Laundering my Uniklo raw selvedge for the first time today. Can't stand the filth anymore.

Show us the results when its dry. Remember not to drip dry... indigo will flow down and you'll have a darker blue near your ankles.

@layang,

Why do your jeans always look large and baggy? biggrin.gif lucky you.. casual Fridays.

Haha. Thanks. Maybe you can help me support tongue.gif

I didn't know 21 oz can stand as well. 32 ounces would surely be like wearing steel! I'm sure it will cut into your groin or something.. anyone wearing that would be walking like.. weirdly

Heyyyy? I see you posting after Mr linkinwayne's post in all the threads.

I've never seen a Frankenstein in rl. Looks blurry and rough. I'll head down to the city to have a look when I'm free. But it sure looks good in the pic^

If you never wear your APC, you'll never stretch it, it will never turn comfortable.

I had the same problem with my imperials. Until one day, I decided, fark it... I'm gonna wear you down till I see you torn and tattered.

There have been some results. Will do first wash end of this year or early next. The air is so sickeningly dry here that there is no smell even after 4 months of continuous wear.

Imperial

Kings - Straight
Dukes - Slim-straight
Shearer - Skinny-slim hybrid

I wanted the black shearers so badly but they weren't cheap. $290, and didn't have my size. So I got my indigo dukes. I got it for a bargain $150 + $20 shipping from Perth. Imagine, its Aussie made and I have to friggin import them from somewhere.

chuakz, machine is fine. But I handwash mine.

kot, keep those pics coming after every wash and compile them - should be fabulous when you're done with them.

Good to know we now have an N&F expert here ;]

Flannel denim eh?

So you mentioned you're tight with Jay from Blue Owl Workshop. I might need you to hook me up with some KMW, when I feel like my pocket hasn't got a hole in it.

25% off everything?

I saw the sale for KMW and.. it got me excited over nothing. I saw KMW as cheap as $125 which is more than half priced off $295.

But I realised I got confused with Triple Works. I want the Triple Works for their backpocket fades. KMW is something I'd get if I have extra dough and not enough jeans - which I have - according to many people.

Nope, 25% off tops and sales items only. I grabbed a pair of WvG chinos in expresso, only $75 +$10 shipping

Oh, damn. Not really familiar with WvG.

How much did the flatheads and momotaro cost? biggrin.gif

Shopping in Bangkok is annoying. Have to keep a close lookout for imitations everywhere.

@ treflip

Sounds like you didn't size down enough? tongue.gif How come have to wear belt now? Mine fits snugly. Yeah same here. At first, I couldn't fit hands into pockets as well. I put my wallet in the backpocket and couldn't take it out later.... had to break a sweat to find my bus ticket. Gay sheat >_>

Anyway, pls show pix after you wash ;D

@ kuzgo,

I think that won't be until year end at least. haha

The only diors worthy of mentioning here is their Made in Japan raws.

Even Made in Italy raws can't be here - cuz they aren't made with selvedge denim.

Diors are expensive because it is a designer brand after all. Celebrated designers, Hedi Slimane and Kris Van Assche design washes and cuts and that inflates the prices to insane amounts that I still shake my head at.

Easy low down for the newbies :

MOST jeans that are mij, would be of relevance to this thread - raw, jap selvedge denim, tighter weave, unwashed and true to their heritage.

MOST jeans that are mii, and are by designer brands (D&G, Dior, KVA, MMM, etc) have beautiful washed jeans. The only good stuff they churn out are the washes... some Dior washes are damn beautiful, but I won't go there cause this thread doesn't endorse stone-washed jeans ;]
