i was thinking of getting GAP's Gough jeans, but noticed they were rinsed denim rather than the raw denim i was looking for. Will the rinsed denim still mold/form to my body with infrequent wash like raw denim does? I say this because I don't have a chance to try on any raw denim in stores around where I live and would really want to get my hands on some.

Rinsed denim will generally be almost the same as raw. However, it also depends on the denim itself whether it will really mold to fit you. I don't know how the Gough denim is, but I think there was a thread on them...

The only thing raw has over jeans is shine and indigo. Always base your choice of jeans on the fit and construction.

^^ actualy, the only thing raw has is the shine. rinsed or one wash should have the same amount of indigo unless they are poorly dyed.

all jeans will mold to your body if they are properly fitted and you wear them for extended periods of time... even acid washed levis.
