This is the first time I’ve taken CM seriously and right out of the gate it’s been rough, I don’t have a lot of time to play the game so these are the only 2 aces I’ve built for this CM.

Both of them are struggling, I know I don’t have redshift but I keep losing to other umas also without redshift. I’m confused as to why neither of them are performing well. Please any help is appreciated.

Umas after the deck picture are examples of Umas that I have lost to.

This the first pair of raw (and selvedge) denim jeans that I have purchased that I’m sticking with. These are the “15oz Black Skein Dyed Hertiage Jeans” by Graph Zero. I don’t have any experience with jeans outside of Levi’s 501s so trying to find something that fit me the way I wanted was a shot in the dark. Especially from a company I’m not familiar with. I prefer black jeans so that also added another layer of difficulty. I saw a couple posts on this sub about graph zeros and adored how they looked so I thought I’d take a chance.

They have such a crazy unique texture that blew my mind the first time I touched them, they’re heavy compared to what I’m used to and still they have to be the most comfortable pair of jeans I’ve ever owned. Which again I’ve never owned jeans besides 501s so not sure how much that really means. When I first got them the back rise was super duper high which caused a lot of bunching above my butt, but I got that sorted out with a tailor and I don’t have any complaints whatsoever about how they fit since then.

I’ve been wearing these for about a month now, I’ve been learning how to take care of jeans from this sub so maybe in another couple months Ill be ready for their first wash, I have no idea how these will fade, I don’t see a whole lot of black denim fades on this sub but I guess only time will tell.
