Hi @Ssunnylee24. Let's gather all the denimheads and watch enthusiasts in OF! 😁😁

Nicely faded and slubby Strike Gold! 👍 Are the back pockets reinforced with hidden rivets? I see hints of them on your back pocket.
Yes, they are. They have been getting more times after I got em hem’d at SELA. Front verticle fades are coming along nicely!
Thanks for making this thread.

When I was a kid in the 1980s we used to trawl through second hand stalls to find Big E Levi’s from the 50s and 60s - £15 - £30 a pair, always wore them rolled up to show off the red selvedge , our diamond pattern socks and Brogues of course.
No pictures so it won’t count.
.......sorry old dude reminiscing!

Wow. I've always wondered what the denim scene was like back in the 80s. Now I have an idea of what it was like. 😁 Would have been great if you had a picture of you rocking those Big E's!

It's never too old for anyone to wear denim. Maybe you should get back in the game. 😀

Love that RGT. I don't know what the rules are on sales besides watches and watch related goods. Maybe a mod can help?

I have a bunch of denim lying around as well because I gained weight. But I'm determined to lose weight so that I can start wearing them again. 😁

@Koen beautifully faded Levi's and lovely patina on the leather patch. I've always liked Cone mills. I have a pair from Gustin. How many years have you worn yours?

Here's a selvedge shot!

Nice red line! Wore mine for about 2 years, but it Wasn’t a raw denim, only selvedge. It is very very very- did I mention very?- heavy jeans.

I stopped trying different denim when I got the APC. Now I just buy the same ones again when they wear down too much.

Wow that fade on the extreme right.

I use to wear jeans a fair bit when I was in a band (15 years ago).

Then I started the bulk/lifting life. I would love to purchase a pair that would loook like the one on the right! great great color.

Anyone knows of a brand/size/cut for me? I use to play rugby and i squat alot. I'm 1.82m, 96-98kg. Waist is about 35-36. I had my wedding suit fitted out for me, and the tailor told me my thighs are 24 inches.

I don't mind a loose fit, and I don't think i can fit into slim/fit jeans. I look ridiculous in them. So a straight cut would be ideal for me!

Thanks!
