First SF WAYWT post!

Finally getting around to posting pics of my (now 2.5-week old) raw Iron Army Sebastians! These pics are from my first night in them. I got them in the mail right before going to an Unearth show and sweating my balls off, so I had to febreeze them the first night. Anyone know if sweating profusely on the first wear will negatively affect the wearing of the jeans?

Anyway:

(New!) Unearth shirt

thrift store belt

IA Sebastian raw

white chucks

These are too small for me, I'm sad to see them go. These show some signs of wear, which I tried to capture in the last 2 pics (rivets and crotch), but are still in great shape. On Barneys.com they retail for $315 (http://www.barneys.com/b/browse/product.s?productId=1489&source=category&index=1&prodIndex=1&listSize=4&query=7830&dsnrIndex=true&categoryId=259504).

More pics on acne's website: http://www.acnejeans.com/press/aw06/aw06_lookbook_jm.html

I'll take $120 shipped to US for these, but am open to offers. Please PM me with any questions/offers!

Thanks for looking!

I'm fluent in Cantonese, English and know a fair bit of Mandarin and Japanese. Though I can't read anything other than English. =/

I've got Portuguese! Just in case any Brazilians or, uh, Mozambiquians become denimheads...

still looking!

I'm actually searching on behalf of my roommate, whom I've gotten into dry denim. he's a 29 in Diesel, so I'm thinking a size 29 BO would be right for him (probably pretty snug at first, but should stretch out. I know I can get a pair for $135 shipped, so I'm interested to see if it's possible to find them for less!

I love waking up, drinking water, having breakfast, then inspecting the new wear on my jeans after a great night out.

Heh, yeah, except for the inevitable groans upon the discovery of all sorts of new, fun unidentifiable stains - which is inevitably followed by the "what the hell did I DO last night?" and discovery of pictures people took of you doing things like sitting on an unknown person's parked motorcycle with a phone in one hand and a beer in the other. That has definitely never happened to me....

I just wanted to throw out some props for Sam113 - I bought my Sebastians from him and he provided FANTASTIC service (both in the great price he gave me and the fact that he shipped me 2 sizes and accepted a no-trouble return for the size I didn't want). I would highly recommend him and his store (Context) to anyone! If I lived in the Madison area, I'm sure I'd be a frequent face in his store!

Thanks Sam!

other than that i just get drunk and go wild, climb things and fall

Haha. I recently got my first pair of raw denim (iron army) and I was thinking about what that I regularly do is going to really break these in (since I don't skate - which looks to be the most efficient break-in technique) and I realized that you just pretty much hit the nail on the head for me.

dry denim drives me to alcoholism.

now where's my beer?

I bought the taverniti cords and received them a few days ago, and I love 'em. derdankhund was nothing but helpful and communicated excellently, I back him as a seller! Thanks man!

I got a pair of IA Raw Sebastians from Sam113... and they're sick as hell! I know a lot of people rag on the stretch, but it makes them so damn comfortable. I'm 5'11", 160lbs, and I got a size 29, so they're fairly tight but still soooooooo damn comfy. I'll try to get around to posting pics soon.

I hope these things fade/honeycomb/distress well! (These are my first raw jeans)

Thanks Sam (and the Steves)!

DAMN it feels good to be sewn so wrong

Alright, yeah then I'd probably be a 10 or maybe 9.5

I've heard most pumas run small... anyone know how the El Rey's fit? I'd like to pay less than Puma has them for on their website ($45 + shipping: http://store.puma.com/pumaUSStore/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=PUMAUS&category%5Fname=WomensClassicFootwear&product%5Fid=34245403&productType=Footwear&mainCategory=Men&shopBy=style&siteid=1 ).

search for hollywood trading company, they have iron army and can ship in the states. theres a guy on here who works for them i think his name is glamroots

Yeah, thanks for the heads up, I've seen his post about IA's around. I'm hoping that I could somehow find them for less than $200, though, so I figured I'd post a WTB and see what pops up. Thanks anyway, though!

Have I mentioned I really really want a pair of Iron Army's?

damn their website for having such shitty pictures.

those look amazing from what i can barely see.

I've seen 'em in real life... they're ridiculously awesome. Search around on SF, Tragicbliss and a couple other people have pictures of the wearing them around. I'm super tempted to nab some of these!

Iron Army also makes dry black denim:

http://www.ironarmyclothing.com/Men/hiro.htm

A couple of members of the forum sell them, do a search. They're sick.

Yes, I was inspired by Airjamie's similar post.

I'm looking for Iron Army Hiro Ito dry black or blue in size 29 (or maybe 30... I'd need measurements) and/or Nudie Bootcut Ola size 29 or 28 (need measurements, again). Some wear is ok, but preferably not excessive and not washed or rinsed yet. PM me!

Ah man. I want these so bad. I guess I'll have to try to find somewhere I can try them on. And then try to find some way to procure $200.

How are the thighs on these? I like slim-fitting jeans, but 13 years of soccer and 8 years of track have made my legs choosey about which jeans will fit over them.

Hey, what it boils down to is that there may be someone out there who wants these jeans, and they can PM me an offer for them... and whatever profit I make on them is a finder's fee. And if there's no one out there who wants them, so be it, no sweat off my back.

Hahahahaha, wow, Joes at target? I wouldn't imagine target would be a $300 jeans type of place....

And yes, I found them at a store and am trying to resell them for a higher price. Isn't that kind of the definition of business? Buying things and reselling them for more money? Hahahaha.

I prefer paypal (buyer pays credit-card fees)

My ebay username is misterkatz

This is a pair of Joes jeans in an awesome grey wash with the metal waistband (pyramid stud-things all around like a belt). I'm pretty sure they're "The Rocker" cut, or at least they're straight-legged and slim-fitting. I have these on hold at the store I found them, so I can't get measurements but they are size 32, and by how they fit me, I would say they fit in the waist like zathans (or maybe one size bigger). The denim is super soft and comfortable.

These have been lightly worn, which I could only tell by the fact that there is some SLIGHT fading on the hems.

They are 99% cotton 1% elastic

The inner tag said "design no. 61wl8223" and "cut no. 300807"

They are almost exactly like the ones on revolve: http://revolveclothing.com/productpages/JOE-MJ14.jsp

which retail for $283.

I am looking for $195 (incl. shipping to US, add $5 for Canada and PM about other international shipping) but am open to offers. I need offers by the end of the day tomorrow (the store has them on hold until then) so I can go pick them up!

Take my word for it... these jeans are sick! Nordstrom carried them (for about $300) but they sold out in no time!

I took a couple pictures of me wearing them in the dressing room... sorry for the crappy-ness!

Does the 15% off include Iron Army phone orders? Hahaha.

How do the fit of the Novio and the Hiro differ? Is the Hiro available in raw indigo denim? And anyone have any experience with how IA raws wear? I'm debating between IA, Nudie, and Ande Whall for my first raw jeans.
