What's the story on Rogans "aging" quickly?

[eastcoastrider27]

On the tag that comes with Rogans it says that they "age quickly." Is this just a euphemism for "will fall apart"?

I'm apprehensive about wearing them if they aren't going to last long. I don't want to have to be fearful my jeans are going to be ruined if I'm too rough on them.

Anyone have experience with the longevity of Rogans?

What precautions (if any) should I take to make sure they don't die on me?

I almost want to just get rid of them and get a more durable pair of jeans, but they are pretty damn comfortable.

i LOVE rogan, but i have to admit, the thread comes undone from the stitching of the end seams of the front pockets and the back pockets especially.

they seem to be having the same issues on some Loomstate washes too.

So it's the stitching that wears out and not the denim itself?

If that's the case, I would imagine that can be repaired.

yeah, it can definitely be repaired, BUT many times multiple places on the denim is the stitching coming undone. i have 9 pairs of rogans, and half of them have thread coming totally undone from part of the back pockets or the top of the front pockets where the denim is sewn to the pocket lining.

That's a little disconcerting.

Is it due to overwashing, or just general wear and tear.

It seems as though Rogan makes no qualms about this, which is kind of sucks.

I wonder if they even care about fixing the issue, or if it's just their M.O.

Fan of Rogan, they fell like khakis when your wearing them.

[eastcoastrider27]

^Yeah I know what you mean, they feel amazing.

With the trouser style cut, and the softness of the denim, it seems weird calling them jeans.

I've never had any problems at all with my Rogans and i dont take care of them so i really wouldn't worry at all bro... Clothes and alike are to be used and replaced so take the plastic off your sofa and kick back and chill...

The tag says that they are made to wear out quickly and repair is encouraged.

I believe what the people in Rogan want is for you to give your denim a distressed look to get an individualistic look.

dude, i've worn my rogans a lot for the past 6 months and have had NO problems w/ stitching or denim. The indigo is very colorfast but seems to be 'flaking' off at a few places. sweet orr seemed to think this is because the indigo was 'baked' on. I've washed them once w/ woolite as the tag recommends, but I think they could definitely take a machine wash, they aren't that delicate. After the wash, they are almost like they were new, not showing much wear at all.

Also on mine pair there is triple stitching at certain places, doesn't seem as if it will come undone for a while.

The "baked on" reference is the resin finish. It's when the denim is coated with resin and then baked in an oven. It does tend to make denim more brittle.

I'm on my 2nd pair with 8-9 months of everyday wear, no problems at all.

My first pair I wore for 2 years straight. if you hold them up to the light you can see through the seat. but no holes yet.

when the weather gettes better (no so damn hot) I'm going to start breaking in my APC anglais.

5 pair... oldest is 3 years

NEVER a problem EVER!

Don't know what the hell you all are talking about?

i have 4 pair....2 pairs i got years ago...ethanol and vapour...no problems whatsoever...if you wash them constantly and wear them everyday, you'll see some major wear, but realistically, all denim will reflect heavy washes and everyday wear...wear then wash them in the "delicate" cycle, and you'll be straight...

on a side note, the kutans will break down crazy fast cause they're left hand...so keep that in mind...

Just saw some totally destroyed Stasis jeans at fred Segals for 500$! they looked good though, had been 'repaired' with crossstitching over the holes w/ backing fabric.

They look good w/ age, you just might have to repair them a little if anything.
