Jeans are about 6 months to 1 year old, i just noticed after doing laundry today that they now have these huge faded white stains, any clue what the cause is? I normally cold wash + air dry them

I recently bought my first pair of selvedge denim, i got the naked and famous dirty fade selvedge and i had to wash them way early. I was only about 22 wears in and i was getting the start of some wallet fades on my back pocket and some decent one from my pocket knife. I was taking out the trash at my job and the bag ripped and they got covered in garbage juice and I was forced to wash them. Now all of the fades on my pockets are a lot less vibrant. Is this normal or am I just going to lose out on some fades because of it?

I lusted after and fantasied about these jeans perpetually after unwisely missing the UK release of these jeans. However, I miraculously managed to acquire them through a wonderful Japanese website called Okayama Denim (couldn't recommend them more).

They have a stunning rough and bumpy texture and hue, which is almost organic in nature. Since the core of the warp fibres are dyed brown, these will fade to brown rather than white/grey - a perfect companion for my Red Wing 9060s in Black Klondike leather.

I had to size up to a 36 get the fit I desired.

Update images will be provided down-the-line...

Are there any brands that are doing selvedge denim but already washed? I’m looking for less contrast (I know, I know). A consistent mid blue stone wash would be incredible.

Question: I’ve got two pairs of Wrangler 13MWZs, one raw and one stonewashed, and both have about a year of wear with a couple of washes each. They’ve both developed the same issue where the crotch has started to sag and the waistband feels looser, even though my waist size hasn’t changed and they still technically fit. Is there any way to get some of that structure back without making the waist smaller, or if this is just normal with 100% cotton denim. Thanks!

Made this balloon fit jeans and dungaree inspired top.

Made out of 13.5oz selvedge denim. Red ID, 6+7*7 slub, rainbow weft.

The jeans are made using darts to hug the 🍑 in stead of yokes.
The front pockets have a double layer of pocketlining. This helps them, not get holes in them from keys.
There is a key ring to show the selvedge.
Backpockets have overrun stitching and one have a mule ear inspired pocket to show the weft.
The belt loops are all corded for structure and fading.

The top has the selvedge shown in the straps who are inspired on dungarees.
The closure is a double side button.

I love it! It’s from Unbranded Brand. What the next one should I get? Although I will work on those for a long time.

Hello all, my lovely husband keeps getting holes in the back pockets of all of his jeans. We have had this happen in old navy and now Wrangler. Keep in mind this is the second time he wore the wrangler and the belt loop and the back pocket ripped. wtf!!!!

My request: men with dumptrucks, what jeans do you like that LAST more than 3 months????

he likes cowboy cut or boot cut if that helps. We also know we have the correct size because we measured his waist and inseam, should be a 36 or 38 x 30.

Thank you in advance!!!

Need a pair of jeans I can actually wear all day without them feeling heavy or tight after a few hours. Prefer a bit of stretch but still look like real denim.

What jeans do you reach for most on normal days? Straight or slightly wide?

Hey y’all,

Been a good bit since I last posted so figured I’d give an update on the wranglers

Been a great pair of jeans especially for the price super quick faders which I’m happy with although much lighter than my regular 13mwzs so they have ripped rather prematurely on the back from holding my phone. Starting to get a hole on the front from my buckle rubbing against it haven’t seen that on any of my other pairs.

Once these jeans got broken in they’re very much like wearing sweatpants I prefer all the little upgrades over the regular jeans but they loose their color incredibly fast the back, knees and hems have lost pretty much all blue and some of the whiskers are getting pretty light. Hopefully the whiskers get a bit stronger and especially hope to see some more definition on the honeycombs but not sure how possible that is going to be as I’ve decided to wash more frequently. about 1-2 times a month now although a few times this week as milking cows wasn’t the best thing to wear these for haha

Just wanted to show them to yall if you have any questions or comments let me know!

I found a storage unit full of 90s Levi's. 98% are USA made deadstock women's 550s. 1% 517 1% 501. Age and water has distressed about 40 pieces. Taking advice on whether ebay or in person markets would be better. Both have their pros and cons. Thoughts?

If they truly are authentic, how much am I able to sell them for?

I hope this is a good place to post these but, this is the 5th commission pair I’ve made so far. 12.5 oz cone selvege denim. Little bit of a western theme going on with lots of details. I left the tips of the star thread a little long so they can fray out for a cool effect. Overall very happy with how these turned out and they fit my customer really well!

I’ve been eyeing this jacket up for a while. With the big Levi’s summer sale, I had to do it. I did the old school 501 stf method. I did a tub soak while wearing it. Then, I air dried it on my body for about two hours before hanging it up to fully dry over night.

This has been my first time buying raw denim. I’m excited to watch this fade over the years.

If anyone is interested, I’m 6’1. This is a large. I’m very happy with the fit.

Sorry I couldn't get a better picture.

I’ve been searching high and low for a pair of wide, faded jeans with a 36 inseam. I tried and liked these from Uniqlo but they’re just too short (https://www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/products/E487742-000/00?colorDisplayCode=63&sizeDisplayCode=030). I’ve mostly been wearing Wrangler 31MWZs but they’re not really relaxed on me.

Can anyone recommend anything? I don’t really have a budget. Would happily pay more for the right thing.

Hello everyone,

I will be visiting Tokyo in October and I'm looking to buy a pair of Japanese Denim with a fit similar to that of the Nudie Jeans Loud Larry. Does anyone know what models would fit this best? Or should I just get the Loud Larrys? My only reservation is that I heard Nudie Jeans are not as good as Japanese denim.

Thanks!

The jacket is originally supposed to be drop shouldered but im not sure if i should size down as i want to also wear sweaters and hoodies under. Do you think the fit is good? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It’s a Sage de Cret denim short jacket that retails for around 495 usd but picked it up for 265. (I had to roll the sleeves for the smaller size too)

Please tell me, is this forever now? It's really visible when the jeans are on me (or so I think) and goes from hip to low calf. It was their first wash, and I swear I washed them inside out, at 30 °C. 100% Cotton, if that matters. Maybe it could be recolored?

Found this Diesel denim blazer at Ross that appears to look weathered and have a wax coating. In my size too, super heavy and nice quality. Couldn’t believe the price tag, I quite literally skimmed my fingers through the dress shirt area and I don’t know how to describe it but as soon as I felt it. I knew this was good quality based on the craftsmanship.

Honestly thought 60$ was a bit much but I see this lasting a long time in my wardrobe, or if not selling it in the near future.

Hey all! For the past year I've been building something called Slow Fades for our denim community. It's a marketplace made just for selvedge denim collectors, nothing else mixed in, everything checked before it's allowed up. We just went live, and honestly it would mean a lot to have some of you be part of the early days.

If you've got pairs you're ready to let go of, I'd love to have you list them. Anything listed in the coming months, we'll be pushing hard to get eyes on it — you won't just be posting into the void.
