My updated collection. I usually only have three in rotation at all times but god damn did I get a deal on these nudies ($70) and the first pair which is one of my favorite streetwear brands so I had to cop.

Pairs:

Life is war 14.5 oz slim fit stacked denim. (0 washes, just came in today!) it is a black denim so they do not fade blue . Man is 15 oz the perfect weight if u asked me. The drop crotch is super sick I love this brand they do not do raw denim so I had to cop.will show fit in pics

Naked and famous elephant 13 red core, 21 oz (6 soaks or more, 1 yr old.) fit is easy guy I think but I tapered them myself m. I am more of a super guy when it comes to n&f. Also changed the leather back patch. I hated the original one so much it was way to thick.these have been my daily’s up until recently. It’s been super hot in sd recently so these have been worn usually just to work. My fav pair forsure. I’ll try to add before pics at the end of the reel if there is room

Acne studios max cash black waxed raw denim. (5 washes, 4 yrs old.) skinny fit. 2% elastane. These bleed like crazy. I’d say they are about 11oz. Just raw waxed these as well

Nudie grim Tim black coated indigo waxed denim. (1 soak, 2 months old.) these are an absolute grail of mine. I have been on the hunt for a pair of raws that are black that fade Indigo for so fucking long AND THEY ARE WAXED. I could not pass up on these and got them for only $70 on Grailed. Super rare pair of nudies they are 100% cotton (no stretch.) which is very uncommon for them nowadays. So super lucky score on these they haven’t done waxed anything in years.

Super content with what I have right now probably wont get a new pair for quite some years. Would love another colored core but until then can’t wait to fade these thangs

I think I’m done. Even with jewelry, I got everything I want already. Just got the horizontal eyebrow and love it. Any piercing suggestions lmk, kinda curious what anyone thinks what else would look good with this setup m.

Finally got around to repair my denim bike sb’s that I skated over the years. I used some denim patches and did a lot of hand sewing. Wanted to sashiko but getting your hands and needle inside a shoe is not easy lol. If u have any questions lmk questions lmk.

I wanted to do a 1 year post but it’s been two years lol. So here is my little progression timeline. I know it’s cliché af but trust the process. I wanted to show my transformation because I also see how much people struggle to commit. I learned a lot about myself through the “ugly phase.” Just don’t give up on what you want. A good foundation is everything though so if you don’t like how your dreads are turning out early on, it’s best to restart while you are early in it. As you can see I dyed my hair a lot. A lot of people hate on it in the sub, told me my hair will fall out (when I posted 6 months in) and I said we will see. All I can say is if you’re scared to dye your hair DONT DO IT or at least wait until they mature. Ima still do it lol but just take really extra good care of it if you do. Keep yah shit moisturized. If u have any questions lmk.

I was asked for pics of my post showing off my current rotation (other post)I prefer skinnier fits and just always have. These are all raw except for the last pair of course. I’ll link my other post after work if you want a close up on any of the pairs. I prefer stacks over showing off the selvedge if u can’t tell lol. Sorry I don’t have the specifications on two pairs I got them second hand for a steal and just haven’t been able to find what style or make they are just yet.

1. Elephant 13 red core. (10 months 2 soaks.) easy guy but I tapered the legs myself.
2. Acne studios (3 years old, 3 soaks)I don’t know the style I I can find it I will edit. I just recently re-waxed them so it’s hard to see any fading.
3. G-star raw (3 years, 3 soaks, one re-wax.) I love those because if u can’t see there is a slit on the hem so they stack super nicely on mid/hi tops.
4. Junya wantanabe x Levi’s . (1 month old.) these are my babies. If you have tried to find a pair of these then you know all sizing extremely tiny. I only wear raw denim and have ever since I’ve been 16 so this is a bit out my comfort zone. However the first pair I’ve ever owned wear I can cuff and they are perfect. Since in 6’2 most jeans come in a 34 and when you fold it (especially with bulkier denim) the folds are to stiff and were never clean in my opinion.

Other: I know I’m gonna get asked on the denim shoes. They are Nike sb’s from 2017 and I have had them since 2017. I have done some repairs on them. And the denim jacket is a Ksubi wax jacket (I’ll find the model If anyone wants to know. Got them the same day I got the Junyas. I have been looking for a lil black raw jean jacket for so long. I have only had for 1 month so no fading yet. Also anything with wax takes a lot longer to fade so I doubt I will ever get to the level some of you guys are on.

1. Elephant 11 red core naked and famous denim. Had since 12/1/2025.(2 soaks) These are my DAILYS. They were sold out online and a place in la had them!! Missed out on the black pair that faded red if anyone has those pls lmk!!
2. Acne studios black raw waxed denim. Have had these for about 3 years now (4 soaks.)Got at waste land in sf for only $70. There is some fading but just re-waxed them so it’s hard to see. Absolutely love these. Only downside is crazy amount of dye loss when cleaning (the water becomes not even see through)

3.g star raw boot cut raw denims. Had for like 3 years as well (2 soaks, 1 wax treatments.) the slit on the hem is what sold these for me. These stack so nicely on hi tops. Also the pockets are straight and not curved. Feels so much better putting my hands in them and stuff in general.

4. MY ABSOLUTE GRAIL. I have been searching for a pair that fits since like 2018. My Junya wantanabe x Levi’s x comme des. Finally found a pair that’s not 3 times small. Recently at 2nd street. These are selvedge. Fit is perfect. Patches are amazing. These just speak for themselves.

EDIT:someone asked for fit pics so here
