Only thing that comes to my mind are the LVC "Blue Blood" jeans... 501's i think...theyre not waxed...but theyve got a waxed look to them.

This post may not really relate directly to the point of this thread...but ive developed a system for working in my new raw denim which seems to work nicely for me....and here it is...in its entirety:

1) Fill a clean bathtub about 1/4 of the way with very warm water (not boiling hot)

2) Submerge raw jeans flat into water and soak for 15-20 minutes (this will bleed some of the dye without causing crease lines in unwanted places as you sometimes get with machine washing new raw denim)

3) Remove the soaked jeans from the tub and hang them up with a clip clothes hanger until they stop dripping water from the bottom leg openings.

4) Put the jeans on while theyre still wet and let them dry on your legs (works best outdoors on a warm sunny day)...be sure to have a backup pair of underwear nearby or go commando if you like to live dangerously ...Now if you want to create natural "hige" (the creases behind the knee area and on the crotch) try squating or bending your knees down and up every few minutes while the denim is drying.

5) Once the jeans have fully dried on you, take them off and place them on a hanger to air dry.

This technique can be repeated up to three times with raw denim. Plus, theyll encourage shrinking without significant lose in colour that happens with machine washing...and the natural creases will make them look like they were made just for you!...now go out and get dirty!

...good luck, and enjoy!

Any type of higher end Levi's raw denim is good as a starter. The most important stage of breaking in raw denim (if thats your plan) is the first initial few washings. If you want the jean to form fit specifically to your body try doing the old "5 steps to great Looking Denim":

1) Fill a clean bathtub about 1/4 of the way with very warm water (not boiling hot)

2) Submerge raw jeans flat into water and soak for 15-20 minutes (this will bleed some of the dye without causing crease lines in unwanted places as you sometimes get with machine washing new raw denim)

3) Remove the soaked jeans from the tub and hang them up with a clip clothes hanger until they stop dripping from the bottom.

4) Put the jeans on while theyre still wet and let them dry on your body (works best outdoors on a warm sunny day)...be sure to have a backup pair of underwear nearby ...Now if you want to create natural "hige" (the creases behind the knee area and on the crotch) try bending your knees down and up every few minutes while the denim is drying.

5) Once the jeans have fully dried on you, take them off and place them on a hanger to air dry.

This technique can be repeated up to three times with raw denim and will make your jeans shrink without losing alot of the original color....and the natural creases will make them look like they were made just for you!

...good luck, and enjoy!
