There is a Superdry jeans in Tangs SE right now in size 30. The only jeans I've seen that got me excited. Beautifully made, soft, lustrous. Sanforized and non-selvedge, but who cares.

Sorry for boring you; I try so hard to be interesting. Would I bore you less if I started talking about you and your fits?

I just realised that one of the reasons I like this thread is a lack of brand orientation. Instead, people here are concerned with quality, provenance, and fit.

well these are 58" to 60" cloths sold by the meter so automatically there is selvedge. however, i since these are double width there won't be enough selvedge to run the entire length of the seam un less i buy twice as much cloth as i need.


Added on June 20, 2011, 2:55 pmoh i noticed they also carry kuroki and nisshinbo denim...

Nice nice... you'll have to think about button fly/zip fly, copper/bronze rivets or other alloys of your choice perhaps? 4 + 1 pockets (coin pocket?)

For the top button, maybe you wanna do away with it and have a clasp instead? Many exciting details to think about!! biggrin.gif

High rise, low rise, low yoke, amount of tapering.. all customised. This is damn exciting. Maybe you can set up this business tongue.gif pioneering customised denim O_O

i think i'll ask them where to buy the trimmings, though for what I have in mind a chino-like construction (but jeans fit) is very appropriate.

the 30" stuff are not light enough (min 12 oz) so i think i'll just go for the 60" stuff because i can find 9 oz denim

Horn button fly with horn button waistband closure, patch pockets and yoke like uniqlo but with more room for the butt and a touch more room for my thighs.

anyway i've already asked for 6 swatches to be sent to me, all in the 9 oz category. one is a cotton/linen mix.

you know, i might even get a tailored jacket made of the same fabric as the jeans... a denim suit.


Added on June 20, 2011, 6:45 pmi would never consider having a jacket made of heavy denim, but with something featherweight like 9 oz, why not?

You people have no taste?

Look at how the skinny fit flatters him. How his stork-like legs are accentuated by the jeans from the bony thighs to the impossibly thin ankles. The boots, bulkier than normal shoes, make the legs appear even more lidi-like (which is the whole point). Depending on how his shirt sways, the crotch bulge is intermittently visible. Sexy.

That was the view from the front. From the back you see the concave hamstrings and flat butt cheeks. Displaying both is the current vogue and those who do not appreaciate these have no taste.

Altogether very high fashion, the skinny jeans aesthetic brought to its finest implementation. Sexy like the bound feet of ancient China.

That alteration is about as good as is possible. How else are you going to taper it? (That was not a question.)

At least they didn't do it the way this shop in KLCC did it to a forumer's selvedge. The jeans came back a non-selvedge after the alteration, LOL!

I think it would help if u specify what kind of stain are u referring to bro!! different stain needs different treatment! im sure the sifus in this thread will be able to help you! btw, is its food stain which contains oil, what i did was suck the stain using my mouth. The saliva in the mouth would be able to resolve the food material from the denim. Just my 2cents

You f***ing put your stinking jeans which has not been washed in months in your mouth?!!!
