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

[theetruscan]

Pre - Gucci, Energie, G-star, Paper Denim & Cloth, Earnest Sewn, 1921, Chip & Pepper in roughly that order.

Post - Kato, Sugar Cane, PBJ

Haven't been wearing any of the old ones, but once I fix the crotch on the C&Ps they'll probably be an occasional warm-weather jean. They're really thin.

[indigo_junkie]

Pre 2000 - Levis, Jordache, Jag, Just Jeans, Jeans West, Jay Jays, Wranglers, Kmart jeans.

2000-2005 - RM Williams 15oz moleskins (5 pairs)

2005-2006 - Diesel, Earnest Sewn, Nobody, Blue Blood, Levi STF, G-Star, Gap, RRL.

2006 to present - Eternal 868, SC 1955, SExIH, Imperial Duke, Nudie RRDS, Ande Whall Cougar, and Samurai 710 (on Monday, hopefully).

Hopeful future purchases (I blame SuFu, completely) - Skulls 5010, Eternal 811, SC (lots - love SC), PBJ 007 (getting the money together soon), SDA103.

highschool: old navy jeans bootcut... or straight leg and i used to cut a small 1 inch slit down at the hem to make it bootcut..

bought my first pair of sevens in 2002/3?

then to various "premium" jeans (ie citizen, paperndenim, chipnpepper, etc)

moved onto mainly Diesel's

started getting into more basics...Levis, Nudies, etc

now, Dior, Sling and Stones mostly, Skulls, etc

[Gilead]

I went from super baggy cheap jeans, to super tight girls cheap jeans (back before I found out about guys jeans companies that made slim cuts) to slightly less tight slim Raw denim.

pre sufu

sean john, ruff riders, jeans west, kmart, buss, levis, bum equipment, kenji urban

post sufu

edwin nashvilles, RRL bootcut, imperial kings, 45rpm suminadoes, 5ep resin straight

after loosing significant weight, cant really wear anything that i used to own besides the 5ep which are loose, but dont fall off me. it really hurts when you spend so much time on them, then they just wont fit anymore. but it doesnt hurt as much as replacing suits that wont fit anymore...

[nettiemoore]

pre: gap, levis, eddie bauer

post: 45 rpm, sugar cane, samurai

[pwnzj00]

lets see...

Most of these were good deals on ebay:

First... Jcrew -> Mavi -> Loomstate -> Edwin -> Evisu Oki-ni (thought i was REALLY ballin -> Levi 501 Limited Ed -> Lee Premium -> (sold them all at some consignment place) -> APC NS -> Sugarcane Okinawa -> in 1 month, Dior 19cm.

I didn't even wear jeans prior to 2 years ago...always wore khaki shorts or khakis. But come on, gotta have some balling jeans to go with those Futura P-Rods! (first pickup that i cherished then sold on ebay HA)

I didnt really buy all of them, the Nudie's and Tiger's I got for free... And I dont think sufu had a lot to do with what I have bought, other than the Hawaii's and I guess I wouldnt have bought another pair of 47's if it hadnt been for sufu...

[beatle]

I used to wear Levi's - prewashed - and Diesel ...

It all started out with my first Regular Ralf Dry Selvage - and - partly Diddles fault - these days I lust for japanese finest..Sugar Cane, Samurai and Eternal...

[Gem_art]

I'm going from when I moved to London 9 years ago, the only jeans of note I had from my youth were some red levis... I was lucky enough to wander into Interstate soon after I moved here so got into (loose fitting) Edwins early, cheers Roberto.

Pre: Carhartt Staff and Western Pants, Vintage-washed Edwin Waynesville, Edwin Sen S, Silas Classics.

Post: Carhartt Round-up, Allen and Slim Pants, Edwin ED77's in a few denims, Imperial Dukes, Skull 5010 6x6's, Tenderloin T Rider C's... Apart from the Tenderloins there's definitely a slimmer vibe going on now.
