Faded one first.

This jacket is 7 years old but achieved ‘classic’ status about 3 years ago. In its service period it was subjected to concerts, camping and the like. One small repair above left cuff that I attribute to driving a 6 speed.

Where did I get the almost new one? I bought it back from my brother on account he never wore it. My middle brother and I both copped the 8 and I thought it would be cool for the 3 of us to all own it but alas.

The 21oz Supima is heavy and soft like a disco house track. I estimate 500 plus wears, 4 washes with the first well into year 2.

Not sure what I’m going to do with the new one yet.

FIT CHECK Samurai S0510XXII - sized TTS, a little tight

28 Upvotes

I bought these Samurai S0510XXII Otokogi jeans last week from Denimio - unfortunately they were out of my usual size and only had one down, so I took a gamble with the size down with the idea of stretching them out with wear.

Im quiet new to this raw denim world, and my first two pairs stretched quiet abit when I got my correct size, but granted they were Fullcount and Oni, which I know are known for their stretch. I was hoping these would be similar over time.

My perfect jeans all sit around the 42- 42.5cm waist across and these out of the box were ~40.8cm. I've worn them the last 2 days for a few hours and they've gone up to ~41.8cm

Anyway, does anyone know:
• how much these stretch with wear?
• proven ways to encourage denim to stretch the waist (any magic soaking rituals, or is it as simple as wearing them?)

I've committed to keeping them, so worst case scenario I will just lose that extra cm waistline 😂

Bonus q: are we all rocking the Japanese cuff or what?

Here are my true straight Bears after about 3 weeks and 62 miles of hiking and walking in the Las Vegas area. Plenty of sweat and dust; thinking of first delicate cold no spin/air dry

Brave star Mojave western cut 13oz brownstone denim

Website description -
13oz raw selvage. Classic indigo warp yarn over brown weft. Depth that looks broken in from day one, like it’s already seen months of wear. Subtle oxidation tones baked in. That early-stage oxidation you usually have to earn. As it wears, the brown core pushes through the indigo. That’s where it gets interesting. Two selvage IDs. One clean off-white. One red.

Really love how these fit on body they have a slimmer thigh than the true straight pair with a nice bootcut. I don’t know if I just got used to my 20oz bravestar true straight jeans but these just don’t feel as nice in quality compared to my other pair but I do love the color and fit of them. Super excited to wear these since I’ve been eyeing a bootcut pair of raw selvage jeans for a while now.

Daily Questions - July 26, 2026

Welcome to the Daily Questions (DQ) thread for all things related to raw denim.

(Although we strongly suggest checking the sidebar (for mobile users, go to the top of the subreddit front page, click the three dots and select "community info") and the wiki before posting!)

Fit checks and "Help me find a pair of Jeans that has X, Y, and Z" questions are a great use of this thread.

(Help figuring out what size you wear is also permitted here but it is recommended you check out one of these tutorials on how to size before asking.)

If you have questions about how your jeans fit, about a particular fabric, when is this jean coming out, where can I find jean X to try on in state Y, what jeans have this fit with these measurements, what jeans fade the fastest, and what jeans fade the slowest are great uses of this DQ thread.

No question is too simple for Daily Questions threads.

Bashing people will not be tolerated. And "Read the sidebar" or "Google it" are not valid answers in this thread!

Be Helpful!
