Student Wears Raw Denim Nudie Jeans for 15 months Without Washing - Page 2

True enough, Geruvah. There's this whole subculture that's been slowly growing over the last decade or so. It's not terribly new however, as Levi's jeans were originally somewhat like this, but to what extent I am unaware. I talked to a sales associate at a clothing store in town, and he told me that his dad had 20 pairs of jeans, all bought from Levi's from when he was a lad. I read that Levi's sold some of its equipment to the Japanese, where the raw denim culture is among the most popular in the world. It's all over this superfuture forum. While it's very popular with this particular group, I wouldn't say it's purely a hipster practise. It's not necessarily exclusive to skinny jeans and hipsters. You wouldn't be hard-pressed to find rock bands wearing raw denim, but I think they typically like the tighter fitting stuff. 

Wow, you still remember that? lol I hope you haven't been holding your breath all this time. I got rid of that a long time ago. I stopped using portable amps shortly after that too. I had my Creative Vision:M and PA2v2 velcro-ed together in there, but it got too bulky to carry, going from class to class. That's why I designed the Carrie.

At face value, yes, my brother's project may seem like a black mark on human history, but what really comes out is how he persevered with a project he enjoyed that most people spoke against. I think many an audiophile would resonate with the sentiment where someone truly enjoys their hobby and close friends and family don't understand it. It's a fun story about a young guy who wanted to make his perfect pair of jeans, so we're just having fun with it.

A very nice addendum would be that blog on your fanny pack you promised us years ago.

Lol Interesting observation. Maybe it's more of a denim thing. I don't know if you remember my cut-offs. *facepalm*
