Is selvedge denim still cool? It was like ten years ago when i was in high school and now i can actually afford to get a good pair
yeah it’s still cool because it mostly just looks like jeans. Most people wouldn’t be able to tell or care
Yeah, just don’t be a stupid and wear it with a bunch of workwear that’s all fresh out of the package. Selfedge and blue in green have nice Japanese denim. Brave star selvage make cheapade in usa stuff but its usually preorder only.
Stay away from LVC stuff unless you have money coming out of your ass.
Im fond of brands like pure blue japan, momotaro, samurai.
Also check out taylor stitch, leftfield nyc, railcar, 3sixteen, tellason, RALEIGH DENIM WORKSHOP
Oh and naked and famous, if their cuts work for your body, i always found them to fit kind of weird
Samurai makes the most interesting denim if you actually care about fabric texture and different weave tensions and weird shit like that
Thanks!! I always wanted a pair of N&F back then, best i could do was a too small pair from a consignment shop. ima check these out
N&F is probably the best value also interesting fabrics and designs. The other japanese brands have nicer stuff but they’re 2x more money.
Im looking for a fit like Levi’s 511s by the way if you know one specifically
I think the skinny guy fit is closest to the 511 but im not really sure, they have a pretty good fit guide on their website

511 is slim fit which means you should go for weird guy
Thanks
+1 on tellason. they are a small brand but their shit is all high quality. unlike most all of those other brands, they will pay the return postage so you can feel safe trying out anything they have. god luck finding any other selvedge internet brand that will do that.
I have a pair of Unbranded jeans and they’re well made and at an excellent price point.
i disagree. i think unbranded are naked and famous’s 2nd tier trash. i hated the fit and the way they felt. you are better off buying hecking Gap selvedge if you need cheap selvedge so bad.

>black selvedge raw denim
>white common projects
ive worn only these things for over a decade. saved so much money. still look great! i only own one pair of pants and shoes and just have a closet of black ts
Based minimalism, id like to simplify my shit
I bet you stillook better than 90% of people out there

raw selvedge will always put you above the norm
I do the same but I also wear, grey crewneck t shirt.
What brand is your denim ?
Washed looks infinitely better then rigid denim. Wish they made washed denim with selvedge.
They do
It’s hard to find
They do, just gotta do some research into brands that offer it
I’ve got Tom Ford washed selvedge.
Congrats. You hella over paid just for the name
I wear a pair of Momotaros every single day. They’re so comfy and fading a lot
I want to get another pair to add to the rotation. Cannot recommend Momotaro enough
How often should I wash my jeans if ideally I want my jeans to fade like this? So far I’ve worn them about 40-50 days after a hot soak when I first got them.
won’t the sun do this
Maybe after several decades in the sun, but the whole area exposed to the light will fade uniformly. Jeans fade the way they do because of abrasion: the warp yarns aren’t dyed to the core so over time the indigo dye is worn away gradually exposing the undyed core.
those are just vintage fades
the rule is for vintage fades: more frequent washes, every 30-40 wears
for high contrast fades: less frequent washes, every 6-9 months or less (if you can get away with it)
Thanks, that’s exactly what I was going for since they are repro jeans.
It’s more of a reddit hobby now
Don’t cut yourself on that selv edge.
You should also take the hint that self edge and super future hecking 404 instead of take you to denim forums
Nobody cares about jeans anymore.
it’s aight but nothing to brag about anymore. i still only wear it (probs around your age)
i do think glover looks good in it tho

how can you even tell those are raw denim? because that dark color?
Nobody cares nor knows the difference.
It is generally associated with high quality jeans so the denim itself might be nice, however, raw denim is stupid, the "fades" make you look like a hobo.
Pre-washed jeans with uniform colors like the ones OrSlow makes is the best choice style-wise by a mile.
Phone fadez are hecking digusting.
any outfit inspo lads?
I have nothing against selvedge, but most of the times cuffed jeans look like shit, specially if they are on the slimmer/tapered side.
selvedge jeans and raw denim straight bussin fr fr no cap
can anyone ELI5 what raw denim is?
I remember hearing about The Naked and Famous like 10 years ago but that was about it
it’s just old fashioned jeans that dye everything you wash them with. The appeal is that they’ll fade uniquely over time and the fabric is usually much nicer than normie shit
It’s jeans that doesn’t come pre-washed.
This means that it will:
A. shrink considerably upon being washed the first time
B. fade quite a bit overtime
It’s basically cumbersome hipster shit.
You can buy high quality denim made with great fabric that is selvedge but is not raw.
Selvedge denim is cool in that it’s usually higher quality and higher quality is always cool. People can have some strong feelings about selvedge because it was real popular a decade ago and quickly gained a big following among those insufferable reddit types who take things too far and suck the fun out of it. Also zoomers for some reason have a strong aversion to anything other than light wash so to them raw denim is not bussin.
I hate denim, corduroy and moleskin are far more comfortable.
