk, the fuck is up with that? I pretty much only wear black jeans because idk, indigo just looks kinda garden variety a lot of the time, but re quality the black denim never even holds a candle to top end indigo denim - Like my hinoya iron hearts feel great, but you compare them to my samurais and they are just worlds apart. Why does nobody make high quality black denim? Like its literally just regular denim with the warp and weft dyed black right?

Yeah this is legit, it's just a mark of quality that's all. But I've never seen non-selvedge indigo denim that didn't look like shit next to even the most basic selvedge pair

why do people love these so much. This is a serious question. I only ever see massive plebs wearing them and the back pocket stitching is so obnoxious I've never even given them a second thought. Are they well made or what? I don't think I've ever seen a pair with decent fades.

i only kind of agree with this. I feel like the fade hype is blown way up, most fades just look fucking bad and not like 'wow that is some battle hardened denim' and more just like 'wow you look poor as hell'. Some fades look dope as hell, i think it's split right down the middle really.
I barely soak my samurais and I do everything I can to preserve the indigo, the fades end up way more subtle if youre actively avoiding it and idk, it just looks better imo if youre not trying to blast all the indigo out of your jeans the day you get them

I'm on the fence about washing my heavy raws. They'd have sick fades at this point (over a year in), but I love the dark indigo.

I went impromptu sledding the other night and rolled all in the snow in my jawnz and it made some cool fades without overdoing it.

>> No.7767942

>>7767710
So selvedge is the term for an edge that is naturally finished by the loom (self edge). Shuttle looms are the only looms that create this self edge because they use one continuous cross thread. Shuttle looms generally weave a tighter and more durable denim and are thus prized for the better constructed jeans they produce. I'm not sure I see why the selvedge edge itself is any better, since you rarely see non selvedge edges deteriorating on decent jeans.

So if I got a pair of raw jeans, would I just never wash them? If they started to smell weird what would I do? I get that they have an aesthetic that normal jeans don't offer, but is it really worth it?

1. they're relatively cheap (in europe at least, can't say for USA)
2. they are higher quality than say levis
3. they have a lot of different cuts
4. the crotch blowout issue seems to be exaggerated, unless you sized down extremely hard

I bought them because I wanted to try out a pair of raw denim while im cutting weight (and waist size) so I didn't want to spend a ton of money

the investment helped me to learn understand sizing, cuts and weight/fabric and I recommend every raw denim beginner to try out a cheap(er) pair at first

I don't care about fades and I still haven't found a brand that makes non-raw selvedge jeans for a reasonable price. Levis 501 is all I wear.

Also, selvedge is not an indicator of quality. It is really just a fashion niche nowadays. It does look cool though.

Hold off on washing unless you spilled something on them and can't wipe it all off, or is they start to smell. Don't bother with the freezer thing it doesn't actually work.

Put your jeans in your bathub inside out. Fill the tub with lukewarm water and put a small amount of Woolite Dark, agitate the jeans a little and then let it soak for an hour. Then rinse the jeans off and flip right side out. hang dry.

Acne goes for ~200€ and N&F only appears to have one washed pair on their shop and it goes for 106€.

I never pay more than ~50€ for my 501s shipped to (or within) Europe.

I believe the selvedge 501s belong to the Levis Vintage line which is also a lot more expensive. I think they are raw too.

I would still love to find a pair of non-raw selvedge but for the price I will keep my 501s.

Raw denim will fade much quicker than denim with a dark wash. I want jeans that will retain their colour for as long as possible. Raw denim looks very nice when it's new but not so much after a few washes. There is no reason to buy raw denim except for the fades and fading is exactly what I want to avoid.
