How did you get the circle shape at your left pocket?? Just wondering lol


Added on April 16, 2012, 9:37 pmOh btw the dior is around 2 years old and
Washed once in washing machine for the 1st time

i dont see those nudie any better than dior..dont feel intimidated..it's all about sharing here..if u dont want others to comments or critics..u dont have rights to LOL at other personal preferences either...

Haha Thanks buddy! biggrin.gif I came in to this forum because i wanted to share and not show whos is better. It doesn't matter anyways..

I loved denim because during my college days I wear jeans out most of the time. Mostly topman and levi's ahh those were the young days.

As life goes on I meet all sorts of people and they exposed me to american designer labels and so forth such as true religion, 7for all mankind, etc etc and I bought all of those! Lol.

Then came along Lowyat and "The Raw Selvedge Denim Thread" I was exposed to raw denim. biggrin.gif Most of every poster in the thread hated the american designer labels which was interesting to me! Instead of arguing with everyone I thought to my self of trying and join the cult and I loved it! biggrin.gif No more true religions and 7fam for me!

RAW denim all the way, but I still do keep the american designer labels biggrin.gif Just for memory sake lol!

I would love to thank bro gnarkill for introducing and guiding me to this place! biggrin.gif

Here are some pictures for future references if anyone would like to do chain stitching

Chain stitch = RM 25
Crotch blowout repairs = RM 15
Taper jeans from straight to slim = (RM 30 normal) (RM60 Chain Stitch)

I wanted to increase the size of my other evisu jeans but he said he would add another fabric which look a little different than the current evisu fabric.. I guess I need to work out more to slim down =/

Which is the owner shop? The shop beside buntil cmiiw?

Hahaha I got really lost looking at all the denims around! At 1st I was assuming it was a shop selling denims, didn't expect it to be an alteration shop.. Awesome experience i would say.. Never been to this side of bb plaza before!

well what i meant was that it could have had more honeycombs which would make your nudie more appealing.but again,our raw denim tells about our daily activities,whether we cycle,walk,sit around,go hiking,wall climbing when wearing our jeans.so we do whatever we want with it.
Bro i just went there today lunch time!had to patch the crotch hole in my nudie.
didnt know they do a lot more like chainstitch etc.i might have my levis to be tapered there.


Added on April 18, 2012, 7:43 pm

i always notice that store bro.but didnt really see much collection,only saw the samurai on the walls for sale RM2k.
the rest i'm not so sure about it,whether its bundle which mean used stuff or fake.
they also have a lot of schott's jacket,quite nice but again has that bundle look to it.

Hahaha really? Ill be there again tomorrow to collect the jeans! Are you working anywhere nearby??

The parking at BB Plaza is RM4 sweat.gif sweat.gif so expensive
