Anyone familiar with Acne denim? Whats the difference between ace and max? I want a tapered fit jean but i dont want it skin tight.

Ace is slimmer and tighter Max is tapered to slim fit. It all depends on your legs. I say try them both on. Either way Acne is one of the GOAT denim.

anyone else here love BLK Denim's black denim?

Yes. Just picked up a couple pairs of BLK Denim. Great for sale price, but IMO not worth retail.

Petit Standard (After roughly 7 months, 0 washes)



Starting to see some wear in the crotch, behind the knees and back pockets.

nice fades .. hopefully your $200 denim lasts more than a year

Make sure to soak da crotch to strengthen the weft and help to prevent a blowout. Doesn't look like you going crazy on wear so I would hope they last a year+ asides from the notorious crotch blowout.

Thanks bro. Sucks that i dont have any retailer near me selling acne jeans so i cant really try them on. I might just order them on mrporter since i have a store credit.

Mr. Porter has free returns. So just order both and return the jeans you don't like.

Why do people sweat crotch blowout so bad? There's plenty of professional repair around. I Personally dig the look of darner repair or whatever it's calls

Soak the crotch of my jeans in warm or cold water? Had them for about 7 months now and thinking about giving them the first wash. Surprisingly though, they dont smell. Or should i just wait til the first year mark?

Swear you guys just need to wear your jeans

If you're about to wash, obviously don't bother soaking. Fading is usually faster after the first wash so up to you. I usually wash cold, inside out, and with woolite dark. Take them out before the spin cycle on your machine too.

And soaking the crotch does help to prevent blow outs if you're not washing consistently and the crotch shows signs of wear...I've gotten various repairs and I end up getting blowouts in areas around the repair.

Nope looks like normal wear and tear. Are those pure blue Japan's?

Thanks for the info!

And no, they're Naked and Famous Indigo Stretch. I bought them in the mystery bag blue owl had it was like 2 denims for 175 or something like that.

Think I'm just over a year on these FH2001's. Two cleanse soaks + the original soak. So far so good.

For me, jeans should last longer than a year before any blowouts. Just seems ridiculous to see all these expensive jeans being artificially worn down.

Good Japanese denim is a durable good. Let it wear over time.
