Since I began my selvedge binge I've picked up 2 pairs of each pair that I own. At first I figured why not get 2 of the same pairs, I will eventually wear them, but now I just where 1 of each pair. Plus the funds wasn't an issue for me since I work hard for my money. So I might be posting up a 2 pairs of Levi's 511, 1 pair of Left fields, 1 of Brave Star (that's currently getting tailored from a slim straight to slim tapered), and a pair of Raleigh Denim work shop. The Levi's and left fields are new w/ tags. The Brave star is also new without tags, but is getting tailored to become a slim tapered fit and the Raleigh Denim workshop is a used pair (worn 2/3 times if you count the initial try on) all of the pairs are a 36 waist size. The only pair that is altered are the brave star. No washes or soaks on any pairs as well.
Let me know if you're interested. I'll upload photos of them all during the week.

Good man, I knew you'd come to your senses. I was just thinking about your practice and realized that of all my jeans, I only have one pair that I'd replace exactly if my kid painted them, I had some sort of scattalogical disaster or the masked jean thief struck.

Next you'll learn that you can only wear so many jeans and it takes a year to eighteen months of pretty consistent wear to really break in a pair.
I think we all start with hoarding and then start to cull back. I have a summer pair and a winter pair of indigo with contrast stitching in rotation. Everything else is non traditional. I may add one more pair of "tweeners" for good measure.

I may add one more pair of "tweeners" for good measure. I think I'm getting close to that part (talking about the oz). I have 13-16oz raws. But would like to get at least 2 more light weights which I consider them to be a 13-14oz. Once the winter hits again I'll pickup an 18oz. |

I live in Texas and have 11oz RgT and 22oz Oni. I also have a pair of olive 20oz Oni and 20oz Ciano in rotation. Curious about the upcoming 12oz Oni or the 14oz OD Iron Hearts if they come in Self Edge's 633 cut.
The Momo blue wefts are 13oz, and Oni has both a 14oz and 17oz indigo x indigo that should wear pretty lightly due to the loose weave.

This is my breakdown: Fitted underground 13.5oz Raleigh Denim 12.5oz (thought it was a 13oz. Had to look it up) Left Field NYC 16oz Levis 511 (I'm guessing STF, still not sure what "STF" means) about a 13/14oz update: I know what STF means now, thank you google lol. My 511 are not STF. Brave Star 14oz |

STF is Shrink to Fit, aka Unsanforized.

STF is Shrink to Fit, aka Unsanforized. I just looked it up. The tag never mentioned STF either. Just white oak cone and 100% cotton. |

           Here are the photos of each pair of denim. Sorry for the bad order. As you can see 3 pairs are brand new with tags. Which are both Levi's and the left Field. The Raleigh have been used 3 times which includes the initial try on. None of them have been soaked washed or altered in anyway. The brave stars aren't posted since I haven't picked them up from the tailor yet. Now as for prices: Brand new w/ tags Left Field retails for $240, BIN is $165 Brand new w/ tags Both Levi's retail for $128, BIN is $75 each pair. 8.5(9)/10 condition Raleigh Denim workshop retails for $285, BIN is $145. Each price includes shipping and the PayPal fee which is 4%. Please let me know If you are interested. If so shoot me a PM with your PayPal info and I will send you the PayPal invoice. Thank you. (FYI I will also be posting this on Reddit tomorrow.) |

Indeed, I'll take the loss on losing most of the funds since I'm selling them at a discounted rate. |

I may add one more pair of "tweeners" for good measure. I haven't purchased jeans in about a year because I have over a dozen pair, most of which don't get worn. I got sucked in by fleabay and sales and have learned not to make denim impulse purchases anymore, especially now that I have my fit dialed in. I have instead been buying more flannel shirts than anything but this was an area that was lacking in my wardrobe. In hindsight, I wished I had shown more restraint with jean purchases and now I have several pairs where I'm going, "what the hell was I thinking?" There was a brief period last summer where I was hooked on G's denim releases, but that gradually tapered off when they're offerings tapered off. I also couldn't justify buying new jeans from them when I have unworn pairs in my closet. I figured I was 1 step away from being a full blown hoarder. |
