it's more on the dry/raw side, and from what i can tell untreated and not distressed. pretty dark, supposedly straight cut, but it's just a bit on the baggy side. not a bad deal for $125. i will take pics when i get the chance.

aren't the ray ban aviators the classic example?

wait, ppl use thermometers to measure the temperature of their baths for wearing jeans in it?

yeah, i saw that thread. i thought maybe some picked a pair up to check out. they seem ok, i just hate the whole faded wash thing, esp. if it's brownish.

i remember they first came out w/ this around 97 or so.

hahahah

yeah, i'm referring to dry denim. you're right, i don't need to worry about reattaching the hem, i think. i was just worried that the higher the cut on the pant leg, the larger the opening will be. i'm not trying to wear jncos...

hahaha y'all crack me up, seriously. i always thought there was something strange about a board full of dudes who worship denim (pause n/h!)

ok, so hemming a 36" to 30" should still look ok? thanks to everyone who replied.

guhhh :'(

i was obv joking around abt shrinking myself. i work out and play ball everyday, and i don't consider myself unhealthy in the least. i can wear a 34 just fine but prefer something looser, plus i have shorter legs i guess. in any case, i am just wondering if getting a 33" hemmed to 30" looks weird bc maybe the higher part of the pant leg is wider?

i'm fat, nikka!! maybe i'll just get 34" waist, 30" length and shrink myself :'(

i'm asking bc i usually wear a 35/36 width w/ a 30" length. now, i'm thinking of buying some sugarcanes, and i'll prob get the 38" width to allow shrinkage. unfortunately, these are only avail at 36" length (33" when shrunk), so i'll prob get them hemmed. my question is: will it look ok? will it look like a loose fit bc the opening may look larger bc it's going to be cut higher?

I don't know if anyone else has seen this, but I noticed that Tommy Hilfiger apparently has a selvedge piece in its premium denim line. I only caught a quick glimpse of it at Bloomies, though. It was $125. I'll try to take pics sometime.

I've got some selvedge denim I'd like to get hemmed. Is this particularly difficult for a tailor? Do I need to give him/her any special instructions? If anyone has anyone recommendations on a good tailor who specializes in this in the NYC area, please let me know. Thanks.
