Uniqlo 30x32 slim fit straight denim jeans.

S-001 Black. Never worn, all original tags still attached

I had my friend get me these jeans, but they are too long. Before I consider getting them hemmed, I figured I'd see if anyone else would benefit from them first.

$60. which is basically the price of the jeans + shipping

pm me if interested

ramen with spareribs, spinach, lettuce, and eggs

Are those the $30 ones or the $80 ones?

they are the $30 ones

over-night drying: i heard that the jeans would be so stiff that they would be able to stand up by themselves, so i had to try it...

post-dry fit: first time wearing raws.. i didn't like them at first... i was def. not used to the feel of new raws. too tight, too hard, too stiff [insert comment about what the opposite gender said here]

i really wish i kept up with the picture taking, but finals rolled by, and then i went back home for the summer. i wore the jeans every day pretty hard for 3 months, rock climbed in them, biked to work, etc (it was freaking hot this summer too...) anyway.. they started to smell so i started letting them sit out int he sun a couple hours a week, but they started needing some sort of odor treatment every day. I couldn't stand it anymore and i "dryel"ed them. home dry cleaning... STFs are cheap so i wasnt too worried about ruining them, but they turned out ok and smelling decent. but shortly after, they started smelling again. i started febreezing them, but that jsut made it worse. one day i jsut couldnt stand it anymore, and i went ahead and washed them, hang dry.... IRONICALLY, next day, i was playing ultimate with my friends, and i totally dove into a huge pile of mud... i was going to go see a jazz show in 3 hours, and i was crashing at my friend's so i didnt have a change of clothes.. i washed them again. 1 day after my first wash. and of course, machine dried...

and so we come to today. I dont really mind washing them anymore or machine drying them..

so today (4 months) i washed, dryed, starched, and ironed them:

post-fit:

and that's the journey of my first raws.

Bought my first pair of 501 STFs as a trial to the raw denim world back in May.

pre-soak fit:

hotsoak: i meant to flip the jeans inside out first, but i forgot. i was a little excited about my first pair of raws. i later opened up the jeans; i was afraid there would be uneven fading if i had them folded like that.

post soak drying:

post soak fit: still a little damp, i put them on. first time that i really ever wore damp jeans for an extended period of time... they felt like crap. they also didnt shrink as much as i wanted them to, but they shrank a decent amount so i was content.
