Poll: Is it too hot for raw denim?

[viv1984viv]

hehe, uk is pretty hot at the mo, I dont know what makes a difference more, colour or fit, I find looser jeans cooler, but I think well faded ones dont transmit as much heat.

APC NS's are pretty hot for me tho, perhaps andywhall white rakers whould be good.

[viv1984viv]

and one more thing, perhaps this is just me thinking about jeans to much but is indigo heat sensitive??? I have a vague memory I read it was.

Does humidity affect indigo?

[tweeds]

minimally. being in the tropics seem to have little effect on my jeans.

[headtowall]

I've decided the limit is when it's 106 degrees and I could grab air, ball it up, and throw it.

[mizanation]

ugh. it's 100 degrees in new york city. i'm about to throw in the towel. gonna have to go with some crappy gap cargo shorts.

[UCD]

105 degrees in Davis, CA. today.

You certainly won't catch me in my 'Canes.

...Though maybe later this week I'll chance it.

yeah, as awesome looking and fitting your new pbjs are, they're probably one of the worst things you can wear in this humidity and being constantly surrounded by sheer number of people. tomorrow's supposed to be even hotter.

[Dangydang]

The heat and humidity has been hitting full force down in the DC region as well. I was sweating my ass off wearing just a white t and shorts. Jeans are supposed to be worn for comfort, which they definitely aren't when it gets this hot. Fuck the fades.

[Chicken]

actually, somehow my evisus are loose enough where i don't seem to boil to death, so i'm going with it right now.

[pacioli]

don't give up hope. I in NYC and it's hooot. I've been wearing my pbj's for several days now. Besides going to work/daily grind I also went hiking in them, picnic, park, long walks in the neighborhood...

can't wait til fall.

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

Walked out my house in some fresh soaked still wet samurai's this morning, black shirt, black shoes, black hat, and got myself a hot cup a coffee before taking three tains to work...it's all mental for me...just stay hydrated.

[mizanation]

temperature is now below 90 in nyc. time to put the jeans back on.

[hype_killz]

90 degrees in socal, i still skate in mine. get pretty sweaty though.

[Seething Tortoise]

It was around 36degrees (98deg F) in Brighton and London today.

Nudies were a no go.

I figure that 80degrees farenheit is about my limit for wearing jeans. Also, having a tanned upper body and pale legs looks silly.

I saw some moshers/metalheads/thrashheads/whatever you call them, wearing their full near goth gear in Brighton. That being said, they spent all their time in the shade.

[viv1984viv]

haha, did they spemd time in the shade to keep cool, or to stay pale??

[pacioli]

To prevent sweat from running on the makeup that make them look pale of course.

[keska]

it is too hot but ive got nothing else but raw denim, i gave all the other stuff away. =[

[Thecookieman]

Fashion over functionality!

[ranzchic]

Fuck, its been hot as hell here in San Diego, and humid to boot. I still wear my nudies, my first raw denim. And I wear them when I ride my bike everyday!! Good thing I have have this electric motor installed so its not as bad.

[M.O.A]

oh my god i have been wearing raw denim all summer. Im trying to get to sept 2nd until the first wash but i dont know if im gonna make it. I have been skating in my apc's a lot and i wear then anyways everyday but those things are straight up nasty as hell......might have to make it five months instead of six....we will see

[mizanation]
