I believe SOP for all forums is to reply first, then read through all previous replies.

@don_pipone I remember back before i knew what rope-dyeing was, or even what the concept of selvedge/raw/heavyweight denim was, I'd see the rare random dude in the mall with a heavily faded pair of jeans with combs like this and was bewildered by them. I had only known that if jeans were faded, it's because they were designed that way, it was a 'wash' or a 'distressed' pair. I didn't understand the process or how they could be so '3D'. I definitely didn't realize at that time that they were made with time and wear, and that you couldn't just go buy them like so. It took years to find out. Now... I sometimes (rarely) get complimented on my "acid wash" jeans. LOL. If people ask where I got them or how much the cost, I usually tell them "Just google raw denim".
Sik fadez bruh! -
@WhiskeySandwich Thanks man!
I know exactly what you mean - happened to me too. As much as I love talking about raw denim all day, it is kind of exhausting with someone who doesn't know diddly squat about it. Most of the time it ends up with explaining myself, why I am spending that much on jeans and such. So usually I try to avoid it, as long as I am not 100% certain the other person is open for that.
During the first years in the "game" my wife often mentioned my "300€" jeans or shirt in front of others that don´t know better. Eventually I begged her to not do that again - socialising has become way more enjoyable since then

@don_pipone haha and that was before the Pale Rider
good timing! Try and explain that. Though, you must get people asking about that one, right? -
@Larkens Haha...fair enough. It indeed has already drawn way too much attention for my liking.
"Hey, that's a nice shirt...or is it a jacket? What is that? Is it leather???"
I then usually go with: "Yep. So what are your plans for summer?" -

.I'd die of social embarrassment if someone told the muggles about the price of my jeans.
You're it.

@don_pipone
that's a good one -
@don_pipone Absolutely lost it at this. It's certainly how it feels sometimes. There's no need to die on the hill for it when someone wouldn't appreciate or prioritise something like that in their life
