Im on mobile and apologize for the formatting. Okay, so I work residential construction and love beating the fuck outta my jeans. Almost as much as I love beating myself up over cringy things I did in middle school but I digress. Jeans were made for manual labor, weren't they? So fuck it, I just got my tax return in and want to buy some new denim for when I go back to work in a couple weeks. I want everyone to come through to upvote or mention what you want to see get faded and abused. Of course there are some parameters.
$300 USD budget. I'm in the US. I'm trying to not make it too cheap but jesus god I already bought a $450 pair of iron hearts and I cant do that to myself again... yet. 300 bucks or less please.
They have to be around the ballpark of 13 inch thighs and a 34ish inch waist. I'm short and fat. A little lenient with the waist (going bigger I mean) as I wear a belt. I dont feel like having to workout to put my jawns on as putting on socks is challenging enough. I'd prefer no bootcut and a leg opening above 7 inches to allow myself to cover my boots.
Weight doesn't matter. I love pain. If you wanna see some 21oz knee breakers get treated like a red headed step child, I gotchu.
Lets keep the warp indigo. Indigo x indigo is fine. Colored weft is cool too.
Sanforized, unsanforized, doesn't matter to me. I know enough to size em and shrink em if need be.
I won't be using rakuten or anything. Just sites like blue owl, self edge, okayama denim, and websites of the brand themselves. If you can add a link, that's cool, if not, then I'll just look around and price match a little bit. Help me out a little if you can though!
If you wanna see me abuse some expensive japanese denim, let me know. If you wanna see fast faders like ub221 or 321, throw in a comment. Maybe you want to see a pair with weft made of twisted poodle fur dyed in hamster blood. Doesn't matter. If it's within the parameters, I'm on it. I'll wear these everyday and try to go as long as possible without washing them. With my gap selvedge, that lasted about 2-3 months. So, what do you guys wanna see?
Edit: just wanted to say thank you to everyone giving suggestions!! and that I will be deciding on say, monday or tuesday? Probably on monday if the thread starts to stagnate. Will post a final update around then stating what you guys chose and a new post when they arrive. Thanks again!
Edit #2: looks like I'll be buying the TCB Waist Overalls! I'll be doing an initial review when I get them. Thanks everyone for participating.
