loose top block, nice taper and doesn't make your fat ass look like a carrot.

Presumably good quality denim and MiJ.

18k yen. Sounds good?

I need a little bit of stretch in my denim now adays. I forget about that when I get lured back into 100% raw denim, haha.

measurements are pretty readily available. probably gonna take a punt!

denim doesn't need elastane if it's not like hardcore workwear type denim.. especially if the fit is not SF 2010 APC sized down 4

I've got big quads and hamstrings so when I sit they expand like 3x, haha. I have to go pretty darn anti fit to sit comfortably in denim, so straight loose fit with a bit of stretch is where I'm at.

Levi’s 501 CT Cone Mills Selvedge is what you’re looking for @Coldsnap Less that $100 new on eBay. Caveat: some have pretty narrow leg openings, so ask for measurements.

Edit: sorry, you were asking about PE sweater.

I've already failed at not buying anything this year, so I'm taking a much more realistic approach of no net gain in clothes this year. Maybe I can even reduce my closet a bit.

I think people just realized it stands out like a sore thumb, and they aren't rich enough or they don't love the style enough to not care what other people think when they wear full Rick/goth-ninja all the time.

Im interested in scraping SZ's numbers and posts over last few years normalized using SF's numbers/posts to see how the style/general avant garde is doing, but I am way too lazy.

@baltimoron do it

Pretty much. I liked it, but not enough to be the dude in a corporate setting who dressed like a complete weirdo. Goth ninja got annoying

Try Resolute 710 for a basic jean. Been wearing a pair nearly daily for two years and I love the fit
