not to beat a dead horse, but to kick it ever so softly:

not washing your jeans in 2024 feels like those wwII soldiers who didn’t realize the war was over and so kept hiding in the jungle for decades.

on the one hand i respect the dedication. but the war is over friend. you don’t have to live this way anymore
I bought a pair of unsanforized vintage Levis in my last trip to Madrid and I realized after having them hemmed that they were indeed unsanforized...$350 potentially down the drain.

I will wait until the end of time to wash those jeans lmao.

There are two stores I visited that sell Japanese denim, one is Angrysouls, the owner is a little eccentric aficionado of anything denim, but a good dude. The other store was Redcast Heritage (this one is by appointment only, the owner Eduardo is a young super cool and down to earth guy. Not sure if the first guy speaks English, but I think Eduardo does speak some.

Thank you, I know Angry Souls well but I wasn’t aware of the other store, I’ll check it out.

Btw, I'm planning to visit a new store also in Madrid called Denis, I'm going primarily in search of a pair of Alden penny loafers. Have you been there?
Nope, sorry. I recently searched for stores in Madrid carrying Crockett & Jones and found Tubet which I believe also have Alden. Fulham only has C&J I believe. And then there’s of course Carmina. All of those are in a 5 min walk on foot radius.
