Got hooked up at the Jingumae shop yesterday. One of the best cut and shaves I’ve ever had (and a great value too). Bye bye beard

My biggest learnings are around fit and wear.

• 777 not for me. Where do my thighs go?
• 888 not for me. Where does all this rise go?
  (and btw ^those 2 I couldn’t have figured out from charts or even trying on in the store really, bc they do go on my body fine and they don’t necessarily look bad, it’s just a comfort thing, had to live in em for a couple months and compare to life in 633/634 to truly understand)
• Even though I like the snaps, westerns don’t fit me as well as work. If I “have” to have it, size up and fold the sleeves back.
• Sizing chart > “well I usually wear X” …and don’t overthink it ….“well they designed this one to fit X bc that’s the style of this piece” no just get the one that fits you best
• To me, the best times in any jeans life is A) newish, when they give you a polished look fit for dates/business, or very worn, when they give you a radlook. Since I bought 5 pair (not counting other brands or ones I’ve sold or non-denim pairs ) in a 3 year span and rotated, all my pair are in in-between land. Don’t get me wrong I still love them and think they look great. But if I had it to do over I’d buy more strategically and aim to minimize the awkward stage. IH is partially to blame for releasing so much good shit. But as I write this I’m remembering how much less I enjoyed focusing on 1 pair for the indigo invitational vs being able to wear whichever pair strikes my fancy that morning so maybe I’ll just shut up now
• Oh wait one more, why do my friends and family not want to buy this stuff and discuss it with me? I’ve tried…

My first vintage buy. I could see getting hooked. Thanks @Molle for the inspiration and guidance.
