Get a vintage slim tie...sincerely. I don't usually reply this, if you want a brand you want a brand but in that case it's not worth it. If you had wanted a "special" tie , like fade to black's glittery one for exemple, instead of a plain black, looking into dior would have been fine....

I have no problem with you thinking they're good I'm just asking you to define why you like them....just curious really....Quote:

The only people who will compliment you on your short hair are other guys with short hair though....Quote:when in doubt, shave it off

BTW I basically mean that it's a style that's mostly appealing to guys...not that you'll enter a secret gay conspiracy.

Best way would be to email the Julian Red main site with sizing questions (waist, thigh, rise, leg opening etc) that way you'd be able to see if you fit them....because not everyone has the same waist/thigh/calves/etc proportions...The person responsible for the site is very friendly and has answered questions in the past.Quote:
I'm a 28 waist in DH denims (19cm opening) do you think I should get a 28 waist in JR Hoboken's? Thanks!Quote:
Get some APC tight or Julian Red Hoboken. For something less expensive try cheap monday.Quote:dark blue
low rise
dry or washed
not too dismilar to dior homme (in terms of fit)
perhaps the apc tight would be good

Well what are you looking for anyway, lots of brands do "tight" jeans but they all have different characteristics.Quote:thanks.
a little bit out of my price range - any other suggestions?
out of curosity, im in London -where is the Dior dry available from?
--- Original message by velvetant on Nov 7, 2005 04:15 AM
Color?
Dry or washed?
If washed what kind of look?
Regular or longer legs (bunching up a-la dior...)?
Low rise regular?
For regular use or as an extra jeans?
Are those novelty/trying on the tight jeans look or something you'll keep for years?
budget?

New Standards are very similar to Dior from the knee up, they taper less from the knee down though. The seat is more tri-dimentional on the NS cause they're worn higher (more traditional higher rise) while the dior have a more low slung, slouchy rocker look on top. The denim is lighter/softer and maybe slightly darker on the dior dry. If you look at pockets, seams etc you'll see both are very similar and quite 501-ish. The APC are a better deal, selvedge and fit more occasions but Dior have their own charm and character.Quote:
Having owned both the Dior Raw and APC New Standard, I have to comment that the two look nothing alike and I haven't found another pair that is able to replicate the style of my DH jeans.Quote:To answer the original question: The "tight" jeans are cut exactly like new standards from the knee up. They're more tappered from the knee down. The fit is very close to the body if you take a tight waist (they'll stretch anyway) so you can get the stereotypical dior look if you want to. They're not selvedge by the way...
Dior dry (19CM) have a lower waist and are made from lighter denim. Also, the legs might be 1-2" longer than APC tight (let's say 38" instead of 36" for the APC tight).

Clothes aren't a lifestyle, they're just clothes...You don't need to be extra-slim to wear DH as long as you like the fit of the article on you...

These look nice, too bad they're too big....21cm look better on most people...

Last week I learned, along with many regular posters, that I was gay because I bought expensive jeans and now I've just learned that I buy into hype because I like dior and HL....wow....I think I'll go get some FUBU and be all manly and underground and shit

Thanks for the info gunpowder....

That's nice but I'm looking for some info specific to the raw denim (japanese version...)
0 -
How much do the made in japan ones go for?
How would you compare them to other tight fit raw denim jeans?
Would you size up/down or stay the same size for the 19CM ones (actually 17CM...)?
How much do they stretch compared to other raw denim?
Do they age gracefully?
Many thanks

They have erratic opening hours, the owner isn't a very business-oriented person, not that it's a bad thing....

Sometimes I even wear my APC dry jacket with some New standards and I think it looks great, especially paired with some chucks/black tee/brown distressed baltazar studded belt

Last time I was there (few months ago) it was still open..
As for what's up eith the owner since you know his full name you can probably answer your own question and I don't have time to guess your ulterior motive for asking it....

Wow....I took a quick survey of my wardrobe or should I say closet, and just found out that I was gay....I guess I gotta find the right way to tell my girlfriend. I'll also have to explain to her that I can't spend the money I earn as I wish cause spending $500 on jeans makes me a social deviant (and a gay one at that...which makes me doubly dangerous).
To the original poster: you're doing the right thing by getting some info from denim nerds, but don't forget to try the stuff in person...

Canadian Customs
in supershopper
Posted
I've been importing merchandise for years and customs in Canada are pretty straightforward. Let's just suppose something is not declared as a gift you have three possibilities:
1) The shipment is not taxed, that's right no $$$ to pay!! They don't open it or look at the papers. Happens pretty often when the package comes from Europe or Asia but almost never when it comes from USA. Before 9-11 this was the most likely scenario.
2) The package is taxed, you have to pay: 5$ for handling fees + the appropriate provincial tax + the federal tax. In other words you pay the amount of tax you would usually pay if you bought something locally + 5$.
3) The package contains merchandise classified as “luxury goodsâ€. You have to pay an additional 10% (I’m not so sure might be 15%, my memory is hazy) on top of everything. This is exceptional and will only happen if you import jewelry (e.g. Gold Rolex, diamond ring, etc.)
Now this presupposes you’re using Canadian postal service and not UPS or some other crappy carrier. The Canadian postal service is among the most reliable (big place, few people = need a damn good postal service) in the world and offers various means of delivery (air, land, quick delivery, whatever). The private carriers actually charge you an ENORMOUS and pretty random fee to handle customs in your name and slightly speed the process. This racket is just a nice way to get your money and if you absolutely need to use a private carrier you can escape those fees by getting the tracking number from the shipper/seller as soon as he gets it and calling the company to say that you’ll handle the customs yourself. This usually means getting to a UPS/etc. distribution center (sometimes near airports), wait in line for your stuff and the appropriate papers (they have crappy service to discourage you from doing this) and then going to a nearby customs office, give them the papers (that you got at the distribution center) and pay customs fees (taxes + 5$, sometimes they don’t charge you O_o).
The basic idea behind this is: ask what the seller is using and make sure it’s handled by Canada post when it reaches the border. The best way to do this is to use US regular mail, as other means of shipping (like us airmail or whatever) are something transferred to UPS/etc. when they reach the border. Just email the seller and then US/Canadian mail to know what’s what with each shipping services and you’ll eventually master this and avoid the big custom charges.
