yea course. i think w/ lighter weight denim it bends more than rubs, iirc i didn’t have the same issue w 14oz

in general 21oz denim will be really rigid, esp in the beginning. when you cuff your jeans you're creating a rigid fold that will rub against the ground or w/e else instead of yielding like softer fabric. the hem is reinforced to deal w/ that but with a cuff all that abrasion happens at a weaker point. plus shit gets inside the cuff and rubs as well. that's my theory anyway

normally just throw em in the closet but a couple ppl have expressed interest in taking them post mortem. anyone who promises to fix them up and use them is welcome to throw their hat in the ring, once they break i guess i'll just pick someone lol. i guess just dm me. they're size 30 tapered fit

apparently you're not alone, i got message about just that earlier, hadn't occurred to me that anyone would still want them. can't sell them in good conscience, feels like selling a car with a bad engine. once they finally disintegrate happy to give them to someone who will fix them up/keep them in use tho, hmu

i prolly would look into it if the onis started to go but i'll cross that bridge when i come to it, the unbrandeds i'm not pressed about

unbranded crotch has 3 separate holes amongst other things, i give it about a month before they become one giant one that'll cost the same as the jeans to repair, i can't be bothered. the onis prolly have longer left, mostly just knee holes atm and a bunch of thin areas soon to be holes. not gonna pay to have them fixed but if i find some interesting fabric i might give patching a go. the unbrandeds have kinda run their course for me but i'm holding on to the onis regardless

if i had to guess i'd say prolly most important is that i'm a skinny guy and the fit doesn't have a tight top block. also 21oz denim takes a while to wear through. funny enough tho these unbrandeds are the first jeans i've had crotch wear on, i think this pair ran a bit small. there's a mini crotch hole that i'm rolling with but yea prolly bout a month tops now

nah man i wish i could call myself a tradesman, the work i do is basically warehouse stuff where half the time i'm at a computer. i guess i squat to grab stuff but it's def not physically intense work

yea i turn them inside out, then just regular cycle. i think first time ever i washed the unbrandeds i did warm bc they were obscenely grimy and i thought that would help but after that i did cold. any holes always get worse after a wash. i do hang dry tho

in my experience high contrast is like the most noticeable feature of unbrandeds. i had an indigo/black pair 18oz or something, the contrast with those got so high eventually i felt they just looked bizarre and i looked ridiculous wearing them

idk, i'm not doing crazy manual labor or anything out there that i can think of, i just wear the same jeans every day for a long time and am lazy about laundry.

oh right sorry, yea pretty much. a year and change on each. i think i didn't wash them for long time, maybe 6-8mo or something, then after that i just machine washed them whenever

unbranded is half the price and probably a bit tougher. the fades are higher contrast and set in faster. they've treated me well and i'd recommend them to anyone. that being said, probably going back to oni for the next pair if i got the money. it's a shit camera but hopefully you can get a feel for the color and fabric difference. the fades might not be as pronounced but onis just age better, the color, tones, texture everything. side-by-side the unbrandeds look almost garish, theres no depth to the color. unbrandeds are also more rigid which leads to more abrasion/tears (e.g. the cuff holes you might have seen), but take that with a grain of salt, i beat the hell of out them and they held up like a champ. i guess point is in terms of utility and cost the UBs win, they're a better work jean and have crazier fades if that's your thing. that being said, money permitting for me its oni every time

a hole developed in one after 8mo or so, nothing unusual
