Nice stacks. thumbup.gif

On another topic, I've searched high and low about how to cuff/roll the jeans length. I got some ideas but any suggestions from sifus here?

I'll post the fit pics soon so I hope you guys can advise.

In the meantime

hey guys, im gonna wash my nudies for the first time in 2 years, i think 2 years should be long enough. just wondering what is the best way to wash the jeans n what detergent should i use.? water temperature.? cause keep on seeing different methods of washing raw denim, would like toknow what u guys gotta say. smile.gif

CHEERS !
*
read/heard from my lurking about washing raw denim among it was to turn it inside out and use vegetable soap to wash them if you don't have a proper denim wash available.

Let the sifus add from here.

Btw, snap some pics before and after washing them. nod.gif

Congrats on your 0700SP.  I have a pair too.  I wear it with one cuff but i hemmed them to about 33 inseam. 
Would be great to see another person in Malaysia wearing the Go To Battle stripes here smile.gif
*
thanks man! i worry if i hemmed it before first wash the inseam is gonna shrink.

right now i'll be doing 2 rolls/cuff and let them stack a bit. no wash for the minimum 6 months.

Looks a bit weird, but those pictures of people wearing jeans from Lightning Magazine seem to be ok. Gotta respect them Japanese for pulling it off. tongue.gif

Don't worry about the shrinking, it is sanforised. So very minimal shrinkage.  But if you can pull it off with cuffing and stacking together, why not, any fit pics ?

been meaning to get some fit pics. Ill get them soon. But im kinda like the roll up look. tongue.gif

i'm in with a custom made jeans from a denim tailor yey!!!!

im still roughing up mine, but no significant difference.

Probably a seperate thread with clear guidelines is needed.

QUOTE(treflip @ Jan 12 2012, 06:29 PM)
any raw denim will stretch out after wear...dont worry bro..i know this person from singapore who works at this store called very woooonderland who owns a pair of unbranded skinnies as well....he cant button the top button the first week he wears it....instead hold it in with a belt...so just keep on wearing it...try sag them down everyday you wear em and try to stretch the waist so it stretches out..in no time it will stretch out and u can button it...try doing squat exercise in the jeans...that will help too...
*
yeah, them raw jeans will stretch from my experience. I thought i was getting slimmer, but it was my jeans expanding. Feels bad man. tongue.gif

QUOTE(apsidewatch @ Jan 12 2012, 09:41 PM)
btw, is it me or that n&f skinny guy have small room for my balls? i find it squeezing mine pretty well.. the weird thing is i find that its comfortable during my early wears.. does my jeans shrink or my set is getting bigger? rclxub.gif

Lost the right pocket thanks to skating, yeah this was very loose for me. The color really faded over time. I guess wearing loose cuts won't give you the nice honeycombs & whiskers everyone desires  blink.gif

You skate in those jeans?

Pretty hardcore. biggrin.gif

QUOTE(Stinky Fart @ Jan 18 2012, 11:48 PM)
I already have one. Its a stiffy14 by cheese denim. Wanted a nudie, but due to the vanity sizing I had to find a w26 and it sure is hard to find a w26, so went for cheese w28(smallest size they offer). Now it measures 31' lol

any fit pics? Wanna see the fades from cheese denims.

as so i heard, organic cotton is harder to break. where did u take it to?

I gave up my patience breaking into my organic denim slim jims from nudies. Would be more dedicated if i didnt have my japan blue x momotaro.

Probably down the road when i dedicate more time to breaking them.

QUOTE(LAYANGLAYANG @ Jan 26 2012, 12:02 PM)
Junky man, I got no problem button up. The jeans is not that stiff compare to 666xhs.
Guys, I'm in for the denim contest , just for the fun. Only if you guys let me wear my PBJ+Take 5 which has not seen much light since i bought it many moons ago, probably collecting dust now.  smile.gif
*
probably your hands/fingers are more adapt handling new raw denims.

Please join the fade friendly! I seriously dunno what's the guideline, but just jump in.

QUOTE(treflip @ Jan 26 2012, 04:36 PM)
if there is a proper shop in KL that carries in japanese denim like the denim store in singapore with prices about the same as in singapore would you guys support the shop and buy or would you guys still buy from online stores? was wondering
*
Yes please. We want local shops where the heart and dedication to provide quality denims to Malaysians.

Bro tip: discount to lyn forumers. Especially from this thread. tongue.gif hehe.

But seriously, we'll support it.

Which online store would you recommend in purchasing Nudies, 7 For All Mankind?

A quick search for nudies here in the garage sales can bring up some good results.

For 7formankind, you can check out klcc.

^ yup, i agree with soul. If you have the money, go for the high end momos rather than jb x momo.

Had a strange encounter today. Was at a kids b'day party when suddenly the catering guy commented abt my jeans. Had a lengthy conversation with the guy.

It was nice to meet in person a fellow denim head. biggrin.gif

you need to wear your raw jeans for at least 4-6 months before washing to get contrast fades like that..

for me i'd go for 4 months but try wearing ur jeans hard...cycle in it...go concert moshing...running...jogging etc...if your jeans is wet coz of sweat hang it straight away under the fan asap or air dry...after 4 months do a hand wash as the first wash =) but for me i would soak it once before wearing it for the first  time to open the fibres up for a nicer fade..an advise given to me by kiya of selfedge =)
*
Good tip about why to soak first. nod.gif too late for me though.

Probably a future pair i'll consider this.
