I've been mulling over my next pair of selvedge jeans and have decided I wanted black since it's missing in my wardrobe. I've narrowed my choices down to either a pair of Rogue Territory Stealth Stantons or the Naked & Famous sulphur dyed black selvedge. The biggest difference between the two of course is cost, but more than anything i'm looking at fit. I'm probably leaning towards N&F based on BOW's fit guide. However, the fit for N&F weird guy seems inconsistent between styles so i've held off buying anything.

I've also wanted a black button-up shirt but still have not found anything of interest. I'm either looking for a black Western style shirt or a worker style shirt. However, i'm not quite ready to spend a ton of money on a shirt as I am with denim or outerwear.

If you guys have any recommendations i'm all ears.

I like black shirts a lot. Love my Iron Heart IHSH08SS Very thick though.
Like black jeans also. I have the G Black 2.

Depending on what type of black, deep black or like G's Black2 etc which have some texture, that you like.
I see there are Cone Blacks in G's Stock Store. A black button down shirt in there too.

Your choices are great also. Whatever you can get the best deal on.

Likewise with Taylor Stitch.

They are stout and BLACK AF. (And not nearly as smelly as they used to be)

Great fabric... mine still have a faint sulphur smell to them but I always quite liked it.
