I typically buy jeans that don't have the yellow stitching and want to try out some of this raw denim everyone talks about. Is there a brand/model that has white or some non-yellow/orange stitching?

I'm afraid you're out of luck. Check the 28th Amendment, yellow/orange is mandatory.

It's referred to as contrast stitching and I agree with you that sometimes it would be fresh to see a pair with either a natural or white or even indigo colored threading. Nudie had a pair that did this (might have been black) and the KMW x Revolves were like that but those were definitely black. I don't give much thought to it most of the time but it would be nice to see something different.

Hmm, those Iron Army raw's do look interesting. These seem to be California only. Anyone know of a NYC place to take a look?

Yeah I could have sworn I tried on a pair of Nudie Even Stevens at Matthew Izzo that featured dark blue stitching (thus it blended in with the denim). Can't recall for sure, though.

if you like a skinny fit, the new dior 17.5cm sheer jeans are raw and use tonal stitching. i have a pair and really like them as a more polished looking pair of jeans. if you want less expensive options i am certain that nudies has made several raw indigo pairs in the past with tonal stitch, though i haqve no idea if anything current has that.
