Yet Fung

damnlam is right. Mine look way better than when I first started.

How come the advertisements show the 3 stripes on the back left leg, but in the pictures below the ad, the stripes are on the front left.

I don't think they are fake, I didn't even notice anything until i thought to myself, "I would be in love with those jeans if the stripes were on the back".

Are they 2 different models? It doesn't look selvage, but for the amount of detail, the implied quality of denim, and the chance that it's limited production, I'm really not surprised by the ebay price.

I bought Edo Ai Premiums and they fit much the same way when i first got them. The thighs were massive. I soaked with warm water and dried with a hair dryer set on hot, but only on the thighs. They are much better now, although still noticeable. Maybe try that, otherwise just get used to the 'anit-fit'. I think they look fine, just adjust your wardrobe to accomodate.

No offence scully, but they're just jeans. You should want to buy jeans for the sake of quality, and certain unique details and characteristics. In this case, you want baggy jeans, so feel free to buy whatever brand fits the bill, and de-badge it so as to remain 'cool'.

Don't worry, I'll peel the grapes, you just arrange the carrier.

Even if the leg opening is tight at first, it will stretch out soon enough. If you're not comfortable with that idea, scully, I suggest you try a hip-hop branded jean, like rocawear, enyce, ecko, or fubu.

Actually you would be incorrect in that assumption. I'm probably going to embarass myself by saying this but I dance kind of a freestyle hip-hop all the time, and I've attempted to learn how to krump for about 4 months now at the risk of completely wrecking my back and shoulders. I know it's hard to picture an asian who can dance, but there are a few of us.

So, ya no hate, continue 'crip-walking'. Don't mind me.

If you have a paypal account, that would simplify things. I'd be interested in picking up a pair.

Regardless of what waist size you buy, won't the leg openings be essentially the same? Going with a 34 will already require you to cinch it with a belt or take it in if you don't like wearing it around your ass like they show on the nudie fit guide. If you get a 32, it will probably stretch enough to sit where you want it to. If you get a 33 it will sit below your waist but above your ass, though it might not stay there. Assuming you don't wash them, they'll get baggier with wear will they not. Addict is certainly correct in saying that they are more of a relaxed fit, but once you soak them and do some 'hip-hop' related activity, they'll look good.

I think the article just stated using urea which you can probably get on its own, I don't think they had any specific type of urine in mind.

Isn't there a thread that links to an article on indigo dyeing that specifically refers to the use of urea?

Umm, I hate to give away stupid ideas for stuff, but what if you were to use a 10% bleach solution and soak a large bathtub full of sponges with it. Then you could crumple up a pair of jeans that already had some distressing done on it, and lay it on top of the wet sponges so that they would only bleach the areas of the denim they touched. If you left it long enough it would fade the denim without destroying the fabric too much.

you have to admit they look quite nice though

The legs are not nearly as tight as the ralfs at least, not the upper thigh. The ankle opening may be slightly less than the ralf, as it is not a bootcut.

I think i saw some baggy jeans in a Killah ad.

Didn't Paul T's book describe the most expensive pair of jeans as being found in a mine? When you look at them, you can clearly tell they were probably just sitting there in a crumpled up pile, maybe even partially in a puddle of water or something. And they went for like $40k? I'm not saying that will happen with every pair of jeans you let sit there, but the it's definitely a unique look with a distinct story behind it.

I love it when people think I'm rubbernecking cuz I think their jeans are hot when really I'm thinking, "pfff, that's not selvage, it's only pretending to look like selvage. Dumbasses"

I think the steve's from iron army left a large sheet of denim on their floor to see how it would look after it had been walked on, spilled on, partied on, whatever... should ask them how that turned out.

i think people already know about this one:

www.indigofan.com

it hasn't been updated a lot.

APC NS perhaps? You could try and shrink a pair of canes.

To be perfectly honest, depending on how tall she is, you could buy here (i'm going to hell for this), some kids jeans like A&F boys, True Religion kids, or Sevens kids. I bought my sister a pair of True Religion kids jeans, and she refused to wear them because they were too baggy of a cut even though they fit perfect in the waist and butt. I guess it all depends on how much you love her to be able to put up with looking at that horseshoe logo...

Hey if you value fanatacism over love, who's to say you're wrong? You could put almost any word in place of 'denim', and someone somewhere has been through it.

somehow, i feel completely okay being corrected on my asian word of wisdom by a guy named yet fung.

Just doin my job. I wouldn't want your girlfriend to break up with you on account of you telling incorrect chinese jokes. It's bad enough you have this nasty denim habit!

confucius says: a man who walks side ways, bangkok.

in other words, the relationship was doomed from the beginning.

I can't believe i get a chance to correct the rookie mvp:

"...man who walk through TURNSTILE sideways, bangkok."

Other than that, Chicken's 100% right, it was doomed from the get-go.

I agree, I really want a pair too. It's too bad that this summer's been so busy with weddings that I had to buy a suit, cuz now all my money's gone.

Raw selvage jeans with no pocket stitching whatsoever? The first sign of trouble is a girl in $500 victoria beckham jeans, that crown logo is like the high-maintenance coat-of-arms.

Girls in selvage has got to be the hottest thing ever. The closest thing I've seen is Evisu selvage, but it was good enough. If i saw a girl in apc's i would definitely say something, because I don't picture a girl wearing apc's to be some high-maintenance stuck up bitch.

I've rubbernecked many people's jeans and been caught many times. But if it's ok for passing bikers to nod to eachother, than this is no different. I walked into a local store and two employees were discussing my RRDS for about 5 minutes before approaching me to ask how long i've had them. It was a shamefully proud moment for me.
