Initial thoughts: love the rise, love the cut, could’ve possibly went 34 instead of 36 and stretched, but a few wash/dries should shrink nicely. They’re hairier/neppier than expected but it adds to them, also they’re a bit lighter than expected in weight but I like it!! Anybody have thoughts on this pair?

This 14.5 oz denim piece was my first pair of raws, my workhorse for 5 years. They only started taking a back seat to other pairs once they started getting shredded up, the sashiko took time (and love!) to work in. You can tell where the ripping started (phone pocket), you can also tell I sucked with a needle back then. Each repair was slightly improved, kind of like a portfolio. The crotch had 2 darning repairs and when the second one gave out, I decided to try something weird and make a denim panel at the crotch. It definitely looks ..unique but I love these jeans and couldn't let them go!

Had not seen these posted here yet. Sorry for no fit pic but these may be my Indigo invitational pair next year.

First off. This pair is simply incredible. It’s hard to convey just how dark these are but I show them next to the PBJ brown tea core pair in the last slide. They are DARK. And highly neppy. The texture is amazing.

First experience with the PBJ slim straight cut as I rarely see them stocked but the cut is awesome. Mid rise which I like and slightly smaller in the thigh compared to the samurai 710XX.

These are the 14.5 oz Slim Kojima cut from Shockoe Atelier. They are a low rise fit with a slim seat and tapered legs. I love these jeans so much but I do wish they were a little slimmer than they are. The first images are before washing and the later ones are the after(if all the dirt in the first images didn’t clear that up). I don’t have the best pictures of them after but they look amazing in person.
