We all want high-quality raw denim goods, but we don’t always want to buy them brand new, or we simply can’t afford to. High costs aside, sometimes we just can’t be bothered with breaking in new raw denim, we might really want something that’s already broken in, pre-washed, and faded. There’s nothing wrong with wanting quality-made raw denim faded and distressed ahead of time, even if you didn’t set the creases and honeycombs yourself, worn-in denim goods are eternally cool looking. You might even be looking for your discontinued denim grails (ROY jeans, anyone?), but you’re not exactly sure how and where to find them.

Why Buy Secondhand?

Buying secondhand is smart in a lot of ways. It saves you money, for one thing. If the denim is already broken in, chances are good that you’re not paying full price (this isn’t always the case, some secondhand clothing vendors up-charge for rare, highly broken-in, distressed, and faded raw denim items). Secondly, you’re eliminating a lot of invisible fees, like import fees, taxes, etc. by avoiding purchasing an item new.
