How many pairs of jeans do you own?


Recommended Posts

My collection thus far:

Self Edge X Iron Heart 633s

Real Japan Blues 105BSP

Warehouse 1001

The Strike Gold 2105

The Real McCoy's 991

Self Edge X Dry Bones DB19

The Flat Head 2111

Momotaro 1705

Rogue Territory Stanton

Left Field Greasers

 

I think I'm going to add one of these next, I just can't decide which!  Maybe someone can sway me towards one:

Pure Blue Japan XX-009 or XX-007

Samurai 710XX

Fullcount 1108XX or 1109XX

What do you think of the 633s IHxSE? I just tried them on at SENY the other day and dug em, thinking about making them my next pair.

Currently got:

 

Oni 527 (Main pair the past 8 months)

Raleigh Nash Cut (going back to once the Oni's are getting a little too hot)

That's about it for what I wear denim wise, though I still have a pair of John Varvatos Bowery Tuxedo stripes and Earnest Sewn Fultons that are collecting dust. 

Next for my collection will be either the IHSE 633s (as I mentioned above) or, if I get to start wearing black pants at work, Samurai 710 Black Hawks

I have the 633s, along with IH 634s, 3Sixteen+ 21BSP, and Self Edge/Dry Bones.  The 633s 20 oz. denim is unique -- very strong, stiff (in a nice way), and durable, with superb color with gray weft yarn -- a deep, dark indigo overall.

 

As much as I like the denim, the rise is a little lower than I expected ('mid-rise' at best) and the hips are a little wider.  I'll probably keep them, but the 3Sixteen's and Dry Bones fit (me) better.

I really dig them, the fabric is interesting and has a nice dark indigo / grey hue.

After the soak they were like cardboard but with a couple weeks of wear they softened up very quickly.

The cut is good, mine are currently getting hemmed which will make them even better.

I don't think they'll get much wear soon as summer is just about here but next fall no question about it.

1. Naked and Famous Vintage Dungaree - 9.5 oz. (good for lounging around and the hot weather)

2. Raleigh Denim Wilson Cone Canvas White/Grey - 10.5 oz. (kinda fancy looiking)

3. Momotaro Blue Owl Silk BOM004 - 13 oz. (great for cold weather)

4. Full Count 1109 - 13.75 oz. (new, will be my go-to daily wear)

5. Pure Blue Japan XX-012 Indigo/Indigo - 14 oz. (daily wearers during the winter)

6. Oni 512XX - 16.5 oz. (my favorite fabric of the lot, but their skinniness is only appropriate for certain occasions)

I own about 30 pairs, but I am not good at tossing my jeans in the bin especially if they are raw (selvedge) and i've worn them to shit. I keep them for the occasional wear.

 

How many of you guys wear jeans every day (if the weather provides for denim wear)?

For about the past 2-3 years I've been able to wear denim whenever I want, which is basically anytime I leave the house.  There is something about lounging around the house in jeans that just does not appeal to me, so I wear shorts or sweats for that.  I'm coming up on another one of those transitions points in life.  I'll be moving back to the states soon, so who knows what the future holds.  Whatever it is, there will be lots of denim involved I'm sure.  I own about 6 pairs and rotate through three of them during these hot summer weeks in Brussels.  A pair of MBB, Pace Px05 and a pair of Unbranded 106 which I would not recommend to anyone.

Haha I do it even when the weather doesn't permit. I walked around DC earlier this summer wearing 23oz, and I do not regret it.

Samurai S710XX (great, conforming fit)

Fullcount 1108XX (nice high rise, trim in thighs)

Roy KS1001 Kinda Special (flattering fit, trim, versatile)

Roy KS1002 Kinda Special (same fit, heavier denim)

Dry Bones/Self Edge/Superfuture collaboration (nice detailing, e.g., pocket bags)

3 Sixteen+ 21BSP (interesting denim, back rise low relative to front)

Iron Heart 634S

Iron Heart 633S (dark indigo/grey denim)

Iron Heart 1955-UHR (high rise, lots of hip and leg room)

 

For a guy who's bought many Levi 550's at JC Penney, that's a lot of jeans.  But I (we?) wlll not be deterred in the quest for the perfect fit ;-)

only seven pairs for now

Margiela S/S '12 (they are sanforized rinsed and do fade well, i guess they count?)

LVC 501xx 1933 my first pair of 'real' raw selvedge denim. very loose because of the bloody LVC tag advice, but i grew to love them as pyjamas!

PBJxPRO DEC12  or XX-012, amazing denim, though the waist stretched a ton and i need belt with them always. still, amazing denim.

Red Cloud R400 very underrated brand. the denim on this and the detailing is second to none!

LVC 501xx 1947 I always wanted this for the longest of times since i was a mere teenager. 10+ years later the wish came true, but sadly after handling a few other high end pairs the '47 didn't feel as 'premium' as they would have been if they were my first pair. 

PBJ NC-013BK black jeans that don't fade? that means white collar work pants! 

Artist Denim SC40500, hey SC40500 denim for mere $130? what's to lose? and the denim's amazing, artist denim construction and detailings are fine as well. 

 

i have so many wish list on the horizon, just that other clothing items benefits my sartorial life more at the moment. 

 

and of course I do wear 17oz in 30 celcius heat of Bangkok. a lot of people here rock 25oz everyday. so, i'm just the norm here. you lot in the northern hemisphere, take note!

Samurai S5000BK

Sugarcane SC40600 - the hand woven ones

It has been nearly a year and my collection changed a lot (in my opinion)

I sold a good bunch of denim (9 pairs) but also bought many new pairs (11 pairs). So I am nearly even...  :rolleyes:

I marked the sold pairs red and the new pairs green. The black ones are unchanged.

Currently 22. Too lazy to write the list and I might be moving a few on soon anyway. The 2 I'm trying to wear as my daily jeans right now are the newly acquired ROY's. RS04 and KS1002. 

 

Edit: Apparently too sleepy to spell correctly. Moral: Don't post before waking up properly.
