Introducing the Scout – Making Your Raw Denim Hunt Easier

Some of the most common questions we get here are from people looking for advice on what pair to buy next:  Where can I find something Japanese and tapered for under 150 bucks? What jeans are made with Nihon Menpu denim? Who makes something with a 26 inch waist? 

To be honest, there are a lot of raw jeans out there and even if you’ve been deep into the culture for years, it’s impossible to remember exactly who makes what and where all of the time.

That’s why we’re proud to introduce the answer to all of those questions, the Scout. Over the past several months we’ve built an exhaustive raw denim database and paired it with a variety of search filters – price, brand, denim weight, fit, country, etc. – that will help you scout out exactly what jean you’re looking for. Simply adjust the filters, hit search, and you’ll see every pair that matches your specs from our index of over 4,000 jeans.

Now this is just the first version and we’ve done our best to make it the best, but we’ll be the first to admit there may be the occasional bug or typo floating around. If you happen to notice an error, missing denim model and/or brand, or just have a note about any brands or features you’d like to see, we’d love to hear about it. Just like a pair of jeans, it’ll get even better with some use and a bit of time.

But what are you still doing reading? Get on over to the Scout and try it out!
