Which pair should I break in?

[kronik]

So, I figured this would be a comical thread and while completely selfish on my part, it may actually assist me in making up my mind. As some of you already know, I've been on a denim buying binge for the last 6 months (what the **** was I thinking) and now I have no idea which I want to wear in. I figure switching them up all the time as I have been will ultimately frustrate me so if I do them in an order.. as arbitrary as it may be.. that may lend a little more to my overall satisfaction. So, I'll put it in a poll and you guys, my SF brethren, can help me decide as you are ultimately responsible for me buying this crap to begin with.

Shoai,.. are those shoaizome? Natural Japanese indigo with the purple tinge? If so, go for those! My new kendo stuff is shoaizome and I love that tinge. - and the purple stains in my shower from hanging it there to dry

Ahh, I had no idea that's why they had the purple selvage. Good call.

Wooow....not inexpensive but the idea of shoaizome denim makes me all tingly. The wear on my gi is already getting really nice, the colour of broken in shoaizome denim must be spectacular! Those really look great. My shard has been cast!

if my AI-001 are any indication, the Shoai is going to take ages to break in. I don't think they are a good project for that reason. I'd just wear them when it works, but not for the sake of breaking them in.

I'm actually more interested in how the Nando x Nando would turn out.

I myself would go with the canes(since ive got the nxn's~). As I remember, they are dyed with natural indigo. And I prefer their cut/color more than that of 40200/300/500's...

I owe the following pairs in your list:

nandoxnando: very nice! love the overdyed effect! But when you get these, you will start thinkin' about jomons....

nudie rrds: my first pair of nudies. Very special boot cut. But the dying is not as good as the 45rpms from my own view. ( I love dark indigo. the darker the better!)

s5000: If you want some thing tough, choose these. But are you serious about wearing them(17oz) in the summer? The cut is the same as lvc 66s.

Cheers!

While they're not the most interesting choice, I vote that you break in your RRDS. For some reason, they just strike me as the most summery of your jeans.

Voted for the Nando-Nando. I really want to see how those turn out.

Thanks all for your input, with the exclusion of the "figure it out yourself" crew. Haters.

You are out of your f***ing mind.

Seriously, that has to be the best denim collection in the tri-state, with the possible exception of Mauro and Joey.

 

[Badseeds]

Those are still brand new, one wash version tho.......I will take pix of them b4 start rocking in them for sure...

just for now I havent even got a chance to take pix of things im selling...

Hopefully next week when i get my camera back...

I'd be wearing the Oni's 24/7 just to try and justify the price, good lord. Let's see what five bills worth of jeans looks like broken in, eh?

How similar are the nandoxnando to the 007s?

Guys give me some sufu links thanks.
