You know you're addicted...

When you look at license plates and all you see is denim brand abbreviations and model numbers..

[simon626]

When someone calls you "materialistic' for dropping 3 bills on japanese denim and you get into a heated debate on how it's not materialistic and how spending the 3 bills is completely justified.

Happened to my friend.

I LOLed when i heard about it.

[Cdennis]

When you're only reading this thread because you're waiting anxiously for someone to reply to your fit pics on another thread.

[robbie]

when you're pissed off if someone tells you 'I really like the wash on your jeans, are those from the gap'?

or, when you have a canned response if people tell you that your gross for not washing your jeans very often.

[laxlife1234]

^Happens all the time to me...

I got a few more, True story--Wore my jeans to school under my school uniform, told one girl and now I am known as "that kid". Good thing it was last year, but every soo often I get teased.

When you see someone at work with a pair of jeans you think are raw, but really aren't and start following that person. But, yesterday I saw a dude with APC's on, was so damn tempted to start a conversation with him...

When you start stalking fellow wearers in the street to smoke out the brand they are wearing

When you start stalking fellow wearers in the street to smoke out the brand they are wearing

OR When you don't need to stalk fellow wearers in the street because you can tell at a glance

apc's don't tempt me. They're not thaaaaaat great.

[laxlife1234]

Yeah, but I have nevery seen raws at where I work, so I get excited if I see a pair... Now if I see some japanese denim, ill take pics hehe...

[simon626]

I see about 1 pair of japanese raws month and typically 2 pairs of usa selvedge a month. Mostly lvc

Im more into spotting some sick authentic fades. Ive only seen two and both belong to aquaintances of mine.

[Classics]

when you get offended if someone calls you dirty for wearing the same pair daily.

[D'eVils]

when you have had verizon for ten years. been dying for them to get the iphone. now that they finally have it you wont get it until you have washed your jeans for the first time inorder to keep the blackberry fade going.

[Originalji]

... when you dream at night about breaking into self edge just to look at jeans.

[blackmaged]

When you're going to write your writing seminar research paper on denim

[robbie]

When you compliment farmers on their chore coats, even though you know they'll just roll their eyes at you.

When you exclaim'Check out the Hige!' at the grocery store and proceed to stare at the honeycombs on the jeans of a geriatric old codger in Rustlers much to the shagrin of your wife/friends.

[laxlife1234]

^chagrin? And, I would love for someone to come in where I work and start up a conversation with me cause he saw I am wearing samurais . Another reason I am addicted.

[louisbosco]

when you go up to a random person just to chat because his wearing raw/japanese denim.

[slowbro]

when your manager tells you to wear black pants for work but you end up wearing samurai's s5000bk

[paulduke04]

... when u get a kick out of seeing raw, selvedge, vintage jawns on television. For example, on tonight's season premier of Justified (on F/X), there was what appeared to be a vintage-cut raw denim, with a huge single cuff showing nice bit of selvedge. The show is fairly entertaining but the consistent appearances of nice vintage fits make it soooo much more interesting to watch.

[kimhwan92]

... when you had a dream last night about becomming an owner of a business/store....just so you can buy and give your workers/employers pair of raw denims and make them wear it every day and explain them of the rules of raw denims... just so you can witness the gradual wears that will happen from various people of various age group of different genders...

[Megatron1505]

^ Just start a contest, that's what I did, ha ha.

[hamaien]

When your hand looks like this and you're excited rather than horrified

[eczerwonka]

When you wake up after having a horrible motorcycle accident and the EMTs want to cut your shirt and pants off and you go nuts and forbid them. No way were they going to cut up my 634s and RT DBL Indigo shirt. No. Way. They both held up better than I did.

[josh mullen]

Expand on that, please.

[eczerwonka]

Expand on that, please.

I just made a post with pics over at the ironheart uk forum.

Some dude in a truck turned left in front of three of us a few nights ago at bike week. Buddy nailed the truck I swerved and missed but highsided while 3rd buddy missed it all. 634s and Rogue Territory denim shirt saved me from some serious roadrash. When the EMTs woke me up they didn't want to risk moving me much so wanted to cut the denim off to check me out. I was awake enough, but stupid enough to not let them.

I'll definitely be saving for a new pair of 634s and another denim shirt. Saved my skin.

[An Oxymoron]

toasting in an epic bread

...when it's finals week and i have a headache, not from studying, but from staring at all the different jeans on BiG and reading sufu

[GupNasty]

man ironheart is really making a name for itself in regards to these emergency accident-related stories. i believe there was another guy who was stabbed while wearing some 634s...

Really, stabbed? And what did his jeans do in this situation?

[jbphoto23]

They got a ton of blood on them, and if I remember correctly paramedics cut them off of him.

[Megatron1505]

So he might as well have been wearing K Mart denim then.

[jasonfoote303]

No blood, but I always crack up when I get in the car and see this
