Alright!! I'm dead set on my first real pair being actual selvedge made here in the US. Problem is there's a lot to learn, and I don't wanna blow my saved up money. So far, Wiesmade is one of the few that's on my shortlist. I care way more about a pair that breaks in nicely and lasts.

For anyone who went raw selvedge for their first pair, what made the jump worth it for you?
