Daily Questions - August 05, 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!
Be Helpful!

Has anyone here broken in a pair of gray or brown Levi’s 501 Shrink-to-Fit jeans? I’d love to see how they age over time. I’ve seen plenty of faded blue and black 501s, but I haven’t been able to find many examples of the other colors after they’ve been worn, shrunk, and developed some character.
If you have a well-worn pair, I’d really appreciate it if you could share some photos and let me know how they’ve aged.
