Recently pick this bowling inspired shoes from Radiance Blue Shanghai, it's collaboration effort between Hsin Wei (founder of RB) & Rock Yeh (shoemaker behind Feit, visvim, etc). Very unique choice of leather (kangaroo) & shape, excited to see how it evolves...

Denime/Cushman/TCB/Whites I pulled my pair of TCB 50s out for the first time in a while and remembered how much I like the texture that these get as they fade they’re an interesting faded contrast to the new Denime denim too which gets a lot more electric blue in the higher wear regions

Damn!.. am i really this transparent?

I’m with 00 on this one, although I’m not sure how serious he was being There aren’t all that many “rules” that I consistently follow when dressing myself, but not mixing black & blue denim is one of them

Anybody looking for a wide silhouette, Phigvel has a pair of black denim.

I'd say about the same as Converse, maybe half a size smaller. I haven't worn any 70s in a few years, but the last pair I had were 11.5 and the TWC sneakers are size 12. For what it's worth I prefer the fit and feel of the TW sneakers.

Don't listen to him @aho.. this is either a bot-post, a complete and utter mental breakdown or a hideous dream he's just awoken from. Just remember one very simple rule.. Never, ever, ever.. wear black jeans with a blue denim jacket.. ever!! Florals and stripes would be a lesser crime against fashion

The side-eye from the pup is too good

It’s on the steeper side but just want to point out if you missed it that OA is releasing a black pair with S+S. Their’s is a black / white weft. That’s the biggest difference with black denim is it’s more common to see black / black, but they do fade differently than the black / white. I think I tend to prefer the faded black/white examples I’ve seen a bit better, but haven’t done that myself (yet). I’ve hoarded a few black pairs over the years (TCB, FW, SC, FullCount) - out of these I like the sugar cane and the Freewheelers RB the best but they’re all basically unworn so take it for what it’s worth. I don’t really find black jeans harder to fade than indigo. Just like some indigo is quicker than others, same with black sulphur dyes. I also don’t really find them less versatile, but I guess that sort of depends on the person and what else they like to wear. If I’m not wearing a denim jacket I like a lot of neutral or monochrome tops most of the time - greys, beiges, whites, blacks. Black jeans go with that stuff - just maybe not so amazingly with blue denim, but I’ve seen it work too depending on the stage of wear. Sort of a less recommended brand here but Indigofera’s gunpowder denim I like and is more easily available.

I'm late to catching up here, but the answer is: Yes, sort of. I was an older elementary school aged kid in the late 90s when I started using the internet but it was mostly to download new levels and mods for computer games I enjoyed. In the early 2000s, I'd say 2001-2005 or so, I started branching out into other interests like music/playing guitar, Japan interests, and a whole lot more video game-related stuff, and internet access was integral to all of that. I didn't know anything about fashion at the time, or think to look online for style-based communities, until I discovered raw denim in late 2009 and came across the MyNudies forum, and later SuFu. As an early adopter (well, relatively speaking) internet user, I perceived it entirely as a tool for engaging in nerdery. It felt like everything I was using it for was well outside of the mainstream, and it didn't seem to me that internet use would ever be universal or mainstream, besides ordering things online; the rise of social media was a bit hard to see coming. It was very much relegated to sitting at home in front of the computer, when I was out and about I barely thought about it. Heck, I hardly even used a cell phone in those days, basically just using it for emergency contacts, and despising texting. I did like using the computer for instant messaging with friends, particularly online friends with shared interests, and this is one aspect that feels long gone to me now.

^ looks fine to me. Tender x3. This was a favorite fit from a few years ago, still is, really.

Any drink works with that view, just about!!

I have a difficult time wearing black jeans for whatever reason, I'm sure it's just mental but I can't seem to get past it. I did stop into SE yesterday and I saw the black Boncoura painters pants and the five pocket jeans, those both have a really interesting color / hue to them. If the painters pants didn't have a zipper fly I'd probably give them a shot.

Nope - I’ve seen it fly when the jacket both are pretty beat to hell. Not my favorite but in the realm of the doable there is much worse out there. Much better than loafers and jeans, for example 😇 And @aho yeah I did.

Very nice, i really want to get a pair of the hightops. I saw you got them 2 years ago how did they last?

The black/white Fullcount 0105BK are my favorite jeans at the moment. The fabric has a great drape and the fit is nice and roomy. I like them even better than my indigo Fullcount 0105. I also have a pair of black/black TCB S40s. I found the deep black of black/black fabric to be surprisingly less versatile than the dark gray-ish of black/white fabric. I also prefer the more subtle fades of black/white.

I used to not really care for black warp/white weft jeans but I've come to appreciate it as an alternative to black warp/black jeans when I want a black outfit but not be too monochrome. There have been a lot of great options for black warp/white weft popping up lately....I personally went with the Boncoura version which I thought looked closer to black than silver/gray. For all black fabrics, I have a few favorites for different fits....currently I really like the wide leg RS fit from 3sixteen. it's def a modern wide leg but I think it's really easy to wear and drapes nicely. The sugar cane 1947 black fit is a classic straight that I've had multiples of and I also wear my Stevenson Encinitas black jean when I want a slimmer look. I agree with reallypeacedoff that the samurai BK fabric is really good too.

What type of black are we talking about @aho? I have a pair of Nudie Steady Eddie II in Black Selvage and Sugar Cane 1947 Black/Black (from SE) and both are black as black. Good for those days you wanna go monochrome or make some color pop. Plus who doesn't look good in black jeans? If you are looking for more of a white weft black jean, I have the Samurai S710XX-BK. I would say these take the cake as far as feel. I cut some Sugar Cane SC42460 from Bears into jorts and they are kinda a hyrbid of the above. Both sides are dyed black but the black looks more like what indigo jeans look like. More grayish but still dark.

If unsanforized is must, then I think TCB is the most stable - released one. They make it in a different cut each year. FW and FC also have them once in a while, not sure about how often. trying to state the obvious here but I find black jeans much harder to fade than indigo. That is because black jeans (mostly when they’re fresh but also worn) are much less versatile than indigo. to me, a pair of faded black jeans was something I really hoped for but than when I finally got it I found out it wasn’t really worth it.

Through a second proper wash. They're doing what jeans do. I was surprised when people initially said these were fast faders. I certainly haven't experienced that. Interesting to see how that opinion has shifted. I'd put them in the neither fast nor slow, but just normal jeans in that regard. In fact, that's what I love about this pair so much. It's just a standard, no frills '50s straight that I oversized for fit. They're fading that way too. We're about to head out to Vegas, Zion, Grand Canyon, Route 66 and back to Vegas on a motorcycle trip next week. Should be fun to see how the road wear through the desert affects them. For now, here's some post-wash photos in the best light I've been able to get lately, admittedly not good. Haha.
