  1. 4 hours ago, machine-language said:

    the jeans I love the most have these measurements after they're done stretching or shrinking (measured like Blue in Green measures):

    7.5 - 8" front rise, 11.5 - 12" back rise, 32.5 - 33" waistband, 11 - 11.5" upper thigh (thigh measurement is usually the holdup if jeans don't fit me, I'm a lot more comfortable with the upper end of that range and can't go below 11" at all)

    inseam minimum 31" if it's a skinny fit that fits like leggings, 32-36" inseam if it is a slim straight or "cigarette" fit that stacks on top of my shoes even if I'm wearing high heeled boots (like the 008 size 27 does in the picture above), 34-35" inseam if the leg opening is wide enough to cover a high heeled boot and fall down to the floor ...and I always prefer inseams longer than these just in case it has any shrinkage left in it when I wash it 

    Somet 008 matches those measurements so nicely. and so does Samurai Geisha. and Baldwin Ten Skinny.  Flathead Balder maybe...I keep an eye out for that on ebay but usually I only find it with inseam too short.

    Inseam too short, thighs too small, or rise way too high in the size that fits my thighs, are usually the issues when I try to look for jeans. and I've had really bad luck sizing up then getting the waist taken in (got at least 1 pair of jeans ruined that way, they came back looking completely asymmetrical) so I don't do that any more.

     

    Ok check these out, maybe you could find cheaper on yahoo Japan? This is taken from blueowl

  2. I don't have one, I'm in the UK so we have regular ones??

     

    I have a double sided sink at home so the right side is for my cleaning jeans. I feel it up with enough warm water to cover the jeans.I add some washing powder and give it some agitation and leave for 30 mins, rinse will cold water ring it out and hang dry.

    Seems to work for me although it takes around two days to fully dry in my flat.
