Hey poly, what size are you :P

I'm just working on my Kicking Mule right now. Then, probably around September I'll start putting work in on my AI-001. I don't intend to buy another pair of jeans until I go on a vacation, which will likely be to either NYC or Japan. Not huge on ordering things sight unseen (even tho it turned out all right this time)

Currently my 551zxx are comming along nicely.

On deck:

Edwin Nashville (2 pair) a size apart for a snug fit and a looser fit

RRL slimfits (not the lowrise ones)

Canes 47

LVC 55s

I wear them all though but my 551s are the my regulars and get the nastiest.

Currently on rotation...

1. Old blue-black 45rpm Sorohikos

2. Raw selvedge Jean Shops

3. Rag & Bone RB8s

Even though I've had all three over a year, it seems like they are just now starting to crease, honeycomb, and whisker.

Wishlist: Eternal 811s; those Kohozo's are looking nice too...

In rotation:

1)5EP

2)Sugarcane Okinawa (but on hold for the summer months, it is way too hot and humid in NYC for such thick and slubby denim)

On deck:

1)Julien Red Calis

2)Jil Sander Selvage

3)Denime XX

Problem cases:

1)Paul Smith Red Ear

2)Nudies RR veggie greycast

Even with substantial wear, these two are stubbornly resistant to fading. The Paul Smiths I havent given up on yet, just not sure what to do with them. The Nudies have been in rotation from June of last year to about Nov of last year (exclusively for the first 3 months) and they have the slightest of fades on them. No more organic dyes for me ever again.

In addition to the ones I have on deck, I have some that I do not want to fade because I like their shiny and stiff raw look:

1)Dior black

2)APC New Standards

So I wear these occassionally only when I want that look.

Interesting. I was wondering about something like this. These are designer jeans that look good with dress shirts and shoes. For example, I can wear them to meet my clients when they're clean and new looking, but it definitely becomes a little strange and less formal when they're beaten down with fades. Makes me wonder if I should have one shiny new pair on my deck.

I keep my APC New Standards and some raw black helmut langs around for the same reason.

I've got my sugarcane 47's and Oni Blues in a Tag Team mid-day switch off rotation.

last night i tried to add a pair of RRL low rise bootcuts to the on deck circle via ebay, but some jackhole bid them up to $76+ dollars.

dick.

(yes, this would've broken my "no more denim" commitment. frankly, i'd break that promise for $30, but not for $80...)

Heavy Rotation:

RRDS 7 mos- getting good

Iron Army Hiro Ito Raw 2 weeks- love these. cut, feel, style great and breaking in fast.

Light Rotation:

SJDB 4 mos- like these too, but the IAs have taken their place

Bootcut Ola Dry 9 mos- good lightweight jean for summer but I bought em one size big

Crate James IV

Earnest Sewn Fulton Line Dry Selvage 6 mos- good for a less rocknroll look, but will soon be replaced by:

Pure Blue Japan XX 005s- can't wait!
