    • I never really noticed much difference between the jeans which i worn at home and the jeans which i worn at work.. In fact, I bought 2x pairs of CSF-46s, wore one pair for work and the other for home.. if you check the CSF thread, you'd be hard pressed to see which was which, the only giveaway being small spots of paint, surprisingly maybe... the pair i wore for home turned to rags long before the pair i wore for work   For 15yrs i would get up in the morning, pull on a pair of fancy Japanese jeans, drive to work, change into a different pair of equally fancy jeans, work in them for 10-12 hrs/day, change back into 'home' jeans and drive home, my evenings/weekends were either spent out in the woods, hiking, bike riding, wild camping and such.. always wearing fancy jeans, in all conditions, snow, horizontal rain.. no jeans have ever lasted me longer than 18mths, most were fked after a year.   When i first started taking this approach (i previously wore fancy jeans at home till they were semi-fked, then wore them to work) The UK had a really strong currency.. we were getting almost 2 dollars to the pound, a Euro was less than 70p, Japanese consumption tax was 5% and more importantly, the proxy services would declare a low value so a pair of fancy Japanese jeans was a cheap commodity here in the UK.. Unlike today, the value of our currency is fked and fancy jeans are very expensive.   I'm not saying i didn't enjoy watching my jeans wear and evolve but once i'd done it for 15yrs.. i wasn't really gaining anything from continually repeating the experience of just burning through jeans every 12mths (sometimes, i would buy them, wash them to get shrinkage out, wash again at the 6mth mark, wash again at 12mths and that was it.. they were fked) ..    I started cycling to work.. that alone destroyed a pair of CSF within a few months so i stopped cycling in jeans and i stopped wearing fancy jeans to work.. i'm currently wearing a pair of £35 vintage Carharrtt carpenters for work, which albeit vintage have already lasted 4 times longer than my £300 RMC.. I've been commuting on my bike in the same pair of trackpants for 4yrs.. the CSF lasted literally months before the arse fell through.   I can't really say 'i'm saving money' because i'll only blow it on some other crap but whether i'm spending that money on.. bike bits, music, food or whatevs, i'm enjoying those things a lot more than just destroying pair after pair of expensive denimz.

    • I absolutely agree! I work for a gas utility and my WildAss double front denim have some awesome fades. I can’t bring myself to wear expensive denim at work tho. Sadly because of this, my favorite jeans in my “collection” take forever to get any fades at all
