Denim General

[Anonymous No.8286135]

In this thread we will discuss denim, whether it be jackets or pants.

I am a complete beginner when it comes to the subject and often fantasize about having a personalized pair of jeans with the sickest fades. I'm more of a stacker than a cuffer, so how does one go about getting stacks like in pic related?

Further discussion:
What denim brands are you into and what pairs do you own?

What Is Raw Denim?

Raw denim is denim that has been unwashed, untreated and virtually untouched to the extent that it remains in its pure form.

Raw denim is typically produced with 100% cotton and feels heavier than normal denim. They weigh from 12 Oz, which is considered lighter than average for raw denim, all the way up to 16 Oz, which is considered the heaviest.

The fit for raw denim jeans come in every style from anti-fit (loose) to extremely tapered and skinny.

The key difference between raw denim jeans and normal denim jeans is the way you take care of the product. For raw denim the wearer typically “breaks in” the jeans through consistent wearing over 6-8 months and will not wash them for this period. With continued wear the originally rigid jeans will begin to soften as fades become solidified within the denim.

[Anonymous No.8286167]

There are two main reasons to wear raw denim.

1. Raw denim can be likened to an individualized canvas. With consistent wear fades will form around three main areas, the crotch ( these fades are called “whiskers”), the upper calf to the back part of the knee ( these fades are called “honey combs”), and behind the ankle ( these fades are called “stacks”) together they are the pride of every raw denim wearer. Each fade can be likened to a story, or a chapter in a person’s life. Serious raw denim enthusiasts remember when and where each fade was created and why it was.
For instance, the left most whisker on my Nudie, Grim Tims was created when I attempted to jump over a fence to avoid a run in with a dog. By over extending my leg I put enough pressure on the raw denim to create this unique fade which will last a life time.

Because the life expectancy for each product is so long, some wearers even create wallet, cell phone, and key fades as well as minor tears. Though normal jean wearers consider the increasing of fades and tears to be taking away value from the product, this is exactly the opposite for raw denim enthusiasts. Each “imperfection” actually adds value; think of it as adding additional brush strokes to a canvas.

2. Raw denim jeans are environmentally friendly; due to low maintenance ( less wash loads) and less-labor needed ( jeans are left untreated after initial dyeing).

Nudie Jeans
Pros: Affordable: ($185-$285)

Softens up much faster than its peers, allowing wearers to be comfortable in them faster.

Wide variety of “cuts” that are able to cater to any body type.
-ex. Grim Tim- tapered legs but wide enough waist/crotch area to avoid blow outs
-ex. Slim Jim- slight taper on legs but extra room around thighs create the look of “not too skinny to be uncomfortable but still slimming and stylish.”

Cons: Not very durable
-ex. Unfortunately after 4 months of everyday wear the inseam began to give out.

Material is not as rigid as its peers. Though this allows for the denim to soften up faster it does not allow for the intense honeycombs, whiskers and stacks that typically come with heavier/more rigid jeans.

Imperial Denim
Pros: Extremely durable, these jeans will last up to three years even with everyday wear.

Typically heavier and more rigid; allowing for the creation of intense fading.

Prominent logo- Imperial denim has its signature three curving lines converging is stitched on the back pockets and is far more noticeable than some of its peers.

Cons: These jeans come with a price, typically $250 +

Though a few straight leg fits are offered, the majority are extremely tapered and usually fit tight from top to bottom.

Skull Jeans
Pros: Indigo used is darker than its peers. This allows for the contrast to be greater when fades are created, really highlighting the hard work you’ve been putting in.

Tighter weave allows skull jeans to act almost as a second layer of skin. Because of the unique weave fades are created much easier as every movement in the legs helps to construct a new crease.

Cons: Rumors that the product is not up to the standards of its peers in terms of quality. It has been noted that the prominent raw denim retailer, Self-Edge stopped carrying Skull jeans for a period of time because Skull emphasized style over quality. (Skull jeans are now carried by Self-Edge once again)

[Anonymous No.8286181]

For the new wearers of raw denim there are a few things to keep in mind when investing in a pair.

1. Raw denim stretches out and you must size down accordingly. Though sizing down is different for each brand the general rule of thumb is to go down two sizes. For example, if you are a size 32 with regular jeans, then size down to a waist size of 30 for your raw denim pair.

A size 33 jeans would translate to a true waist size of 35.

2. Pre-soak your jeans. After purchase presoak them in hot water so that they will “shrink to fit.” I personally recommend wearers to soak them and them try them on while they are still wet and keep them on for at least 20 minutes so that the jeans will shrink to your particular body shape. This way as the jeans stretch out they will do so in a way that best complements your body shape.

3. Keep your jeans clean! Just because you are unable to put them in the washer for a few months does not mean you can simply let them be. Every three weeks or so hot soak them for 2 hours to keep them hygienic. (using hot water will also prevent the jeans from losing too much color)

You will lose a little bit of color with every soak and this is completely normal!

4. Wash your jeans when YOU think it is time. If you consistently wear your jeans everyday and for the majority of each day then 4 months could be enough to really solidify your fades with a wash; however, if you wear them only a few times a week then you might need to wait 8-10 months to do so.

5. Have fun with your jeans. Just because some consider them “art” or an expression of individuality does not mean you should freak out about every little ketchup or mustard stain on them. Just wear them knowing that every moment you’re in them your creating something more valuable than just a pair of jeans. Think of them as a college of memories in the form of various fades.

Why is this a bad thing? You don't want to be wearing plain ass jeans do you?

[Anonymous No.8287086]

>>8286135
Those aren't stacks. Stop and fucking think for a sec, the back of your knees are gonna make creases in your pants whether you stack or cuff. Stacks are when it bunches up down by your ankles and sits on top of your shoes, and they aren't mutually exclusive with cuffing. You can have a cuff and have your jeans still stack. Most people think stacking looks better with slimmer fits, you can have your own opinion.

All I got right now is a pair of UB101s with a few months of wear on them, I've been doing everything in them though and have washed them 3 times already.

>>8286165
Raws can come in up to 28 oz. now, with heavier denim averaging about 21 oz. Most /fa/ approved skinny raw denim will generally be from 14 to 18 oz. though.
Also, wearing raws for at least a year before washing is the general consensus. Or just never washing them until they literally give out.

>>8286167
I've never had a fade that comes through this quickly.

>>8286174
Much more prevalent /fa/ denim:
N&F: good quality denim but the only cuts skinny enough to be /fa/ are stretch, and stretch denim is much harder to fade, and the fades won't look as good.
APC: denim is not as high quality, but like the Acne Ace Cash, you're paying for the cut not the denim. APC Petit New Standard is an excellent skinny cut that will give some good staxxx and fades relatively well.
Rogue Territory: pretty much the highest quality denim brand that makes a skinnier cut. It will not be as skinny as the N&F Super Skinny Guy or APC Petit New Standard, but looks better than the Japanese denim brands with like 8" leg openings and 40" inseams.
The heavier the denim, the harder it is to fade, but the better it will look.

>>8286181
This is all brand/vanity sizing dependent and sizing down 2 isn't always a good rule of thumb. Soaking is optional, but if you do it, do it for about 30 minutes and put them on until dry. You can freeze them or soak with a bit of Woolite Dark if they get smelly, but do NOT soak hot every 3 weeks. This will drain all of the denim.
Most jeans need at least 6 months constant wear to fade a lot, so if you only wear them twice a week it may take up to two years to get great fades.

Remember, regular denim is a purchase, raw denim is an investment.

N&Fs Weirdguy 32oz. jeans have been around for years.
> wearing raws for at least a year before washing is the general consensus
Six months is the typical wait, I don't think I've ever heard anybody recommend a year. At that point it's usually folks who do ocean soaks or simply never give'm a proper clean.
>You can freeze them
Doesn't work. Cold does not kill bacteria, it only retards colony expansion. One the jeans thaw they will start to smell again. A much better solution would be a denim odor sanitizer like retaW Mood, as it not only introduces a mild mint fragrance, but contains an antibacterial that should kill any colonies.

Adding to the brands:
3sixteen
Raleigh Denim
Flat Head
Iron Heart
Self Edge (collabs)
Kamikaze Attack
Pure Blue Japan
Railcar Fine Goods
Tate and Yoko
Momotaro

As a general rule, Japanese denim is more adventurous, American denim is more conservative. Reason being Japan has many high end denim mills that can afford to experiment, while the US is pretty much locked in with Cone Mills. Cone Mills is great denim, but you won't find scratch and sniff raspberry denim or jeans heavy enough to stand on their own.

Many raw enthusiasts are hipsters who love sizing down aggressively. This practice leads to inordinate stretching, which causes blowouts in the pelvic region. If you buy them in your size i won't be any more of an issue than it would be with a pair of washed jeans.

Not to mention the fact that there are several top notch denim workshops around the world who can repair your jeans on fantastic vintage machinery, giving them a tremendous and unique 'repaired' look.

You really, really can't trust promotional pictures from most sites, because the models almost never size down properly on the jeans and they'll take it at least a size too big so they can put it on quickly I guess.

The PNS is very tapered from the knee down, not so much in the thigh though. Any size around 27-28 is going to have a leg opening of 15.5 to 16cm which is very narrow.

Check APC's website for pictures of what the fit actually looks like, but even then you can't judge exclusively on this.

No. Indigo doesn't bleed because it's not water soluble. Instead, what you get is indigo loss through crocking. Wearing the jeans loosens the indigo and washing them lifts the indigo off the fabric and deposits it into the tub, washer, etc.

they're iron rangers, i get em pretty muddy and wet, and they're definitely water resistant. If i walk through a puddle, no problem.

I've had em about 2 years now, and they're holding up very well (minus usual wear and tear on the heel that you can see in the pic). Give em a rubdown with mink oil about once every 6 months, and I wear em about once every five days.

both the NS and PNS have pretty wide thighs (more so than the Petit Standard anyway), but they're nothing alike. The difference is only from the knee down but it's quite a drastic one.

I'd say NS, possibly getting the leg opening tailored to be narrowed if you want to, but if your thighs are really big, maybe you need something like their straight cut, called the Rescue.

I've been browsing trough some 511's fits to see how they fit people and they seem to fit well on skinnyfat/normal people.

I'll still try them on store if I cop them, but this way I may avoid the awkwardness of coming back from the area where you try clothes (can't remember what it's called in english) because I chose a pair of jeans that was too tight for me. I've thought about trying the 513's first and then the 511's if they fit baggy on me, but it's still kind of an awkward situation that I'd rather avoid.
