Raw Denim Thread?

[IPT]

Apparently my 501's are shrink to fit so they're raw denim?  On Levi's site my 505's are listed as raw denim but not shrink to fit.

I'm not sure about the 505s but the 501 Shrink to Fits are raw denim. I was looking into getting those since they're within a comfortable price range for me. I didn't get them since I couldn't find any info/reviews on them (I didn't look too hard). Do you find the shrinking process to be difficult? I'm worried the length won't be right after I shrink a pair. And how to you go about shrinking them.

you're asking the wrong person haha. I didn't even know they were anything special.
I just knew they were annoying because of the button fly lol.

I just wash them as I wash my other jeans.  I did find them to get a little shorter as I wore them.  I personally don't wear them until i have no other jeans or something.  I guess it makes sense as they're the most faded jeans I own, very light blue color which i wouldn't have bought.  So i guess it does fade naturally based on washes.

I have a couple pairs of Naked and Famous jeans.  My friend lives in Montreal so I bugged him to take me shopping when I was there a while ago.  They're AWESOME.  And I've never had a pair of jeans that fits so nicely.  Thankfully they last seemingly forever so I won't (hopefully) spend as much money on them as I have on keyboards.  No guarantees though.

I bought some PBJ xx-007's and I am LOVING them.

My first pair of top tier japanese denim, really loving the amazing texture to these.

I've had a pair of APC NC, KZO indigo and black, and a pair of blackbird hazelwood jeans. All suffered massive crotch blowout before they could get amazing fades. Though the KZO indigo were by far the best fitting/looking jeans I've ever owned.

All I need is Levis 511.

That's like coming into the keyboard forum and saying all you need is a logitech chiclet keyboard.

Oh man - those look awesome. I tried on a pair of those.. or maybe it was the original Elephants, but I didn't think I could dedicate myself to breaking those in.

I'm currently looking for a pair of black/black or black/indigo denim - About to pull the trigger on some railcars (http://www.railcarfinegoods.com/Railcar_Fine_Goods_mens_Spikes_X026_p/rmjspikesx026.htm). Just missed the boat on some Noble Denim black/black raws  :mad:

If its a newer pair, it will.

I just have a couple of pairs of Levi 511's that are raw. I had a Pair of Nudie grim Tim's but I got too fat for them. They were barely used. Probably try and sell them soon.

Bump.

After ditching my 1.5 year old APC NS annumber of years back after they stopped buttoning to the top I finally decided to break in another pair of raws. Nothing fancy, Unbranded UB201. I forgot how stiff even lightweight raw denim is at first, but after the first week they're already feeling noticeably more comfortable. Just sucks it takes so long to get to the 1 year+ level of softness, my APCs are otherworldly comfortable, or were when they still fit

I have a collection of Pure Blue Japan pairs of jeans that are brand new and exclusives. I have a worn pair of PBJs, a worn pair of Unbranded 21 oz, and currently on day 122 (of 365) of consecutive wears for a 16.5 oz Tanuki NT pair and the fades are coming in really nice

will take a photo if anyone is interested
