hmm, i still definitely get excited when i get a brand new pair of raw denim. it just makes me happy, i keep it around raw for days so that i can admire the crispness -- enjoy its virginity, so to speak.
when i finally put it through a soak and/or a wash, it's also really exciting to me how it changes. i haven't bought repeat pairs, yet, so it's kind of a nice surprise/discovery every time. i don't see myself getting bored of it anytime soon.
Lately, I've been wishing that I had to wear a suit to work. I keep coming across nice dress shoes (DSW has a few different pairs of Allen Edmonds for a bargain), but I have nothing to wear them with. I'm getting a little tired of feeling like a damn scrub. I've also been thinking of cutting my hair.
Well, I'm not going to rush it. I'm not going to go quietly...
Coffee.
i feel you, man. my work attire is mandatory business casual. i hate business casual. it's not dressy, it's not casual. just in between. it sucks. can't wear jeans. even on friday.
i used to not give a fuck and wear a suit and tie anyways, but people at work always made fun of me and were always asking if i was interviewing at a different company.
i wish we could wear jeans.

but to address the thread's original topic, yeah, there's only so far you can go with repros. i really like my XX-005s, they have a modern cut but with nice super slubby denim. i've also been feeling nicely pre-distressed jeans.

Those kids look like that old character on Living Color...Handyman, with their fingers all tarded up like that.
I wanna seem some jeans in different colors, deeply dyed preferably. And I wanna see them used and faded like everyone in here does with the indigoes. Brown would be sweet.
Construction wise, I'd like to see some different details, interesting prints on the pockets (camo, polka dot, whatever), new colors for the stitching that can be seen on the outside (not tacky colors though, please, but anything but yellow or orange or their cousins), and different pocket styles (like One True Saxon's shield pockets, or others).
Cinchbacks on the waistline or on the back are interesting (just bought some Zara dark blue denims, their premium line, for the cinchback, and because it was on sale for $25 from $100, oh hellz yeah).
