QUOTE(hedonkop @ Feb 8 2010, 12:02 PM) how about 3sixteen? ok thx..http://www.selfedge.com/shop/index.php?mai...=index&cPath=82 i'm not sure too either this one is raw or not. the only thing that i know was this pair is a sanforized denim, so it wouldn't shrink too much. QUOTE(OdynVovk @ Feb 8 2010, 04:03 PM) which part of canada ? if shes already in canada why not ask her to go around and get one since buying online from canada is the same as buying online in malaysia apart from the exchange rate and shipping fee/duration. yes she's in vancouver.. but i don't know which jeans i wanna get so i thought i'd look it up the net and choose.. unless i can get recommendations and pick one, get the code and give it to her..naked and famous - http://www.underworld-shop.com/client/clas...date_desc&size= a.p.c & nf - http://www.havenshop.ca/ShowProdByBrandId....ber=1&BrandId=3 since shes azn, if shes in vancouver tell her to go to Dutil in gastown. if shes in toronto, tell her to go to nomad http://www.nomadshop.net/main/ |

QUOTE(doom_eulogy @ Feb 8 2010, 11:25 AM) i just bought evisu lazy S jeans. i suggest you soak them first before doing any alteration...but then again how tall are u and whats the current length of the inseam of the jeans yea? if the tag says it will shrink i think its a unsanforized denim and the length would shrink along...and i suggest u read on about unsanforized jeans...coz some o read they would wear the jeans for a few days then only soak the jeans...but some soak it straight away before washing...planning to alter the length to make it shorter. it says on the description of the jeans, it will shrink 1-2inches after the first wash. so, shud i alter the length 2 inches more from my usual length?

Lookin from your buy-sell history, you had bought then sold some pre-distressed / pre-treated LVCs. Only recently you turned into a holier-than-thou deadstock-raw-rigid denim freak! yea i do admit i have a few of pre-washes before...amongst the raws that i own...no one can deny all raw denim freaks started out owning distressed denim without knowing anything...i admit that...and through the years i learn and now i'm just sharing it To all newbies, just visit the goddamn "Superdenim" forum!!!

Added on February 8, 2010, 10:26 pm its says on the label that the jeans are sanforized and will shrink 3%-5% after washing. this is my frist time buying new selvage jeans. before this i only bought used jeans. im 179cm tall and inseam usually 31-32inches. |

hmmm if that is the then u can alter but then again if u do make make sure u alter it not too much...if the evisu has a 34 inseam just alter it to a 33 to be safe or 32.5...coz when u wash it it will shrink a bit...unless if u r rajin enough to stretch the inseam after ur first wash when its still damp...to get the desired inseam length...and since urs is sanforized then u can straight away rock ur pair without having to soak it first

QUOTE(OdynVovk @ Feb 8 2010, 10:34 PM) great! then she should definitely hit up Dutil (on 303 West Cordova Street) since they have an amazing collection of everykind of denim. they are one of the main stockist for a.p.c and the Naked & famous and has almost every model/cut available (even the 24oz and kevlar denim). other than dutil, there are other places that stock up on a.p.c such as eugene choo, havenshop, holt renfrew in downtown vancouver and gravity pope on broadway. all of them have a markup a.p.c price of $CAD195-198 exclusive of 13% tax. but i suggest her going to dutil especially in the morning because there are 2 very lovely lady workers, especially Kayley, who seems to know everything about denim and are most likely able to help your aunt pick up the jeans u want. one thing tho, since its in gastown and 2 blocks down the steam clock, parking's a b**** so she might have to do some walking. ok cool.. after a short while of browsing, im thinking of getting this: http://www.nakedandfamousdenim.com/?page_id=79this is how dutil looks like » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « those jeans on the right are all a.p.c, lvcs, and n&f. lol. will this be available or is the website not up-to-date (i saw one of the jeans with the comment "ARRIVING FALL 2008!")? will these shrink after wash? and im looking at apc, new cure or new standard, what you reckon? |

QUOTE(treflip @ Feb 9 2010, 02:34 AM) alrite thx..QUOTE(OdynVovk @ Feb 9 2010, 04:25 AM) both WON'T shrink after wash. and yes, the weirdguy indigo selvedge is already out for quite a while and is available. judging from some of your waywt pics jind86, u need a sized down 2 NS since youre not exactly on the slender side ;p. ok.. so the weirdguy indigo is true to size and NS i should get one size down?i was reading the new standard's selvedge is red, but what about the new cure? Added on February 9, 2010, 10:58 ambut then again i thought i'm suppose to expect a little shrink from sanforized denim, no? This post has been edited by jind86: Feb 9 2010, 10:58 AM |

Guys, Samurai Jeans any good??
http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?...emart&Itemid=28 This pair is a RAW JEANS right? Let's say my true waist is 32". What size should I get? According to this forum, http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=48318 S5000 series should size down 1 for relax fit. So, I shall get Size 31 for myself? Please advice. Thanks. |

QUOTE(OdynVovk @ Feb 9 2010, 11:40 AM) no, u should definitely size down at least 1 for the weirdguy cut while the NS should be sized down 2 for you. both NC and NS has red selvedge but the NC doesnt have the selvedge line since its tapered. yeah from experience it does shrink a little after soak but it will stretch right back out after you wear them. ok.. so i think i've decided on:1) weird guy indigo selvedge - http://www.nakedandfamousdenim.com/?page_id=79 2) apc new standard in black any objections? lol.. |

QUOTE(OdynVovk @ Feb 9 2010, 03:17 PM) fyi, the sizings are basically ppl's general consensus of how they want those jeans to fit. for sammies u cant really go wrong as they dont stretch like rubber as a.p.cs do. thats why sizing for apc jeans are so tricky to begin with (and their vanity sizing policy isnt helping too). so the general consensus for a regular fit for the s5000 model is going down 1. I see. Don't mind me asking but what is the meaning of "sammies"? Another thing, why are some 17oz and some are 21oz? What's the differences? Weight? Thickness? |

sammies refers to Samurai denims. if you've been reading, BIG increased their prices for samurai products recently. a whooping 40usd a pair.
