I'm the same way. Unlike most, I don't ever want to see any wear/patina on my raw jeans.

anyways, my rotation hasnt changed much, other than what jean gets the most wear.

For a long time my Finns were on top of the rotation, but right now I'm REALLY into my Levis Cap E Stacked SKinnies that I had hemmed so they cant be stacked (yea I know, it's defeating the purpose blah blah). I just love the fit on them thru the legs, and hips, butt, waist. So they're #1

Julian Red cali got put aside for a few months, but now they're back with a vengeance and coming in at #2

April 77 Sinner is my #3, as I like the grayblue color for a changeup

from there it's dependent on mood and that's where the Finns are along with LVC 1966, Glory, other Nudie

Yeah, I wore my Greenlines a lot and they're starting to get some wear

I'm annoyed because they might be my favorite pair of dry jeans, really comfortable and I love the color. I've probably worn them about 15 times and they are getting the slightest amount of fading near the pockets

Every pair I own was raw or one wash when I got them, but some are a lot more worn than others. I don't care about wearing one pair to death. In the end they wear out before you're ready for them to be gone and you wish they were darker again.

Heavy Rotation:
Studio D'Artisan SD-105
Samurai S505XX
Ande Whall Grifters

Medium Rotation
Denime 66 Black

Occasional wear
-5ep Low Down Boot (these would be my faves it they weren't too big)
-LVC 47, about 10 years old and well faded
-Vintage 505's
-Levi's 501 oddball one-off version with leather patch and premium denim, from Fred Segal
-APC Rescue
-Denime (not sure of model - skinny cut selvedge, discontinued)
 

Tokyo Slim

My current rotation is counter clockwise.
I find it more satisfying.

I love these threads because they make me feel better about having more than two jeans in play. I love a good, authentic fade, so my goal is still to beat the crap out of my jeans as much as possible.

4/5 days a week:
-PBJ xx005

2/3 days a week:
-Nudie RRDS--after tailoring the leg opening, my slim but antifit jeans.
-Nudie RRDG--these are actually nearing "completed" status after another wash. Give it a couple weeks for the immediate post-wash fading and I'll take pics. They were my former 4-5 day/week pair until the new baby came along.

Occasional:
-APC NS--they've just stretched too much, so now they're pretty much strictly my comfort/dirty work jeans.
-Levis 514 rigid--nice fit, keeping them raw-looking. My PBJ's fit pretty similarly, so honestly these won't see much play for a long time.
-various washed jeans that I still have, though to be honest I pretty much never wear them anymore. Mostly just a pair of PDCs from a couple years ago.

Until Feb 7th:

RRL slimcut 80%
rb15s 10% (wore them around today)
BDg 5% (still waiting for them to fade even a little)
Club Monaco 5% (need to break them in)

After the RRL's get their first wash, the rb's will take their place in solid rotation.

In heavy rotation:

5EP raw bootcuts (now washed a few times - they show scarcely any wear, except a bit around the crotch and pockets and at the knees)

Nudie Straight Svens: decided that these jeans fit me nearly perfectly. They fit regular but slim through the top block and legs, and the hem (unwashed) is a perfect length for me. Lowish Rise suits my body type better than any of my other jeans. They fit really well (I can see that, and I've been told) and are also very comfortable. And I find Nudie denim pretty durable (well, then they often suffer catastrophic breakdown for some reason, unlike, say 5EPs), but whatever. No, not the most exciting denim ever, but the fit is amazing.

SDA D1002 - great fit and remarkable color. They are a little slimmer than the other two pairs. Not really super slim, but fitted enough around the crotch and thighs that I can't really do a full out sprint in them or jump a fence without a little apprehension.

On less frequent rotation:

JohnBull SC007: Really nice fit. I would say that they are about on par with the SDA D1002, and just slightly under the Svens (on me). The really treu denim color prevents them from being my go to jean, however. They work for relaxed looks, and with brown/earth tones better than blacks and greys.

Spurr Raw Classic fit: superlative denim - completely smooth and remarkable saturated color - sort of goes against the fad on the boards for really slubbly denim. Gimmicks out the wazoo: selvedge pocket, selvedge back pocket looks, selvedge crotch (who really needs that?), lined back pockets, hidden rivets, all custom hardware, fine herringbone fabric (really nice, actually, for\\ the pockets instead of the usual cotton twill, the whole 9 yards. However, while the tp block fits me perfectly, I wish that they had a slightly less straight leg. Not by much. An 1/2 inch to an inch from knee to hem would be great. They should have tapered down from the thighs to the knees a little more. But very comfortable, really unique looking, and looks great for warmer toned outfits.

APC New Standards: great everyday jean, although the Svens have taken over that role. Cheap, durable, generally goes with most things. A great, slouchy (I wear a size 29, and my true size is 30, so a 29 APC is a relaxed, antifit on me) jean to wear on weekends and for beat around jobs.
