Re: Denim

Also, raw denim avoids the treatment that most jeans got through to look aged. Waste of water and harsh chemicals are used.

Re: Denim

So high level question. What's the overall benefit to selvedge? Other than spending 10x. Too lazy to sift thru 200 posts. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk IMO selvedge is better quality than more model denim. Raw denim is unlike your clasp. The wear and tear is unique to you. As for manufacturi...

I usually order from Holbens.
I don't see straps that are for deployants here, I'm pretty sure the IWC strap tapers from 22 to 18.
They have 22-18 straps.

Is it a pin and buckle deployant?

Re: Denim

It’s like watches, there’s a difference. Typically, they can range from sub $100, ie Levis, Unbranded, up to $700 for Japanese denim.

Rogue Territory is around $220-270 and Pure Blue Japan start around $300.

Re: Denim

Different price point than watches, so you can go down the rabbit hole fast.

The whole not washing thing seems to have been replaced by wash your pants.
Not sure if people are sitting doing soaks in the tub either.

Re: Do you think we'll ever switch to Metric?

I'm cool with mm on watch related stuff and small measurements in general. But for items less than a meter, I use inches. I have no mental idea what is 10cm long. I guess it's all about what you're used to. 10cm is 10% of a meter. 3 feet to a yard and 36 inches to yard is not as intuitive to me. So...

I’ve been lucky in the beard department. Any of you guys who are not beardly challenged getting a benefit from products like these? I do from the beard balm/beard oils definitely. If you don't use something like that then your skin under your beard dries out, and it can then itch or flake like dand...
