fit pics bro..show them all the rawhide shoelaces

already consider it will shrink 2 inches in length. so just wanna hem about 1 to 1.5 inches only. what do you think bro Chaz? should i soak em 1st or just hem it?
nice pair u got there also. how about sizing? if i wear 8uk in converse shoe, did i need to sizing down for red wing shoe?

u should definitely soak it before hemming, just to be safe

thanks for the suggestion.i think i'll cold soak it 1st before hemming. to be safe.

look at below pic for a comparison between raw momo and one wash momo..just to let u know how much is the expected shrinkage

from left:0701 size 29, 0701 size 31, 0805SP size 30

hi fellow forumers...
just got my Nudie Slim Jim Dry Broken Twill Jeans today...it's in W34 short
i got some questions and hope you guys can give some advice

1. is my Nudie sanforized or not? I tried to look up on nudie website..it doesn't really tell...
2. should I soak the jeans 1st?
3. around the thigh it's a bit tight but still okay..will it strech over time? or will it shrink? most probably Average Joe would fit me better...

this is my 1st raw jeans and would really appriciate any info given.. thanks

about the tightness,its ok bro,they will stretch.the tighter it is,the more it will stretch cause of pressure.
for me,i like it to be a bit tight first which later i know will stretch to the point i liked it to be rather than buying a size bigger.

Guys i got a pair of unbranded size 30. Button like 2 buttons only. How do i stretch them ? Thigh area kind tight but legging okay.

Wear it as muc as u can. It'll stretch. My little bro also can button his unbranded brand for couple of days. Ask him just to wear it to make it a bit stretch.

Hope my nudie will stretch nicely as time goes by...
Been wearing bout 12hours straight oreadi

Haha, malu a bit.

At least now i have a work colleague who's also into leather boots. Gonna learn about how to take care of them.

For my redwing, i stayed tts. Meaning your UK 8 converse would be the same uk 8 for red wing.

Be mindful the sizing for redwing is stated in US size. So your uk 8 would be us 9 size. Almost made the mistake ordering online in US sizes.

ive got 2 nudies. and yes they stretch.

Anyway, do u soak em 1st?

no.

should i?

Not sure myself..
That's y i ask...

i didnt soak my nudies,and yeah they still stretch.
dont worry jaguar those thigh part gonna stretch.and you can do some lunges in them to stretch it more.if the elastane is very low,once it stretch it will stay like that.i had the recycle dry pair that has the 3% elastane,it stretch quite minimal cause its kinda like stretching back in.

that soaking is also suggested for nudie to get rid of excess indigo.so your pair will fade faster,but if your nudie is organic cotton,that soaking wont help much in fading cause the organic cotton.


edit:
this the first pic i had with my organic dry ecru,which was a bit tight at the thigh and waist too.ngam2.sorry pics sucks.

this after around 1,5 years of wear.

the thigh and waist is comfortable now.

thanks for the heads up dlaz

no prob bro!!i had the same concern too first time i bought my nudie.but now i know already.

i presume the right one is the washed one right?so much shrinkage i would say. or is that after hemming?

no hemming done for each pair..pics taken once jeans arrived straight from okayama
