The Worst of Raw Denim

[BloodnThunder]

^I was about to say the same thing.  When someone asks you about your jeans do you say, "it's a tribute to 50's rodeo clowns, which are my style inspiration."

yep, don't see there a problem, but that's me 

was just showing the historical reference, not that I would jump on em…

[PattyCakez]

I don't know if these are 'raw' denim…

But at this point do you really care…? hahaha

My favorite was that same pair of Evis but with a brown arc.

Also these!

Gotta say that Evisu was my first dip into Japanese raw denim a few years ago. Was amazed by their denim (No. 3?), the quality and that the seagull arcs were painted on by hand on the backpockets. Nowadays I wouldn't wear them though. Too flashy.

And we have a new contender by Kura:

Got the email on these earlier, first though was to check it wasn't April fools day. They are truly haunting….

I dunno, those extra pockets are probably super helpful.

And…someone put a lot of time into sanding the thighs.

Sweet baby Jesus, how could anyone think this was a good idea:

Did you read the comments?   

There are seriously too many good ones to quote.

[Clint_D]

Oh yeah, that thread should go down in history as far as what not to do with your denim!

My favourite comment, this is an idea I would support 

If OP is willing, I think this should be made into a pair of traveling pants. He sends it to another member of the community to do whatever mind-numbingly ridiculous "fade" technique they can think of, document the process with photos and/or video, then they pass it on. After 6 months of utter insanity, they get submitted to Heddels for Fade Friday. After that, the Smithsonian. Or maybe Ripleys. Who's with me?!

OP, I'm in too deep on this idea. Not even joking, I will gladly buy those from you to make this a reality if that's what it takes.

Honest to god, I read that and thought, "oh, that is such a great idea. I wonder if we could do it on the IH forum?"

[Megatron1505]

@Chris , it would provide answers to so many questions  ???

I’m going to do a dual starch crusting and ocean washing.
