I got the order, thanks! I'll fill it out sometime before Monday afternoon (which is when AA would actually fill out the order anyway!)

And as for the retail pricing comment, I'm a bit confused. The retail prices I listed where from the AA website, are they higher where you are?

All American Apparel stuff runs slim (hoodies included). As for the women's sizing, no real idea, I'd have to guess men's L, but the sizing charts on their website would be the best indication.

they shrink down to tagged size

Do you know if I got a pair and were to say, wash or soak them in warmer water, would they shrink a bit more? Like say instead of a 30w, a 29.5 or so?

UCB's original theater is still in NYC, but I think they opened up a theater in LA.

Either way, the UCB Theater has got some fucking great improv. I love that place.

No, they're a store exclusive item.

It's a good thing that this subject has never been brought up before. Nor is there a guide on the main page that maps out just about every store in NYC.

(You've never heard of Bloomingdales, Barneys, Saks 5th Avenue, Atrium or Scoop?)

I don't know why, but for some reason the flagship Bloomingdales on 59th and Lex now carries Spruce. On the wall with the PRPs, on the far right (the Earnest Sewn counter is in front of it).

we can't have nice things!

This is why

That's it for now. [email protected] if you already placed an order or what to know what's going on.

I'd imagine it'd be possible to increase the rise at the expense of the inseam, but I'd imagine you'd have to be very skilled with a sewing machine in order to do that.

Hah, I just went to the Chelsea Co-op on Wednesday to try on the Max and Mic as well.

Seriously, I tend to think of myself as being quite thin, but I couldn't even get the jeans past my CALVES, both size 29 and 30. Never had that problem before, and I wear New Standards in sz 27!

However, the Mic's in sz 29 fit perfectly.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Back when Levi's sold only unwashed jeans, they were measured in their unwashed, natural state, as you would expect. You wash them, and they shrink one or two inches in the waist. That's why there's a card on every pair of unwashed Levi's telling you how to properly size.

Also, you're used to brands that vanity size. Diesel and such say they're a 30 when they're really a 32. That's why you're seeing such a big jump.

Any interest in those LVC '55's that I posted a few days ago? I've got them in 27 and 28.

You can get much better results if you just do the striping yourself. The guitar tech at the place I used to work did it to his red chucks, with really good results (and cheap too!).

Is there a particular year and size you're looking for? I have some small sized '55s that I'm selling, and it may be possible for me to try to find some others as well.

Earnest Sewn's stand alone store, An Earnest Cut and Sewn, will make custom jeans, and they have a pretty nice denim selection. If I had money to burn, I'd probably do it. However, I'm pretty sure that as long as you're not some odd size, you'll be able to find whatever you're looking for from some company or another already made.

They definitely have some give to them. As I said, they're currently at two inches below the tagged size, and I tried stretching out one pair, and it easily have a half an inch just by pulling, not even putting them on. They'll stretch out an inch at least, wouldn't be surprised if they stretched out by even more.

Patriots, just like in the first post.

I wear them supertight, which is partially why they ripped easily. They ripped near the belt loops and at the crotch.

Where did you see the XX's for cheap online?

Now asking $120 shipped, or best offer.

They're pre-soaked dry jeans. No abrassions, but some pairs are stiffer than others. You may need some starch. Either way, as I said before, if you're going to spend money on the Line Dry, the XX's will be about the same price, and will use better denim.

wow those did wear fast...so should i soak first or not?

thanks for the pics btw

--- Original message by Becks23 on Mar 26, 2006 12:07 AM

Don't soak them. Actually, if you can, I'd recommend picking up some Fulton XX's, they should be about the same price, maybe a bit cheaper. Fully dry, using Japanese denim. If you can't find any, I'd be willing to pick them up at an Earnest Cut and Sewn when I pick up mine next week.
