There are lots, check out https://www.okayamadenim.com

For a good range of some of the smaller Japanese brands.
I strongly recommended momotaro for smooth jeans made with top quality hand picked cotton. Samurai for heavyweight jeans with lots of character, tcb jeans for high quality vintage reproductions, orslow for a nice contemporary easy fit with the 105, eternal for jeans that take fucking forever to fade, pure blue japan for jeans with a large amout of irregular slubbly character without getting into some of the dramatic and divisive "slub monster" type fabrics.
Personally i would aviod jeans over 16oz in weight unless you can try them on in person, they get hot and dont drape as nicely as lighter fabrics.

my favorite pair of jeans is from shockoe atelier, their kojima jeans in the vintage cut. can't take a pic because im getting them repaired, but they are the most comfortable pair i've ever had straight out of the box. not very flashy or different, if that's what you are into, but they're solid normal looking jeans.

Pic related are Eytys Cypress raw. These would NOT feel soft and would fade, am I correct? I'm not into the whole indigo heritage workwear americana stuff and prefer jeans to be soft and 'powdery' to the touch, like running your fingers across the surface of flour or something.

Still the best entry level into raw denim at just $30. It is sanforized so it won't shrink after washing. The thing is that if you want fades, don't buy these as they take their fucking time to fade.

What are other great entry level raw denim brands? Unbranded and Gustin , maybe 501STF?

here's some you missed:

the indonesian brands have the best budget selvedge imo. they're not well known about but you can get really high quality selvedge for $50-100 from them. here's two of them as examples:
https://wingmandenim.com/kategori-produk/pants/selvedge-denim/
https://www.sagedenim.co/collections/bottoms

uniqlo's selvedge is also unironically pretty good. their 'normal' selvedge is like eternals where they fade very slowly, short staple, and tighly woven with no slub. boring to denim heads but they make for very robust work jeans that are stronger than their weight suggests. uniqlo also makes jeans using denim from kaihara mills (their taiwan mill not their japan mill) thats a lot more interesting and fade fast too. both are great jeans for the price.

and also while we're talking about budget entries into raws, here's the best budget entries into truly high end denim, in my opinion. they're all priced at around 200 and they're the cheapest jeans i would consider truly high end and among the best in the world:
japan blue: they're exactly the same as momotaros except with synthetic dye instead of natural dye. momotaros aren't known for their dyes anyways. what they're known for is their incredibly durable and smooth denim, that is much more durable than 99% of raws on the market because of their tight weave, and the very long staple length of the zimbabwe cotton they're made out of. unlike most selvedge they use denim that isn't focused on looking cool and all slubby and neppy they use selvedge focused on being rugged as fuck while having a nice hand feel.
studio d'artisan: honest to god osaka 5 brand jeans that start at $180 what more is there to say?
sugar cane: they're one of the best denim brands, that happens to sell their jeans at an entry level price, they would still be one of the best denim brands if they cost 2x as much. hawaiian grown cotton and made in usa.

japan or american denim assembled in usa is always going to win on price if you live in america because japanese companies have to pay huge tariffs when they import garments. they don't have to pay them when they import denim textile to sell to american brands to make their own jeans out of.

they're exactly the same as momotaro jeans other than momotaro jeans use natural indigo dye and japan blue uses synthetic with a $100 price difference.
momotaro is the best in the world for its category. tight right hand twill weaves with the highest grade long staple cotton on planet earth is their niche. they don't make their denim all loose weave, textured, and interesting to look at for denim nerds, they make it for hand feel and strength. their market is dudes who don't care about things like nep slub or shuttle loom chatter but everything else about japanese selvedge appeals to them.

but yeah the $200 tier i posted is considered mid range if we're talking about raw denim as a whole. i'm calling $150-$200 the entry level for high end selvedge. yeah there's a few companies priced slightly lower that would qualify but they're mostly asian brands with zero western online presence.
i consider "entry level high end" being jeans that don't have noticeable corners cut to construction compared to the standards heritage jeans used to have. a pair of wranglers or 501stfs is fucking great love em' but flip it inside out and its kinda obvious they're not made the same way wrangler and levi's used to make jeans lol.

thoughts on taking the raw denim jacket i'm currently breaking in normally, waiting until around the 2 year mark, after the elbow whiskers are deeply set, and then lightly stone washing it?
the more i look at actual surviving examples of worn in raw denim from the eras we're all buying reproductions of, the more i realize that a lot of people back then used to very lightly stone wash their raw jackets (not how we do the stone washing super strong like today) at some point presumably to soften them up. it winds up giving the real vintage surviving pairs a slightly different look to them than worn in reproduction.
so yeah my curiosity is what it'd look like if i wore a jacket to have the super crispy elbow whiskers and back of elbow fades they get when you do hard labor in them & then stone wash it after.
should i?

there's no exact science you can use anything from large rocks to grit, bleach or none, it depends on the finish you want and experimenting's the only way to find out.

i am speaking completely out of turn since i don't personally own them, but my friend has a pair of "unbranded" jeans that he really likes. if you can stretch the budget a little it seems like a good choice. they were unexpectedly stiff when new for their weight though, so if you get them it might take a little while to break them in.

Depends on the cut of jeans. If you are wearing a straight fit, do a more narrow shoe like some converse or vans old skools. If you are wearing a slim or a tapered fit, you can wear both a narrow shoe or even some wider toe skate shoes. Obviously a standard pair of 6" boots pair well with denim with any fit

i probably bought them in the aughts, i wore them as jeans for a few years, then i cut them off. once they got cut off they became my primary summer work jeans (mostly residential mostly remodels everything but electrical/plumbing) and the pants i'd wear for most roofing jobs. they got washed more than i usually do. around 5-7 hand washes. retired 2018.
edited post w/ more info i remembered and typo fix.

>Just get a pair of straight fit jeans, you can never go wrong
I wish I bought almost all my tapered jeans in straight cut. Except maybe 1 or 2 of the best fitting pairs.
Tapered cuts go in and out of style and are sensitive to body weight fluctuations. Only work with some fits. Straight cuts are timeless and always comfy, and slot into almost any fit.

Yeah that’s pretty much what I’m getting at. I’m decently fit to where I can confidently fit into straight tapered fits, but if you’re going to be spending $300+ on some nice selvedge you should just stick with the most universal and timeless cut. There are times that I like to crack out my pair of 888s to pair them with some vans or converse, but I’ve been heavily gravitating toward my samurai s510 way more because it’s not only more comfortable but in my opinion it’s easier to pair with any fit

I got the wrangler silver edition 13mwz years ago, but they stretched a ton in the waist. Would doing a hot soak shrink them back up? Also tried to upgrade to freenote wilkes which looked perfect in pictures, but I didn't check the measurements and the vidalia denim ended up running really small. All the reviews said they stretch out and loosen up but I've had no luck, any tips? These things are leggings from the knees up.

You need to check to see if it is unsanforized or if it’s already been washed and pre shrunk. Measure your waist and thigh size and compare it to the dimension chart of those jeans. A lot of selvedge sizing does not directly compare to average US sizing, and since selvedge will most likely be 100% cotton with no stretch, any hiccups on sizing are a little more unforgiving. Definitely don’t skip out on measuring your thighs though. You might find out that if you’re looking at a slim fit pair that you’ll actually not fit into them as well as a more straight or relaxed pair

levis raws are easy to find all over the place at box/mall stores but you have to size up on them because they shrink a ton. dont buy full price always on sale.

stores that have unbranded: https://theunbrandedbrand.com/pages/stockists
uniqlo's raw denim is good if you live near one
theres a bunch of online retailers with return for whatever reason policies like zappos amazon etc that have raw denim
if you live in america/canada depending on which state you might be able to just road trip to one of the big raw denim retailers and try stuff on in person. if at all possible that's the way to go its basically like walking into mecca with every cut and style you could ever want to try on.

Levis 501 "Marlon".
Not selvedge, but otherwise it has the exact same fit and proportions as my selvedge 501z xx, but less than half the price and you can actually wash them.
Even the color is "close enough".
Fabric is obviously softer, because it's been pre-washed I guess, and there's no selvedge flag when you roll up the cuffs of course.

People overthink this way too much. Just use common sense. If your jeans smell or you haven't washed them in 3 months, just throw them in the washer inside out on a low spin cycle and hang dry. I wash my jeans every 3 weeks or so. High contrast fades are absolutely silly looking, so there's no reason to refrain from washing them every 6 months unless you want to look like a goofball

why would you do that?
after the initial soak it doesn't make any sense to not use soap if you want to wash them frequently. soaking jeans is mostly done to remove starch from raw jeans and soften them up, and to bring out the color in the dye. it doesn't really clean the jeans.
if you wait more than about a month for the initial soak there's not any reason to not use soap either. just wash instead.
the soap isn't what makes them lose indigo especially not if you use a plain liquid soap or woolite extra dark etc.
what are you trying to accomplish? just make your jeans not smell? there's a decently effective trick for that. food saver bag your jeans and freeze them once a month. some odor remains but it doesn't smell bad and your face has to be right up on them after freezing. i'm wearing a pair of 12oz jeans right now that ive put maybe 10 or 15 roofs on houses in the heat of summer in since their last wash and they have zero odor unless i flip them inside out and smell the crotch.

>>17848228
pretty sure those are either 1 rinse or 1 wash from raw state.
which basically means they're raws. i rinse half of my raws the second i get them. tends to create better more vintage looking fades because pre-rinse causes the threads to tighten. only difference there is its done at factory instead of my bathtub.

if you just want to minimize color loss hand wash your jeans using a simple ingredient unscented castile or tallow soap instead of a detegent.
woolite extra dark care is also pretty good in terms of off the shelf detergents. noticeably less color loss than using standard detergent. dark care is ok too but extra dark care is what you want.

anon almost all the top designers sell jeans. they're definitely not the style right now but dior isn't known for their jeans huh?
you're just not understanding a simple disconnect: designer fashion is centered around france. everyone thinks of japan and america when they think of high quality denim. historically high quality cotton never grew in that area. when you want good denim you don't go to a high fashion designer. this is evident by the fact that when the designers themselves seek out high quality denims they go to the countries i mentioned to source all the materials and such.

Anonymous Thu Oct 19 01:06:34 2023 No.17849196

also the whole idea of a garment that ages and personalizes to the wearer's body and looks at its worst when its brand new doesn't lend well to runway fashion at all. what the fuck are you going to do have the models break in their raws and get sick fades for 3 years daily wearing them for a show?
common sense that's why they use sandpaper and artistic interpretation.

that's what high end designer jeans usually are. at least when you're getting what you pay for: hand distressing.
end product isn't always a pair of raw denim.
you can even do it yourself way back in the day when urban outfitters did a closeout of unbranded and were selling pairs for $18 i experimented with it a lot. i'm pretty sure at least half of the "fades of the day" on heddels back in the day were sandpaper jobs.

I've been breaking in a pair of 25 oz Iron Heart 888. In all honesty, its not really worth it unless you absolutely want the highest contrast fades you can get. If you're into heavier weight denim, 21 oz is literally perfect. From my experience wearing in some samurai and Iron heart 21 oz jeans, it's heavy enough so that you get that thick armor feeling, but it also has some level of drape and comfortable softness when they are worn in. The 25 oz holds creases extremely well, but it has literally zero drape. Not saying that they suck, but its definitely not something I'd ever spend another $400 on.

I would certainly advise you to go with 21.5. Brave star is pretty dope and their prices are fairly reasonable. If you can’t find anything in stock that you’re interested in, you can always check out SoSo denim, or find some EBay accounts selling Iron Hearts straight from Japan for like $250-300. All those companies specialize in heavy weight traditional Americana style denim with tight, straight weaves. I just bought a brand new pair of IH-634 (straight fit) for $270 on eBay. Well worth considering if you don’t want to pay the extra surcharge for buying them in the US or Europe

Are there brands making good black jeans anymore?

I used to get the Acne Stay Cash ones, the black didn’t fade and the fit was great. Just looked and they’re now £280, I paid like £120 when I last got them about 5-6 years ago.

I want something slim/straight (not skinny) and the black stays black.

Looks like some unique dyeing method native to Japan, and they claim it’s the “blackest black”. Although in pictures it looks more like indigo that’s been garment dyed black with subtle variations of tone.

>all this talk of 21oz sweet spot
IME the way to go with this weight
YMMV:
hot/cold soak when you get it even if sanforized.
it will not negatively impact fades but it will cause train tracks, fades/folds between threads to form early, and it will lessen your rate of crotch blowouts.
6-12 mo per wash for first 2-3 washes.
wash regularly.
tend to become blanketlike around 5 wash.
its a lot of work and a 3-5 year commitment but they wind up being the comfiest jeans.
this weight is prone to crotch blow outs repair them early before darning/sashiko is needed.
never ride a bike in heavy jeans.

soaking won't loosen them, if anything it'll shrink them a bit, but 13mwz should stretch a solid inch in every direction from just wearing them. when i get some jeans that fit a little tight i just do squats and karate stances in them for a few days and they usually stretch out. 13mwz seem pretty strong in the crotch because of their inverted construction compared to most jeans -- i was doing damn near splits in my raws when i bought them.

i would hand wash those in the bathtub so you don't fuck up the repair. other than that what anon said.
make sure the soap you use doesn't have any bleach or fabric softeners or shit in it.
woolite extra dark care or dark care is at most stores for a few bux and great for denim.
machine washing is probably fine but you might have to re-do the repair after a few of them.

sweat too. it becomes a sand-like substance inside the yarns and causes stress points to become blowouts much faster than if they got washed.

glad to hear anon, they're super comfy & a great option to rotate during warmer months until it gets cold enough to wear heavier denim

bought some tender 132's in brown wattle overdye during the summer and now i get to wear them out. fucking love them, they're nice & roomy and the brown dye is gorgeous. gonna be sad when they inevitably fade into light indigo

Really stupid question here, I just got these momotaro sashiko fabric pants, I knew they might be too small and they are, but only on my thighs and calves. I’m recovering from a back injury and getting back into lifting, should I hang onto them and see if losing the leg fat will help, or will I probably just be replacing the fat with muscle and not making a noticeable difference? Never measured my legs when fit so I just don’t know. Also, does anyone know if this particular fabric will shrink much or stretch with use?

Try 501 STF. I've got a 32" waist and 25" thighs and finding jeans off the rack is nigh impossible. STFs meanwhile fit like a dream. You just have to size for the thighs not the waist, make sure to let them dry on you after a soak (once they're damp-ish not dripping) so the thighs don't get too small, and wear a belt to minimize waist stretch

nips make the best repro stuff in general if you want some kind of sanf 501 cut. i'd just import nip stuff. tcb or something on the cheap end if you wanna spend more theres better options.

when i mean slow faders i really mean it with the bangladesh uniqlos. the anon asking about that earlier might be interested.
this pair of jeans >>17858623 probably got worn for like 6-12 months doing carpentry, roofs, digging septic tanks out of peoples yards etc and they're just barely starting to look broken in.
compared to this pair of jeans i posted earlier >>17839361 which have been worn maybe 20 or 30 times sitting on my couch playing video games and smoking weed.
this highlights one of the most important thing i see fellow denimfags overlook: the quality of the dye and natural vs synthetic indigo and also how the yarns were dyed matters a lot. probably more than the weight or texture or slubbiness or anything else we sperg about. but usually at most what type of dye the dying method is just a footnote in the product description nobody really thinks about.

I disagree, lightweight denim fades very slowly, and heavyweight denim fades quickly, uniqlo is very lightweight denim.

sure the other jeans are twice the weight, but i've had plenty of 12oz jeans fade fast and plenty of 20+oz jeans fade slow. the dye and dying method seems to matter the most ime.
>Most heavyweight denim posted here is still synthetically dyed natural indigo is very expensive most premium selvedge is still uses synthetic indigo.
true. the ones i posted aren't though, they're natural indigo, unsanforized & loomstate.
that's why they fade way way way better than the uniqlos and most synthetic dye jeans i've owned.
and i think its safe to assume the uniqlos are synthetic.

true. the ones i posted aren't though, they're natural indigo, unsanforized & loomstate. the uniqlos are definitely cheapo synthetic.
the weight of the denim does matter a bit but not as much as you think. the type of indigo used, dying method, and the fit matter the most ime. these days skinny fits aren't in style so i think getting jeans with natural indigo is the path to good & fast fades.

I like that Japanese cuff thanks. I am sporting that on one end and cuffed it towards the inside fully on the other. Cuffing it in is almost like getting it hemmed. Not sure which I like better, I’ve had both. My roundhouse jeans were about an inch or two too long so I just cuffed them. My naked and found jeans came spot on so didn’t need to do anything. I think cuffed looks better with boots and hemmed to fit looks better with flip flops and sneakers. Not sure which would look better with a blazer but not sure I would wear jeans with a balzer anyway.

jap jeans almost always come with a 1 size fits all inseam.

these days you're 'supposed to' get them hemmed. you can hem them to have no beak, to have a break, to have stacks, have a cuff, no cuff, there's no right answer its all up to you and what looks good with that pair of jeans on your body.
there's different tiers to hemming too.
if you go to any old tailor they'll offer "original hem" hemming or something like that. if you want to see an example of it look at my evisus earlier in the thread. don't ever get that kind of hemming on nice jeans.
they might also do a lockstitch hem. those aren't bad. i think its what wranglers have on them. if you can't find a place to do a chainstitch they're acceptable. most tailors should do it for like 10bux.
the next tier up is to get a chainstitch hem done w/ any old chainstitching machine. some tailors will do it. most upscale places that sell denim will offer it. nordstroms and uniqlos reliably will hem jeans correctly. this is what i'd consider the minimum you should do for a nice pair of jeans you want hemmed. look at my uniqlos for an example of that kind of hem.
and then finally the proper way to hem glorious nippon denim is to find a local guy or mail them in to someone with a union special 43200g /etc. that's the proper, 'best' chainstitch to have on a pair of jeans. and the kind of hem your japan blues came with. most guys with them will do this for 25bux+shipping the jeans if you need to, look up who has one in your region.

traditionally you would cuff them. if you have tapered jeans the cuff style anon showed is the best looking way to take that much length off. if you have wide legged jeans you can kind of do any style of cuff and have it look good. its all personal preference.

note that cuffs do visually shorten you so if you're worried about that for w/e reason go the hem route. im a turbo manlet and i wear 4" old timey single cuffs though. its nbd.

2/2 word limit

the difference between a lockstitch/normal chainstitch/union special job is how much sideways roping and how strong of a pull your hem will have. it affects the fades a lot. look at faded wranglers and the roping is vertical, look at faded union special hemmed jeans and it has all this sideways twisting going on above the hem at the edge of the jeans where the hem folds.
both results look good to me... lockstitch is technically stronger than chainstitch too.. on jap jeans the union special hems look the most 'right' to me though i guess.
no wrong way to do it except the 'original hem' shit.

fuck around with it at home a few days before you wear them out and decide if you like the hems or want to cuff; the creases won't set in irreversibly right away.

agree.
i also like hemmed to fit better with taper cuts and i can go either way with wide leg cuts. half the time i hem straight legs half the time i don't. and my legs are shorter than yours.

cuffing 4" down that way will look good on that size leg opening, definitely.
nope, they're sanforized there's nothing you need to do to them. you can wear them as-is, or cold soak them if you want to remove starch and soften them up without changing the fit. totally up to you no wrong answer.
if you wear them in their fully raw state they might dye light color sneakers & upholstery at first as with any raws, the cuff helps prevent that a bit, so can soaking, if its a big concern. i just wear them with beater sneakers for a while when i get em.

The roundhouse jeans are a good introduction. The denim isn’t as soft as the naked and famous but it’s been holding up much better. The Fades come slower but the naked jeans are already getting holes in them despite I’ve worn the round house jeans more often and in more rough environments. For wholesale price I think you get more bang for your buck out of the roundhouse. I paid $65 for the nf jeans on eBay and at that price they’re still comparable. I’ll see how the Japan blues hold up. They’re the most stiff of all. The interior pockets on the Japan blues are nicer than normal too.

The roundhouse were typically my work jeans wearing steal toed boots the others were typically for everything else, sneakers or flip flops. The roundhouse is their slim fit but still baggier than the weird guy NF jeans. They’re not selvedge but still have held up better than the NF jeans. I like the dye color of the NF jeans but they faded too quickly and isn’t as contrasted in the fades

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 21:56:36 2023 No.17861665 >>17861515 They are both the same size but the roundhouse seem to run large. I purchased them about 5 years ago so I don’t know how they are today.

When I was younger I wore some chelsea boots I really liked. Not a big fan of chucka boots. Any recomendations?

Thank you I've heard great things about whites. Those cruiser 350 I really like remind me of the tradional linesmen boots kinda liking those and the kinda biker boots. Should I just Spurge the 600 and know they are for life?

Yes, make sure you get the right size, learn how to take care of leather boots, I'd recommend something like Venetian shoe cream or Saphir greasy leather cream, always clean before you condition them, and with high arch boots made entirely of leather you have to break it in by wearing it one hour the first day and double the amount of time you can wear them every day.
