How many pairs of jeans do you own?

[Maynard Friedman]

Better buy them quickly @Alec Leamas, now your cover is blown!

[Alec Leamas]

😂I know, thanks @jkbrwn!

Though honestly it would be doing me a favour if someone else bought them! haha

Since there isn’t a dedicated thread about downsizing the collection, I’ll share here.

Over the past year, I sold a few items — among them my very first pair of Japanese jeans, from Samurai, as well as a pair from Iron Heart — both of which I’d long since outgrown.

There have been no new denim purchases, as I’m moving toward optimizing the collection. While years ago I was interested in trying out a variety of brands, I’ve now settled on a focus around just a few — primarily Full Count, Ooe Yofukuten, and Freewheelers.

hahaha... there should be enough there to see me through to the other side... but things don't always work out as 'intended' so I have license to act as the situation requires 😉

And a little update after more than a year.
The total number is roughly the same.
Moved the new Denime jeans (221 and 224), two pairs of Denime Original Line which were too small (66 and 66XX), the FC 0105, one pair of Resolute 711 and swapped the FW 47 against the 51 model.
Mainly added Sugar Cane jeans and Ooe.
