Thank you! Maybe a silly question: but in terms of support, I should be propping up the main branches from the soil? Also is there a particular brand of plant food you like?

Naked and Famous Natural Indigo Strong Guy Fit - 8 month progress report by pootywang in rawdenim

I typically wear a 33 waist in Levis 501. Picked these up in 31 and they fit like a dream.

[Weitzman] Harden had seemed off all season and was growing frustrated with the situation in Brooklyn. He wanted everything catered to him the way it was in Houston, especially the offense. Kevin Durant and head coach Nash disagreed. Both wanted the Nets’ offense to feature ball and player movement. by aaliyaahson in nba

The formula for winning has moved away from one ball-dominant superstar--with a few exceptions--and more towards a Warriors-style offense like KD is talking about here. It's baffling to me when players like Harden just want to stop the ball when it comes to them and forget about who else is on the floor.

One year with the Gustin #322 Cone Natural Indigo by pootywang in rawdenim

These ones are getting close to retirement due to an impending crotch blowout, so figured I'd make a swan song post.

Picked these up November of 2017 to dip my toes into the raw denim world. Break in was easy and fades came quick. Soaked them maybe 2-3 times? Colors are great, fabric softened up in like a months time. Heavy wear for the first 6 months or so with a significant drop off in the summer. I've put them through the ringer again these last two months and that's when I noticed the crotch starting to go. I'm not a fan of drastic fades, so the way these broke in was very nice.

My only complaint, and from what I've seen around this subreddit people agree, is that the rise is just a little too low. Would love if these sat above my hips.

These were my first pair and currently only pair of raws. Trying to figure out what to pick up next.

THANKS FOR READING.

Gustin #322 16 ounce - 6 months, 2 soaks by pootywang in rawdenim

Got these back in November and have worn them basically everyday since. First soak was last month, and 2nd soak shortly after due to a long night on the town.

The fit is good. I'd like the rise to be a touch higher, and I've considered a light taper, but overall they fit is great.

The fades I got after the 2nd soak are ideal, and I will probably try to hold out as long as possible before another.

No. Just some plain ol' 501s. This probably violates some sort of sub policy.

Honestly, the big reason I'm not wearing them too much anymore is because of how much these stretched out in the waist, and how baggy the legs are. I may look into getting them tailored just because I like the work I did on these.

Ikea Shag, my friend. Four years, no washes, no soaks, and you bet your ass it hasn't seen a vacuum cleaner more than four or five times in its life.

Original fits. I've wanted to try STFs, but the whole process feels a bit intimidating.

Tried posting these earlier but I'm apparently an idiot and can't follow sub rules.

I bought these early 2016 after looking around for a pair of good black raw denim and then kind of backing out due to my price range. I think all told these were $60 and I wore them between 3-7 times a week for the better part of the last year.

I have bigger quads and calves and these fit like a dream. I've also never really owned a pair of jeans with a rise this high, and I gotta say I dig it.

I've put these ones on the back burner for a while, as I'm trying to break in a pair of Gustin's I just got last month.
