I was pretty torn between the Eternal x Tigers, SD-103s an XX-005s.

I went with the PBJs. I already have 2 pairs of dry denim.. my Nudies I wear to work and they're getting completely destroyed, my APCs I don't wear very often and I'm never going to wash them with water to keep them dark.

Chose the PBJs because the denim is so unlike anything else I have.. I'm very curious to see how they fade but I'm not expecting high contrast whiskering like on my other dry denim. So the XX-005s are less of a 'project jean' for me... if I wanted another one of those I would have gotten the SD-103s.

^^^ I'd take you up on that if I hadn't bought a pair of Pure Blue Japan XX-005s this morning. I'm in need of cash right now, sorry.

yeah these are still available, but I kinda forgot about this thread. Was gonna ebay them after I got back on vacation.

rough measurements

waist laid flat: 15 1/3

hem: 7 1/2

front rise: 10 3/4

thigh (about an inch below crotch) : 11

thigh (about halfway down leg) : 8

they run pretty true to size. I'd say if you're in between a 30-31 these would be perfect for you, depending on how you wear your jeans.

interesting fade.. high contrast, but the whiskering isn't very pronounced

they look good.

bumping this buyer backed out..., I'll do $120 shipped now.

did the extra $100 off end?

I'm interested but not sure about sizing.

If I want a hoody that fits like an American Apparel small with tighter arms, and about 3-4 inches longer in the body.. what size/fit should I go for?

Also is the grey heather grey?

^^^I replied. Sorry, I thought I had email notify turned on

And may I repeat the question, what kinda work were you doing in those?

I work in a shipping warehouse. Basically I lift lumber/concrete all day and drive a forklift around.

how about pics of the back and honeycombs.

There's basically no honeycombing. They aren't very tight and I don't starch the backs.

I did pick off the annoying back pocket stitching though.

SSDS that I've been wearing to work. This is like.. the sixth wash, I think. The first wash was about 3 weeks after I got them

After:

I'm selling a pair of 30x34 Acnes in the Max cut from FW 05:

The max cut is tight, low rise, very tapered and runs a bit long in the inseam. They're similar to the tighter diors according to my buddy Verb, but I've never worn Diors and can't compare the two. The wash is amazing, subtle and realistically placed whiskering, baked in permanent creases, etc. These retailed for $300+ at Barneys last year.

Only wore em about 20 times or so. No damage or wear of any kind.

Asking $160 shipped to North America, and I'll ship to other countries if you cover the cost.

Paypal only. Thanks for looking!

they may not fit eventually if you can only get one button done.

I wear 29 SSDS and it took me like 20 minutes to get my sz 27 New Standards buttoned the first time... with a 26 I'd probably have to stretch the waist out by hand just to get them on.

So I saw this Levis jacket at a local thrift store. It didn't fit me, but noticing the big E tag and nice looking denim, I bought it. I was going to sell it for a paltry amount but some nice person informed me that I should try to find out what its really worth. This seems like the place to ask...

Here's the details.

-white tab next to the pocket, big E LEvis

-snap buttons that say "levi strauss and co * s.f. cal*"

-size is M but it runs quite small

-not selvage (you can have selvage seams in jackets.. right?)

-beautiful, deep blue denim. Doesn't look at all like the ugly stonewashed jackets you see at Sears

-it looks like there was once a tag one the inside but it was ripped out

here's some pics:

Measurements are roughly:

Armpit to Armpit= 18.5

Armpit to End of Cuff = 16.5

Tag to end of jacket = 22

Anyone care to help me appraise this thing?

Where do you live? Would you be willing to throw in another $10 or 15 to cover the cost? I'm already taking a pretty big hit on what I paid for these in order to match fos5's price..

Edited by Ott on May 24, 2006 at 03:19 PM

bump + price reduced

haha sarlo I remember your post on mynudies about your accident... good to see you repaired them, they look amazing

whoa thank you, I've been looking for that Rakes track forever!

I'm very interested but I have to get rid of the Julian Reds I'm selling here first, so free bump I guess

is the waist 29 now, or was it 29 before a soak and smaller now?

if its 29 atm I'd be interested

Hey guys I'm selling a pair of raw/selvage/Swedish jeans from Julian red: http://www.fos5.com/proddetail.php?prod=60005 California no-wash size 30x34.

Bought em from Glamroots and they've stretched too big in the waist for my liking. Never worn outside of the house, no wear whatsoever except one or two weaksauce creases on the front. They fit between a 30 and 31 currently depending on how you like your jeans, and could even stretch another inch at least if you really want em tight.

Since this size isn't available on fos5, I'm asking $129 shipped to North America, Paypal only.

I am open to offers however, including trades if you have these jeans in 28 or even 29x34, or other slim raw denim perhaps
