Deciding on a denim weight is a balancing act between lifestyle, fit, geographical location, experience and expectation.

So let's break these down.

Your Lifestyle Plays an Important Part.

You have to ask yourself:

"how much time to I spend in my jeans and doing what kind of activity?"

The Weight of Your Jeans Will Have an Influence on Your Chosen Fit.

As much your body type should give you a good indication as to the fit you’ll be looking at. There are some weights of denim that are more suited to certain fits just for practicality and wear-ability sake Check out the chart in the video.

Experience goes a long way in your choice of Denim Weight.

If you are new to this game, I would strongly advise going for the lighter side of things. The fade potential is there and the reality of you putting in the time to achieve said fades is far higher.

Expectation can mean that the above is null and void

This is where all of the above can just go out the window…. And maybe it should!

What if you want that downright sick fade afforded by that heavy denim. But you live in Indonesia. Well, you will just have to suck it up and take it.

Dat's It For Denim Weight Folks!

So, that's the BULK (sorry, one final pun) of the issues about denim weight covered. It's a big subject and needs a little time to get your head around.... but it's worth taking the time like all aspects of getting that perfect pair of jeans.

This is part of a series of videos we're putting out on getting that perfect pair of jeans.

Good information. I have been trying to make up my mind on buying raw denim and have been going back and forth on it. In fact I went to a store checked out few and then decided not to buy. I am ok with the commitment around wearing and breaking it in, but not ok with the colour transfer. Still undecided.
