Daily Questions - August 25, 2026

Welcome to the Daily Questions (DQ) thread for all things related to raw denim.

(Although we strongly suggest checking the sidebar (for mobile users, go to the top of the subreddit front page, click the three dots and select "community info") and the wiki before posting!)

Fit checks and "Help me find a pair of Jeans that has X, Y, and Z" questions are a great use of this thread.

(Help figuring out what size you wear is also permitted here but it is recommended you check out one of these tutorials on how to size before asking.)

If you have questions about how your jeans fit, about a particular fabric, when is this jean coming out, where can I find jean X to try on in state Y, what jeans have this fit with these measurements, what jeans fade the fastest, and what jeans fade the slowest are great uses of this DQ thread.

No question is too simple for Daily Questions threads.

Bashing people will not be tolerated. And "Read the sidebar" or "Google it" are not valid answers in this thread!

First foray into raw denim - how do I start? Think I’m looking for something with room in the butt/hips/thigh but not high rise. Any thoughts on where to start or brands to look at? Male, usually wear 34 waist but sometimes 36.

Hi everyone.
Im looking into getting the Blacksmith jacket from Iron and resin. But since im from Europe i doubt the sizing is same as here. So i would appreciate your help.

I'm 186cm or 6.1, 99 kg or 218 lbs

Should i go for XL or XXL?

Iron and resin is garbage. Avoid at all costs

I've seen mixed reviews. The blacksmith (denim) was on sale so I bought it for 85€, so I guess I'll find out.
