Hey ringring, those were great photos to illustrate the difference between the vertical and horizontal ring spun yarns. Thanks! It was very informative but I just want to further clarify...since you showed the front side to demonstrate "vertical" but the back to demonstrate "horizontal"...I'm not sure how to imagine ringring spun fabric. You say just imagine a combo. Do you mean that if a fabric has the vertical slubby lines on the front but the diagonal white slubby lines on the back...then that is "ring-ring"? Wouldn't having both vertical and horizontal ringspun yarn make the back look different? I think it would help if I saw how the back of the vertical type looks so that I can imagine it with the back of the horizontal type you showed. I have a pair of Prps that look like the vertical ringspun type but the back does not have the diagonal white lines of the horizontal type. How do I know if this is just plain vertical or ringring? I'm sorry this has turned into a tongue twister but you guys have made me REALLY curious about this! I never realized denim was this detailed! Thanks in advance.

Made up my mind to get a pair of dry selvage jeans and I've narrowed it down to Nudies or APC. The APCs fit me better in the thighs and I somehow like their "shine" better, and they are less expensive. I was looking at their hipster cut specifically. Unfortunately their waists are a little loose on me and if I try to go down in size the thighs are too tight. The Nudies (Regular Ralf) fit my waist better but the thighs are a bit too loose, plus they are more expensive. Can anyone help me come to a decision? Much obliged...

WHere is this Union store you speak of in NYC? Thanks
