I legitimately forget it’s not normal to see flip flips on people year round outside of Southern California & a few other places lol

Hey I appreciate it!! Honestly I didn’t find the sub as obnoxious as others have made it out to be. Lot of nice helpful people over there. After a while of lurking I felt I had gathered enough information to make a few thoughtful denim purchases that’ll last me a decade, & then the sub didn’t have much utility for me because I don’t currently need to expand my wardrobe with more denim & I’m not a collector type anyway. But it’s cool to see the trend continuing in the direction of less gatekeeping :)

Totally agree however it is important to remember that most of the people on that sub treat denim as a full hobby and you don’t need to go down the rabbit hole of counting the number of days between washes for maximum fades in order to just get a good pair of jeans that will fit well for years.

Edit: wow my first award!! Thank you!! :)
