1. I'm trying to upgrade and grab a nice pair of selvedge denim. Any suggestions, and what is your ideal measurements in respect to leg opening?

    I typically suggest APC New Cure or Baldwin Henley, but because I was so blown away by photos of the Pure Blue Japan xx-011s after six months and a hot soak (pictured above), I have to take the time to suggest that you check them out.  I have no first hand experience with PBJ, but I have read some amazing reviews (those douchers over at SuFu are good for something, sometimes, I guess).  As per leg opening, I prefer purchasing jeans with a 15” opening and having them tapered to 14.5”.
