greetings from San Francisco.. i'm in deep sh_t.. so many choices here..and I'm right next to Levi's Union Square..they have every incarnation of the 501 selvedge you can imagine.. with white selvedge..to the reds.. visible rivets on back pocket, no diamond on back pocket, to the ones with zip fly.. and so on.. 501 vintage series made in USA from every significant year..

also.. i bump into the canada x japan, aka Naked & Famous x Momotaro..haven't seen any Dior Homme 19cm yet.. but I am getting weak.. especially with the Levi's when the sales advisor is so knowledgable and experience..and so many vintage choice available.. USD$250... hemming done on site if necessary..

You talking like some girl just grabbed your nuts. Get a grip mate. Lol. Ask the sales guy to shut up and just get you like 10 pairs and try them on and look at the best fit.

Dior won't be so easily available. They only have a few dior boutiques. Like there's one in Beverly hills i think. And one more somewhere else. That's it.

i would prefer a salesperson who knows his stuff rather than some that doesn't even know what they are selling .. (i.e most salesperson in Levi's store here in M'sia are clueless)

is Average Joe Dry Red Selvage more like Levis 501 cutting?

thanks in advance...eyeing to get my 2nd Nudie...

Yes. It is similar, as it is a straight cut. Grim tim is tapered below the knees.

Grim tim is a bit bigger on thighs. People who have bigger thighs would be perfect for the fit

I wanna buy a raw selvedge denim and i got a few questions :

1. Will the jeans expand/become tighter after wear it few time ?
2. When can the jeans be washed ?
3. What happen if i fold the jeans ?Will it leave a line/honeycomb or anything u call it ?
4. What is the best fit for a very skinny person ?I dont really like the stretch skinny fit from topman because its length is too short for me.
5. What is the name of fit which tight in the thigh area and not that skinny below thigh ?

And is there any Nudie/any famous selvedge jeans brand store in malaysia ?

Size down to 2 then. Get a 32/34. My waist is around 33w and after a couple of months, it stretched, not by a huge margin
But to the extend i need to wear a belt just to make sure its on the rught position.
But uf u have doubts, i suggest u wait, even thou i think finding 33w/34 would be hard nowdays

1. If its a selvedge, usually it will stretch a bit or a lot. Sizing down is recommended if u ask me.
2. Depends on u and how u wear it. Ive seen some ppl at sufu soak the jeans after 3 months. But only soaking. Like nudies they recommended 6 months of wearing before u washed it.
3. After washing i think its ok for u to fold it. But i dont see any problem folding it last time i went back to my home town ( i didnt wash or soak the jeeans till now)
4. Thats another thing that u have to fugure out urself. Its a personal choice. Go for the one u most comfortable with
5. Sorry cant help u. I could only think one cutting like that. Bootcuts
Nudies u have to get it online but in the other hand, naked and famous u can get it at MUSA at avenue k, klcc

1. Unsanforized raws will expand after about 40 hours of wear or so.
2. You can wash them any time. The recommended is usually after a minimum of 6 months, some people take it to 2 years plus. But some guys get fabulous fades even with monthly washing, so it doesn't really matter. What matters is you wear it rough and hard. Don't baby your jeans (I always do for the first month then get on with rocking it though tongue.gif)
3. Well, don't fold it after wears. Best to leave it where it drops on the floor so that the creases stay there - and you don't wanna have that weird fold-crease when the indigo runs.
4. Skinny jeans would suit you well, provided you know how to carry it. Like wear something buttoned, not some baggy tee. Wear beautiful shoes. Or just upload how you look and we'll criticize it for u.
5. Boot-cut? With bell-bottoms? Are you serious...

Uniqlo is good, but the only other one I know is Evisu in jusco I think...
You gotta ask the rest.

instead of folding the jeans, dont you have a place where you can hang it or lay the jeans down?

not to say look like rempit if wear skinny.. what makes you think that.. just wear what suits you or most comfortable with la.. care people think for what..
if you buy uniqlo's raw jeans, then maybe size 1 down. if not, just stay true to size la.

since cultizm dont have my size for GTDRS W33/34 now thinking of getting AJDRS with sizing 1 down W33/34....will these stretch like GT aswell? any AJDRS onwer here?

i wonder whats the actual waist size for this, coz from info its TTS but advise to size down by 1? or should i go for GTDRS W34/34 wear it loose perhaps with belts?

hmm....should i pull the trigger?
