AND THE EXPERIENCE CONTINUES!!! DAY 6

Its been 6 days since I’ve been wearing my APC Petit Standards non stop. 12-14 hours of breaking in now since my days have increased during the Halloween weekend. These have definitely been my favorite and most adored pair of jeans. This year alone I have owned Naked and Famous, Diesel, Levi’s Capital E, and Levi’s 511, and these are my favorite. These are the only ones that I wear every single day. I love the feeling of breaking this pair in. In the 10+ years of my love for denim, I never just wore one. I always had a couple of them and changed them out daily. I was always worried about ruining the denim and always had different pairs for different shirts and outfits. Now, I just wear these APC’s and don’t even think about my other jeans. I feel bad, because I feel like I didn’t give my other ones a chance to break in properly but now I can’t help it. I am obsessed with these jeans and will continue breaking them in and getting the fades and whiskers that it deserves.

So here we are at day 6. They are at such a great comfort state right now. Still remains stiff, still got the shine, and the waist, thigh’s and knees have definitely loosen up a bit. They feel great, it fits better, and look better. I’m starting to see where they will have cracks and whiskers and I can’t wait. I was a bit nervous this morning when I noticed a bit of tomato sauce at the bottom of my jean on the cuff, but luckily it was on the inside of the jean, and I wiped it right away with some baby wet wipes. I dabbed and gently rubbed. A couple of hours later, it was gone. That was such a relief. At this moment right now, I do not want any stains or chances of them getting dirty. I am enjoying them way too much. I will post pictures on Day 7. Thanks again for reading and following this blog and my experience of breaking in these jeans. This is my own personal experiment since like I mentioned, I never broke in any of my jeans this way. Looking forward to any questions, comments and concerns. If anyone else just got a new pair of jeans, let me know about it. I would love to hear your own experiences with your favorite pair of denim.

Facing The Addiciton

Hello everyone, my name is Jay, I am 31 years old and I am a denim addict. My addiction started exactly 10 years ago. My first pair of premium denim was a dark rinsed wash, strait leg pair of Diesel Kratt. Before my purchase, I was used to only wearing Levi’s, Gap, and department store jeans until a friend of mine introduced me to Diesel. Premium denim was just something I never looked into. I remember the day I purchased them, feeling very guilty paying over $140 (tax included) for a pair of jeans. From that day on, I found a whole new world of premium denim. Now 10 years later, and thousands of dollars (I really mean it) later, I am still buying premium denim. I can no longer purchase as much as I would like due to my economic situation (I have a wife and 3 year old daughter that both like to shop.)

I started this blog, because year after year, month after month, I always wanted to do a blog of some sort about my experiences with jeans I have purchased. Some I really like (raw denim) and some I do not. Some worked great for me, and some stayed hanging behind my closet door. I have never been the guy who purchased one pair and wore them for the whole year. I always wanted a variety. I would stay up and spend hours on the internet looking for the perfect denim and jean. In my 10 years, I have had brands such as Levi’s, Gap, Diesel, 7 For Mankind, Citizen’s of Humanity, Stitch’s, AG’s, Nudie’s, Naked and Famous, Levi’s Capital E, and many more. I will not dwell on the past, but only look forward into the future and discuss what is new and upcoming that I find interesting and like.

This blog will not be limited to just denim, but also talk, introduce, and hopefully have people teach me new things about the world of denim and upcoming trends and fashion. I am no expert, just a consumer that really enjoys observing, reading, discussing and purchasing denim and clothes. This blog was ment for others who love denim (men or women) to join in and tell me about your own experiences. I look forward to all of your comments and advice.
