For anybody that has the money, here's a list of extremely high quality Denim Brands which any raw Denim Enthusiast would recognise,

Nudie
A.P.C.
Ernest Sewn
Crate
KMW
Spurr
Voi
RRL
Simon Miller
Rag & Bone
Sugar Cane
Acne
45rpm
Evisu
Studio d’Artisan

And for anybody who thinks its disgusting, there are 2 ways which i know of cleaning your jeans without Washing them in water, You can as mentioned, Spray them, or you can steam them, killing any bacteria and leaving a nice fresh smell. In my opinion Wearing 6 month old jeans is fine because your going to wash your legs afterwards anyway.

There are many more than that list including two I have:

Hugo Boss
Naked & Famous

Naked & Famous are rather cheap for raw denim, too.

Yeah im sure your right mate, was just naming the ones i knew of the top of my head. I hear after 6 months when the jeans have some nice honeycombs, whiskers etc. you should wash them for the first time, is this right? And if so how do i?

six months is a number brought up first by Nudie jeans

there is no standard to which you should wash your jeans though i do believe good wear and tear definitely helps with the fading process

keep in mind too that when you wash your jeans you do get some bit of indigo loss but it really depends on the batch, brand and wear of your jeans

that being said if you want to machine wash just flip them inside out and hang dry

At two years so far. Dry cleaned them once for minimal indigo loss at about the one year mark.

my back pocket has a nice little hole where there used to be a button on my wallet, but that button fell off and now there's just a hole in my jeans for no obvious reason

shit's silly
