As someone who's been into raw denim for at LEAST 15 years, I think 1 came about as fashion was moving away from baggy 90s fashion to slimmer fits in the 00s. People were getting looser fits, because that's what they were used to, but people were like, no, go with a slim fit and it makes fades look better. But once slim fits became the norm, that rule morphed and went way overboard with it. Now fashion has swung the other direction, favoring relaxed fits, so, go with what fits you, or even a size up, if you want mobility.

This is a most refreshing slice of sanity in a world of “overkill”. The number of so-called experts/influencers out there on social media who peddle their “expertise” in high-end anythings from leather boots and jackets, to selvedge denim, to knives, motorcycles, cameras, guns and whiskey. It’s all BS. I love all of the above and have fallen victim to my own ignorance, misinformation, vanity and greed. I’m a recovering “collector” of things. These days, I try to make much better decisions based on “balance”. I still love what I love, but I’ve scaled down many of the “things” I own. It’s a much happier journey when my priorities are peace. Love the video/s. Appreciate the honesty and perspective.

I have been inspired by people like Paul Kruze and used a few off the shelf patterns.

@@CeeAreDee The hardest part is finding a pattern I like the fit of but I am working on one now based off a pair of wranglers I like. I have just been using a regular domestic sewing machine. It sometimes struggles a little getting through multiple layers of denim but I found just going a bit slower helps. My next project is working out how to do repairs as I am starting to wear holes in my earlier pairs.

Great video. Specially the advice about repairing. A stitch in time saves nine...

As someone who just ordered my first pair of jeans I really love the lack of pretentiousness in your videos. You give your suggestions and then empower the user to do their thing. To many hobby groups are dogmatic. I’m looking forward to my NF far indigo stretch to arrive. At present I plan to do a was day 1 and then begin wearing them. I want to ensure they have done whatever level of shrink. Then I can go get them hemmed.

I’m 4 months into my first pair. 22oz brave star. I went heavy against your advice because I’m on an island in Alaska and I can wear them in the cold. The fades are coming in. They’re finally comfy. And everything I’ve learned about denim is due to you and that book you recommended a long time ago “Denim Branded”. I love the history and quirky facts and trial and error that follows behind denim and I’m probably way too invested for my good health. You make fantastic videos man. You also kind of inspired me to be a photographer but in a recreational vintage way.

I have been wearing LEVI'S 501 shrink-to-fit jeans for over 35 years and have never been disappointed. The only thing I have changed is, increasing the size. 😄

The most comfortable jeans I've ever owned are 21oz overdyed jeans from Iron Heart. Just had to throw that out there

love your videos, very educational , thanks for sharing the knowledge

I was geeky enough to avoid the most of them, and big bravo for me to see the last one coming lol If I could add anything to that list, I’d say “starting with a double dye”. I am the kind of person who wants everything on hand to be a bit special from normal, so I picked a double indigo Benzak for my first raw. I love that pair but man it faded kinda slowly and made me doubt. Which in the end leads you to the “buying too many” route.

Personally I prefer the 14-21 ounce range denim. I dislike thin jeans that feel like leggings or sweat pants and have stretch in them. I can deadlift and squat without any issues in even my heaviest pair of jeans, but I also buy the correct size and really break them in by putting them to work. I also grew up wearing heavy $15 Rustler jeans from Kmart so maybe that's why I'm just used to heavier weights.

Great video. I have two pairs of 21oz IH and they are really comfortable, truly. But I am careful to size them generously, so my thighs and waistband have lots of room for movement. Suspenders make them even more comfortable, if you don’t mind looking different. One of them has a long hem for riding motorcycles, and I can cuff them when I arrive, and the other pair I hemmed to my actual inseam, so I can wear them with wingtips, loafers, or what have you without cuffing, and sometimes you just don’t want to cuff your jeans. Then I have a third pair of 16 oz Freenote cloth Avila cut indigo for general shenanigans and warm weather.

Thanks for your vids. Loving my Uniqlo jeans. You would really like the Filson short lined cruiser jacket. It's a super tough waxed heavy denim style jacket. I got my brother one and then I got one and love it.

Love my 16 oz slubs. Might end up getting a pair of 22oz slubs for winter next year too. Still need to get a selvedge jacket too. Coming from the world of business dress and high quality dress shoes, I'm no stranger to a collection lol. Finally got into boots so the jeans are more used than they used to be.

Having too many pairs is a tough one, they are all just so cool. I have justified it the same way as you, its just a "collection". You are so right though that at a certain point, one might have more pairs that could be worn in a lifetime, or they end up being rotated so much and take forever to fade. Any advice on practicing restraint? Also, any insights on where to put up raw denim on the second hand market to try to get a little money back?

I don't agree on the heavy weights. Might be a good rule for new folks, but my Unbranded 22ox Big Slub are probably my favorite pair I've ever worn.

I love your 9nth point about not gatekeeping. It’s important to use selvedge to your own identity. I try not to go for a sons of anarchy or gold miner look. Rather, I try to mix urban and old school details together in a modern but not overly skinny look that shoots for trends. Sometimes I’ll wear boots or some Nikes.

Honest question... What are Byron Barts?

I've got 21" denim and it's great for warmth (my reason for buying it) if taking a while to soften. Pleased I bought them

I recently order two pairs of custom jeans from Soso. Got an 18oz super slub double indigo and a 16oz overdyed blue. I was tempted to go with a 20oz but I couldn't stop looking at how cool the overdyed blue colour looked and figured the lighter weight will better suit California weather. In the meantime, ordered another pair of Levi's 512s because my current pair blew out in the crotch and the hole has become bigger than I can manage 😂 Soso takes about 6 to 8 weeks and Amazon had Levi's on sale so replaced my torn pair for now while I wait for my custom pairs 😍

What jacket are you wearing in this video? It looks great. And great tips, too.

Interesting i worked for levis for many years Thank you

Super helpful. First time selvedge buyer here. Very excited to start wearing them in!

You are right in not showing a gatekeeping attitude - because what definitely doesn’t fit is denim & gatekeeping

It really took me a while to figure out fit, I always went true to size in the waist, and I started going a size up and it's made all the difference. I think 90% of crotch blow outs can be solved if you just find the right cut and get it in the correct size. I wear the 501 traditionally and I haven't blown the crotch out on any pairs I own.

I’ve been “into” raw selvedge denim jeans since 1959, 64 years. First pair worn were Roebuck brand (made in North Carolina) from the Sears Department Store in Roswell, New Mexico. Wash your jeans before you wear them, hang dry. Repeat.

#10 Buying 'em! Don't get started!!

A lot of very excellent points. I have only one thing to add and if you hadn’t tried this, then I would highly recommend try it at least once. Instead of washing your new first time dirty pair of jeans have them dry cleaned. It doesn’t fade the dye, it doesn’t shrink them, and they come back like brand, new and sparkling clean. Water will fade out indigo and shrink cotton. Trichloroethylene or whatever solvent is used today in dry cleaning does not. Spend seven dollars and it will change your gene wearing experience for ever. Once the jeans have been washed in water, there’s no going back, but consider this as in my opinion, the ultimate denim hack. I’m really surprised nobody talks about this. Dry cleaning jeans instead of washing them is magical

Really great stuff, but I maybe have to disagree with the advice of not buying heavyweight denim. Based on purely personal experience, I find that while super heavy denim is not very comfortable at first, the reward comes some time down the line when it becomes SUPER comfortable. the most sheet metal cardboard feeling 25 oz jeans eventually turn into not only the most hard wearing and rugged article of clothing you own, but also the most comfortable. This is of course all personal experience and very possibly deeply biased due to some sort of weird buyers remorse ahahaha

What type 2 are you wearing please? It looks really nice :)

Hello! I am someone who has been skeptical of the quality difference between store bought jeans and selvedge/selvege/selvage jeans and has commented my opinion on your channel.🥴 sir was I wrong once I tried on a pair that worked/fit me correctly. I am not quite at the right amount of wears before first wash but I return to you humbled and respectful of denim heads. Quality is unbeatable. Two questions though, is 5 pairs of denim too many? Second, what extreme of wash should be used hot, warm, or cold?

Good advice! When it comes to the weight of denim it's not always bad to go over 15oz. During winter I wear 21oz jeans and they are both warm and comfortable. But I made sure that they fit really well. Tight 21oz jeans would be a torture...

Regarding those 25oz "Byron Barts", I have had a pair since like 2015. They are a pain in the neck to break in, I think it took at least a year of daily wear, but when you do (and if you also sized them loose enough and wash them regularly), they get pretty dang comfortable, and they don't seem to suffer the same crotch blowout issues as often as other pairs. Do most people want to do that? Heck no. But they do eventually get there.

Been there, done that (bloody expensive blunders). I've lost a good bit of weight which is another nightmare. Should've watched a vid' like this when starting out, although I don't know if there were any.

I think the size down only works if you're going from medium rise to high rise jeans. If you're hips are slightly wider than your waist, you'll want to account for that. But that's just sizing it to wear it fits, not discarding your measurements.

I don’t know , I got a pair of unsanforized 16oz Edwin jeans 14 years ago and I found quite fun the soaking process ( the breaking in process a little less ) and got a very good fit and then fade result . So I when I got back into the denim game this year , I got one 15.7 unsanforized SDA ( 1st soak pending , I have to find a bathtub first ) , one 13.5 warehouse one wash and one 15.7 Momotaro one wash . I feel ( so far ) I made the right choice and I would deprived myself of some really good pair of jeans if I stuck to your 14oz/sanforized advice :)

unsanforized does lead to a leg twist that can add a bit of style to the denim but i like both sanforized and unsaforized. when i buy sanforized it must be easy to botton up but requiring a little effort but not much and with unsaforized it must be easy to button the top without it being loose. i remember buying wharehouse lot 900 unsaforized and in it's raw form it fit so perfect waist thigh and everything the top hole was easy to button but very perfecta little snug without being tight. i then soaked it at home and it was a disaster thighs lost 1/4 inch to go from slim too skin tight. and the waist lost 1.5 inches making them too tight. even with the waist stretching it only stretched back 1 inch and the thighs did not stretch at all. My lvc unsanforized only shrank 1 inch after first wash. so with unsanforized u can lost 1-1.5 in ch in the waist. u lose about 2 inches in the leg and your not getting this back. hope someone buying their first unsanforized finds this usefull.

Well excuse me!😂 I actually enjoy looking like a dust bowl refugee thank you very much! I get mental dissonance if I try to walk the line between multiple styles. I really have to one thing and early repro is what I love! I think the line is drawn at the point you feel uncomfortable.

When buying sanforized I recommend buying a size 1 inch larger in the waist than your ideal fit, if you plan to machine wash your jeans. Because sanforized jeans still shrink in the wash, about 1 inch of shrinkage in the waist and maybe 2 inches in the hem in my experience, the bulk of which happens during the 2nd washing for some reason. I found this out the hard way...when I first got into raw selvedge I had bought a bunch of pairs in my exact size all at once, then when I started washing them I was like oh shit! They all became too tight. Had to sell them to a thrift shop at a big loss and start over!

Appreciate it Jacob. It’s a great ride so far. Not a lot of sleep and have to give up the accessories. But it’s a small price to pay.

I want to recommend Akka Denim. UK based.

if you do size down, only go one size down. I'm currently wearing a sized down 2. It has stretched but I'm still feeling it in the crotch area
