The Best Raw Denim - Naked & Famous

You might be tired of hearing me saying over and over again that the best jeans is raw denim! Unless you are a denim purist like i am. I don't care for all these commercial pre-washes, they never look sophisticated or authentic enough for my taste and the prices in my opinion don't justify it as well. Yes, they make the jeans softer, vintage looking etc...but who says that jeans needs to be soft? and if it does why not let it do its own thing as I'm wearing it.... What i love about denim is this that stiffness that makes it fit so cool!....oh and guess what, if you wear it enough it will get softer...and not just softer but in the process it will also form to take on your body shape...what else can you ask for???
Few weeks ago i went into Barney's, and finally after few years of searching (last time it was when i found these Nudie jeans) i saw these pair of Naked & Famous jeans, they looked raw and dark, they felt dry....and than i unfolded them.....at this point i didn't even need to try them on.....! Raw, stiff, tight fit, long (I have long legs yet im skinny so most jeans companies decided that skinnier guys are short....otherwise i can't understand why its so hard for me to find 34 length in my size...)...and on top reasonably priced! You know the feeling when you find something that looks too good to be true and you start investigating it to see where is the catch?....cause you just can't understand how come something so perfect is so hard to find!

The skinny cargo pants

J Brand at Park & Bond
In my personal style cargo pants were never an option....it could be that i had enough of them during my 3 years army service.... but i think it has to do more with the fact that cargos are usually just ugly (even the short version that everyone seam to wear this last summers)! They are big, baggy, comes in unattractive colors and have way too many pockets (bulky and not flat) and zippers...i like a militant inspiration when its used in sophistication. 
But  than i saw the fresh cargo skinny versions and it got me wonder... and more so inspired and even wanting one.... i wouldn't probably go with the army and khaki color palate just to  keep it away form the typical cargo pants...i like the denim versions below here from G-Star...they have a cool feel and i can see them paired with a white T and a light fall crew or v-neck knit and high bulky sneakers or boots and casual looks better than ever....
