Our blog post today is Thorben aka @myself_and_denim. He is a denim fanatic from Germany that loves to use Instagram as a place to exchange opinions on denim from around the world and because to him, images can say a thousand words. He hopes that his feed can inspire others to try out outfits and wear raw denim. Now onto his story...

Can you tell us about yourself?

Hey everyone,
It is very nice that you will spend your spare time to learn something about me. Great! First of all I would like to introduce myself. My name is Thorben, I am 31 years old and I come from northern Germany. I own a house and have a son with my super nice woman who supports me and my hobby. Most of my time I spend with my family. We often go for a walk next to the sea and in the forest. 

In addition to my love for raw denim I like to go out with our friends. I especially like cafes or small restaurants. My favorite cities for eating and shopping are, Hamburg, Cologne and Berlin.

How did you start your Instagram?

All starts 2016 just for fun I have uploaded a picture with a pair of Raw-Denim and this was well received by the people. The second reason why I have my Instagram account is, I am only a part of the great denim community on Instagram, it is great to exchange opinions with others regarding everyday outfits you wear. Another reason is to inspire other people for their own outfits and perhaps also to encourage them to appreciate the nice quality of raw denim and wear them themselves. To my mind, Instagram is simply the best and fastest way to achieve this because images say more than a thousand words.

What does social media/Instagram mean to you?

For me, it's just fun in the first place. I mean, I got to know a lot of new and nice people through Instagram and I do not want to miss that anymore   and on the other hand it's great to share your love of good clothes and denim with others and the denim community is just great . I'm happy to be a part of it.

Any interesting encounters/stories through social media?

The best thing so far was the denim hang in cologne and the meeting of real denim experts. Many friendships have been formed and I hope there will be more in the future

What accounts/hashtags do you like to check out? Any recommendation?

Oh there are very many accounts which I follow and are to be recommended.
My favorites are: @ende_denim @sel.vage @robindenim @koenkuik @andreasbergstrom83 @redrawdenim @newenglandmenswear @dry_luke @hansjellema @fort_box_ @joe_pizarro and @duewelsblog. they were many now but I can recommend any of them! 

So now we come to the hashtags I follow. I do not follow many but still there are a few.
#rawdenim #selvedgedenim # 365daysofraw #mensweardaily #robindenimfades and of course #myselfanddenim ;) hope u will check it out :)

What feelings do you have for "Made in Japan" jeans/fashion products?

The products made in Japan are real top quality and it is always an honor to wear such a piece of it!  My favorite garments are made of fabric woven in japan, especially the one from Kojima really did it to me. So what can I say? I just love fabrics made in Japan.
