Keep us posted on how this leather wears. It's gonna be killer I presume.Thanks @Fonzie just keeping with the classics and i try to keep it simple and when I see a Maryam tanned leather especially horse rump I go for it
Will do, it will take a while but these are keepers and my best fitting pair of boots. This is my favorite black leather, I'm getting a monkey boot and an engineer made of the same hide lolKeep us posted on how this leather wears. It's gonna be killer I presume.
It's my 2nd selvage denim although it's a 36" inseam, so this is my first time folding the hem which is not bad but needs getting used to.Nice jeans, too.
Get those bad boys hemmed haha! It obviously all depends on how you like to cuff your jeans. I'm more of a two inch cuff kinda guy myself.Will do, it will take a while but these are keepers and my best fitting pair of boots.

Do I have to wash it first? I already wore it like 4 times already lol the 21oz brave star wasn't so bad but it is definitely not comfy compared to mall denim. I think I'll go with 2-3 inch cuff with the railcar order.
Some denim shrinks more than others but if you buy the jeans "one wash" from the retailer you will be fine as almost all the shrink is already occurred. I buy most of my denim in a "one wash" instead or raw or unsanforized. It just takes the guess work out of sizing. I had railcar hem my jeans before they shipped them to me since they have chainstitching on-site. Just had them hem them about 2 in longer than my actual inseam.
You sure you want to jump in this denim game bro??? Next thing you know you'll have 10 pairs haha
Yes, the double black 21oz in slim taper. I had to size up, my true to size fit was too uncomfortable and it would not fit over my thighs lolAre these 21oz black Brave Star, if so, which fit?
Cheers.
Size up?! I thought you needed to size down with Bravestar!Yes, the double black 21oz in slim taper. I had to size up, my true to size fit was too uncomfortable and it would not fit over my thighs lol

Now I’m not sure which size order.
Oh it's definitely an easy rabbithole to go down. And to your earlier point, the denim definitely doesn't start out very comfortable in comparison to your mall brand jeans. A large reason is the starch they put on the jeans to help with manufacturing and some denimheads even add more starch to their jeans to assist with fading. It's just like breaking in a heavy leather jacket. It gets more comfortable with wear. I've got some 15 oz Momotaro and some 18 oz Pure Blue Japan and they're super comfortable now. It all just depends on what you are trying to accomplish (sick fades or softening for more comfortable wearing).I also prefer the one wash, now that you mention how easy it is to live with lol
I'll follow the recommendation about having them hemmed before delivery, save a whole lot of trouble. Zip fly or button fly? What's your take on it?
I bought two pairs already lol this double black brave star and a sanforized pure blue Japan indigo denim at standard and strange they have on last call. I want the black indigo from railcar and maybe 1-2 more Japanese made denim (pure blue Japan probably).
Oh boy I'm down a different rabbit hole again hahaha

You won't find many selvedge denim (especially Japanese brands) with zip Flys. Buttons are more Heritage appropriate and thats what most makers are going for (jeans like they used to make them). I personally don't mind the buttons. Most jeans are hard to button when you first get them. Don't worry the buttonholes will soften up and it won't be a pain in the ass every time you gotta take a leak lol.
Like I said.. you can go down a real rabbithole. Check out Okayama Denim. Great company that does a ton of collaborations.

I saw the site and will look it up in earnest tomorrow. I do like the price on that brand.Kojima Genes does heavy weight selvage with zip fly, which I think it’s a very good idea. Fairly priced too.
Oh don’t worry, the more you fall down the selvage rabbit hole, the more the shades of the color blue will become extremely different from each other... lolI will try to temper myself, I don't want to own too much denim plus in my eyes it kinda looks the same lol
