At last! a confessional thread! Moved into a new apartment so I was organizing my jeans the other day and I decided to take a family portrait. Now before you people think this is me bragging...trust me...it's not. I'm not at all proud of what I'm about to show you and I think this will serve as the first step to admitting I have a problem...

on average it takes about a year before I'm truly satisfied with a pair. That collection has been going on for about 6 years now so I really only have 5-6 pairs I'd consider truly worn in and "retired"

Ok as promised, here is the list:

There are 5 rows. Going from left to right in each row:

45 rpm Suminando Sorahikos (fall 2010 cut)

Samurai s003 (15 oz)

Samurai s0500 JX - LR

Real McCoy's 991

2nd Row:

Paul Smith Red Ear

*Nudies RR Veggie dye

Cloak Grey Selvage

Jean Shop Rockers (custom predistressed, I know I know...I wasn't a purist then)

Red Cloud r400

Omnigod Straight Tight 5P

Naked and Famous Japan Heritage Skinny Guy

Studio D Artisan 103

Momotaro 1005sp

3rd Row:

Edwin Sen (predistressed)

Eternal 811s (predistressed, from Celga? like 2006, these are actually quite natural looking, looking to get rid of this if anyone is interested)

*APC Hipsters

Iron Heart 666od

*5EP "boot cut" (my oldest pair of japanese jeans...sigh...special place in my heart)

*Jil Sander (pre-Raf Simon, selvage, made in Japan, gorgeous slubby denim, took a while to fade but has turned out nicely)

Dior MIJ distressed (Fall 2005? has hideous back pocket zippers but I kinda like them)

*Dior MIJ 19cm indigo raw

Dior MIJ 21cm black raw

4th Row:

*Sugarcane Okinawas

*RRL

*Howies (selvage, organic indigo -- one hell of a bitch to fade)

Pure Blue Japan 007 24oz

Pure Blue Japan 005

*Pure Blue Japan AI-001 (even harder bitch to fade, towel thrown in already)

Warehouse 660 (forgot the lot, the one where the sizes are crazy off)

Self Edge x Imperial 14

Bottom Row:

Eternal x BIG 811s

*Denime 66 (Orizzonti, paper patch)

*Julian Red Calis (what a shame these aren't popular here anymore, easily my BEST fitting jeans ever)

Levis

Levis (these two were bought at vintage stores. Some time ago I researched the details and I think they are from some time between the late 1970s to early 1980s)

LVC (I'm so embarrassed by these. Again, back in my predistressed-days I got these from somewhere on Rakuten back in 2005. The fading is hideous and now I realize it was such a shame that a perfectly good LVC pair was destroyed. Anybody want these?)

LVC (predistressed also but actually decent)

I also have a pair of Big Johns I bought when I was in Hong Kong in 2006 with a tag that is in all Japanese

I also have a mysterious pair of "Sunday" jeans that I got from Takashimaya when that store was still open in NYC. Absolutely gorgeous but I know nothing else about it.

Couldn't wait 6-8 weeks on one pair so yesterday went to TKMAXX sake and bought black skinny Cheap Monday reduced from £50 to £3.97

As I broke my New Years Resolution may now last on these 3 pairs until January 2014!!!

Washed first pair - color hard to fade but coming on nicely!
