PandaDenim

Just showed up in my school PO box.

Wow.

That is the only way to describe them...

I'm down to wait, the only thing is I'll be en route back to school on the contest start date, so I'll soak earlier and just start wearing them then.

Hey iGIT... great fit and thanks for the pictures!

I would +rep if I could.

I think I have figured out my size and my hand is on the trigger. I just don't know if I should pull it or not. I really really want to, but the funds are kind of tight now.

These are the last pair of raw denim I buy for a while...

You should definitely get in on it though.

hmm the stretch is like overall

thigh is included too.

should i do a hot soak inside out or cold soak?(how long the soak?)

and how do i dry it?

For maximum shrinkage use hot water...just like any other denim...

Inside out or not is really your preference, I always soak my jeans just normally, it's not a big deal. Soak them for an hour and hang dry them till they are dry...

You should ask questions like these in the "Small Questions Thread" in the future.

Have prizes for the contest winners been decided yet?

If I'm not mistaken the article in Cool Hunting posted by Kiya earlier says it's any pair of jeans from Self Edge.

Kiya.

Is.

God.

I got them!

Now I just have to wait until tuesday...

And uhh...

Also realized my credit card was overdrafted today... FML.

my jeans are getting loose on me after stretch

what should i do?

do a cold soak inside out?

i do not want to lose the indigo.

been wearing it for about 5 months+

Not much you can do besides a soak...

Where is the stretch? If it is somewhere like your thigh there is nothing you can do, if it's the waist just wear a belt.

Otherwise you probably have to bit the bullet and soak it.

To be honest I don't even know if I'll fit in the size 27s...

This is what happens when you eat healthy.

Eatjunkfoodandgetfat.

BUT I'M SO EXCITED.

I'm not really picky about frozen yogurts, and Pinkberry is just one of the more expensive ones...

But when I do go to frozen yogurt joints I get strawberries, mangos, and mochi.

But it also depends on what fruit is in season.

Pure Blue Japan has a new jean coming out and I believe it is a jean many of you will love.

Do you love the AI-001 18.5oz slubby hand dyed denim but hate the cut?

Well Pure Blue Japan came out with the AI-002 which has the same denim but the cut from the xx-005/xx-007/xx-08/xx-10.

Enjoy!

Are they going to cost as much as the AI-001?

If so.

My waist has stretched out like 2 sizes up from the tagged size but the rest of the jeans seem about the same size so I might have to soak up the waist real quick. Can I dip the pants in water from the crotch up to shrink that specific area, or would a full soak do the trick?

I've said this before in the thread somewhere, really far back.

But I sized up one from these when I got them because the lady at Hinoya said they wouldn't stretch that much.

Bullshit.

My waist is like 2 inches bigger now.

And even when I soak them they only stay the original waist size for about an hour, then they stretch back out, I'm not sure how much help the soaking will be... I just wear them and they are baggy, but oh well, still love the slub and denim.

If you don't need them hemmed they'll go out on monday morning and you'll have them tuesday.

And yes, we ship to PO Boxes, just put in the comments to ship it via USPS.

I'm sorry Kiya.

But do I need to put the PO box in my address information or just inside the comments box?

Thank you! Sorry for the trouble.

You guys really need to settle down. I can't imagine how much work it is just to put together a size chart on brand new denims and rush it out so everyone can see exactly what size they SHOULD order.

I also can't imagine the defeat of the upcoming 100 post by 100 different people describing what size they wear in some other denim and then asking Kiya to tell them what size to order.

Hats off to you Kiya for what is ahead. I imagine being kicked in the nuts every 10 min's from now until Monday might be a good way to describe whats in store for you this weekend.

Patience is a virtue.

One most of us denim-hungry-fucks don't have.

Breaking my balls here Kiya.

Just kidding, I've got midterms to study for so it's all good, but I still obsessively check this thread...

He stocks a bunch of raw denim and other stuff from Japan. He ships the red tabbed skulls internationally and his english is pretty good. I haven't had the chance[money] to order from him yet but I've heard he is reliable.

[email protected]

That is his email and his english is very good.

Shipping is also express and it's about 4-5 days to LA I believe. It's a bit more expensive but still reasonable.

Good luck!

I just eat fruit I take from the dining hall.

Haha...

Soap + water = less of that happening.

Asians have next level acne.

Tragedy.

And yes please underestimate Chinese have it bad. I'm Taiwanese, but my momma cooks both. :)/:(

But since I been at college I eat lots of salad everyday, it's like so much easier to eat healthy if you don't have to prepare it.

u talkin bout me or leatherseatbelt? but either way, im feelin u on the clearasil hahaha

To be honest clearasil never worked for me. I used that shit from costco, uhhh...I forgot what it's called but you guys know what I mean?

Asians have mad acne.

I started this thread once, it didn't really take off...

We could work in collaboration.

lul.

Rad. I second that notion with the fading - mine are ~9 months, and I'd say they definitely have some fading going on. It's not definitely not so much noticeable as the indigos, but it's there.

Well...mine aren't 9 months old yet, haha.

They are approaching the 2.5 month mark and the creases are visible and the combs are at least set[no real fading, just creases for now] but the roping on the bottom is very visible.

How is your pair going?

Kiya, if I were to be unable to make it to SF to get them. (I STILL PLAN TO.)

How long would shipping take?

I'm at Santa Cruz if that makes a difference.

[You do ship to P.O. right? Or else I'm screwed...]

Soon my Diors will go into rotation with the SuFuxSExDB collab.

BUT, contrary to popular belief, my black 19cms are actually fading!

BOOM TIME

so good

I don't think you know.

I'm wiping the semen off my jeans right now...

I'm going to be honest.

I nearly always get new Pokémon games when they come out.

I'm looking forward to Platinum, I played the Japanese version for a bit and it pretty much worked most kinks that were wrong with Diamond and Pearl.

Too much time wasted on the series, but it holds a special place in my heart haha

That, being semi-Anonymous on the internet, and at least in some way, past that stage that people have when they're 13 and embarrassed about something that isn't a big deal.

Helps if your Asian, its expected of you.

This is true.

lol.
