Sup effay I have a couple of questions about raw denim:

-Is it worth buying raw jeans if I don't plan on trying to fade them? Like, I want something of higher quality than the washed pairs I own now, but is it worth the money if I'm just going to wash them regularly anyway? I just don't like the way excessive fades look.

- What N&F fit is better, weirdguy, skinnyguy, or slimguy?

>> No.6435312

>>6435304
It is worth it even if you don't want fades.
Weirdguys or skinnyguys, never slimguys.

>> No.6435322

I like skinnyguys. But I'm thin as a fucking rail. Honestly I suggest you get your hands on a pair and see what works better.

not OP but who makes the best black raw denim jeans?

i'm looking at rogue territory stealth sk or stantons because i have stantons already and love the fit, but are there any better options out there?

>> No.6435351

>>6435312
Okay, so should I just wash it as much as I wash anything else or should I still wait a while?

Also, what's better, N&F Indigo Selvedge or Left Hand Twill Selvedge?

>> No.6435355

>>6435336
unbrandeds are amazing quality for the price. Never tried the blacks, but I'd imagine they're pretty good.

>> No.6435363

>>6435351
Uhhh dude. If you don't want fades, just wash it normally. How is this hard?
I can't tell you which is better, I have broken twill.

One more question: should I size up/down to account for the fact that I plan on washing them regularly? (Naked & Famous)

if you're going to wash regularly at least do it with some consideration. don't just throw them in the wash with hot water and then into the dryer.

but to answer your question: yes. Higher end jeans really are worth the price, even if you're only going for the 100-200 dollar range.

And the more you wash them the more subtle the fades will look. They'll still fade over time, but it'll be softer/with less contrast

does it take a wash for the fades to really show up initially? I've had a pair of raws for a while, but don't see any really significant fading.

>> No.6435548

Naked and Famous is shit bruuuh, only worth it for the collabs.
For that money you could get a better brand though.
Naked and Famous is denim for hypebeasts.

>>6435351
if you don't like the stiffness you can give it a cold soak right away. I'd still recommend not washing more than once a month (because really why bother unless they smell bad)

>> No.6435560

>>6435398
I don't think how often you wash should dictate how much you size down. If you cold soak and line dry they shouldn't shrink much

>> No.6435563

Noted. Got any suggestions for better brands in the 100-150$ range?

>> No.6435571

>>6435548
I only get my stuff off Karmaloop. I haven't spent more than $130, idk what other decent denim gets sold for that price.

Also I like a lot of their more ridiculous pieces. Like the rainbow fades and the ones that turned white when exposed to body heat.

>> No.6435586

>>6435529
You can get significant fading without washing at all, but for most people the fading won't be that noticeable until you wash it the first time when all that loose indigo gets knocked away. The more you agitate the jeans while washing the more indigo you'll lose as well. So you can just let it sit in a bath with soap or a detergent and see minimal fading or you can agitate it a lot manually or put it in a washing machine and get more noticeable fading

No, I don't. You poor piece of shit.

Don't even fuck with raw denim, I've bought Flathead, Strike Gold, and Ironheart and I still always go back to my levi510/511s.
Strike Gold was pretty fucking awesome though, and I think I might try some ROYs next...
