Honestly if you wear a denim jacket pretty often a new raw or selvedge one will fade fairly quick. I might suggest trying Benzak if you're ballin' on a budget. They're EU based and pretty good.Thank you a lot for the great advice! I actually looked around a bit after your suggestion, but it seems to be kinda hard to find something like that here in the mainland-EU (Even worse in my size). I feel like Etsy has a higher chance of having something, I should definitely keep on looking over there…
I think this is like 8 years too late. That said, my Escobar sweatpants I bought in 2014 still have life in them. Albeit my gf wears them now for coffee runsDon’t a lot of celebs like John Elliot?

I always soak my raw stuff once to get rid of the excess indigo before I wear em. Seems to help a lot with that.But isn’t a raw denim jacket quite a hassle to wear? I got some raw Jeans and on some of them, the bleeding is absolutely insane. I would live in fear that it might stain all the lighter-colored tees I would wear underneath it.
I’m actually sorry for this one. Amiri is truly horrendousDamn, y’all made me look up this Amiri mess
@dieworkwear jokes aside, you do any blogs or have thoughts on sneakers?
You look at the new Rick Owens x Converse?
Ann D often makes good high tops.
I used to do a "Ten Great Sneakers for Spring" post every year until COVID hit. The styles generally center around Put This On type styles (so classic or classic adjacent).

Also wrote a post about retro-runners, but that goes with a sort of Rugged Ivy look that I'm not sure is your thing.

And then a post about sneakers I personally wear.
Favorite Sneakers This Summer — Die, Workwear!
It’s hard for me to imagine going without a pair of sneakers this time of year. Summer is about having the windows down and volume up, biking somewhere on a hot afternoon, and hanging your feet off a picnic bench while BBQ-ing with friends. Camp moccasins and penny loafers can be great for these...dieworkwear.com
I tried to get a pair of those ALD x New Balance 550s in green but wasn't able to get a pair and don't want to pay resale price. I think they look great though.
Would be interested in thoughts on the RO x Converse when you get them. Post a fit pic if you can.
The only sneakers I currently rock are Salomon trail and road runners. Honestly they rock, look good, versatile and I use em both for fashion and for exercise.
I think if I bought any new sneakers in the high fashion realm, it would be the visvim skagways even though they are just fancy converse. If I see a good deal I may jump on em in the future
