again..lemme say this..if ur planning on buying pre-washed jeans you shouldnt be worried about the size..u can buy ur true size coz there arent such thing as shrinking/stretching issue (although there might be a bit of stretch but most of the time there wont be any). all that about the sizing down shit is applicable only if u buy raw/dry ones...

and to answer sembilan...yea dude i sized down 3...u sized down 4?? man!! youre the man!! hehehe...but i think its best if u bought a size 27 at least...i have a waist size 30..i bought the 27 and it hurts at first...after a few days of wearing it hard it stretches out and it became comfortable...when i meant hard it didnt mean that i went hiking in em hehehe....try going to bed with it..sit at home the whole day in it...do stretches in it...but dont be surprised after atleast a month of wear u'll find that u will need a belt hehehe...my 27 did actually fall off my butt when i ran once in them...that shows how much it stretches...but then again...it depends on what kind of cut ure looking for as well...if u wanna have that skinny look but not comfortable in sizing down 4 might as well u get ur self a nice pair of petite standard...i assume u bought the new standard?

goldlion dude!! ur lee's are dope!! classic cut man!! hehehe

btw anyone here ever bought a pair of levi's stf? not the selvage ones but the ones made from wide modern looms? its cheap!! and the fading and the hue it produces which i saw in mynudies are quite awesome!! but then again nothing beats the LVCs hehehe

tht is a good pair...looks good!! but then again..too bad its a pre-wash pair..would rock if its a pair of raw..

anyways..the sugar cane type II is dope...but its a pair of one wash sugar cane..i wonder how these pair would fade? would it takes more time for them to form all the creases and fading compared to a raw one? anyone has any experience buying this one wash canes? perhaps the one wash denime?

Thanks for the input guys.
Well, for Raw there will be always be next time. XD. Maybe a True Religion??  tongue.gif

Err.. Don't know it's just me or what, would you spend RM1000+ to something that doesn't fit at 1st? You wear it like only a week plus than only would fit. After 1st wash, the color also will look different? I'm kinda scared of it. Can someone enlighten me?  smile.gif

I see some of the Evisu in BAB is some EU. But, mine is stated there "Tokyo,Osaka". So I assume is a Japan region one. Also, some of the Evisu I tried is not even Selvage. Buying a Selvage one or non-selvage, what's the difference anyway? So, I assume mine is Selvage by looking inside out of the jeans at the bottom part?  unsure.gif

Gardens Levi's also have some LVC's. Red Tag and some 1940++ cutting. I'm not so interested in Levi's LVC anyway. I would rather spend it on Evisu/7Jeans/True Religion.  smile.gif
*
dude seriously...you'd rather spend a thousand on a pairi of pre-wash distress jeans rather than spending it on a pair of brand new, un-treated, non-distressed jeans that wont last as long compared to a brand new raw? its like u spend more on a second hand car which is already worn out rather then spending less on a brand new one..its like buying a second hand BMW which has not been taken care off, that is falling apart waiting for the days to crumble rather then buying the latest brand new BMW model fresh from the show room or may be the factory...

why i would rather spend more on a pair of raw that would not 'fit me at first' which will be snug fit and would loosen up a week after is the way it should be coz...u would buy a jeans that would fit you rather than buying a pair that would not, i.e that is loose...coz buying raw jeans that is tight or fitting at first would result in a perfect fit that would confirm to ur body shape...imagine if u buy a pre wash fit that is in the beggining fits u slightly loose...would be even more looser as u wear them? would it not fit u perfectly on ur body after a few wear? and it being pre wash how can u ever possibly make it fit u again by washing the jeans as it wont shrink down at all?? plus if you buy a raw pair it would last you a life time rather than buying a pre-washed distressed jeans that has a lesser life span of may be half or more than half compared to a brand new raw pair...

and you would rather spend your buck on true religion and 7 jeans rather then the ever superior levi's LVC that is the true classic that started it all?? my gosh u better get ur info and knowledge straight son sweat.gif reason why i said so is...if you really wanna go into this denim culture u have to start seeking for all this info... icon_rolleyes.gif and to the denim enthusiast and their argument being very logical is that, lemme make it easier for a term to be shortened and to be easily understand...true religion and 7 jeans are crappy shitty designer wanna be premium jeans that rips off customer's money with their ever high price but lacking in quality... Levis LVC being expensive is considered naturally occurring phenomenon..they started it all and if u wanna compare the quality in superiority, LVC has the upper hand compared to true religion or 7 jeans...honestly all the other designer brands are wannabes...Levi's keeping it true and having the best material built in them is something compared to true religion or 7 jeans that has 'nothing' built in them if u wanna compare it...unless u wanna compare evisu and true religion or 7 jeans i can say you should pick evisu but go for the raw japan made or at least the heritage or the numbered selvage ones like the no1 or no2 etc etc...do not go for the EU ones..to tell u the truth the eu ones is not suppose to cost you a bomb like above 1k...the EU ones are the shittiest evisu line...somewhat the same status as the evisu X puma...

to make it easier for u to know which brand are considered premium denim are the ones that are known to be japanese brand denim like samurai, sugar cane, denime, flathead, iron heart, momotaro, doubeworks, Edwin, rbj, japanese evisu, pbj, etc etc...these denim can be compared to Levi's LVC...the reason why japanese denim and japanese denim brand is the most superior denim compared to others is a whole different story which i assume you guys are able to look for it yourselves.....so premium denim can be rated as such, beggining with the japanese denim makers being on top (and perhaps LVCs are catogoraized here as well, correct me if im worng), then non-japanese brand denim which uses japanese selvage material such as naked and famous, APC, nudie, dr denim, etc etc,,,brands like true religion, 7 for all mankind, ed hardy, etc etc are considered last or not even being in the category of premium denim at all to some denim enthusiasts. in other words these brands like true riligion etc etc are, once more, wannabe premium denim brand and to some would call it 'posers'. They are hyped up just becoz of celebrities rock them and not becoz of pure quality and soul of the denim...i.e they are expensive purely becoz of the fact that they are designers and not becoz of the quality they possessed..

but then again in the end its up to u and ur preferences...if u like true religion and all these designer brands with no quality then go for it...if u like these japanese premium denim that has quality in them then go for it...but its up to u to decide and its up to ur wisdom as well...spend your money wisely...think about it yourself peace guys icon_rolleyes.gif

ps..japanese premium line, levis LVC, and the non japanese brand denim brand that both uses japanese selvage are considerd superior compared to the wanna be premium designer denim brands like true religion are so is becoz these premium denim brands uses japanese made selvage denim and american made selvage cone denim whch are the best in the world...God knows about the material used in brands like true religion, 7 jeans, ed hardy, evisu EU, evisu puma etc etc uses in their denim...and plus having the low quality denim material build in them and for the fact that they are pre-washed and distressed?? my gosh imagine how low the quality of the jeans would be after all the distressing...how easy it would break!! would u spend 800 bucks or so on something that would break easily compared to raw denim? think about it... hmm.gif rclxms.gif

Wow Treflip !! Thanks for the informative reply !! You rock. Finally, after much research, I can finally see a proper information on Raw Jeans.

Don't say peace out or something. I'm not angry nor pissed off.  biggrin.gif Also, you're kind enough to take your time typing the wall of text to enlighten me. Aisk, but I just spend RM1k on a Pre-wash Evisu. So, is mine a Japan or an EU one? Where to find Japanese Evisu which is RAW ? I have some savings and CNY is coming soon. May just get another pair.  smile.gif

Now, I see the worth in Levi's LVC. Where can we get see more RAW Jeans as in inventory in retail stores? I'm located in Kuala Lumpur as I'm a student pursuing my studies in here. But, every 2 weeks, I will go back to Johor Bahru for the weekend. I may just drop by Singapore for a walk or something since it is so near to my place. *40 minutes drive if no jam*  icon_rolleyes.gif

Care to drop me some places to check it out? I can also tell you guys what's available there. Orchard or somewhere else. You just name it.

PS: Dang you awesome people, now I'm thinking of buying another pair of Evisu's.  sweat.gif

BIG THANKS TO TREFLIP AS WELL!!!  notworthy.gif

No no..peace just a phrase i alwasy use la bro..its another way for me to say 'signing off'....well its ok that u bought the pre wash evisu..but whats done is done..so just rock it till its really broken into...urs i think is not the japan nor th eeu one...the eu one has the eu written on the leather patch..yours is most probably made in maccau...all i know u can only get japanese made evisu, well in japan of course...or u can get them from the blue in green webstore online or u visit the blue in green store itself in new york as they are the only one in the states that brings in japanese made evisu...i think may be they are the only online store besides japan site that carry japanese made evisu...other than that evisu's are either made in maccau or china or italy..etc etc...in kl the only good one for me is the levi's LVC..other than that there is oen shop in bangsar called juice which carry's in japanese brand street wear stuff like head porter and such and they also have this one raw denim by head porter plus....but since u alwasy go back to JB and always go to singapore than ur best bet is get them in singapore...u can go to queen's couture, front row, the lawn etc etc..they stock up good jeans..and also u can always visit uniqlo and get them all japan made raw selvage jeans for a good decent price...rather then buying evisu i recommend you contact this dude and visit his thread..he can help u get better jeans like the flat heads etc etc

i just bought evisu lazy S jeans.
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?
*
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...

Oh come on pal.. gimme a break. 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!

To all newbies,  just visit the goddamn "Superdenim" forum!!!

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 smile.gif i did say at the end of my argument that no matter what others would say or other's opinion that at the end of it all its up to the individual and that person's taste.. cool2.gif and i can tell u that my taste evolves and the things that i know i gained through my life's experience..my taste was from loose cut jeans which i dont care about the wash to a classic or modern cut jeans with it being raw smile.gif and now i've learn from it all...from being ignorant about denim (owning pre-washes jeans which are expensive and money wasting) to the fact that at least now i have an idea about what this denim thing all about...

all i was doing is just voicing out my opinion..in my own way

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

I'm a College Student. Walking around the campus or attending lectures in class is what I do the most.

As a newbies in selvage jeans, I wonder why the brand Evisu is not as popular already. I can see some threads bashing about Evisu in forum SuperDenim. I thought they're great?
*
i guess its because of the fact that the last collection which u see with the huge design of diacock etc etc with the weird out look was designed by the same designer of ed hardy....that collection was terrible...but now from what i've heard is that evisu is going back to basics...slowly going back to where they started...

@treflip,
oh yea. How's your 21oz Naked and Famous doing??
What's your comment in 21oz Jeans? Heavy? Hard to walk or some sort?

Am thinking about 21oz sammies. Or perhaps 24oz sammies?
They have it in Blue in Green.
*
havent really been wearing them as it is on a very low rotation coz i'm working more on my current APC...but all i can say about the 21oz is it is very thick but not that stiff tho..coz n&f didnt startch the 21oz unlike APC which are highly starched...i may buy a starch spray soon for my 21oz but still considering...but 21oz is already hot to wear...and i bet 24 oz would boil u out!! hahaha

anyone familiar with edwin jean? i bought this jeans awhile ago and was wondering if it would stretch out after wear...

i think raw denim in general will stretch...its the nature of the jeans being raw/unwashed...so no matter what brand if it is pure raw it will stretch =)

Hmm was just wondering about Raw jeans. I started buying premium denim since last year and currently own a few but i have never own any raw denims yet sad.gif

So i would love to purchase 1 Dior Homme Made in Japan Raw denim, I was wondering since its raw do i need to avoid wearing white shirt or maybe sofas/chairs just in case it will stain it haha

i know my questions very funny will post pics of all my denims soon biggrin.gif
*
no worries bro...the looks of stains from ur raw denim on white sneakers and on white fabrics are one of the most beautiful sight on earth!! hehehe...seriously to me it is...i dont mind getting my white kicks being stained by all the bleeding indigo...u know ur jeans are pure raw if it bleeds like no body's business...

btw i found this one raw skinny denim at topman and it was awesome!! it does not have the typical topam jeans embroideries on them pockets...plus at the hem it has chain stitching.. and the whole cut reminds me of my beloved nudie thin finn dry stretch (non-selvage ones)...this topman raw skinny jeans arent selvage but the fact that its raw makes me think of getting it every day and night...still considering of getting it...but i dunno...what do u guys think? it really reminds me of my thin finn and somehow i have the urge of getting another new pair of nudie thin finn either dry stretch or getting another pair of dry stretch selvage again....the smell of the raw denim itself is similar to the raw denim u find on nudie jeans
