@diytutorialguy I love these jeans where they a one time run? There Description is really weird first sanforizing the denim doesn't do anything for the look or color of the denim it is a chemical treatment that shrinks the denim before it is made in to jeans or jackets. So when you wash your denim for the first time. Then they are a super sluby denim not nepy. Slub denim is my favorite it's when they slow down the loom and it makes some high and lows and has that cool look to it if you look closely you can see and feel that it's what I think there describing as the green and blue look. But the green is probably the color of the weft I can't tell from the video. Most weft is white so when your denim fades you get the white lines with the this denim you are going to get green lines in your wiskers and honey combing. O and I bet they just did the pocket tag because that's how a lot of the work wear brands like dickys and I thought Carhartt did it too. Not trying to give you any shit you didn't write out that description and I could be totally wrong but the nepy denim looks like little white dots all over the jeans. Just wanted to give you some info I have learned not trying to put you down. I actually love the sluby denim and with the painter style double knee there like my old dickys I wore when I was painting houses. And I am with you on wearing your clothes and don't be afraid to get them dirty it's y you bought raw denim to give them character. Use your stuff every day I use to save my "nice" things for special occasions bring out the silver only with guests and Christmas not anymore I wear all my favorite things whenever they're clean and got rid of the table wear. Enjoy your stuff till it Disintegrates. O last thing they have this denim jacket and they added this feature in the arms like my jacket with leather arms you should review it.
My man, this is one of the best comments ever! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight. The CZcams community needs more of this! I’ve done some jobs in these jeans, so I will be washing them this week. In the washing machine! As for the style, the double knee, Brave Star just released these in a tapered cut and a couple different colors. The taper cut is on my To Buy list! As for this jacket you speak of, do you have a link??
You're the first guy I've heard say you're going to wear your denim hard like it's intended. I appreciate that because it's mostly been skinny new York rich kids wearing expensive heritage work wear that they would scream like a woman if they ever actually got them dirty. As a blue collar guy it's almost insulting that the clothes that was made for me is only being worn by men who work in offices
My man, that means a lot! I was a blue collar worker for a long time before moving into a different career. Landscaper, hardscaper, lawn crew, built tents, installed cable, and a mover to name a few… When I first got into raw denim, I was “that guy” who worried about getting jeans dirty. Then I realized how incredibly stupid that was, and that denim is meant to be beat up. It’s literally what it was designed for; working! I wear all my raw selvedge the same way now…like a pair of regular ass jeans. They get dirty? I throw them in the washing machine and they come out fine! Time to flip the script on all the dudes trying to look pretty in their misappropriated work wear cosplay! Thanks for watching, and for holding it down in the trades sector!
Agreed. Another viewer stated the pocket logo was to be in line with other work wear pants; Carhartt, Dickies, etc. Check out my vid where I wash this pair and talk about the logo: czcams.com/video/ynkpvqsc7u8/video.html
I have the green dragon regular taper and new green dragon Sherpa I one washed them both gives the jeans a denim blanket feel from all the naps the lighter color is amazing definitely worth getting the Sherpa
Hopefully you give us a update on how they been breaking in, assuming you have been wearing them almost daily. My size is out of stock but keeping an eye in case another lot becomes available
There should be an update in a month or two, maybe 3. I’m using these as work pants, not for style, so the review may be a little different than what I have been doing. Also, Brave Star seems to always “find” more product for re-release, you should see some in the near future!
I just ordered a pair. Not sure about the sizing though. I usually wear 34x32 in Levi’s and I ordered the 33 in Brave Star. I’m hoping they will not be too big.
I wear a 31x30 in Levi’s 511’s. For the double knees I went with a 29 waist and the 32” hem. They fit great, but I’m also pretty slim. Not sure of your build, but that plays a factor!
I don’t think they replace the patch because I got the same pair of pants and got my patch the green dragon and I have that sewn on patch. Also I think somebody just forgot the snow it on for you.
I checked the site, the double knee green dragon’s do not come with a patch. The link below will take you to the image of them with no patch: bravestarselvage.com/products/the-die-hard-double-knee-14oz-green-dragon-selvage-denim-jean I should have checked the site prior to thinking they forgot my patch.
Ian, hi!!! It turned out to be a very informative video!!! I've reviewed it several times!! Jeans are very interesting, the material is beautiful!!! They look very good, as if they were sewn on you!!! I understood your wishes, that it would be unnecessary not to spare work clothes, but it's a pity to dirty such pants with engine oil, here you need something in between to work with a tree !!! And so Ian you are a very good and charismatic presenter and you could easily work on TV. Good luck to you and your channel, as well as new creative ideas!!! Иэн , привет!!! Получился очень информативный ролик!!! Пересмотрел несколько раз!! Джинсы очень интересные , материал красивый!!! Смотрятся очень хорошо , как будто на вас шили!!! Я понял твои пожелания, что-бы излишне не жалеть рабочую одежду , но и машинным маслом такие штаны жалко пачкать , тут надо что-то среднее с деревом работать !!! А так Иэн ты очень хороший и харизматичный ведущий и ты бы запросто мог работать на ТВ. Удачи тебе и твоему каналу, а также новый творческих идей!!!
Hey good review! I am a size 33 in every pair of store bought jeans I own. I know Brave Stars sizing is a little different, and after measuring using their suggested method with the tape measure, their website says I am a size 32. Any advice on waist sizing?
Thank you and good question. The size measurements on their site, and method of measuring are accurate. I wear a size 31 Levi’s 511, and a size 30 Goodfellow chino’s. Both are slim fit. With Brave Star I wear a size 30 for their slim taper and a size 29 for regular taper and true straight. I have no issues with fit with the Brave Star denim I own.
I checked out Left Field’s site, and you are correct, the buttons are the same. That was an oversight on my part, thanks for catching it. They seem to have a great store, I may have to grab something from them in the near future.
Thank you for the compliment! So you’re saying you offered $48 Euros to someone for the Green Dragon double-knees and they accepted? If so, wow, that’s a deal!
hi sir, i just got my first pair of brave stars and they look amazing. but theres a few issues, the patch feels like cardboard and theres alot of loose threads. the selvage id itself is also twisting for some reason, are these all normal? they fit pretty tight on me but im pretty sure thats normal
Hmmmmm, interesting… If this were me I would call Brave Star customer service and ask their thoughts. Do not email, you may never hear back! But seriously, I would ask them to ship me a new pair free from any defects.
@@DIYTutorialGuy this is the sad part lol, its no longer being made and out of stock, i was lucky enough to get a cone mills 14oz one from another seller that was made by brave star. i'm guessing they cant help me out because they are out of anything that was made with cone mills. now i'll probably just use them as working jeans and just really tear them apart, they have been replying to my emails so i'll let you know if i get a response back, for the time being, do you plan on buying anything made from cone mills?
Ahhh, I see. Do your thing, wear those jeans HOWEVER you want to. No rules! As for me, I don’t have any plans on buying any Cone Mills denim this time around, I already own a couple pairs. Do come back though, I plan on featuring some heritage style clothing other than raw denim jeans!
@@DIYTutorialGuy i got some news! this is actually all normal i emailed brave star, the seller i brought it from was also so kind enough to give me a 20 percent refund for the dissapointment, im gonna wear the heck out of em, im glad that i could reach a good solution. thanks for all the help DIY tutorial guy! i'll let you know if i need help with anything else
I like when things work out, even if it wasn’t according to the original plan. Enjoy wearing those new jeans, and don’t be afraid to wear them everywhere! The pair I wore 400+ times with only 3 soaks were worn in the delivery room when my 2nd daughter was born!
Did you notice a particular smell from those jeans? I have the green dragon in the strong man fit and I noticed that they have a very musty almost mildew we smell and it was so bad but the smell stayed. I contacted brakes are and they said it was from the sulfur in the dye and I'm curious if your jeans have that smell as well?
Thanks for commenting! Bummer to hear about your jeans. As for any smell from my jeans, I have not noticed anything as of yet. I wore them yesterday for about 10 hours and about 10 hours the day before and did not notice anything. Honestly, I have never experienced any issues with odor, so I’m wondering what’s up…
@@DIYTutorialGuy I noticed it right out of the package. The company, which I love and I have a few of their jeans and one of their jackets, said that it's due to the dye. It's the kind of smell you get when you leave clothes in the washer too long or when they get wet and they kind of have that mildewy smell. The smell is pretty strong and it makes my shirt and my boxers smell and I don't want to wash them again cuz I already gave them a light wash in the tub and I don't want to have to put them through a machine cuz I love the color and the fit. I don't know I guess I just have to get over it 😫
Hell no man, call Brave Star back and say they sent you a defective product. You can have them watch this video and see that I had no issue. Also, I just smelled my jeans now. No smell even close to what you are describing. Honestly, if Brave Star does not help you out.m, send them to me and I’ll do a video on them!
@@DIYTutorialGuy Good call. On both counts! Now I'm hoping some expert in dye processes leaves a comment describing some strange, only half-understood phenomenon that occurs only when the vat temp goes out of spec during Cinco de mayo
These days I’m an IT Project Manager. Still in education with a company that partners with organizations and provides education as an employee benefit. As for why I left the classroom, it’s the same story as most other former teachers…I asked for a raise, was flat out denied, yet saw the $$ funding unnecessary stuff for the CEO (charter school) and not going toward the kids. It was getting hard for my wife and I to make ends meet, we were getting deep into debt trying to stay afloat, so it was time to leave. I definitely miss it at times, as the kids in Philly were great and I feel benefitted from a role model such as myself; a guy who lived through some heavy life events, lived in poverty for years, has kicked ass and had his ass kicked, was a highly intelligent student but hated school, and beat alcoholism and a drug problem. These days I’m involved in youth sports and looking for opportunities to mentor kids. I feel that so many kids just need an adult, that isn’t a parent or teacher, to listen and help them on their journey.

The leather patch wasn't replaced, however the double-knees get the cloth logo on the pocket.
Agreed.
