I own a whole lot of Japanese and American/Canadian brands too. Iron heart BY FAR is the most comfy, best constructed, best fading and most robust pair I own. They’re expensive, but certainly worth the hype, they just feel like nothing else.
Your videos gotta some of the most informational videos I've watched that just get straight to the point and are still entertaining to watch. 👏🏼 Hell yeah!
I like loose and relaxed fit jeans, and like them coming down over my boots. Waaayyyy past the point in my life where I dress to impress anyone other than myself. Ill take comfort all day long
Totally agree, relaxed tapered or even straight tapered(which shouldnt be a thing at all but it is) , are the way to go. They still follow your leg line nicely but they have extra room. Specially if you have strong legs, they do compliment your physique the right way rathen than looking like a sausage. I do understand that some guys need to wear slim jeans cause the way have very thin legs, but nobody ahould ever wear skinny. You might think you look good, but you dont.
I'm 5'10" weigh 220 lb. Workout 5 sometimes 6 times a week. Slim straight lee's have been perfect for my Thursdays captains. I'll probably go with a good straight pair for my bulkier timberlands.
Thank you! Levi’s in a dark wash in a 502, 511, or 512 look great with a sport coat. Why are people paying 400.00 for a pair of jeans they say are dressier? 511 jeans last me 6 or 7 years for 60 bucks. I don’t get paying 400 for Japanese denim … any thoughts? I have the money to buy them but I don’t see the value in doing it. Thank you.
Currently breaking in a pair of IH 777 19 oz LHTs. I recommend wearing polyester/spandex underwear during break-in of Iron Heart jeans. If you wear cotton underwear, in 2-3 days you will most likely have 2 read lines on your butt from the stitching (speaking from experience). Swapping underwear was a game changer. Props to the guys who are able to break in 21-25 oz denim....Not sure I could do it after my experience so far.
While I do agree buying straight leg cut jeans for men over 30 the only thing is every time I buy Levi's 501's I take them to my seamstress to get them tapered. C'mon guys. You have to show off those beautiful boots! It irks me a little bit when I see guys with quality boots half covered by a wide leg opening jeans. And Levi's jeans are pretty cheap too.
Wondering who is coming up with such rules like over 30 can not wear skinny jeans. Are they setting the trend, or is there any legit rule? Come on; it’s about your body and what suits/look better, most notably, which makes feel happy and comfortable. Just go with those!! I appreciate your opinions, though!
Agree 100%. Wear what is comfortable, and feels and looks right to you. We are all built differently. At 5'9" and 140lbs, I swim in straight cut jeans. I prefer slim fit in the top box and then straight or min. taper to the hem. YMMV.
It just doesn't make you look good or MATURE, super skinny jeans look more immature cause younger generations, once you get older and care about style all slim fits things you realise work best with absolutely everything as well and makes you look more MODEST, dress for success
Have you tried Origen Jeans. This year for Christmas I got two pairs of their indigo factory jeans. They are with out a question the most comfortable jeans I own. For reference until I got these one I was a 501 man. Both in black and in Indigo. The break in was like three washings. Origin make two lines of jeans the afore mentioned factory jean and the Delta Jean. I don’t own the delta jean which is more of a fitter or fighter cut. That is not me. At 205 pounds and six foot tall. I find the jeans have a beautiful break where they contact my boots or shoes. I have heard that origin recently started making a boot cut in the lighter Delta jeans. Have yet to see a review of the look. No I am not paid in any way for my comments by Origen however I do,like the fit and comfort of their jeans. As far as foot wear goes I am a Clark Fan (their desert boot) and a real fan of the Red Backs from Down Under. At the moment I am reading the reviews on the Truman Boots Company. Really Thinking their Black Tea Core boot or shoe. Value any feed back on this. 😊😊😊😊😊
@@BootSpyAs you've probably heard being in the area, the old Draper X3 looms were sent to Vidalia Mills in Louisiana. I don't think Raleigh Denim's current business model selling only $450 pairs of jeans is sustainable long term. I've heard they're working on an All-American pair of denim they'll be selling for a hundred bucks at some point. It wouldn't surprise me if those jeans used. Vidalia denim...
@@BWM135 I JUST saw an ad for those. VERY intruguing. I'm probably going to get a pair myself. And that's fascinating re: those looms going to Vidalia. I'm not familiar with the deep textile stuff, but have been learning a lot about NC textiles (through my sock company, Camel City Mill, which is Winston based and manufactured in NC).
@@Jiggy609 you sure they are straight, and not "relaxed fit ", those are the worst.. Also there is "tapered straight" fit..so it's roomy and straight from thigh to knee.. then tapers to a 7.5" or 7"opening .
Wtf I ain't buying a single pair of $350 jeans screw that. Also... Why does everyone say "pair of jeans" when it's not a pair of anything? Adhd moment...
I started wearing boots more often, Thursday and Docs and the models in the pictures always have jeans rolled up and I’m wondering if that’s just the right look. I’m not a fan either but I see it everywhere
