20 Denim Terms You Should Know

[@CarlMurawski]

Did I miss anything?

[@chriszietz1236]

Maybe I missed it but did you talk about what the warp and weft yarns do? Anyways, keep the videos coming!

[@jaredc3689]

You forgot the honeycomb and whiskers... :)

[@misha9952]

I'm sure you've seen it but (just in case) there's a really interesting documentary on Netflix called Blue Gold. Kind of a general history of American jeans.

[@robertprus9565]

"syck jane fadez" and not once did you call raw denim enthusiasts autists.

[@rizkyagungshahputra215]

What is slubby denim? I still confuse about this term

[@WornKey36]

This would be 10 videos on some other channels... thanks Carl! You're the best!

[@CarlMurawski]

Haha, you're right! I want to give you all the information in one place so you don't have to chasing it down.

[@stylinasian3291]

I’m lying on the couch watching this and I keep checking my jeans after each term 😂😂... awesome stuff! Have you seen the documentary Blue Gold? On Netflix, great for denimheads!

[@CarlMurawski]

Haha! Awesome!!! I haven’t seen it but it’s on my list now, thanks for the heads up!

[@giacomoperla]

Tanks for your suggestion. I'll watch it now!!!

[@philphillips9790]

Thanks for doing this Carl! You’re really talented in any way a person can be in your videos whatever you’re talking about. Thanks a lot.

[@LucidCode]

Carl, thanks for putting all this info together in such an easy to consume format. Simply incredible. I own 4 pairs of Naked and Famous and a Rag & Bones selvidge denim.... I'll never go back to basic jeans.

[@CarlMurawski]

Sounds like a true denim head! Have you tried the Brave Star stuff yet?

[@armink9686]

Probably the most relevant and educative denim guide on KZbin. Straight to the point, concise yet complete. This seems like a concept you could apply to outerwear, leather, etc...

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you so much!

[@savvylifestrategies9445]

Great explanation of denim terminology. You might consider explaining fit, such as slim fit, relaxed fit, etc.

[@CarlMurawski]

Good idea, I may have to make another video on that!

[@pattgsm]

Wow! Great info the stitching was my fav part. I always regret taking my jeans to the cleaners for a hem because they never come back with the original type of hem stitching. You'd think you wouldn't have to ask. Now I know what to request and how to spot the difference. Thanks🙏

[@CarlMurawski]

Excellent! This is exactly why I made this video!

[@stacyb.8405]

Wow! ...I was just researching denim for some aprons I wanted to start making...I just learned so much more than I thought I needed to know..lol..so informative! Thank you!..oh and as a quilter and sewing enthusiast..selvage isn’t a fancy word and anyone trying to make it sound glamorous probably couldn’t tell boxed wine from fine wine anyway! ( sell-vedge ..like adding a V to edge) Thanks again :)

[@jediphan]

Before I clicked on your video, I thought "This will probably be another useless video." I was wrong. I watched the entire video and subscribed. I like your style and delivery. I've been a denim-head since 1978 when I bought my first pair of Jordache jeans LOL All the best to you!

[@CarlMurawski]

Haha, awesome! Man, you’re an OG, I’m sure there’s plenty I can learn from you! Thanks for the sub my friend

[@jeffanco9367]

Super informative. I will watch this multiple times. Thanks for posting

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you!

[@matthewgallant3622]

I just got a pair of Roundhouse American made jeans and they’re excellent. It is raw denim and they were only $60, best pair of jeans I’ve ever owned.

[@southeastsales4142]

I’m a jean seller on eBay. I have sold thousands of pairs of jeans on the platform. I learned a lot from this video

[@dereknguyen131]

Thanks Carl

[@chriszietz1236]

Another fantastic video. Now I need another pair of denim.

[@CarlMurawski]

Feeding the addiction man!

[@zacharyruiz1542]

I found you on your video about fairbuilt wool blankets and I subbed then you have a wonderful presentation and good knowledge on your topics I will share you too all I know

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate that!

[@marcogonzalez4615]

Always informative and helpful!

[@CarlMurawski]

Doing my best!

[@arthursoto4285]

Thank you for your knowledge I learned so much in one video.

[@giacomoperla]

great explanation. great style... another video about denim, please....

[@poppapill8506]

Super helpful man , I was into designer washed denim for example: robin jeans , rock revivals, true religion but I got my first pair of Rag and Bone salvage and I noticed on the tag it said hand wash only so I looked up how to care for my salvage and boom , I’m now hooked on raw denim , very helpful for the terminology thank you 🙏

[@panair4126]

Truly a pleasure watching your videos.This was an amazing flow of information & nomenclature of denim.Thank you.

[@CarlMurawski]

So nice of you, thank you so much!

[@n.h187]

Thanks for the video, learnt a lot. Personally I like raw denim. The key is wearing and beating the hell out of it. It just gets better with age.

[@CarlMurawski]

Exactly!!

[@miguelmckenzie248]

Brilliant video. Super helpful.

[@steverichardson524]

Nice job.

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you!

[@discgolfboy9]

Thanks for the great information! Also, I love that vest! Where did you get it?

[@CarlMurawski]

I'm glad someone caught it! Thats a vest from the extinct denim company called Clutch Monkey. It's Cone Mills denim with Mexican blanket lining, a real gem of my collection.

[@Itskimglass]

Carl you're great ! Super new to this space and your video's are SO incredibly helpful!!

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed!!!

[@stevedellanno1842]

Excellent and concise video

[@MorethanGUNZ]

Great video, so much information. Hope the channel keeps growing and you keep putting out videos.

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you! I’ll certainly try

[@longlam4202]

Where has your channel been all this time?! Can't believe I've missed out for so long

[@katrinabretsch7671]

Super helpful…❤️

[@tom_olofsson]

Nothing burns into your memory quite like the crotch rivet on a pair of jeans put on straight out of the dryer. Yikes. Great video.

[@CarlMurawski]

Burns your memory and nether regions!

[@SabrinaCWB168]

Jeans used to have rivets on the crotch but Levi's removed them because cowboys complained that they burned after being near the campfire! XD So the crotch rivet was removed!

[@tom_olofsson]

Sabrina Wharton-Brown Yes but that was only one company and zippers still gets hot.

[@alonzocalvillo6702]

Tom Olofsson specialy if you are going commando.

[@highendtrends3508]

Great vid, F the haters. Never knew why some of my jeans twist. Now I know. Thanks

[@CarlMurawski]

Thanks man, plenty of haters out there especially on KZbin.

[@pornstarlivesmatter3319]

so many pairs of selvedge jeans, i went overboard

[@jim-ue8ir]

Awesome video!

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you!

[@danglinfury3640]

Know them All so far!

[@johnnylettuce7538]

Nice and informative vid! Thanks man!

[@philipbeadle6446]

If I'm not mistaken, the term selvage comes from "self-edge," so it would make sense it was pronounced that way unless it comes from some language other than English. Either way, people will know what you're saying when you say it that way.

[@amandaburger3312]

Good vid👍good info.

[@alejandroperezroulet-747]

Sincerely for me the best denim is in the Wranglers original cowboy cut.

[@danielirvine7468]

Dude thanks for all the tips not only this vid I have watched the redwing and Thorogood boots vids too I like the background better now over the older shelves Have you considered loosening up the shot ? So it’s not a close up but a mid shot I think it may help you and hey will open up you talking about shirts ,jackets ...the guy from stridewise has a cool effective set table chair product white wall .... I’m a tv camera man I just thought I would try and up you’re production and grow those subs you deserve I hope this isn’t offensive I love you stuff .

[@justecho12]

Love ur contents!

[@andersjensen1499]

Thanks for this great information. So what denim brands and models can you recommend and why ?

[@CarlMurawski]

Im a big fan of Iron Heart, Naked and Famous, Gustin, and Brave Star. They all have their little unique flairs but are all great options in my opinion.

[@andersjensen1499]

Carl Murawski thanks / will check them out

[@CarlMurawski]

Brave Star is especially good value for what you get. Check back in if you end up getting some!

[@brianh4625]

I was surprised to find flat felled seams on the inside of the legs on my Unbranded and Nudies (both selvedge), but not my Oni's.

[@danbarb9728]

So people say raw denim will shrink after washing it, you have to buy lets say one size larger BUT doesnt jeans also wear out again? So buy larger or buy true to size?

[@fernycreazed954]

Does the leg twist happen when using the extra longer length in the pant you usually wear. As if for example, I wear 36x30 and I get a 36x32 or 34 will it twist?

[@solarwinds-]

HELP, I'm sick of expensive bad fitting jeans made of bad fabric. Where can I go to get premium quality denim to make my own? I know how to sew jeans, I have a good pattern that fits me. Thanks a million.

[@Noah_Dienstag]

What if I’m getting leg-twist after a month or so?

[@CarlMurawski]

If you’re wearing them a lot it’s a bit early but normal. They’ll likely settle into a spot and not twist much more.

[@bayblader707inthevalley4]

Is there a way to prevent or fix leg twisting?? Ive had anywhere from 0-90 degree twists on my raw levi 501s

[@CarlMurawski]

The only way to really stop it is with broken twill, which was actually invented with this issue in mind!

[@katrinabretsch7671]

@@CarlMurawski who sells the best broken twill?

[@CarlMurawski]

@@katrinabretsch7671 I really like the broken twill from Okayama Denim

[@josephsquires8033]

4 years later, do you have product? Clothes or jeans line?

[@RavinderSingh-ol7pb]

What does the weight of the fabric means ? Plz explain .

[@CarlMurawski]

Weight is the thickness of the yarns which is measured in ounces. The higher the ounces, the thicker the denim

[@marcogonzalez4615]

Would you pull the trigger on a mcallister for 297 or wait if there’s additional discount? Brand new not a factory second. (AE is discontinuing brown) has a dainte rubber sole.

[@CarlMurawski]

Tough one, it seems like AE is always discounting their stuff but thats not bad considering they start around $400 now. You'll forget paying a bit more but you'll regret if you miss out on them. The Danite sole is such an awesome option btw.

[@marcogonzalez4615]

Carl Murawski I’m still kicking myself for not buying them at 196 with the extra 40%. I can’t believe the dark brown is going to be discontinued. I’m really not a fan of the coffee color. But, anyways, bottom line you would go with the Danite sole over the general leather for the mcallister?

[@CarlMurawski]

If you’re planning on wearing it as an everyday option I say Danite all the way. I wish I had gotten them on my Odenwalds.

[@marcogonzalez4615]

Carl Murawski I went ahead and picked up the McAllister’s with the danite sole, I love them. Great dark brown color and it’s clear how good the leather is on these. Thanks for the advice. They gave me an addition 20% so we are talking 248 before taxes.

[@alonzocalvillo6702]

I had a pair of Levi’s with a double x on the label and was wondering what it meant .I googled it and found out it was selvedge denim I regret throwing them away because they didn’t fit me at the time.

[@marciaw4164]

5:45 fabric (this is really about jeans, not so much about denim)

[@rpow6861]

its "sil-vaag-ee" 😅😅😉

[@kataotr3816]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@gormalfun99]

Sir. . It can be easily unravel. Lock stitch is sturdier.
