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 thread.
No question is too simple for Daily Questions threads. Bashing people will not be tolerated and "Read the Sidebar" is not a valid answer here!
Also, we recommend sorting this thread by new comments.

WAYFT = What Are You Fading Today?
Post photos of your outfits incorporating raw denim here.
After the 777 and 666, now the 888. With this fit I feel most comfortable around the thighs. What do you think about the 21 oz and 16 oz? Size 33 in 16 oz seems a bit too big to me. For comparison also the Fullcount 1103, not washed fit, but washed once by the store.
I would like to keep 1 or 2 888 jeans.

PSA: You can shrink/fix knee bags on jeans by ironing them and/or spraying them with water and drying.
Maybe I will get hate from purists, but for those who are trying to go for a slimmer cleaner look with their jeans, knee bags absolutely destroy the silhouette. I didn't see anything about resolving this "issue,"on here, but did find some historical posts lamenting knee bags on their jeans, so I thought I'd make this post, if anything just for someone's future reference.

Knee bags occur on jeans cotton jeans especially if one sits a lot, and they're basically larger versions of "hanger bumps" on shirts. There is no real way to completely avoid knee bags unless someone just never bends their knees and/or never sits down in their jeans, so the best way to maintain a sleek silhouette on slimmer jeans is to perform the above maintenance once in a while. Seeing as we're on r/rawdenim, let's make use of the high-quality cotton we have in our jeans and take advantage of its stretch and shrinking properties!
