The Evolution Of Your Denim Collection (Pre/Post SuFu)

[justinbaily21]

I was looking at them all today and I couldn't help but laugh. Here they are in order of purchase from 1999:

Nautica

Old Navy Carpenter

Old Navy Relaxed/Bootcut

Wal Mart Brand (does it even matter what the cut was?)

Old Navy Regular (This was near the beginning of high school and I wanted to get more dressed up, hence the regular cut)

Levi's (Can't tell the cut, but definitely from Wal Mart)

Lucky Brand (they were on sale down from 160-170 for 80 so I though, "What a deal!" Wow.)

*Have an empiphany and begin to think that there may be a difference in the quality of some denim brands...

Levi's 505 Black (I think I'm ballin' picking up a pair of jeans whose cut I knew before they were actually purchased. I find this fact a bit disturbing and am afraid that I am getting a little obsessive)

Sevens Bootcut, crazy distressed ("Wow, I'm stylish and enlightend. I have the best." Again... wow.)

*I think begin to look things up about them to find out how to best take care of them. I discover a website called "styleforum" with the text "Sevens" in a thread and look in to see what good things they are saying about them... :box:

Studio d'Artisan 103 cut with archs and tabs still intact (Sick)

Samurai 5000VX (Genisis 1 "And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.")

I'd also like to mention that in those years I have gone from a 34"-36" waist to a 32" (I'm about a 31 1/4"), and I have definitely not lost weight or anything. I must have been sizing up at least 6 sizes at one point... My jeans are done for some time, now I need to focus on finding some decent shirts for my build (broad at the shoulder, narrow at the hip) and a good pair of vintage Nike's to go with the Sams.

Haha.. damn those carpenter jeans were really a big trend weren't they? Glad I never hopped on that...

I didn't really have that EXTREME amount of change, but I did used to buy Old Navy and Gap jeans, also several sizes too big, like 4 inches too big and then wear them low, thats if I couldnt find any smaller sizes. I didnt seem to care. Im glad I found Japanese denim though, cause I can find my size, which is nice

[Ahlvahroe]

when i was a kid my dream was to own 1 pair of every brand of jeans in the world. now i know that this is not just unnecesary but also a bit stupid. it kinda seems like i had some of everything. levis, lee, bugle boy, arizona jeans company, anchor blue, ecko, outkast, calvin klein, guess, polo/polo jeans company, rustlers, mavi, paper denim, diesel, lucky, and a bunch of others. since finding this place i have retired everything and have gotten some nudies, samurais, and now imperials.

Pre

Levis 501 and a pair of Levi's bootcuts, I think. I wasn't a huge jeans guy, mostly Dickies work pants and the like.

Post

APC NS, Dior Raw Indigo 19cm. In 7 or 8 months I'm thinking I'll probably need another pair of straight legs / something looser than the Diors, so probably a pair of Raw Black Imperial Dukes.

[poly800rock]

too many fucking jeans.

word.

'fore:

levi's and levi's premium were the only jeans i paid for, really. had a pair of undistressed kratts i got from a friend in trade, and a pair of grey, broken twill gap jeans from the $5 clearance rack.

after:

broke the dry denim cherry with a pair of bootcut olas from blake. then, rrl slims from ebay, imperial dukes direct from INFO @ imperial, apc ns from mauro, somét blacks and 14.5oz indigos direct from manufacturer, jr nikkis from forum member Spencer... haven't bought jeans the "normal" way (you know, trying them on in a store before purchase ) in a long time!

[fade to black2]

weird, looking at SF hasn't changed my taste in jeans/clothes at all.

[fade to black2]

my general evolution of denim:

98-2001 - Phat Farm jeans

2001-2004 - G-Star, Levi's, Helmut Lang

2004-present - Dior Homme --> 45 RPM

probably done with jeans. Might buy a pair of unwashed denim every now and then but it's not gonna be as much of a staple in my wardrobe as it has been so far.
