Chicago, but the discussion here has helped me figure out where to best direct my questions here and highlight that I’m not really ready to buy a pair yet

Totally fair and I am in no way mad. I came here from occasionally searching the reddit channel years ago and saw a coverage gap. While also seeing other channels where people provide the same advice on almost a weekly basis. Seemed like there is probably an easier way to do things/focus on different things but I don’t have the background to start with that, especially in this particular space.

I have owned zero pairs of denim in the past decade. The idea behind these communities are for people super into specifics to provide their opinions on things they are really into

These are questions people redirect to this channel, which then gets redirected to a personal separate thread when it is beneficial for others to just see/check. Old message boards like reddit had their most value their, Discord struggles with it even through threads or pinned messages

My questions were basic FAQ ones:
- How long does it take for selvedge to be comfortable (some say 80+, others say much less)
- Rec for brands at certain price points
- Sizing/shrinking between brands
These can all be kept somewhere, or in people’s heads, or never expressed. It all seems like localized knowledge in people’s heads that a chat like Discord can’t pin/prioritize.

I thought I was talking more generally about denim than any specific needs I have but that either was inaccurate or wasn’t coming through

My fault, I was having a broader discussion about denim that I thought didn’t need a specific thread. Sounds like it probably did.

100%. Then how do you optimize help here. Are there certain brands that are more accurate? Or off on certain measurements? It’s the right baseline, and I’m likely shouting into a void, but there are ways to redirect a denim channel better

As well as sizing between different brands. Maybe denim is more accurate and doesn’t use glamour sizing, or has structurally similar thigh/calf/ankle measurements for certain cuts

That’s a discord issue. Can you subthread a thread? Or pin a quick post of suggestions at certain price points?

If there is a minimal crocking/bleed period and under 40-60 wear to be comfortable I’d be happy

Tall, lean, but mostly torso. Basically a 32/33 inseam is great. Not bodybuilder thighs

I don’t care about incredibly unique wear patterns but I do like comfortable, good looking clothes and am willing to pay a premium for them if needed
