Poll: Is it too hot for raw denim?

[mizanation]

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.

wow, you can find levi selvage in swap meets? fake or not, that's crazy.

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...

i really respect the "salarymen" in full suit and tie. that's dedication.

me too, last saturday, i had a formal party so i had to wear a suit, i thought i would die, don't remember sweating that much. and it wasn't that hot (compare to really hot days here).

i wore dry slim kims all through australian (brisbane) summer.

I was in NYC this weekend and I rolled through the city with my RRDS and Jean Shops on (not at the same time of course). It was getting pretty difficult. The subway is where the real trouble occurs. Damn it was humid as all get out down there! I would still wear my jeans, but my washing cycle would also have to be increased. My balls were sweatin.

it's never too hot where i am for denim, so no, and all year long.

Well, but it's rarely so hot that you can wear shorts, so yes for me

Hyvää kesää!

hmmm. perhaps i should move back to san fran just for the weather. i wonder where a perfect denim city is. definitely not tokyo or new york -- although you'll have access to great denim shops they get hot as balls during the summers.

seattle! great denim city. temperate weather all year round. multi-ethnic, progressively thinking population. only thing is that it rains a whole lot....

ive been skating about 3 hours a day here in florida in my ... one wash denims. id rather sweat than wear shorts. and i have whiskers showing after 2 1/2 weeks of wear. so jeans all summer for me, fuck shorts.

[Chicken]

okay, i finally gave up. it's just too muggy out there. i just switched back to my slightly baggy evisu today from my apc ns.

but it feels good.

[cheapmuthafukr]

im disapointed chicken. i mean, it is hot in ny, but if i can do it in fl then you can in ny.

I wore my Ironhearts two days ago in Sunny Southern California. I wear my 15oz Samurais at least 3-4 days a week.

[damnIam]

North Texas today 103.

Wearing new RRLs with the shelf folds still in them.

I work in an air conditioned office though.

Stepped out to smoke a killer a while ago and thought my legs were on fire.

[Chicken]

but mr. cheap, i have feathers!

[Kewan]

I work in a hot ass factory all day long but still rock my RRDS and now AW Rodeo's.

[superdupersang]

denim shorts?

i know ass skimers are hot on gilrs

but hows about denim for men that stops above the knee ?

i tells thee

its a trend waiting to blow up

[mizanation]

i've been rocking my SC47s in the hot weather. the areas behind the knees absorb a lot of sweat which i think shrinks that part down, making a nice tapering effect.

12.75oz (?) new standards in gorgeous cambodian heat makes for quick washes and little contrast. whoops.

[Chicken]

^ i don't think it's the weight of the denim as much as how tight the fit is. the fit on my ns makes it almost unbearable to stand around the subway platform while i wait for the train to come, after walking for eight blocks in the sun.

[tweeds]

weak-willed little fowling!

how heavy does heavy get, though? i know i'm very sensitive to the weight of the fabric i've got on me.

[__Nicholas]

I live in Central Florida, so its prettty damn hot with the raw denim, but usually I'll just deal with the heat and wear it anyways. But if its too intense then I'll go with the shorts.

[punyfig]

Still not too hot for denim here on the UK south coast. Getting used to it, more to the point. Anyway, found myself bitching about all these old people going round in the heat wearing suits and ties. Standing there in .jp jeans moaning that "Its too hot for suits" and they should "wear something light weight".

[Joe E Taleo]

After having walked around Baltimore today in 90 degree heat in my APC NS, I think I've made the decision that not only does it get too hot for raw denim, it gets too hot for any denim. Having said that, I'll still probably end up suffering to wear jeans.

[Chicken]

i'm telling you, the looser fit jeans are helping me out a lot here. it's amazing what a little air current can do to help a brother out. go more for 47s than 66s during the summer, a little bird says.

kind of like wearing a reg ralf rather than a slim jim?

which is why i'm waiting for context store to get back to me about their RRDG

edit: but seriously though, new standards are comfy in singapore. i guess i just have natural ventilation shafts running parallel to my blood vessels.

Mate, I'm out and about in the furnace that is the Northen Line today (work in Camden, north London) in my dry Sugar Cane 1947s! It's 29 degrees outside, so God knows what the temperature is on the Tube! But it's hot hot hot. And I'm loving it, because, man alive, there are sooooo many beautiful women out there!

[Circanineteen85]

it's kind of a day by day thing for me. most days i'll suffer through it but on a couple of the like 90% humidity days after a day of rain i'll wear shorts. i can handle the heat no problem its jsut the humidity that kills me
