Indigofera Kains just arrived. I like the high rise and boot-friendly opening!

Thanks for the love, though I admit I have more than I realistically should. I'm not really into acquiring "sick fades" so everything gets worn in regular rotation. I'm more interested in colors, textures, construction details, and/or backstories. I've broken things out between domestic and Japanese brands, so here's two pics.Brah, you have so much style when it comes to jeans! It’s a joy to see how alive this thread feels. Reading this thread makes me want to buy more jeans to explore, and I’ve been a denimhead for 15 years. I just haven’t bought jeans in years.
May I see your entire jeans+pants collection in one photo?
Nice! I have the same Civilinaire pair in Red. I’ve also tried Levi’s, RRL, N&F, Stronghold, and Soso. Before that, I owned a lot of 7 for All Mankind and True Religion.Thanks for the love, though I admit I have more than I realistically should.

I also have some Gustin 604 Rainbow Nep Canvas on order that should hopefully ship next week, and a pair of Wrangler 13MWZ for slumming.
That was fun to see the collection laid out and itemized! Cool idea
I started my journey with N&F and have more recently focused on Japanese brands. My heaviest pairs are the N&F Elephant 5 and IH 824, both at 21oz. The IH are woven pretty tight and feel darn near ****** proof, so at present I don't have a desire to seek out anything heavier. The only exception would be if I could snag a pair of N&F King of Lords, which I think was 25oz. That's a grail piece for me, but it's pretty much unobtanium. I think I've only ever seen two or three pairs come up for sale on the second-hand market, and none were in my size.Nice! I have the same Civilinaire pair in Red.

I went to Self Edge and tried on various denims. The one that spoke to me the most was SDA D1712, due to my preference for the 7” or lower hem opening. Ever since, I’ve been on the binge of SDA’s various fabrics in the same cut.
I still want to try IH 21oz (too expensive), Samurai 25oz, and Oni secret denim (haven’t gotten around to it, I own too many jeans). I’m really into heavyweight denim, which was where I stopped my denim craze. This thread is reviving that passion!
FWIW, I don’t think 12+1 pairs is a lot of denim if you wear them all. I’m still into fades so I try to focus on just 1 pair, at most 2, to work on and wear continuously. The number of jeans I own is in the 2 digits, I don’t keep count.
I was hoping for a slow drip so that I could keep the thread going, but I guess I've shot my wad. Now I'm spent and got nothing left to contribute.That was fun to see the collection laid out and itemized! Cool idea

I'm a big fan of SDA. Heritage of the Osaka 5 but pushes the boundaries with more progressive designs. I only have the one pair of jeans but I have two of their denim jackets as well, the matching Rain Kasuri Type I and the Sashiko Type II.
Putting that sewing machine to work!!!Naked and famous “strong guy”. I altered the basic wide leg jean to fit more like the original US Navy dungaree, Hemmed to a 32” inseam as well. Happy with the result. Have a black pair on the way. Sorry for the feet. View attachment 733589
*presented without irony.
Tailoring my stuff is about all I can do but it’s nice taking something and changing it to fit your needs. 1/2” out of each outer side seam from the hip to the knee did the trick and it’s totally undetectable!Putting that sewing machine to work!!!
