nice hoots! congrats!! rclxms.gif

mind to share how one cutting differs from another? i know the thin finn is the skinniest, what about the grim timm and slim jim?


Added on May 20, 2010, 9:29 am

Hmm, nice.

RW and Cons, eh?
*
basically the thin finn and the grim tim where design based on slim jims...the only difference between grim tim and thin finn is that thin finn has a lower yoke and back pocket where as grim tim has a similar top like slim jim...and both grim tim and thin finn has the same leg room

for the newbies in this thread...i would like to say this...before psoting questions that has been asked over and over and which has been answered over and over...to prevent this and to prevent annoyance of having to answer the same question over and over again it is advised that you go back a few pages and search for explanation of what raw denim is...what selvage is...what is unsanforized or sanforized raw denim...whether to soak before wear etc etc...alternatively you can always google them...

a quick answer to the mostly asked question here..regarding having to soak...only soak raw denim which are unsanforized..meaning denim which have not been treated to prevent shrinkage...

if you buy raw nudie, dr denim, apc, evisu no2,3,4, imperials, amongst other brands which are known for it sanforized denim it is not necessary for pre-soak...coz they wont shrink!

and my advise for those who's planning to get unsanforized denim...buy them true to size or one size down(its ok to get one size down) even though it will shrink after first wash...never size up too much...coz if u buy true to size or size down one it will stretch out as you wear them...so right after u buy them do not soak them straight...just wear them straight away for 6-7 month or a year for all you like...as it will stretch out up till 2 inches...believe me it will....

there are not much shrinkage in unsanforized denim...the most it will only shrink down 2 inches...whereas sanforized denim will have 0.75 inches of shrinkage or no shrinkage at all...

thus...if you buy unsanforized denim and you're a size 30, get yourself a size 30 or at least a size 29...and for me i would even size down to size 28 as i would wear them without the initial soak....and a size 28 will actually stertch out to a size 30...and a size 29 will strtch out toa size 31....then after 6 months or so u wash them or at least just soak it will shrink down back to the original size....and then u wear them again it will eventually stretch out again...

Again i would like to say...ALL RAW DENIM WILL STRETCH OUT FROM EVERYDAY WEAR, BE IT SELVAGE OR NON-SELVAGE!! SANFORIZED OR UNSANFORIZED!

And if you wanna know if the jeans u about to buy is sanforized or not do your own research...if not your search tab in your search engine would just be a waste...

Cheers =)

thin finn's looking mighty nice there. 8 mths with no fades yet? kinda stubborn eh?

but i gotta give more props to them imperials. honeycombs are coming out perfectly.

anyways, i've manage to drop by Uniqlo and was rather disappointed they didn't bring in the selvedge denims. would've love to get a pair of beaters.

thanks bro..yea...am loving the stacks and the combs are all settling in at the right places...hehehehe...

and about uniqlo..i just hope they would bring in some raw japanese denim...better still if they bring in them kaihara selvage denim line of uniqlos...hehehe

the weights do actually play a part but then it comes down to the wearer themselves...do not expect much fade if you just wear the pair for only, say, 3 hours a day...and u just wear them to school or uni or work....you've gotta play soccer in them, ride bicycles in them, go out for gigs in them, spend hours or days in them, or you wear the same pair everyday without changing at all!! hahahaha just kidding...but what im trying to say here is you gotta really wear them hard...dont be afraid to sweat in them or walk in the rain in them or spill some orange juice in them...dont be afraid if it might get stinky coz one they have smell you should straight away dry them or hang em under the sun inside out or put them in the freezer to help kill the bacterias..there are instructions on the net on how to care for raw denim...

coz if weights plays that much of a role in fading then my old 11oz nudie thin finn dry stretch would not fade beautifully in 5 months before...

so if you have been wearing them for 3 months it doesn't mean that u have actually wore them 3 months...if you wear them only 3-4 hours a day to go to the mall or go class without actually 'breaking' em, then do not expect any fadings...like any denim brands that produces raws...they will advise you to rock your pair hard!! like i said...play soccer in them or even have sex in them heheheh cheers


anyways i have a pair of dr denim for sale...worn only once...less than 4 hours of wear...size 28 but somehow it fits a bit loose....so i guess it will fit size 30-32 wearer perfectly....inseam is 32, tag size 28..condition is 9.8/10
