They're kinda like the RRDS.

I'm not too much of a fan of super slubbyness...i like nice smooth shiny denim (not overly shiny though) like the RRDS

And the availability, RRDS are AU350 here coz its imported, but hey at least you can try them out and not get some e-measurements. Imperials are the same and they're a lot cheaper.

I dunno, different people, different tastes

Get an exchange for a smaller size.

And get some wear in them so the fades look a bit more natural with some crease

Haha imagine how they got the brown on rear on those SC008s

Technically Imperial is Australian...

How bout Evisus?...

I just bought some selvedge denim fabric from ebay...

Yeh I'm gonna try and making something out of them...just for some mindless fun

Oooh they have a green selvedge line too

Thats a nice fit

Flares/bootcuts ftw

Those 10th anniversary eternals are like the only raw eternals eh?..

I love that streaky look...

but have fun with your raws and reselling them when they don't fit!

Thats true...happened to my pair of Evisus when I was a noob back then. And had to get some heavy alterations to it.

When you order from Japan you cant predict anything with raws I guess, but when you try them on at a store you can almost tell how they'll shrink.

And raw denim is nice and shiny

Aussie summer?

Did you get the Flare Glens locally?

They should so put this on the Nudie Gallery

Pics above are of my Kings at 6 months.

Hectic...gotta get me a pair soon

yeah.

would love to.

way too big for me.

not my style.

bought from Japan direct through Rakuten.

made in China

You reckon they are the real deal?

They're the real deal for sure, just that people think they're lower quality coz they're tagged No.3 and you probably got them at a lower price.

In what ways are they too big?, the waist, length, thighs?...

try to soak them (not sure if they're sanforized or not but they shrink about 0.5-1 inch)

Or get them tailored.

Where is it made in?

They dont seem too bad....why not wear them?

The denim is really soft right? Not really stiff or slubby.

Nice fit btw.

Hand wash ftw.

Salt in a warm soak. Shaken, not stirred.

I don't really think Levi's is in the right. Even if they have copyrighted the red tab and acurate there should be some reason involved. I can understand if the sda acurate is borderline, but to go after samurai and SC is just silly.

Its economics. You're getting rid of competition.

If they're almost looking identical with red tabs and back pocket stitching and almost same cuts, then why are people buying Samurais or whatever?

Levis wants to regain some territory here for their work.

Its as if something like Ford starts to copy a completely identical set of the Ferrari range and started to sell it. Its kinda wrong if you get what i mean.

I rkn put simply, Levis wants everyone to fruck off and get some of their own work done

What exactly happened to evisu?...

And I bet Ande Whall is sleeping easy

Umm if you mean the back gulls, yeh they are hand painted

btw they would have looked like this if I hadn't gotten them tailored

For Kixlsif's sake

Nudie RRDS: 84 days of general usage, in and outdoors, the weird discolouration at the top half was due to a soak (experimenting with shrinkage)

Evisu 0101 No.1 Special: About 5 months, didn't wear them as much first as I realised even after a huge shrink in a soak (like from a 34 waist down to a 30 then another hot soak down to 28) , they were still a loose/baggy fit. Got them ultra tailored and just wear em to work (Timezone gaming arcades )

Eh leather taggy thingy with No.1 stampage

Imperials are cheaper than Nudies...here in Aus

Can you post up some pics of how they fit on you?

The denim is absolutely beautiful on those...

Can someone tell me quickly if there ever was a Evisu 0301 cut?

thanks

It'll shrink and stretch, but not completely back to its original size unless you place excessive stress on it. And they shouldn't strech even baggier

The denim will stretch according to how you wear it.

Ahh the elusive sahlan...you kinda dissappeared from SF? (as in sneaker freaker)

And yeh the fit of those Diors are great on you, was always wondering if something like that was possible with diors.
