  1. I too suffer from denim paranoia, fear I won't be able to get more of my favourites. That's why there's a spare pair of LVC 201, 1947 501, and a pair of the old Lee Euro Rider reissues tucked under the bed...

    I have this mental image of that drawer in spy movies that has passports, foreign currency, and a gun... except in addition to all that, there's three pairs of jeans.

  2. If you looked at the fading properties of the flagship models alone, you would already learn alot about those five brands. This is my guesstimate at the speed that each of theose jeans wears down at:

    slowest to fastest:

    Evisu - 2000

    Studio D'artisan - SD101

    Fullcount - 1101

    Denime - XX Type

    Warehouse - 1000xx

  3. It'd be hard for me to tell without touching the denim to know if those are necessarily real. However, the model does exist and it's possible that the reason there's no selvage is that it's a bootcut model (most bootcut jeans don't have the selvage because of how the legs are shaped).

    As others have said, cotton coming out of the rivets is normal and in fact, is done on purpose to mimic old production methods.

    This is a link to a newer version of the same jeans on 2nd: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/2nd/fh-1007/

  4. SI has been kicking ass so far. FC, not so much... there's already talk of fill in artists and delays and it hasen't even hit the stands yet!

    As for the Spirit movie... it's pretty much Sin City 1.5. I'm more than glad to see another movie done up in the this style, but I don't know that they should pretend that this is anything more than Frank Miller's version of the spirit, not Eisner's.

  5. evisu.com has raw selvage jeans with blank pockets for 175$ right now.

    these fuckers look tasty and the price is crazy good. it's the price of nudies or LVC. GODDAMN.

  6. I know a few people have already done this on the board, but I am VERY excited for the Ray Ban Wayfarers I got turned into glasses... having it done at Moscot. I tried on some of the Moscot Originals and they didn't really fit my face (looked too dark, mostly because the lenses were sort of small on me)

    Also, I preferred the weight of the wayfarers. Plus, they've got a new Rx in them (I haven't had mine updated for like 4-5 years)

  7. UPDATE: Pics and measurements. Paypal only, please.

    Nice jeans, but I'm looking to unclutter my closet a bit. Jeans have been washed once. Worn for maybe 1 - 1.5 months total. Faint fading on the right back pocket. These were from the first wave of NDG Grey Jeans (FW 06-07, I believe).

    First two pics best represent color in daytime, but the great thing about these guys is that they look pretty different in day and night...

    Looking to get $150 plus shipping

    Waist: 14.8 in.

    Rise: 10 in.

    Inseam: 32 in.

    Upper thigh: 9 in.

    hem: 7.25 in.

  8. wow, looking at my 2 y.o. posts is quite enlightening... if I could message my past self, I would say the following:

    yes, there is a difference in the weights: heavier denim doesn't crease as sharply as lighter denim, but extremely light denim doesn't hold creases as well as heavier denim. therefore, only fade patterns would be affected. Color, contrast and durability are other factors that are (to some extent) independent of weight.

  9. they shrink a bit after the first wash, but they stretch quite a bit (much like nudies, I'd imagine. never owned a pair of regular nudies so I couldn't say for sure). plus, the only significant shrinkage is going to be more in the inseam rather than the waist.

    if you could manage to size down one, I'd recommend doing that rather than relying on a wash to shrink them. I've worn mine pretty hard and while they do srhink after washes, they stretch right back out after like 5 wears.
