      when I’m dead 🤣

      I often daydream about my successors looking through my old denim decades from now and what they might think. I do not expect to raise little denimheads but I will damn well try!

                What tends to happen is that I hover over my size and see the stock dwindling before me very eyes and I say fu*% it, and I’d hit the buy button.😲

                  @Giles It actually annoys the shit out of me when other retailer sites don't have an inventory count...How else am I supposed to let my FOMO drive my impulsivity??

                      1. Don’t let purchase decisions be influenced too much by how items look on someone else - this took me a long while to realise that just cause X looks good on someone else doesn’t mean X looks good on me.
                      2. Trial and error is key to finding the perfect jean cut - measurements are very helpful but will only get you so far. I was convinced I would never look good in the 634 cut and always tried to aim for (to my mind at the time) more “youthful” cuts like the 777. But I look so much better in the 634 than I have in any other cut.
                      3. There are many good brands with different flavours out there, but all roads lead to IH.

                          To be most successful wearing heavy heavy denim year round one should have jeans in less than 3 oz fabric weight increments. 😃

                          Only half joking; putting on a pair of UHR this morning after wearing XHS for two months make them feel lightweight and even soft.

                            Here’s my greatest denim failure:

                            Tried to emulate @Nik and his fantastic bleached pair with some cheap secondhand 25oz. Now I have acid wash Iron Heart! 666 is also a less comfy cut for me, so these only get worn for yard work and painting these days.

                              @sabergirl I love you, but holy hell is that an 80’s flashback ❤️

                              Edit: And yes, I did own a pair or two of acid wash in the day 🙂

                                I had some amazing acid wash somehow black with pink highlights pleated jeans that were my absolute favorite circa 1987! I’ll bet the Gen Zers would looove to get their hands on them.

                                  Acid wash, stone wash, Jams shorts, and even parachute pants. The eighties were… interesting…
