Depends on the shoe/boot. For sneakers or boots, aw yeah a bit of dirt makes them look better imo.

But for anything dressy, e.g. Bexley Enfield or any dress shoe, I'll try to keep them out of the rain because I wouldn't use Sno-Seal or anything of the sort on them at all.

mb: they're your boots, you can do whatever you want with them. just dont tell others not to care for theirs because of your standards for shoe care.

I ended up getting some Red Wing Beckman's in Cigar Featherstone...after two years of deciding weather or not I wanted them lol. Awesome pair of boots. Smouldered Obenauf's heavy duty LP on it too.

Has anyone's raws gotten to the point where they feel very soft?

I have some left hand twill N&F's, about 1.5 years old, never washed. But somehow they've softened up so much to the point where it feels as soft as a pair of Sevens or something.

I have older Nudies and Unbranded that don't feel this soft. Maybe it's the left hand twill? :suspicious:

How many times have you soaked/washed them? My N&F ones because soft after the third soak. It could be because all the starch is washed out.
Another reason could be that you simply wore the shit out of all of it. :fullofwin:

Tate+Yoko Black Friday deals on denim: Tate + Yoko

Might be the denim weight.

Never soaked/washed. Just did the good old freeze n febreeze

This is what I'm thinking. Might just simply be a lighter weight.

Bought two pairs of Levi's rigid today at the bay, 30% off regular prices = one pair 49 and other was 54 :D

show us some fade pics PJ! :)

^That's another odd thing. This particular pair hasn't faded that much lol :suspicious:

Maybe I'll post em tomorrow regardless.

i think they become softer because of the bacteria/not washing it?

mine were really soft too and it felt like.. too gross for me to wear anymore without washing.

:lawl:

Long story short - over last 8 months combination of not caring what I eat + lifting pretty heavy in the gym = my APCs are getting too tight in the thighs.

Any suggestions for a cheap pair of jeans to take their place over the next little bit while I get my legs back down to an appropriate size? I have a pair of N&F skinny guys in Black Power Stretch that fit pretty well, and also a pair of Joe Fresh denim that are black and like 3% stretch material (so stretch material has been doing well for me). Would get another pair of N&F but I don't want to spend more than $100 on this pair, and the indigo Joe Fresh jeans aren't stretch.

Unbranded 21oz Super Heavy Weight Raw Selvedge: Early December! | Blue Owl Workshop

Unbranded is legit.

Strangely enough, I like my Unbranded more than my N&F's :lawl:

i tried them on thought they fit really odd on me. really wanted to like them but just couldnt.

I didn't wear my raw jawnz today. I felt like I was cheating on them.

Yeah, I bought a black pair but didn't like the color or the fit so I resold them.

super interested in those Unbranded 21oz..

how do their skinnies fit like in comparison with levi 511 and nudie thin finns?

I have the N&F Skinnies (same measurements) and a few pairs of 511s. They fit more or less the same as Levi's 511. Maybe a slightly smaller thigh but that's all.

oops i meant the 510s

I guess you could just measure your jeans and compare them to BlueOwl's measurements.

Bought first pair of Raw denim....wearing it for the first day today and having the hardest time breathing right now LOL
