I am a big fan of the rise on the 5000VX. It feels like a very natural position for me. The other thing is that it's a straight leg. I haven't worn the SDAs, so there's not much I can do for you there.

If you like the fit, leave them alone, you're just probably gonna want to soak or wash them regularly as they'll stretch soon.

Just washed my USAs for the first time yesterday and the vertical falling is already pretty fucking beautiful. Pics to come...

Serious question as I just received my Sugar Cane 1947 Raw and I'm wondering whether I follow Superfuture's advice or the Japanese's.

I think if you look around, there's not a majority of one or the other. Some of the most highly regarded fades that have been posted were once a month. It also has a lot to do with whether the user wears the jeans regularly and the type of wear they put them through. Bottom line: they're just jeans. Do what you normally do in them. If you are cool with wearing a pair that smells bad and gives you zits on your legs for the sake of really definted creases, go for it, nobody's going to stop you. If you want to wash them once a week, wash them once a week. There are no rules.

Why the hell does he carry around an extra pair of laces with him?

The one that immediately occurred to me was "why is he on an air conditioner?" Maybe his gear is so hot that's how he stays icy?

Kill me please.

Both of those are looking ridiculous...very nice.

Awesome SDAs. Looking forward to seeing how they fade!

Those 1001's are a work of art. Well done.

Agreed, those PBJ's look awesome.

Mr. Invincible, those might be OK after some wear, but they look goddamned painful at the moment.

As someone who's 6'7" I've learned to get over the idea that jeans need to stack. If they fit you how you want them to, who cares. The stacking trend will go out sooner or later. so don't tailor your fit based on it.

yeah ive been wearing diors for about a year ive had both the 21s and the 19s, I want something a bit looser now, still unsure about which waist size to go for though, im leaning towards the 33 so they can stretch and not be too loose.

and with regards to the actual denim ive had lots of of jap repro jeans before my diors..

You're going to want a wash, a soak, something, which will shrink 'em. Wearing samurais raw is a bad idea.

This is a true story, i've experienced it first hand.

I'm curious, which one did you try? My favorites have to be the Buffalo or Amarillo.

I am not really a denim connoisseur or anything, just need some help from people who know better than me..

With darker jeans, how much effect will it have on let's say a white pair of shoes as far as stains go? Any answers/advice/instructions are deeply appreciated. Thanks.

READ THE DENIM ENCYCLOPEDIA

but...

Indigo stains white. you could be anal retentive and put a liner around the cuff of your pants, or just deal with it.

I was wondering the same thing, but did not want to be the one that got into it. Could not have trolled better if he tried.

He's a she, which is the best part.

this is pretty noobish question.

I just got some o/w 811's and they have hardcore creases where they were folded during storage/shipping.

just cold soak 'em and try to flatten the creases out before hanging them to dry? SOP?

A soak should do you fine, but the best way to get rid of the creases is to wear them.

Levi's 1st Gen Premium Skinner's.

Worn since 2000 on and off. They are 8 years old and were just "rigid" when I first bought them, nothing special.

Nicely done. Skinners were actually the first pair of jeans I spent decent money on, way back when. I don't like the boot cut so much anymore but I have a couple well worn pairs I still held on to.

Samurai 5000bks in size 33 (sized down 1), hemmed to a 35 inseam

Are you wearing them raw? They seem a bit baggier.

i cant get my filesizes below 30 kbs using photshop any sugestions?

Take a lower quality picture (shrink the resolution, or change the kb to pixel ratio).

If you're going to wash them or soak them reasonably often, 30 should do you fine. If you plan on making your jeans stink like ass, 29.

That kid at the top is such a stud it's a little terrifying.

I forgot how tall you were...they look even better now! It must be a bitch finding jeans.

It can be annoying, but some of the best brands have long inseams. So...more reason not to settle on a crappy pair.

It's definitely a lot better than it was in high school. I just got used to sagging everything to make up for it.

Thank you everybody for the rep and the kind words...I made the purchase directly based on consulting superfuture.

How tall are you? Those look deceptively slim. You have got to be at least 6'4 or 6'5. I swear that on me, even 31s would look baggier.

6'7". Not getting much stacking, but I don't really care, jeans fit great.

Thanks guys! A particular thank you to gimmegimme for all my questions about the jeans, and apology for making him look fat.

If you're going for some nut crushers, mission accomplished.
