Youre my hero. I just cant do it. My boys get too moist.

Thank god for one-wash, otherwise way too hot for pure raw denim here in HK. 31 degrees celsius but with the sticky humidity it feels like 40.

I wore my Straight Svens today for a few hours and went skating. Man I was hot. I hope they stretch out pretty soon too cuz right now theyre feeling a little tight around the thighs. Whatever they're sweet jeans, I love them and I know I'm gonna get a killer fade. Hopefully gonna wear em all day tomorrow through the NJ heat.

Heat don't hurt.

Raw all year.

i live in VA. It is 97 degrees, 90 percent humidity, and there is no wind. I'm still wearing raw denim, but i admit that i have a preference for my more lightweight APC's and Nudie's instead of my Canes and PRPS.

im wearing my okinawas in 90 degree weather in okinawa. in no way will i delay the 6 month plan. not even the weather will stop me. hoorah!!!

[startmeup]

shit...im happy i aint in dc right now. what part of va, watchman? whenever its unbearably hot out, i wear all white. if i wanna wear shorts, ill wear shorts. but if i plan to wear jeans...than ill wear jeans

i've been thinking about buying a heavy-duty japanese denim, like oni, samurai or pure blue kind of thing, but now is definitely not the time in nyc.

played some ping pong at my friend's house today in my apc ns, and that already felt a bit iffy already. time to stay inside in air-conditioned places.

[startmeup]

maybe ill see you at blue in green, chicken :-)

[watchman]

startmeup-

i'm in arlington, right outside of DC. I actually just got back from vacation in seattle and it is brutal to come back from the 70 degree weather there. I mean, there is no place like home, but thank god for air conditioning.

[startmeup]

^^^you skate at powhatan...wilson blvd skatepark?

[chipopo]

I just can't wear raw denim with the weather we get here (Over 30 celsius and 90% humidity). I do wear one wash SC47s though.

I think the starch blocks all the airflow in raw jeans...

It was 90 something one day in Seattle last week!

good time for shorts, but raw denim all the way. nudies are a good choice for summer, they are nice and thin compared to my APC NS. but im in san francisco for the summer this year so the heat doesnt really bother me. =) i live on the south side of frisco, so i barely see the sun anymore - DAMN FOG! but while in san diego for the weekend it was quite hot and i wished i had my slim jims on; but sometimes you got to take the heat like a champ.

-later days.

[guffer]

i rocked my APC all round london yesterday. mad shopping trip and mad pick ups and mad sweat on my denim.

that sounds pretty mad

[Seething Tortoise]

As soon as I'm done wth my Svenska, I'm moving onto Canes, but I'll be getting shorts for those toasty days.

[mizanation]

let's what i'm saying, not to mention it's triple out here and, it's not healthy for your balls, shit i want kids still and lots of them.....

and i'm gonna teach them to wear raw jeans, so thru the process of growing up, i'll collect all the jeans they wear, and have my own denim archive....ha ha ha ha ha, the next thing is find my self a GF willing to bear like 12 kids

6MT, you are a crazy, crazy dude. but, your shit always makes sense in a weird way. if you have 12 kids, you could theoretically break in 12 pairs at one time.

whatup red, have you seen anyone else wear okinawas in okinawa? has anyone stopped or noticed you?

[ten100switch]

right now I'm in south florida and over the last three days I've moved three people in to new houses (aparently this is the perfect weel to move) anyways my beater pair of cures are gonna have to air out in the garage for a while because of that

[metalmike818]

it is way too hot for these APCs.. does anybody know of some lightweight denims out there?

[6MT]

thank you sir.

Here in FL, I can only tolerate wearing jeans now at night and even that is a little tough.

During the winter, it's much easier but FL is just too damn hot to be wearing jeans every day.

[Ahlvahroe]

17 oz, check

95 degrees, check

heavy balls sweat, check

I am toughing it so far.

[Tito]

i cant even wear baggyass white linen pants in the new york city humidity so denim is not even an alternative... seriously thinking about organizing a streaking club across fifth avenue if the police will let me :/

[red]

whatup red, have you seen anyone else wear okinawas in okinawa? has anyone stopped or noticed you?

surprisingly no. im sure japanese are just too courteous to "rubber neck." haha. but ive seen plenty selvege. not okinawas, but levis. im starting to think that alot of the ones in the swap meets are fake.

[Kasper]

i'm in Tokyo this summer, 30-35+ weather with 90+ % humidity, there's is no way in hell i will rock jeans. i'm often close to the point of passing out (seriously) wearing shorts and t-shirts so wearing jeans would be suicide (Canadians are not made for that kind of weather). i see plenty of people doing it though, i really respect those...
