Ayyy much love my brother! Took some inspo from you my friend, hope you enjoy your time when you move out here to New York 🙏🏽🔥 Thanks for your support king 🤧
This is good soread, the entry level jean models make sense and i appreciate the thoughtful overviews of the more "advanced" inventive selection of models
I would say for someone looking to get into it and doesn't want to break the bank both Naked & Famous and Brave Star are probably good places to start. N&F might not be the cheapest but they do usually have stuff on sale and are available in stores for the most part while Brave Star is a very no-frills all US made brand that has enough variety that it's good to start with. I might also add UES as a brand to try, again very simple but great foundation piece to start with.
If you don't mind digging into used 1791 Supply made some good selvedge jeans if you're a bigger guy. It's woven on selvedge mills in North Carolina and sown in Kentucky. For $50-75 used it's a really nice pair of everyday jeans.
My first raw denim jeans were ONI-679BZR 20OZ dark indigo secret denim :) altogether beautiful, slow fading, not very contrast, super comfy, perfect for cold weather.
I love to hear it! I would imagine it’s not much of a high contrast fader, more of a vintage fader. I would love to see how they came out! 😁 How long have you had them for?
@@AlejandroJomar I started wearing them in January 2022. It's cold here in Northern Europe so such heavy jeans can be worn for 7-8 months per year. I also own Pure Blue Japan and Flat Head jeans, but ONI is my favorite :D The fabric is so good.
Bro you’re like the denim head version of Captain Hook out here absolutely killing it! Love your content and the way you present it, keep it up boss. Also left field nyc is amazing and I’m so happy I stumbled upon them two months ago. Your channel helped me find the perfect fit in the atlas fit. Cheers
Ahhh man no way really? 😁 thank you so much for the kind words my friend I really appreciate it for real bro and I’m more than happy I was actually able to help someone find the perfect fit 🔥🙏🏽 Left Field is super solid and I hope they last you a lifetime! 💪🏽 Thank you so much for your support!
I ordered my first 2 pairs of selvedge denim jeans earlier today, Unbranded Brand Ub201 and Naked & Famous Weird Guy Left Hand Twill. I've never owned a pair of selvedge denim jeans so wish me luck. The only thing I'm worried about is the waist size, i have no idea if they are going to fit in the waist compared to my normal jeans i wear.
I have a pair of Unbrandeds. So far it’s my first and only pair of raw selvedge jeans and I want to see how it goes before I get more. I really like them, but they haven’t really faded much after a year. I didn’t wear them super consistently for about 6 months and that is likely why so I’ve started wearing them more.
The 5 oz sounds crazy! That must be so interesting how lightweight that is! The only thing for me is Unbranded doesn’t have the fit I’m looking for unfortunately 😓
Hi Alejandro! I take the liberty of bothering you to ask you for advice... I'm looking for a selvedge jeans with a classic cut (not too slim but not too loose either) that is quite elegant and has an indigo color of excellent quality and shade. Could you recommend some models according to your taste? Thank you. Matthew
My first pair of raw denim jeans is gustins a 13oz cone mills denim in skinny fit now I'm a skinny guy and I bought true to size and at first the crouch was tight its loose now so I had this idea of sizing up in waist so I did that with 2 of my brave stars back in 2021 I do regret it cause obvious reasons but I still rocked them and beat them up from work I had to wash one twice due to I accidentally spilled a drug test on them lol but rn I'm gonna get the waist fixed while I rock a pair of Sugercanes and pure blue Japan's
When a man with a mustache like this tells me about raw denim, I listen. Heck I didn't even know I _needed_ raw denim until the mustache told me I did.
I’m a tailor and I have complete sewing machine for jeans ,but I don’t know where to buy Japanese selvage fabrics can you please give me idea where I find the store in Los Angeles California thanks
Unfortunately I’m not that familiar with Los Angeles as I’ve never been on the West Coast before 🥲 let me see what I can find and maybe I can help you out after some research. Give me a few days! 😁
Hey boss! I wanted to get your opinion on Rustic Dime Selvedge Denim. There main slogan is a pair of selvedge jeans for under 100$. I thought this might be a good pair to start off with! Do you know anything about this brand? Thank you so much! (= Definitely going to check out the unbranded jeans though too!!!
Hey man! Such a good question, I actually recently just found out about them through some people on my TikTok! To be honest, I’ve never tried them myself, but I am very interested at taking a look at them in person, so I may be doing a video on that soon! 👀 I’m sorry I don’t have more to offer you man I just don’t want to put my stamp of approval on a brand I’ve never physically seen or heard of from someone I know whose opinion I trust, you know? 😢 I definitely do wanna try them though!
Hey man! Do you think its ok to use oxyclean on raw denim when heavily stained? I dont like wearing stained or yellowish denim, but am worried i will damage it if i use oxyclean
Hello my friend! To be honest with you, I think it should be fine for the most part as long as it’s diluted in the water first before you put the denim in to avoid any uneven discoloration. It most likely might lighten the denim up all around, but on an even scale so it won’t be noticeable. To be safe. I would ask a professional at a dry cleaner first if they can do it, as they usually can. Hope this helps!
@@ronaldcachoo no problem at all bro I’m always here to help! And trust me I get it, I’m also Puerto Rican I know the island can be tough on clothes 😅 I hope to go back soon though! Much love brother let me know how it goes 🙏🏽
@@adventurerneil I live in a country where the temperature hovers between 32c (89F) - 50c (122F), rarely between 20c (68F) - 30c (68F). Do you recommend 14 or 17 oz or early 20s are fine?
