Ha, I saw this pop up and thought 'Wow, QBN has a denim thread'.. then quickly realized I posted here 3 years ago. So I guess I'll just use this as my denim journal.
Update to my denim status:
The Momotaro 0701s from my previous post ended up being worn almost every day until a month ago. Probably washed them a dozen times. I had them repaired twice for crotch blowouts. But they look and feel so nice. They were starting to get holes in random places (wallet pocket, etc) so I decided to get my next pair and keep those as a backup.
I just purchased a pair of ONI 546zr (20oz) and the denim is insane. These are so thick that I feel like I'm wearing armor made of denim. You can see some pictures (not me) here: https://imgur.com/a/Znagi
Here's a detail of the denim:
I really love the history and craftsmanship of Japanese denim - and also seeing how the denim fades over time.

I've been on a jean mission lately, and have ultimately settled on the Levi 513's. 511's and 512's were so tight on my legs, they looked like leggings. Weirdly, the 513's fit like an old pair of 514's I have. The new 514's were too loose though.
Was checking out some raw/selvedge brands that everyone seems to love, but I'm not into the faded or rolled up look. Lucky Brand jeans fit okay, but I didn't like the dark indigo wash as much. Weirdly, Old Navy was my second pick, but they were too thin, and didn't feel like they would last.

At what point does one toss their jeans? There's some inner fray above the ankle area and front pocket area along the cell.

Was wondering if a thread existed on this here. I just bought some Momotaro Vintage Label 0701 (raw, unsanfordized) a couple weeks ago in Munich. They're still stiff/thick as fuck but the denim is gorgeous. Can't wait to see how these fade and change over time.

I bought a pair of distressed paint splotched PRPS on Revolve and they are my most favorite jeans ever. I never heard of them before but liked the way they looked. They were pretty expensive since I usually just buy Levi's from Target but they're totally worth it.
I'll have to get some more pairs that aren't as tattered so I can wear them to work.
