First of all, very nice fit pics. I love the thin Finn fit loads.
I have both the grim tim and thin Finn but I somehow always prefer to wear the gt. Will post my fit pic tonight after work =D
Btw, where did you get the red selvedge from? Not general pants right? That price tag looks like a cactus jam price tag =/ it's not really expensive if you work here. I can buy a new pair of jeans every 2 days. Pay rate here for a part time mcd or subway job is like aud15-20 per hour. I work 8 hrs a day =D

Yeah I was directing the question at you. Wow, I didn't know that there was a nudie outlet. I thought they only distribute to retailers like general pants. Do you have the address?

Long overdue pictures. Grim Tim Dirt Dry Organic 30/32
Thin Finn Organic Dry Ecru Embo 30/32
@ attacusatleas The Grim Tim has a lower yoke I think. I like the fit (because I prefer denim that hugs my lower waist), but I don't like how it is a bit loose around the thighs/knees area. Its as if it was made to fit those with bigger thighs. But it is more comfortable than the finns. I don't really like how the finns hug my waist a little higher, which results in the jeans being shorter for me. I'm 183ish cm, so they kinda don't stack for me  Comparison with the super tight and crotch busting Imperial Dukes 30
LVC 505s 1967 30/34 [Selvedge Washed] - present from girlfriend.

@ Kuzgo Yes, it is. Its huge here. I'm planning to get more of them next Wednesday, there's a mall-wide sale in one of the biggest malls around here. @ atta Ohhh!! Thanks for shedding some light for me there  Now I know why its named that way! Haha. Organic cotton is just so soft too  Not a wonder that it is hard to break though. PS:

@geno
Depends on the cut you want, the fit, and what do you want the jeans to do for you. I haven't seen too many n&f fit pics here. Can't comment on that.
@nazirul,

The black superdry hasn't been worn, the black levis i wear once in a blue blue moon. Indigo superdry is worn every single day for a minimum of 10 hours, sometimes up to 36 hours  Nudies gets worn on weekends, like alternating between the 2 ( I doubt they will ever fade, especially the finns ) Babying my imperial dukes still - only wear it on occasions! Haha. I know, effed up schedule Added on November 22, 2010, 11:38 pmI have still yet to wash the superdry, already at 8 months. Prob is I work everyday =/ it has yoghurt and stuff on it lol. I really should get into washing it. This post has been edited by Grimm: Nov 22 2010, 11:38 PM

Eh? Of course. Raw selvedges too. I hooted several polos today to go with my jeans.
And, am thinking of trying to get an APC or Dior Homme pair next month as my self-gift for Christmas (anything for an excuse to buy more jeans eh?).

Checked them out. They seem to stock lots of good stuff. I see great denim names [non mainstream] there.

Really now? I've seen lots of comparisons between APC and Dior Homme's 19cm and a lot of ppl have been b****ing about why Dior Homme is triple the price. Lots of ppl say that the material they use is different and the main differential is the more detail to attention given in a DH pair.
Still thinking of DH, but that would cost like 450 aud, which is very heavy.. =/

If my true size is 29 or 30 (and a good Nudie TFDOEE size on me would be 29), what would a Dior Homme MIJ Raw 19cm size be for me?
28? 29? =/
According to my research, they stretch not as much as APC, but more than nudies.
Added on November 30, 2010, 5:22 pmShit... the only one left is a size 26... would be a pain in the ass, crotch, balls and gag to wear. Such a cheap Dior zomg.

Is it a raw pair? Don't get me wrong, I'm not daft. But I know G Star Raw doesn't necessarily make raws.. its just the name
I've always admired G Star Raw though. The whole freaking shop is full of denim. A lot of coated ones as well as adventurously washed ones as well. But all very pricey for me. Minimum spend is 200 aud. How much was ur pair?

Its apparently a DOVA. Tried googling it and for the bloody first time, google failed me. There's almost nothing on the net about these jeans! >_< That's so awesome, I just wasted 2 hours of my saturday morning browsing sufu for dova. Fark. Time to sc2. And have some brunch.
