Price reduced to AU$137 - (Equiv of USD$130)  !!

altho not entirely noticeable in my pic above, .. I am getting a bit of hip flare. how long till that settles down?

hey guys

I did a second and third soak on my 1109xx to get rid of most of the shrinkage

much happier with them now

Price reduced (again) to AU$150 (equiv USD$147)

I seriously suggest tracking down someone with a Union Special.  The roping effect is really a nice feature, and in my opinion absolutely necessary.  Might as well go all in, right?  Where do you live?

yeah I know! That's what has put me off doing hemming at a regular place...

I'm in Melbourne, Australia - don't know that there are any union special hemming places around here.. I haven't been able to find any.

When I bought some Studio D'artisan's from BiG some years ago, I was able to (luckily) accurately guess how much I needed to get them hemmed prior to them being shipped.  Wasn't able to do that with AND even if I wanted to.

Ah cool.  Well I gave it a longer soak today.. we'll see what comes of it

thanks

I soaked it once for about an hour in hot tap water.. but after taking that pic I have soaked it again - hasn't dried yet.  Not sure if the 2nd soaking will do too much?

I could get it hemmed (non chainstitch) .. I'll see if cuffing looks any good with 'em, but I haven't been keen of cuffing in the past hehe.

Be interested to see how they look after they soften up first.. as they are obv pretty stiff at the moment

here is a post-soak pic of my 1109xx - not sure what I wanna do.. i thought the inseam would be ok but I may need to hem them which I am not really keen about :/  

any thoughts?

i have a 32.25 inch waist, - if a pair of 1109xx W31 is 33 raw and shrinks to about 31.. will it stretch back out to about 33?

Should I be aiming for a size 31?

Price reduced to AU$160

i am interested

Hey guys

I've worn out my Studio D'Artisan D1002's - .. I bought a pair of Flathead 3001 but the rise is too low.

What is a jean similar to the flathead 3001 or d1002s with a mid rise? Any suggestions? (preferably suggestions for both lighter and heavier denim as I am moving to a cold climate soon:))

*** UPDATE AFTER 3 AND HALF YEARS *** (see below for pics at 2.5 years, and 5mths)

Hey guys, well another year has gone by - and my jeans still haven't been washed

Only have my iPhone here at the moment, not my decent camera - but I am going to wash the jeans today. This extra year (from 2.5 years to 3.5 years) has taken a little bit more of a toll on my jeans. Both knees have had patching, but I had it done by this nice Russian seamstress who did a great job.

I have a couple of TINY holes in some of the creases, just from being creased for so long hehe.

I'll be getting my other camera back in the next day or so, so I will take some photos of the washed product and post back then.

Oh, one more thing. My wife says they are started to stink a bit, which is why I am washing. But hey, 3.5 years is long enough I think hehe. At 2.5 years she was not saying this!

*** UPDATE AFTER 2 AND HALF YEARS ***

Studio D'Artisan D1002

Ok, so I thought I would update you guys. I last posted photos of my jeans on 22 Feb 2009... after they had their first wash. They have not been washed since then, altho may be washing soon They don't smell tho.

Here is what they look like now, and below is what they looked like 2.5 years ago.

And at 5mths...

Here is an update to my post below: Studio D'Artisan D1002's .. about 5months, one initial soak and one wash just recently. These aren't that easy to fade
