turcy.

Just got my 30 in blacks from Parachutes (who picked them up at the PBJ store in Tokyo), based on the measurements, I think they're one wash:

waist: 15" laid flat

front rise: 9.5"

back rise: 13"

inseam: 33.5"

leg opening: 7.5"

Do you guys think it's necessary to soak these? Based on what I've read they seem to be shrunk already, so I dunno, lemme know what you think.

On to the pics (sorry for the shitty lighting, I need to invest in a full length mirror in a well-lit area of the house)...

Pics of fit (please note, the lighting in my bathroom sucks so I adjusted the contrast/brightness to show how they fit, not how the colour looks):

Pics of detail/slub:

(mine still have the blue pocket tab!)

(black rivets and buttons, although the paint is already thinning and wearing away, which again proves to me that these are one wash)

I just realized I didn't take a selvedge pic, oh well.

Just for people's reference, I'm 5'11" and ~155lbs, physically fit (heavy into capoeira) and these DO fit tight around the thighs. They're not constricting by any means though, and I can tell they will stretch perfectly.

I wear a 30 in nudie slim jims, and got these in a size 30, and the fit is perfect so far.

Hope this helps somebody somehow.

cheap those jeans look decent, i just find it slightly off-putting that there are holes in the pockets but hardly any honeycombs or creases in general

i'm really being turned off of samurai denim lately, not a fan of the way it fades/wears

i'm looking for sycamore no more's hoody. it's available of zepia but i wanna have it easily accessed. not ordering in bulk.

that's pretty much the style i'm looking for as well, the oversized but buttoned up hoody... do you know what brand it is? and what's zepia exactly?

yeah i noticed that thread after making mine, and now feel retarded, thanks for the link :/

loving your photography lately ayn, you must seriously look for these locations, cause they're literally dripping with detail

any idea when/where these will drop? i really like HF's designs, nice and clean...his tier 0 polka dot dunks are my absolute favourite shoes to date

I've seen a few oversized hoodies posted in the WAYWT thread, and I really dig them, especially because of their versatility. I find they work well in tandem with pieces that wouldn't usually work well in tandem with a hoodie.

Are there any specific brands that have decent oversized hoods out this season, or any that are coming up that you guys are aware of?

HEWSINATOR' date=' I just kinda stumbled accross this thread...and needed to share a story about High Grade Clothing in Edmonton.

High Grade cracks me up. I was in there about 6 months ago, lookin' at what they had for raw denim. This sales guy comes up to me to 'educate' me on raw denim. He goes into this rant about how the trick to wearing raw jeans is to wear off the resin (he was talking about nudies) that is painted on them. I'm like "heh??" He continues "ya, Nudie paints all their jeans with resin, wear them for like 1 or 2 months without a wash and it wears off."

He proceeded to point at my jeans (2 year old Nudies washed twice) and tell me that they used to carry that wash before. I pointed at the dry selvage on the table "you still do".[/quote']

OMG, glorious! way to stick it to him!

hrm, they look clean, but better than silly chucks, must get my hands on em!

one day dior...one day

i feel the same way :/

check nudie's website, they have a list of all retailers that carry their jeans...i'm sure you'll find something in your city, heck i even found a store in victoria, bc that sells them

all i can say is....LOOSE LEAF!

find your local loose leaf spot, every city has at least one gem, always cheaper, and always better than any "gourmet" packaged tea you'll ever find ANYWHERE

my local spot "special teas" imports their tea straight from africa, china, japan...wherever the tea's origins are

they have organic honeybush roiboos straight from africa, and amazing organic sencha and bancha teas from china and japan

current favourites:

japan sencha 40 - organic green tea, medium strength of flavour, so yummy

roiboos apple pie - organic roiboos, apple pieces, cinnamon, cloves

marakesh mint - a blend of chinese gunpowder tea, and some peppermint and natural flavours

brazil yerba mate (hazelnut) - a dark dark tea from brazil (obviously), its caffeine content rivals that of coffee, and it has a dark, nearly burnt aroma similar to coffee as well

skull 5010xx 6x6 o/w

2 months, worn 99% of the time.

no flash

those are insane man, you must be pleased!

curiouscharles, you made me want to get a pair of slim jim dry japans. do you think i need to size down?

hrm, well you COULD sizes down 1 size if you want them to remain slim throughout their lifetime

mine have stretched out from 30 to about 33 in the waist, and hence they sit lower than they used to

size down if you want them SLIM, stay true to size otherwise

second WAYWT, finally read my camera's manual and figured out the self-timer, too bad the quality sucks :/

i like what you're wearing, just seems kind of conventional somehow, i'd like to see more of your personal flavour in your clothes

holy shit, is that a peer gynt shirt? our department put that show on 4 years ago and i've yet to see a better play in my entire life.

pretty boring today.

green uniqlo

hm chain

pbj's

number (n)

cheers!

did you soak your pbj's before wearing them kix? just asking cause i wanna cuff mine, and from what i've read they seem like they'd be too short to cuff after a hot soak, lemme know (love those shoes by the way, you kill it on a regular basis)

BIG ditto on that! It may be the way you're standing but they almost look like boot cuts on you. They don't look terrible, just that I would never believe those were classic skinny Diors if you hadn't told me

if you look at his stance he's bow legged (knees bend in when relaxed) that's why they look weird

why would you size down more with the blacks than with the indigo jeans? are they both not xx-005 and hence the same general cut?

not to thread crap, but my original standards measured true to size, 14 inches across the back waist band (on a size 28) are you sure these measurements are accurate?

my left knee on my nudies is already obviously faded, and there's not any noticeable fading on the right knee... for reference, i'm right handed

i was gonna get it until i noticed the elbow patches, hideous. can't wait for the crooks and castles crosshair one (if it ever comes out)
