Raw denim in summer....who is dedicated enough to tough it out???

[damnIam]

Just wondering if there is anyone out there from the south that would wear raw denim in the summer. I have one project that won't be done before it get hotter than shit down here and I would like to think they would be perfect by next winter but...I don't know if I have what it takes?

[danzarrella]

I've got my sd103's pretty heavy denim for winter/early spring.

and then i'll switch to my duckdigger 1900s which are muuch ligher for the summer.

I tried over the Summer here in Cali and damn I couldnt go 2 weeks without washing em. I guess I will just starching the hell out of my jeans every few days.

id do it, and im in florida. but i grew up skating all day long in hevy ass jeans all summer long near tampa, so heat doesnt bother me

denim is the new crack

[Guest Berget__]

I definatly do it. Even though Sweden isnt the hottest country on earth our summers can still be pretty warm.

I aint gotta get money man money get me

[witts]

i wore raw denim all last summer . why not this summer?!

SUPERJUNKIE

[horriblyjollyjinx]

The weather in the UK and in Sweden is not comparable to that in the southern parts of the US.

I hated going outside in New Orleans last summer. I believe the temperature was over 40*C most days.

I wouldn't wear jeans in that weather, but I will be wearing my jeans in the Swedish summer.

dontcaretoomuchforcrap CANT SKATE!!

I wore a pair of Evisu for almost every day in 6 weeks in Cambodia, Thailand and Laos... They get a little nasty on the inside but you get used to it. I think the only bad part is putting them on just after you showered.... yuck.

could not agree more....the after shower thing is tough to get around.

[wild_whiskey]

Of course! It's been years since I haven't worn raw denim all year long. California, and especially San Diego, is never very humid however, so it's a lot different than you cats in florida.

[Geowu]

I'm in Brazil and I wear denim through every summer too (except at the beach). The humidity is 90% (don't know what that means but it's very humid).

Don't change, don't wash. No mucky feeling

[PG2G]

Just add another pair or two to your rotation. No need to wear the same pair everyday.

[zaha]

I'm debating about the same thing right now. I live in Texas, and it will hit +100*F easy in the summer. I don't want to abandon my dry jeans, but I might have to bust out the shorts for a good portion of this summer.

[shoreman1782]

Simple solution: dry selvage jorts.

its a bit hotter in the US....

wanted - spruce/w&h - pm me if you are selling...

[headtowall]

jorts! i back these 100%

[cheapmuthafukr]

man... i just cant wear shorts unless im swimming... altho ive heard that stf are good for swimming since they shrink in the water, and conform to your body.... so i dont even see a reason for shorts...

my shins are fucked from skating tho... maybe thats why i cant stand em, my shits ugly

denim is the new crack

[lyingonyourdriveway]

yeah, i skated all through my childhood outside of tampa and there was no way i would ever fucking wear shorts. I felt so vulnerable, i banged the shit out of my shins enough, i had shin guards on and still had to get stitches on my right shin

anyways, it shouldnt be too bad, AIR THEM OUT!!!! if you air them out after every wear i cant imagine them getting that bad.

I wore raw last summer and it was fucking hot and humid in september, very humid

btw the humidity percentage is a measure of how saturated the air is with water vapour. 100% humidity means that the air cannot hold anymore water

[cheapmuthafukr]

jsut wondering loyd, where outside of tampa? im from bradenton

denim is the new crack

[lyingonyourdriveway]

i used to live in valrico

as well as a little farther away in plant city

[pokpok]

i will probably wear raw denim in the summer..maybe after a few days... flip the jeans inside out and leave it out in the sun to get rid of the smell...

[nairb49]

geowu- you born and raised in brazil?

how hot does it get down there? i naively and ignorantly assumed it was always so hot that jeans/long pants weren't very popular at all...

[et negative five]

[Geowu]

nairb49, born in UK but lived my life in BR. in summer, 35 to 45°C.

mmmm... plant city. i was born in lakeland.

anyways I live in florida again and wear raw jeans during the summer, I probably wouldn't wear them if i was going to be running around or some shit.

[Guest The Diplomatic Aristocrat]

I would. I'd need to febreeze the jeans every once in a while though.

[Guest Fade to Black]

I wore raw jeans all last summer when I was in Hong Kong...I think it rarely gets hotter than that. To give you an idea of how hot it is in HK during the peak summer months, basically you can die just from being outside.

[Serge d Nimes]

I have skinny ass legs, so I won't be caught dead in shorts even when it is 107+. I used to live in Fresno and wear dry denim in 110+ heat! OUCH!

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

[eastcoastrider27]

What is it about jeans that makes them so much better for skating in?

I think it's a mental thing. It's not like it hurts any less when your board hits your shin if you're wearing jeans.

Anyway, I've been wearing jeans in the summer my whole life. The only time I wear shorts is when I swim or run.

And it gets mad humid where I'm at in the summer.
