jeanophile 

(n) People absolutely and completely addicted to denim. Often found browsing the newest Japanese and Italian brands sewn on vintage selvedge looms, and participating in fashion and denim centered communities, such as Superfuture where they discuss the intricacies of selvedge, indigo dyes, cotton quality, weight, and cut.

These people are most often engaged with their raw (untreated) denim, spending hundreds of dollars on a single pair to wear relentlessly for multiple months and no washes to achieve the desired look.

If you can name a brand, these people look down on it. Diesel? Rock and Republic? Seven for all mankind? True Religion? Jeanophiles wouldn't be caught dead with them. APC, Dior Homme 19cm, Dry Bones, Samurai, 45RPM, Flat Head, and Studio D'Artisan are more their type.
Guy 1: Jeez, man, why don't you wash those things already?
Guy 2: Naw, I'm only three months in on these. I'm not about to fuck up the fades.
Guy 1: What a jeanophile.

Japanophile

A Japanophile (or Nipponophile) is an individual with a love for or interest in all Japanese things. Some notable Japanophiles include Lafcadio Hearn and William Adams, the latter of which personally knew the illustrious Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu.

What Japanophilia does not indicate however is the merit of one's character; a truth that conflicts with the popular perception of Japanophiles as necessarily being a vocal minority of socially, intellectually, and hygienically inept youngsters. The term is often applied dubiously to these troubled youths by people who do not appear to distinguish between Japanophilia and infatuation with Japanese animation and/or other related niche hobbies and interests.
