Raw Denim Jeans

A workwear brand, not a fashion brand, with a cult biker/heavy-use following. Flagship 21oz (some lines 25oz) heavyweight salvage takes ~6 months to break in and is documented to last a decade of regular wear. The construction is the brand.

Best-in-class quality with extremely heavyweight jeans (20-25oz) that require dedication to break in but deliver slow, high-contrast fades. Originally a motorcycle brand, everything is impeccably made and built to become family heirlooms.

Mike mentions Iron Heart jeans as premium options he's experimented with, though he's settled into wearing Engineered Garments and Samurai as his daily uniform.
