What happens when you wear the same Jeans for 300 days

[@shellygenevievee]

Something I am growing to love is watching clothes get worn in - I have some fear about wearing out my nice clothes, which on one hand is a good thing, it’s important to care for your clothes, but on another hand, clothes are meant to work for us, and become worn in. Seeing this type of thing from creators like you, hearing people like Alec Leach and Expired Tiger encourages me more to wear my nice clothes and enjoy the beauty of them changing from wear.

[@estebansalas5817]

you were the catalyst to convince me to get a pair of japanese selvedge. Went to my local self edge in LA and got your exact pair of sugarcane Okinawa. man, i can’t take these things off. Just an absolute beauty to wear and worth every penny, im hooked.

[@carlpierre9635]

Ok I’m in Japan now. I purchased 3 pairs of jeans on this trip. I went to the Levis shop and purchase a pair of 501s and had them custom to what I like (added the Japanese flag on the pocket/added the Tokyo patch on back of left leg). Purchased a pair of Edwin 505z. Read the history behind the jeans and founded out he invented the process of stone wash jeans. Last pair are MoMotaro classic straight in black, or very dark blue. I luv my jeans and buying Japanese jeans to me is my next step in understanding the history behind jeans with a passion for the process/history/story telling. I own 40 pairs of true religion jeans which I luv the design. I purchased those jeans because of his designs and uniqueness, not the name. The majority of those jeans are 10 to 15 years old. I’m telling my age here lol😂. Luv your U-tube channel and the information you provide alone with a pure meaning behind the madness. Keep pushing!

[@usefulschool]

Thanks for the dedication to wearing these so much. It’s beautiful to see such restraint in today’s fast fashion culture. 🙌🏾

[@adoboFosho]

Raw denim saw a big push around 2009 theres a high chance some people just never strayed away from that while others going to yzy etc

[@adoboFosho]

Funny cus kanye also did a apc collab prior

[@jacksimmonds1724]

I started looking into Japanese selvedge after you mentioned it last year, and ended up buying a pair of TCB 50s in february - 100% my favourite jeans I've ever owned. Thanks for the inspo! #pvv

[@DrewJoiner]

Lovely choice!!

[@itslax25]

Hey drew! Because of your denim videos I got a pair of naked and famous jeans in April and one for my dad too for his birthday! While I am not sure my dad has gotten much use out of his because I underestimated his belly I have gotten plenty of use already for mine and I use them 9/10 times. I get a lot of enjoyment out of the slight fading! I love things that change over time with use, like I have a few japanese carbon steel knives and some carbon steel sushi knives too from when I was a sushi man and if you don't know carbon steel patinas over time just like leather would!! So thank you for introducing me to the world of selvedge denim drew.

[@ScoutCW]

ran my second wash some days ago. the roping definitely more pronounced and actually the button fly created some circular fade on the flap. kinda cool. i’ve worn them about 80 times, still nothing too visible as far as whiskering on front and back behind knee. but with time ❤

[@lilfellavids]

It’s gonna be a great Sunday when drew posts

[@jaystalls]

I recently got the 3Sixteen RS-100x. The relax fit and high waist gives the jeans that classic heritage look I was looking for. The staff in the nyc shop were also super friendly and helpful. I’m only ~45 wears so far, but they’ve softened up so much.

[@literallyanythingelseother]

You can fade $25 wranglers you just gotta get them in black. Concept works the exact same

[@electricbamboogaloo2]

I liked the comparison - that nep disappearing is something new I learned. Fade it your way.

[@BabaGanooshOFS]

I picked up these jeans in early 2023 because I have a personal connection to Okinawa and I found your channel because of these jeans. I’ve been looking forward to this video since.

[@heinz0079]

Drew!!! This will excite you. Just last week, I bought my second pair of timeworn at last jeans. There are amazing, also bought the jeans jacket as a set because I’ll gift it to myself on my birthday 😁😁 great job on fading yours so good. all the best from Germany! ❤️

[@michaeldoerksen2841]

Its funny, I scored a seeminly brand new pair of LSG selvedge denim at a local thrift. Tried em on, they fit and walked out $15 lighter in the wallet. Looked them up on their website, found out these were only on sale at $80 and new they were $180. So... I'm getting into selvedge at a ridiculously low cost. Thanks for the inspiration Drew. Keep em coming, much love from 🇨🇦 #pvv

[@BBhatt-pi5ob]

Currently rocking 25oz iron heart 666, and 33oz SoSo tbol jeans and 33oz type 3 jacket. Loving it so far!

[@JoeyDecay]

Man. That's why i love working in my jeans. They fade a lot faster. I have a 22oz pair of slubby denim from the Unbranded Brand, and they are as faded ast those, if not more, after 3 months of wear total, 2 of them being at work for 6-10s. Some people think im crazy for wearing $100-200 jeans to work, but I have so many pairs now, and I've finally come to the realization that they are jeans. They were invented to be worked in. Sometimes, I'll get a little burn mark from welding or scrapes from the sheet metal sliding against them, but thats just part of their story. There are some pairs that I would not want to wear to work, but that's why it's fun cause every pair tells its own story.

[@jl22soulbeat29]

Amazing .. I am wearing the same pair now . They are addictive to wear .. once put em on , you just wanna keep wearing .. your pair fades beautifully 👊🏻

[@graysonmoreno2167]

#pvv I went up to NYC to the Naked and Famous store and picked up a pair on the MIJ12 Aomidori Selvedge jeans in indigo! But what’s super cool about them is that the are greencast so as I have been fading them the indigo fades to this green/white which I think is super unique and fun

[@JoeyDecay]

I really want to get a pair of MIJ. N&F has the best fits in my opinion. But the MIJ can get pricey. Especially when I can get some Oni for under $200 from certain Japanese sites. Oni is probably one of my favorite textured denim. I bought the first pair in America at James Dant actually, but they were $300. They don't have the back pocket stitching but I did get to actually try them on so I know what to buy online. But Bears'Tokyo is a good site for Japanese prices. I was using denimio, but the price went from like $200- $260 over the summer. Bears still has Oni and momotaro for under $200 usd and you should get free shipping at both. Denimio does have a larger selection. I want to actually go to Japan and buy some stuff. Like go to Iron Heart and not pay $400. Lol. But that would be dangerous. I already have more jeans than I need..

[@PeachysGaming]

I have a 3 pair rotation, I prefer a few over just one. My first pair was Tanukis 101ID "Double Indigo" - Regular Straight Second is Oni 246 "Ishikawadai" Clean Straight Fit Third and current favs PBJ smokey blues 003 straight fit Love the video as always #pvv

[@EbonyBladeXX.mp3]

Thats a nice lineup!!

[@BlondedPlant]

wake up honey, new Drew post!

[@TruthTriumphs777]

Your videos are very relaxing to watch

[@モリリラム]

I wore uniqlo selvedge jeans and they are great I didn't knew it was selvedge one friend of mine told me isn't ur jeans selvedge and from that point on I watched one of ur videos and now it's been 2yrs since I bought them I wash them way to often so they have an even fade something like ur pair I like them a lot.

[@LK_EBM]

Love seeing how selvedge denim fades. I have a few videos on selvedge denim (but the budget/affordable brands lol).

[@supavln]

mans should do an indigo invitational one day

[@skeeter2136]

I’ve been wearing 21oz iron heart 634s for 2.5 months. I washed them for the second time last night and they’re still very stiff and heavy compared to the 14oz canvas pants I’m wearing while the jeans dry. Not directly related but Japanese denim is cool. There’s so much variation in denim that you can’t get if you stick with modern mass produced brands.

[@divine1k]

My most favorite pair are without a doubt Kapital’s 14oz TH Straight fit jeans. The weight is perfect - light enough that I won’t sweat in the summer, but not too light that I’ll freeze during the winter. The texture of the pant is soft and smooth, yet feels durable and sturdy. The cut is very flattering with all of my shoes & boots. One of my favorite features on them is that the leather patch on the back is attached at only two points, so you can loop your belt through the pants and not cover the patch up. They’re roughly $300 not cheap lol but I’m gonna wear them until they fall apart #pvv

[@greyhoundhorse]

Great perspective- your jeans tell a story of you- very cool

[@literallyanythingelseother]

I always redye my jeans when they wash out too much lol

[@donskidarko]

I have a couple of vintage Levi’s 501s Big E, one’s already been patched up. I have an old pair of Edwin 505SX and a pair of Momotaro 0901 Vintage label I haven’t washed yet…less than 10x used. :)

[@fridgeninjas]

I'm a Naked & Famous denim enjoyer! Im curently wearing a pair of Josuke Higashikata jeans from the Jojo collab they did last October :)

[@patrickpatel5527]

I still personally prefer the look of the unworn jeans 👖I think it looks neat!

[@cashhank]

i have a pair on naked and famous strong guys “left hand twill” i’m waiting until i hit my 2 month mark for their first wash and then to get them hemmed

[@MrBookluck]

I got discont'd selvedge raw denim in the green color

[@Guyster5]

#pvv I don’t have a pair, I usually try to stick to buying clothes second hand: however, I think I used to have a pair. I had naked and famous jeans that were a hand me down from my cousin that felt raw and inelastic but also had broken in a comfortable way. I was in middle school and much school and didn’t like the look of blue jeans as much - especially during the skinny jean era - so I think I gave them to a friend or relative Wish I could see them now to fond out what type they were etc

[@jjjtung]

Great vid, nice fades! Feel like it'd be a bit more accurate to emphasize 'raw denim' more vs 'selvedge' when we're talking about fades, but all good

[@tooeasy8619]

Just picked up my first pair didn’t want to spend too much money so I went with the Levi Selvedge 505s. I drive trucks so the knee and back pocket fades will be insane. PVV

[@Blackbelt-Shaq]

Not gunna lie, I thought with 300 days of wear the fades would be more faded. They look dope but maybe it’s because they are a wider pair. But then again I’m comparing to competition fades where ppl workout in their jeans and probably do a bunch weird extracurricular activities to get those crazy fades.

[@vo_san]

Do you ever feel disappointed wider fit raw denim won’t fade as much as if they were slim? I fell in love with the crazy high contrast fades and don’t think newer cuts can ever achieve it

[@josmarzepeda2358]

So far I ended up with 4, left field, dubbleware, bleeding indigo, and patchwork fatigues from w’mensware

[@ginnobriones4644]

You motivated me to buy the Classic 1947 Sugarcane Straight Cut and my take into fashion has changed since. Love it everytime i wear the jeans and i get excited to see the changes of details over time - the fade, size, lines. Felt deeper connection to myself and this community by appreciating the classics. Thanks so much Drew for keeping it real #pvv

[@pillage-]

Just recently bought my first pair of handmade selvedge denim from a seller out in the Bay Area. They're a 14oz pair of denim, wide cut, and feel amazing in hand. It's my first pair of denim that I've spent $200+ on and seems it was worth it. Definitely keeping it for years and going to get many wears out of it. #pvv

[@nestopoeta]

I picked up a pair of going to battle momotaro wide legs I can’t wait for the fade to start showing

[@howeyenetwork9743]

I tend to tally every wear and write start date on my front side pocket.

[@zoohill]

Got some Japanese denim pants (because of you) and now I’m trying to find the right Japanese denim jacket.

[@arielguzman9336]

I got lots of Selvedge but I never wear them to work because I’m always running late and I keep them hanging inside out so it takes time to bust them out lol

[@Leviparnham]

iconic

[@JM-gi6gf]

I think perhaps he washed it a bit earlier on (maybe it got dirtty?) So the fades are more uniform than honeycomb. Still a really beautiful look! We know you never stank in those 😆

[@niclaswiktor8114]

literally just got a pair of sugar canes and they are awesome. I wear em all the time now #pvv

[@nestopoeta]

It’s pretty cool because Okinawa is known for it exquisite sugarcane production and also the snake print is because they make an alcohol that has fermented snakes in them it’s wild it’s in like every liquor store out there so it has awesome Okinawa touches in them

[@SanFranFan30]

I don't have any Selvedge right now but I really really want to get some Bravestars or Naked and Famous jeans.

[@captainz3628]

Make a video on styling shirts

[@MattDonnelly]

bro im ngl i had zero interest in any raw selvege denim till u started rockin them. You got me into naked and famous (also great they have a great KZbin channel btw) and now i got myself a pair and am absolutely in love with them! Got a pair of strong guy nightshade stretch selvege. #pvv

[@rp3504]

I'm not crazy about the nep look, which is why I didn't buy Samurais when I was in Tokyo last week (they were only $190!). Instead I bought Momotaro and Studio Dartisan.

Question Drew... where did you get your rack to dry your jeans? tty

homie you gotta tell us where you get things tailored for us NYers

[@tonypc84]

Love it. I’m curious how much the denim stretched out when you bought it. And when you bough it again did you reduce the size that you purchased? thanks

[@RegisteredNurseRyan]

I’m still looking for my first pair of Japanese denim however it’s hard to search for them as there are almost no shops for such denim in my country, sadly

[@jacobfletcher7454]

What size did you originally get in your okinawa’s?? I was a 34” inch waist but have also lost some weight and now I’m a 33”. Would you recommend I get the size 34 or go up to the 36 and get tailored if they’re too big? I’ve got a pair of naked and famous strong guy dirty fades and they’ve stretched out a bit too far for my liking

Recently got a pair of oni 222 low tension wide straight jeans! #pvv

[@alejandrogallardosk8]

Did you get the new pair in 33 instead of a 36 ? I have ordered some Hawaii’s in a 33 but they were way to small so I watched a couple videos of your & just went up to a 36 fit me loose I ended up keeping them and planing on just getting them tailored but it’s been over a year now & can’t find anyone to fix them, and now I saw the Okinawas have finally restock so I got a pair in a 34 but they still fit too small so idk what to do idk if they stretch out with the more I wear them ? Or just return them and get 36 and find tailor or just give up on sugar cane and find a company that’s fits more True to size I normally wear a 33/34 any suggestions?

[@mouthnoises9917]

かっこいい

[@ReMiXPoPz]

How do you decide on when to wash your jeans?

[@MultiVance123]

Higher contrast fades, Wash less. More vintage, low contrast, Wash More. Ultimately, you should wash them when they’re dirty. Denim is supposed to “reflect your personal story,” so I’d say just wear them and wash them whenever you feel like they need it.

[@tylerlum427]

I have some sugar cane 1966’s and they’re really long - like a 38 length. I have them cuffed rn, and I’m trying to decide when to get them hemmed (after first wash?) bc I’m scared they’ll shrink and end up as high waters. Any advice #PVV

[@sourturtle514]

100%. You can even use heat to get more shrinkage out. Raw denim guys baby their jeans but slight heat is perfectly fine.

[@mouthnoises9917]

Way too skinny !! I really want to buy some Wide Leg slightly Baggy fitting Japanese Selvedge Jeans ! These would look terrible on me since I have such big strong legs.

[@ralphcantrell3214]

I'm old, and I am sick and tired of "modern" jeans, {Levis as well as all others), that sit right at the top of your buttocks, apparently so thugs can walk around with their underwear hanging out 😖. Even the last pair of 501's I bought sat way too low on the waist. I hope I live to see this ridiculous and offensive trend run its course.

Idk looks meh.. would be cooler in black…613 days and I’m not impressed..maybe cause i don’t wear colors anymore…..idk

[@Gabe_Dewey]

I can never nerd out on Japanese selvedge denim with anyone I know. So it’s fun seeing videos like this where someone gets so excited about their denim and faces.

[@THEREALKAYO1]

I think it sucks to put your wallet in your front or back pockets, they only do that cause they want some stupid wallet fade. The best place to put your wallet is in your jacket or bag. Putting a wallet in your pants pocket just makes yourself less comfortable , especialy if you got a thick wallet.

[@THEREALKAYO1]

I just got these Zara x Stefano pilati "ysl designer" collab black wide leg jeans, it says unwashed denim on the zara website, so does that mean its raw denim? I believe its raw denim. Really enjoying the wide leg fit and will see how they fade.

[@CryingOrc1]

Wearing the same denim like this is not recommended for normal people. It’s best to have multiple pairs and rotate to minimize putting to much wear on one pair.
