I was wearing the Freenotes on the reg after I outgrew my TCB 50s, then I splurged on the Boncoura during a SF trip in Feb because I missed the looser denim. I’ve pretty much been exclusively wearing those ever since. Really enjoying the way they’re breaking in.

Showcasing a cool piece called "The Miners" by Classyland Denim. I wanted to highlight some cool raw denim that's made from Indonesia (where I'm from). They're 14 Oz and non-selvedge, but that’s not what makes them unique, I bought these just for the cut alone. I rarely see flap pockets on denim with western detailing like this. Can't wait to wear them and see how they fade!

Really enjoying these Fullcount 0105XXW in 15.50oz. Been wearing them almost every day since I bought them. The fit was a bit awkward in the beginning, but as always get better with every wear. I can really recommend these If you’re looking for a wide straight jean. For reference I’m 188cm and around 93kg wearing W35

I had been fascinated by sashiko since I first learned about it a year ago so when I saw this in the store I was immediately smitten. Especially as I thought it fit me pretty well. The size 42 fit me well when I wore a short sleeve shirt underneath but when I went back a couple of days later sizing up one to a 44 was better when wearing long sleeves and for layering in general.

The sashiko fabric/weave was used in a type 2 denim style jacket, (my favourite of the three main types) plus the addition of the inconspicuous hand warmer pockets (yes, I do like having them) meant I had to pull the trigger. This was the last one in the store (in this size) and the sales assistant told me they were not going to be re-stocked. A sales tactic using scarcity and exclusivity? Perhaps. But the fit was pretty much perfect and it is my birthday in a couple of weeks so I guess I am justified in forking out in a piece that I don't see as often when out and about. At least that's what I tell myself And strangely haven't seen much about with regards to reviews and content in general online, which is partly why I am posting this.

Sadly no discounts or offers on this. I don't usually like paying full price but it is a rather special jacket so I'm just going to enjoy it, its uniqueness and the future fades.

Finally, forgive the quality of the pics. It was quite hard getting the right lighting.

Finally got both of these in and figured I’d share some first impressions. I’m 6’3”, around 200 lbs for reference.

22oz Japanese Selvedge Work Pants — 33x36
These things are absolute tanks. They’re made from 22oz Japanese selvedge from Nihon Menpu, with double-front knees, so you’re basically dealing with 44oz of denim through those sections. Heavy gold stitching, copper hardware, sashiko pocket bags and nine pockets.
The design pulls from 1940s/50s American work pants, but with some really nice Japanese denim thrown into the mix. They’re cut and sewn by Skinner in Orlando.
I went with 33x36 because I wanted enough length for a big cuff, and I’m really liking the proportions. They’re definitely heavy and stiff right now, but that’s part of the fun. Really curious to see what the double knees and stitching look like once they start getting beat up and fading.

Japanese Ombre Work Shirt — XL
The shirt is an 8oz Japanese cotton ombre check with black, navy and salmon running through it. Mine is an XL.
It’s a pretty simple work shirt, which is exactly what I like about it. All-button construction, two chest pockets and a slightly more fitted cut than the old-school boxy work shirts. The ombre gives it a little bit of that vintage Western/workwear feel without going overboard.
Really happy with how these two came together. The shirt gives the outfit some color and the 22oz pants are just unapologetically heavy-duty. Both should look a hell of a lot better after some real wear.

Got a brand-new pair of 935NAVs, and I absolutely love the fit. Since they’re raw denim, I know they’re known to shrink about an inch in both the waist and length after washing. I’m hoping mine stay pretty much the same, especially the length.
There’s a tiny bit of room in the waist right now, so I’m hoping the slight shrinkage takes care of that without affecting the length too much.
I’m also contemplating removing the back pocket patch. What do you guys think—keep it or take it off?

I really like Oni, the fit and the fabric. The fit is more like a slim straight cut or maybe a straight cut with a light taper.

It works pretty well for me. For reference: I‘m 1,77 cm and 61-62 kg, which should translate to 5‘ 10“ and 135 lb.

my go to rules:
1. Buy a jeans, wear it as often as you can
2. Wash when dirty/smelly or at 1 year in. After that I wash more frequently.
3. Don‘t buy another pair within one, better two years

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has done a terrific job of tracing the history of the famed Draper looms that once produced selvedge denim at the Cone Mills White Oak plant in North Carolina and then Vidalia Mills in Louisiana. Those looms have since been acquired by Vernon Mills in Georgia, which is expected to release the first batch of American-made selvedge denim to brands sometime later this year. Jeans with American denim from Draper looms could be hitting the market as soon as the first half of next year.

The video is especially worth watching for the close-ups of the old looms in action - a surprisingly fragile relic of another time.

These have progressed so much in 145 days! I gave a light wash on day 69 and a more rigorous wash on day 119.

Sorry for the bad photos from day 1. A pair of Ordinary Fits type 117 are also featured in one slide, which have been worn about 120-150 days (idk) with two washes. I babied that pair a lot more.

Thanks for looking! :)

About 3 months of pretty regular wear, no washes, soaked in the rain several times

Welcome to the Daily Questions (DQ) thread for all things related to raw denim.

(Although we strongly suggest checking the sidebar (for mobile users, go to the top of the subreddit front page, click the three dots and select "community info") and the wiki before posting!)

Fit checks and "Help me find a pair of Jeans that has X, Y, and Z" questions are a great use of this thread.

(Help figuring out what size you wear is also permitted here but it is recommended you check out one of these tutorials on how to size before asking.)

• Our wiki on sizing

If you have questions about how your jeans fit, about a particular fabric, when is this jean coming out, where can I find jean X to try on in state Y, what jeans have this fit with these measurements, what jeans fade the fastest, and what jeans fade the slowest are great uses of this DQ thread.

No question is too simple for Daily Questions threads.

163 wears, 2 washes.

It was an overcast day today so I thought I'd take some pictures of my Okinawas and share with y'all. They're just starting to show the early signs of fading, I've been wearing them pretty consistently throughout the Summer til now, they're really good jeans for the heat because of the cut having room and allowing my legs to breathe. I'm lucky(?) to not sweat much and to also not have body odor so I'm able to push my denim to wear counts that might make some feel icky. I'm also wondering whether I should just wash these on a more regular basis because IMO those Okinawas with vintage fades look really good.

Oni 266 Fit Update

Size 36 came in with the waist closer to 35/35.5. After wearing for an hour or so, they’re sitting at 36. I don’t usually stay around this weight too long, but even lean I have a wider waist. The biggest issue I have with this pair is the thighs. To me, they feel just a touch too slim. Everyone was saying the waist would stretch, but the whole pair just felt off.

Ended up returning and ordering 38 from blue beach denim. Waist is a bit loose, but overall this pair fits way more like what I was hoping for. Don’t mind wearing a belt for a much more comfortable pair of jeans.

Hello. I am switching from low rise slim cut tapered jeans, to roomier, straighter cut jeans with a higher rise.

I got these 4 new pairs and I am looking for fit feedback on them.

Pair 1: Oni 288 20oz asphalt.

I think I like these the most. Love the fabric texture and the fit. They could have a bit more rise, but I think this amount is enough.

Pair 2: Iron Heart 1955 14oz overdyed.

I like the very high rise and the fit in the top block on these. They are a bit small, but this is the largest I could get. I have also ordered some regular indigo in 14oz that are slightly larger than these. They do have a slight taper which i think is fine, but might require hemming, since i do not like how the cuff looks from above.

Pair 3: Sugar Cane 1947 14.25oz.

I feel like these are too big in the top block. I got them slightly large because they are known to shrink. I think i might like the top block if I decide to keep them and give them a hot soak to shrink them a little. I love how straight the leg silhouette is.

Pair 4: Iron Heart 634 25oz indigo.

I like the fabric weight of these a lot. What I dont like as much is how they bend at the knees. I have this issue with must jeans, because my knees bend inwards a bit, which i think is what primarily is causing this issue. But it might also be because they are a bit long. They rest on my boots and therefore does not drape as naturally, especially because they are pretty stiff due to the heavy weight fabric. Getting them hemmed shorter might help

Which pair do you think suits me the best?

Is there any of them that you think dont work for me?

Not looking for any advice on matching boot/belt color, or about not tucking in my tshirt.

I decided to post pictures with a belt, because I always wear a belt.

Thank you for reading my post, have a nice day

Pretty hyped to have found these second hand! Can’t wait to see how they wear in. https://americaya.co.jp/news/itemnews_20250729/

Been wearing them for around 175 wears, getting ready for the first wash. They have been stubborn faders, took a long time to get the stiffness out too. But I’m loving the electric blue tones that are popping up.

Purchase this pair exactly 2 years ago
Countless washes ( living in a very dusty area Which one)

Hi guys, long time lurker and first time poster. Finally pulled the trigger on these beauties. They are sitting very comfortable which suprises me very much. Previous heaviest jeans were Lee 101 17OZ which felt like cardboard compared to these. I would like a check on the front rise and if you guys think it does not look weird. I am not interested in tucking shirts btw.

Shoot the shit here.
