How many pairs of jeans do you own?

[HEWSINATOR]

jimmy it still aint enough to buy myself a shelby 500... hope this 14000 grand would balloon to maybe 25 ina couple of years hahaha

Did you really buy them as an investment? And I am sure this has been asked before Ed, but what do you do for a living where you can spend so much on jeans?

[dino might]

^construction or somethin.

[edmond]

yep dm is right im into construction/design/ consultation and female shoes/bags retail ( my fiance designs them )

[HEWSINATOR]

I work construction too. I guess you are not working a shovel though like me.

Like I asked before though, I am not trying to be condescending, but did you buy the jeans as an investment or to collect?

[rnrswitch]

To fill the void.

[ThyAllMighty]

Isn't like 3 all you need? Black, indigo and grey? Maybe a white or red pair if you're feeling extra saucy?

[edmond]

hey! yeah im quite depressed with life ( i think this should go ont he trash)

yeah just to collect and smell and touch the denims before i go to bed

seriously just a hobby nothing more

[Skeese]

ooo finger denimz ..

[jonathanschley]

actual denim, 3 APC, 2 Dior, and then two pair of APC black pants. that's the daily rotation.

[thislittlepiggy]

3: 811, s5000bk, and new standards

[Pandemonium]

i am simultaneously outraged, confused, and extremely depressed at the thought of someone owning 70 pairs of raw japanese jeans

congratulations to edmond for sucking the fun out of denimheadedness for everyone who's been exposed to his posts, and for waving a giant middle finger in the face of denim artisans who value simplicity, tradition, fine craftsmanship and wabi sabi

what the hell are you on about? edmond is the reason why samurai is still alive and kicking.

SEXI04 indigo

April77 grey colordrives

Pudel black coated

Considering raw black New Cures or 19cms, and destructo waywits are making me want Somets. Also want a pair of Cheap Mondays to beat up since my Aprils got fucked up the other night.

no such thing as raw black new cures. only new standard and petit standard.

[Vs Toto]

Really? Well that sucks I could have sworn I'd seen people wearing them. Oh well.

[jonathanschley]

Really? Well that sucks I could have sworn I'd seen people wearing them. Oh well.

try the petit standards. you'll like them. i normally wear new cures and got them, they fit awesome. slimmer than indigo petit standards.

[Paul T]

Time to put my hands up & admit my addiction...

Well worn: maybe 4 pair Lee Euro 101B, from no-wash to disgustingly dirty one-wash, plus a couple more semi-retired (and around four or five sold on this board).

LVC 1901, washed once

LVC 1947 501, washed twice

LVC 1901 Indigo Immortal

On the way

LVC 201 1922 & LVC 501 1947 ready for first wash

Just started:

LVC 1890 501, and a pair of 1955 501 ready to be soaked late summer

Knocking around: various orange tabs, STF, Carhartt carpenter pants, Levi's Red. I've also lost a couple of pairs jeans, including a 1937 501 LVC, and an early 60s origina 501 with lemon stitching...

Under the bed: Lee 101B, 501 1947, 1922 555 201, and a pair of too-small SC 40501.

Sold in the last year or so: 1873 natural indigo 501, two pairs 1933 501, 1966 502 original, 1970s little e 501.

[opethrapture]

^^ You have any pics of your collection Paul??

[rivet life]

i´ve got neraly 40 pairs, 35 are selvaege jeans. i´m more and more into wearing japanese denim only, rigid! i recommend Denime and Studio DÃrtisan, the SD-101, 15Oz is the best kind of denim you can get for that price. All time favourite is Levi´s 551ZXX!!

[pomata]

wow you guys have plenty...

I am rotating skulls and lvc 505 now..lvc 1947,1944 and edwins are resting in the closet

maybe my next pair will be dj501xx

[rivet life]

disadvantage is, NONE of my pants looks like they shold: worn for a long time and washed very rarely. sometimes and somehow it might be better to waer only a handfull. I´ve stopped buying now, to give those a chance, i have already. But my next will surely be a steam locomotive.......

[pomata]

yeah. I'm trying to buy not more than two in a year for that. I said I'm trying:)

[constant struggle]

My current jeans (besides mall jeans i never sold):

[the_state]

[braid]

I've tried to find a jean to rotate with my skull 5010's but alas, I have found none that I like as well.

Plan to put another 6 months in my skulls then move on to something else.

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Long time away, but back now: I don't have a warehouse. All the 10'000 rough denim items were stored in the little jeansmuseum in Zuerich, Switzerland, all still non comercial but openm to the public on request. I like collecting real rough vintage or raw denim rag items to give them an eternal life in a little denim heaven, they deserve

www.jeansmuseum.org, [email protected],

Swiss, where the hell do you keep 6500 pairs of jeans?! Do you own a warehouse?
