Please clean your computer. lol.

yup, the price is at least "retail price". this is also considering our currency against USD is low.

ahh.....so he does work with LVC? I didn't actually met him, the sales person did.

Apparently he said if you can get his autograph on your levis denim, the value goes up.

Haha, yeah right.

If i sign your jeans, it will be worthless! Lel.

I think they have. From the last time i saw.

Not humble, but that's the truth.

Anyone went to Art of Speed at MAEPS?

Share some photos.

check out the first post of this thread.

just bring them. you'd be more entice to see their jeans collection at the shop.

Nice Oldblue you got there. Where did you get them?

I dont think the Levi's shop in klcc can provide hemming service, especially chain stitching as I've asked the salesperson before. Might be wrong. You can check the first post of this thread for other shops that provide hemming and chain stitch services.

I see as reasonable. Being that the machinery they use is not the normal tailors can provide (e.g. chainstitch).

the roping effect is one of the consideration to have chain stitch. Aesthetic purposes though.

Well, since you bought the denim with chain stitch, it would be a shame if it were hemmed and not be chain stitch.

Guess you dont hot soak it and leave it long. That is what i believe causes shrinkages.

Just toss it in the washing machine. By the time it finshes, give a gentle stretch and air dry it.

It wouldn't shrink/stretch so much as your denim is mostly sanforized. If unsanforized, that's another ball game.

Once it's dry, wear them as usual. If it feels tight, just wear them and they will expand as when you wore it before the wash.

Normal handwash is enough. Tip: dont twist and squeez out the extra water after your soak. Your indigo bleed can ruin your fades.

Just gently squeez any access water and let it air dry.

Nice evo!

Aih.....why la my jeans dont progress so good.

first post of this thread.

is the second pic the same as the first?

It looks great from the side profile, but looks baggy from the back.

nevertheless, if you feel great about it, no one should stop you.

Welcome aboard fellow selvedge/raw denim member!

Just a quick update: tried my first time sea washing my denim.

Not something I'd do, but im currently in Lombok, and dont want to waste the opportunity sewashing them.

Yup. Just dive them into the sea!

Sounds crazy and probably gimmicky, but the sand supposedly sands off (sorry for the pun) the denim giving it a better contrast.

I dont normally do it, but i had a company trip to Lombok Indonesia, and just took the opportunity to sea wash it. Plus i haven't washed my jeans since i first wore them....since october 2014. Hehe.

Haha, yes. Learn it the hard way. Sands all over my pockets.

Make sure you thouroughly rinse them off before heading back to your hotel room.

Btw, anyone bought Old Blue Denim's 5th year anniversary jeans?

Never tried those specific denim detergents before. I just use whatever detergent i have at home. Seems fine for me.

Just wash it as you would on any normal clothes you have. Nothing special about these raw denims to be worried about.

But dont squeeze or twist the denim to rid of the access water if you soak it. Gentle squeeze is ok.

Other than that, i wont recommend putting it in the dryer or dry clean it.
