Beginner's Guide To Denim

[adamm411]

GQ's December issue has a beginner's guide to premium denim. It has concise discussions of selvage, of how to clean premium denim and a few other important issues. It answers most basic questions and gives you a pictorial guide of representative brands in raw denim.

It really summarizes the info that people here assume as basic knowledge. I like raw denim's strong points: custom fit and distress marks; individuality is important. However, I don't really want to "think" about my denim. Just wear and occasionally wash when absolutely necessary.

btw, the matchstick levis look really nice.

Beyond issues of sizing, which are more frustrating and often impenetrable than they should be, you really don't need to "think" about dry denim. They're just jeans. As you said, wear and wash when absolutely necessary. That's all.

I also like the Matchstick's look. I wonder why I never heard about it around here
I was kind've glad to see APC placed first but it kind've gives you that "it's not so exclusive anymore" feeling. The Guilded Age and Tsubi jeans weren't very nice to look at though..
