i dunno, it's just a pre-site/season hype video, i don't see why everyone's getting so furious.

i have a pair of 'californias' and they fit extremely well.

Post some pics wearing them, and also include some measurements, that'd be really nice.

Quite some shops in The Netherlands sell Nudie, so the price is competative I guess.

@haptronic: what about the loose fit, seems that one is quite comparable too Nudie RR

Sorry for being NTish, but just had to get these

Already read that entire tread.

But no chainstitch on the hem, that's then the only downside of the jean. And maybe the indigo, since they don't show sharp creases on their site, but more overall fading like APC's.

And the price, 330 AUD, which is about 220 euro. Nudie RR selvage is 150 euro over here. So that's quite easy to choose for 2 quite similar jeans.

johninger: Do the raw ones have chainstitching on the hem?

Seems like their site isn't working anymore.

Well the nudies as an underlayer would work Corbin, as long as my ski trousers r waterproof enough.

I'm more curious about the function/form, and the individuality of jeans. As an outer layer of YOUR skin, and the jeans bearing YOUR marks, how else can you make it more you? Obviously by doing the stuff you enjoy, and moulding it to adapt to the form of what you are? If snowboarding is a passion, then theres no reason to give it the creases that it might achieve during the act?

I'm more curious about what you can do to have jeans reflect a way of life/ a fragment of one, and wearing them during your hobbies is defintely a valid one, in the same way that people skate in them.

and yes, snowboadring with them on the outside, and as an only lair is probably real dumb. probably scratch yourself up against the stiff denim anyway.

Hmm, kiteboarding is my passion, so I should go kiteboarding in my jeans?

j/k

Handlethevibe:

Don't think you'll have to bring them to the tailor. These look just fine.

They shrunk about 1 inch in the length, think that in the next washes they'll shrink some more, but don't think more than 1/2 inch.

They were already really soft before the wash, but they did get softer after because starch was removed I guess. Maybe you can wash them a little hotter so the ass will shrink some more.

I have a pair of RR Greycasts.

After 7 months I gave them a wash in the machine on the woolwash program with 30 degree warm water. I think that the fit after the wash was quite comparable to the fit when I just bought them. But within a week they stretched back to how they were before the wash.

Nice jeans.

How about the sizing and fit of them? I heard they fit kinda similar to the APC NS.

Do you have NS to compare them with? Or maybe other jeans.

And do they stretch alot?

Really curious, considering buying a pair.

When I first do a couple of cold washes, and then do a hot wash. Will my jeans lose much color in the hot wash? Or will the indigo be 'set' in the colder washes already?

I only do weed every once in a while. Last week we had some NOS (don't know the english name for it when you use it as a drugs), that's actually quite nice stuff too.

And on NGC, there was a program about Aircraft Crashes, which I found very interesting.

What I learnt at school, is that elastic deformation can occur always. No matter how often the deformation has happened. As long as you stay in the region of elastic deformation the material can always go back to a state is was in before. Only when you come in the regions of plastic deformation, the fibres can't go back to their old situation, because the structure of the molecules has changed drasticly.

Don't really know if this is true for denim, but I guess so, since it's also a fibre material.

Jeans will always stretch when you wear them. They'll also shrink when you wash them.

Did you wear them while still damp? Cuz then they'll stretch out quite a lot.

How is the sizing of the old schools and the slipons?

In sk8 hi's I have an 8, which is pretty fitted, for a more relaxed fit I could go for 8.5 but 9 is too big.

Try h&m, v&d, hema or we. Those shops will have the gloves you want, except the designer label

A rerelease of the Tiffs? Is this a worldwide thing?

This is what Paul T's book has to say:

"Stronghold brand jeans, which boa a strong resemblance to Levi's, were produces by Brownstein, Newmark and Louis in Los Angeles from the early 1900s."

They also wrote something about them on a page with photo's with pics of jeans from around 1900:

"Stronghold jeans, made in Los Angeles and probably the leading brand in that area at the time."

Very sharp lines, you wear them kinda tight or not?

Thanks for the info RingRing.

Just ordered Paul T's new book this week, really looking forward to recieve it.

Damn, you have nice defined creases. Guess mine fit a lot looser, since I don't get such sharp lines.
