This is on the smoother side of raw denim and a lovely high rise straight leg fit if that's what you want.

I think sugar cane also has a slimmer fit if needed.

For smooth texture, I'd look into Momotaro. Their long-staple Zimbabwean cotton fabric is very smooth and sleek with minimal texture.

If you want to go into the extreme smoothness, they also make a silk-cotton version of their jeans ($$).

That seems like a good choice, I haven’t thought of them thanks

Yeah these are one of the choices I was thinking I’m between 100 and 200 models, I’m not really into their silk offering plus it’s way too expensive

definitely momotaro. I am wearing a pair of the silk cotton jeans and easily the most comfortable pair i have. I tried on the cashmere cotton ones in okayama and they were a dream. I wish I could splurge on them.

The regular zimbabwean are very smooth as well. You could also try japan blue for cheaper option (momotaro's baby brother brand)

Yeah I think momotaro will be my next pair although I wanted to try another brand, but at the moment my most worn pair is a black momotaro before the rebranding.

I dont have experience with fullcount, but I think they also use zimbabwae cotton. Not sure if their is textured or smooth. if you want to explore a different brand

Yeah that’s another option, also from photos big John and the flat head seem smooth, the problem is I don’t have any shops in my country that have any of these brands to see and try them in person.

Wow, I'm super envious. How has the fading been on the silk pair? Even after wearing a bit, has the sheen still stayed with the pants?

I'm holding out hope for a Type 1 (XS) silk jacket since I already have their standard Type 2 jacket (S) and it fits me a bit large. Funny thing is when I bought it, they had no XS size and only come out with that a few months after (earlier this year)...

im still quite new to the pair haha, so no fades yet. I will update further down the line. The sheen is definitely my favorite part, so I hope it holds
