Pre-high school:

Levi's (from K-Mart or similar), a pair of Wranglers. Just before high school, grandmother bought me a pair of Tommy jeans, since they were all the rage. Didn't like them, returned them and used the money for two pairs of Levi's.

High school:

Levi's (from Levi's stores), Bluenotes. Lots of shitty Bluenotes, heh.

Uni, pre-sufu:

Levi's count raises by one, Bluenotes are being slowly fazed out by H&M. Had a pair of Guess sandy-coloured things to try and "move away from just blue jeans". Dumb. Become interested in the darker denim at H&M, start looking for more raw stuff. Current girlfriend took me by Holt and I wanted APC's for the simplicity. Start googling to get info...

Uni, post-sufu:

...and I land here. APC, Dior, Julian Red, Filippa K, and a pair each of Levi's and H&M is what the collection looks like now. Did however keep a pair of Bluenotes only because I wore right through them, but defnitely can't go back to shit denim now; they're around just to look at.

growing up... jnco and "tommy hil" turned into polo sport and nautica for the skateboarding scene... wasn't too big on denim in high school, a few pairs of american eagle jeans and a pair of second hand diesels that fit like shit. fastforward 6 years...

pre-sufu: APC, nudie

post-sufu: skull, flat head, samurai (next)

never owned a pair of levi's in my life... weird. those polo sport jeans were the shit and bought at ross (or marshalls or some similar chain) for like $20 a piece.

i use to be a raging levi's premium fan back in 2000-2002, i thought the offender was one of the best cut jeans. I still have about 1/4 of my levi's and some have held up pretty well while others have been patched and taken out of rotation for fear of obsenity charges. Then around 2003-2004 i started wearing "high end" designers jeans with slim fits. The only pair thats lasted was a pair of vjc. Then about 2 years ago, nudies, evisu, capital e, dh and lvc. Found out about sufu this year and would really like a pair of The Flat Head pre-lawsuit but hard to come by! Still like rocking DH, Nudie, levi but i gotta say my skulls are one of my favorite pair of denimz i've ever owned and looking forward to getting more and more jap stuffz
