Reacting to CARL MURAWSKI Buying His First SELVEDGE Denim Jeans

[@CarlMurawski]

Absolutely brilliant man! Thank you for taking the time to do this, you had me cracking up with the perfect cuts!

[@yesman2742]

THE MAN!!!!

[@CeeAreDee]

Haha, thanks Carl. Was super fun to make!

[@andrewc9790]

Can one or both of you touch on Wranglers rigid 13mwz jeans. They don't get any love, but I think they're still a very well made jean (still being made with US denim) and definitely an American staple. I'm curious what a pro like yourselves thinks of them.

[@matthewgreen4564]

@@andrewc9790 Their cheap 😂 Honestly I see why some people only wear them. I personally am just a Levi’s man from my childhood. The biggest con in my opinion is the pockets are two shallow

[@Mulceber]

Just wanted to chime in and say that I’m so used to “reaction” videos being youtubers dunking on each other. This was both way more classy and informative. Nice collaboration!

[@nottsforest69]

Just found this gem. I mostly love denim for the myriad of textures and tones rather than for the fades. Makes me smile wearing different jeans and reminds me to simply have fun with my daily clothing choices.

[@CeeAreDee]

And that’s the best way. Have fun.

[@andrewsalazar98]

11:37: “direction that your denim has been woven in.” Me: looks down at my duck canvas pants “... both?”

[@CeeAreDee]

Haha. That’s 1x1 weave. So no direction. Both. Either way. Beautiful fabric.

[@gdonaldkaye7611]

Fabulous detailed information about the whole current denim attraction/intoxication/obsession!

[@CeeAreDee]

Appreciate the kind words 😊

[@GrahamAtDesk]

As a jeans noob (if you put aside the fact that I've been wearing them for around 45 years, which is clearly irrelevant) I really enjoyed this. And I LOL'd on the FCUK boot cut comment - I've been saving a pair from around the time they discontinued them (2010?). Must be about time I started rocking them again... 🙂 What fascinates me most about this niche within our culture is that this level of geekery (and just in case that's misinterpreted, it's in no way a slur - I'm a software developer have been known as a geek for several decades) would never have developed until people were connected via the Internet. Subbed.

[@CeeAreDee]

Thanks Graham. Appreciate it buddy. Geek is a fine way to put it. I think anyone with a passion for anything wouldn’t mind being labelled a geek in relation to whatever it might be. And you know what. Rock that bootcut if that’s what you’re into.

[@vikingoutdoors8468]

Thanks for all the information on your channel mate. Have binged watched most of your videos now. Got my first pair of raw selvedge jeans today, edwin ed 55 rainbow, brand new off ebay for £80. Looking forward to breaking them in over the year. Take care 🙂

[@CeeAreDee]

Nice! Such a good pair of get started with.

[@darraghgarethson5597]

One of the biggest shocks I had, moving to Ireland, is the “youth” love boot cut jeans here, especially worn with square toed slipons 🤨

[@CeeAreDee]

😳😂 did you move to Ireland in 2001?

[@kartikchary]

Love the broken twill though ,not for any particular reason but out of personal preference for how it looks.

[@CeeAreDee]

It does look vey nice, right.

[@kartikchary]

@@CeeAreDee In my opinion, yeah broken twill looks great,feels really good.

[@modemarcoj8026]

This was a very good piece as usual Carl was hilarious

[@27Finbarr]

Matt that was great. The perfect symbiosis. P.s. watched your vid on the Levi’s 1944 501 Perfect Imperfections release before Christmas....they were gone off the Levi’s website within a day, but a few pairs re appeared there in mid-Jan! So managed to get a pair! Got #18 of 101. They have a one sided red tab, the painted arcuate is upside down. Pocket bags in denim fabric. The only really disappointing things is that there is absolutely no way of identifying the denim as being Cone white oak! Doesn’t say on any of the tags or even on the little letter your get in the back Pocket. So the only way I know is by virtue of the small hand written tags inside with the pair number #18 of 101, which links it back to the Perfect Imperfections release.

[@CeeAreDee]

Nice. I'd love to see some pictures. I guess that Levi wants to keep it as repro as possible... Back in the day they would have no label with the cone mills... But it's such a good buy. Will be one of the last release with white oak

[@27Finbarr]

@@CeeAreDee I’ll upload some pics to Instagram over the coming days and send you a link. Yeah a nice purchase. Pricey, but it was the ‘last of a dying breed’ thing that made me click ‘order now’! A bit of me wants to wear them, but the rational side of my brain is saying ‘do not touch’ and keep safe! We’ll see.

[@cscearce2000]

I’m grateful for this video

[@CeeAreDee]

You’re welcome.

[@mohamedrahmouni9494]

I really enjoyed that video of Carl ,and your video too ,just one thing ,no one talk about the repair of the denim 😅 , big thanks I always enjoy your video ✌️

[@lawrenceh7182]

He’s done a video of repairs bro

[@CeeAreDee]

Thanks Mohamed. Super happy you enjoy the vids. Lawrence is right. There is a video all about repairs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2SceWhpfstoaNE kzbin.info/www/bejne/laTGZIupgJuYj9U

[@lawrenceh7182]

Just realised that may have looked rude Mohamed, apologies if it did. The video is well worth a watch as always my friend.

[@mattriney6072]

Matt's looking like Walter Sobchak in those glasses

[@n3verm1ndlol]

Love your rings too man! Can you do a video about vintage rings etc?

[@CeeAreDee]

I am chatting to a dude in Mexico city right now, he has quite a collection. And I was thinking to try and do something with him.

[@CarlosValentor]

Also bootcut cut won’t hold the cuff very well as the bottom is wider than the top so it won’t hold itself, if that makes any sense

[@CeeAreDee]

Totally does. And youre right. Would make a little upside down flare shape. Weird.

[@Ives1776]

I actually like that they come long, I'm a tall dude, but if they were too tall for me that's also feeding the tailoring industry for me to have them hemmed.

[@CeeAreDee]

Very true.

[@oyster_3694]

Great job! Very informative!

[@CeeAreDee]

Thanks mate. Appreciate that.

[@Wsherwoodking]

Big fan of your videos dude (and Carl's) keep it up. P.s on the mention of denim specific detergent, any European/UK brands you recommend or do you use a supermarket off the shelf detergent?

[@bobzuidema3560]

Great video, nothing new there because you rock! But 25oz on a pair of Iron Heart jeans is perfect comfort, no problem whatsoever.

[@Andres-qg4rd]

Hola, disculpa que despierte este post, mi consulta: meterlos a la lavadora con centrifugado incluido o solo hasta el enjuague?

[@CeeAreDee]

Sorry Carlos. My Spanish isn’t that good. What was it ?

[@Andres-qg4rd]

@@CeeAreDee to wash jeans in the washing machine, does it hace to be a full cycle including spin?. Or are they taken directly from the rinse to hang? Very good channel, by the way I see the videos that hace subtitles. Congratulacions!

[@David-ku2uu]

Great fun...thanks Matt (and Carl).

[@jonathanpforr3844]

Just grabbed my first pair of 21oz from brave star and they feel it! 32oz now thats insane must be like wearing carpet!! 😂

[@jurgenbrandt642]

I have the 25oz Sumo III and it feels brilliant. I'm a bit scared to switch back to my 14/15oz Bravestars. Think anxiety will vanish when the temperature rises ;-)

[@liljuanito123]

Their 21oz is more comfortable than the lower weights for me. Jonathan, you'll be amazed at how soft they will get. Still breaking the 25oz ones, we'll see how it goes. So far a lot more time to break in than the 21oz.

[@isai1331]

Thanks, I learned a lot today ! 👍

[@CeeAreDee]

You're welcome mate. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@nephtalilucero8084]

How much should one account for shrinkage? I was going to cut mine a little at the tailor. I dont like it too bulky. Thanks!

[@henkkman]

Great video! 👏

[@CeeAreDee]

Thanks Henri :)

[@n3verm1ndlol]

Thanks for the knowledge bro! 👍👍👍

[@CeeAreDee]

Any time! Actually learned a lot of it from Carl 😂

[@RGary_Hall]

Btw, the coin pocket is actually a watch pocket. What? You don’t have a pocket watch for your watch pocket? 😉

[@CeeAreDee]

I’ve got a pocket watch. Too big for the watch pocket tho.

[@RGary_Hall]

Dann finden Sie einen etwa kleiner. Sehr edel 😎

[@MikiBlue]

Great video. My suggestion to you please. Can you build an image! The theme of the subject is -“Rugged”. What jeans What jacket What boots What .....,, Makes an image of a man “Rugged”. Cheers Michael

[@CeeAreDee]

Good plan Miki. Going to put that on the list.

Are there any selvedge bell bottom jeans?

[@ChristianCadena12]

Love the video but might I ask why you haven't reviewed or talked about brave star selvedge It's usa made with a few options using cone denim I have 13.75 ounce denim jeans with cone selvedge And a denim type III denim jacket with 15 ounce cone denim and I highly recommend getting either before there cone stock is all gone

[@CeeAreDee]

Hey Christian. They actually get a mention on the video I've scheduled for Friday. But the reason ive not done a deeper dive is that they are almost impossible to get in Europe. The delivery options on the site are really discouraging for international customers which is really a shame. I'm super curious about them.

[@ChristianCadena12]

@@CeeAreDee we also need to look out for vidalia mills coming out with a left field collaboration

[@UltimateAleks]

Hey man, I am new in this selvedge raw denim scene and would be really grateful if you could point me on some online stores in EU which have good quality raw denims for fair price.

[@felixmarihessenauer3158]

Hey! I'm a beginner as well and I got my first pair of selvedge denim from Benzak. They do really cool stuff also not too expensive. I have another pair which I bought from l'exception (French store). They have pairs from all kinds of brands. Edwin, Nudie, Naked and Famous... Let me know if it does help!

[@andrewc9790]

How far from "raw" is Levi's shrink to fit and Wranglers Rigid 13mwz???

[@CeeAreDee]

Before the shrink. Levi’s are 100% raw. Even after the shrink they are 99.99% raw. As for the Wranglers. Not too sure. I don’t think they have any 100% raw jeans in the lineup at the moment sadly.

[@andrewc9790]

@@CeeAreDeeI could be very wrong, but if Levi's are considered raw prior to shrink, I'd think Wranglers "rigid" is as well but it's sanforized. I've seen some pretty awesome fades from them. But, from old guys who don't care and just wear them to death. Thanks!

[@CeeAreDee]

@@andrewc9790 wrangler is a very different brand over here in Europe than the US for sure. It’s more of a fashion brand over here. we don’t have all of the models so I’ve never come across the rigid.

Skinny aka Rockstar jeans need to go.

[@namebrandmason]

Everybody wants to pretend like they didn't wear boot cut? Please. . . I went to the high school through the JNCO years. I had jeans with pockets large enough to carry a skateboard.

Haha. You and me both.
