You know you're addicted...

[PeterParker]

it's always risky engaging a stranger in a conversation about their pants. i'll notice most people wearing raw denim but it will take something pretty amazing before i'll initiate a conversation, and even then it will start with "nice jeans". usually it's easy to tell who's been wearing naked and famous on weekends for two months, and who's been wearing flat head for a year. twice i've chatted to customers (i also work in retail), but on both occasions they've been keen to discuss denim.

i usually guess what denim it is; first time was lvc but they were sugar cane 1947's, which looked bangin. the second time i noticed the trademark denim and vintage fit. all i had to say was "warehouse, right?" and a nod of mutual respect was reciprocated.

spend long enough on a hobby and you can distinguish fellow hobbyists.

E-V-E-R-Ybody wears jeans BUT in 99% of the cases they dont fit right or just look like shit.

Most of the people dont even Pay attention to anything besides price.

[Maynard Friedman]

In the last couple of years I gave my brother-in-law 3 pairs of jeans that were a bit big for me

- Edwin Waynesville

- Edwin ED69 (Rainbow selvage)

- LVC 201

If someone from Sufu stopped him and started up a conversation about jeans, he would not be able to offer much back. I don't think he's even aware what selvage is.

Some people can acquire decent jeans unwittingly, so beware!

If Pam Anderson ( or whoever is Hot) stopped him and started up a conversation about her mother in law's socks I Bet your brother in law would try to make that superinteresting conversation as long as possible.

Vicarious, its not about What you say. Its about HOW u say it and your body language.

Your whole thing was nerdy at that particular time.

I know, you're right. I took the chance on her being an enthusiast and I was wrong. No big deal, just embarrassing.

Truth be told, I've only been 'serious' about denim for about a year. I still have much to learn. Maybe next time, I'll be the one on the other end of the conversation.

Anyway. You know you're addicted when certain numbers can only be about jeans for you - When I see 660, I think about Warehouse, when I see 710, Samurai, 811, Eternal . . . list goes on.

yeah...those pics also make me want to wear my zero denim jeans...*sigh* "

You know you're addicted when you sadly wish you could wear denim...that you already own!!! (but can't because there's too many in your current rotation)

It is a good thing, that you "only" need to wear Edwin or LVC to be on the safe side.

Funny how people will pay a lot more for True Religion or Seven or stuff like that, than what they would have to pay for a decent pair of Edwins.

And they still look retarded.

[jus schilling]

when you can hear mr. delivery man from blocks away, and can tell just based off the sound alone.. if its ups, usps, fedex, etc..

when your mind works like, "i could be putting in work in *insert pair* right now".. no matter how comfy you are in what you currently have on..

[thebrik]

when this excites you

I was smiling the whole time watching that

[denim-nimrod]

Where can I get the set for this?

[Guest INDIGO QUEEN]

when you pet them. And kiss them good night.

I definitely do that every night - and cant wait to put them on again in the morning!!!

[Howling]

I take my hands and rub them up and down my thighs admiring the hairs, texture and slubbiness of my denim. Then realize just how perverted this looks in public.

[bbcapone]

I'd rock some lego denim.

[BrownMetallic]

... when you feel the need to plan ahead & take photos of what you will be wearing for next season

2012 F/W Denim Rotation:

Samurai 5000ai-10sp + 710 Blue Shadow : Kapital Cisco : Momo 702 : IH 634S-B O/D

When you spot someone wearing turn-ups/cuffs with no selvedge and feel a sense of embarrassment/pity for them.

When you count the day's you wore them.

[erockisalive]

when you watch the walking dead and you think "oh shit, that guy just got guts on his jeans. sucks that he'll have to wash them now."

[ijustwishi]

when it's around 25 degrees outside and you have no heat or hot water, but instead of having them turned back on...you buy a pair of left fields. they're thick enough to keep me warm!

[Cold Summer]

I keep track of all my denim wearing in a Word document. I'd run out of space if I used the pockets.

[Max Power]

...when wearing raw denim has such a natural thing that you forget about how often you wore or washed your current pair. I can hardly enough remeber the month I started one pair (my tremor and liver damage is beacuase of an unrelated alcohol problem) and I am not scared of washing my jeans anymore (which improved my social status at least a little).

Sorry, I like you, but this is something about denim-wearing that needs to end. Wear your jeans, wash your jeans, and stop being bishes about it.

[xchen]

+1, also, can't stand people sexualizing denim (or other clothing), even if it's just a joke

Funnily enough, my sister is Pamela Anderson, but they're not getting along too well at the moment, so he probably wouldn't.

When you happen to see that the YEN is slightly decreasing in value and you get really excited.

then realize you are a horrible person and dont care.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I think the dropping Yen isn't that bad for Japan. Making Japanese goods more attractive to foreign countries and thus strengthen the economy.

IIRC, that also the plan of the new Japanese government

[bbcapone]

sorry "iirc"? if i recall correctly?

I know i would dump more money in japan if the yen was lower. thank god i wasnt into denim in the early 90s.

Ameyeright?
