  1. I bought two pairs of the Soft Rigid finish 511's off Ebay. It is not raw, but more of a one-wash and the fabric looks similar to a pair of rinse finish 501's.

    Compared to the Riff 511's, the denim just slightly heavier and is 100% cotton, no spandex. I bought one pair in 30"x32" for a tight fit and one pair in 33"X30"(I usually wear a 32" waist) for a looser fit and after almost a week and a half of solid wear and no wash, the 30" waist pair has stretched to 31.5".

    I machine washed the 33X30 pair in warm water(inside out) followed by an 80 minute trip in the dryer and the waist had shrunk about 1/2". Indigo loss was very minimal and the fabric didn't get fuzzy like you'd washed a pair of 501 STF's. The fit is very flattering with a nice slight taper that I've always wanted in a pair of Levis.

    do you get nice creasing with the soft rigid? the "soft" worries me

  2. your jeans look great, shoes are not my favourite but they definitely work with the jeans.

    shirt is alright, would perhaps go for something that looks more western and older, bit it probably looks good with that shirt too in real life.

    but the tie & pin???!! tucked in tie makes it two times worse too. sorry, you can't wear a tie with/like that.

    you can

    but not with jeans
