@SCDL It happened to me too. I'd bet that next season's won't have this problem.

I'm going to get the BiG special ones and size up a size from the 29's.

Also, I emailed Brandon about shipping them back for a repair for a couple things, haven't heard back yet, maybe I emailed to the wrong address.

@grouse I think that a possible explanation for that could be that the fabric is at a given state, over time you're stretching it, and when water comes in contact with it it wants to return to it's original state.

I've never owned a pair of APC's, but could that be the cause? Or are they tighter than when you first bought them? Or is it you might just feel like they are because they've been stretched so long?

Did I make the thread explode by putting those two brands together?

I know they're not exactly the same as far as cut or quality. <./obvious>

Skull 5010's or Naked & Famous weird guy Big Special?

Also going for the straight slim cut, probably slimmer than most.

Rockstar fit :] sans star for me =P

How would I go about selling a size 29 pair of Naked and Famous Deep Indigo Weird Guy Selvage?

Naked and Famous Weird Guys. Sized Down 2 because I thought a 29 which measures 31 around the waist would fit my 31 true waist. They're definitely tight, but I think once they're completely broken in they'll look great.

Hey guys, I emailed N&F like I said, told them what was up.

I got two replies from Brandon Svarc, I was happy with how he handled everything. He said he would repair the jeans if I sent them to him.

I asked him if I could exchange for a size bigger, and he said he really couldn't trade them for a bigger pair. He said "We stand behind our product, but choosing the right size is up to you." Which I can understand.

I'll take it as a lesson this time. They're fine really, as long as they don't rip again, they're starting to stretch out more.

He said he'd even repair them a few months from now if they ripped.

Overall, I'm really happy with the N&F's customer service.

got these AE jeans just a lil big im like 6'4 so i need it to shrink a lil is it possible to soak these pants an if so for how long?

To answer your question, if you're talking about American Eagle jeans. Soaking them won't shrink them. The jeans have most likely been put through some industrial washes to get all the shrinking out and to make them softer.

If you can, take the jeans back and get a different size.

I think your intention was good coming to a denim forum to ask a question about jeans, but Superdenim is more for raw/dry denim and higher quality brands.

The posts you're going to find about soaking/shrinking denim are going to be referring to those types of jeans.

Edit: This thread is about fit pictures of jeans and the descriptions of that fit. So asking about shrinking, and my answering your question is missplaced in this thread.

@ Somnus, I'm absolutely sure about my true waist. I just got fitted for a tuxedo and that's what they measured my waist at (right below the navel)

The only thing that I can think of is that I should have measured more from where they go around my hips because they're a low rise jean.

Next time I order anything offline I'm just going to go off my favorite pair of jeans minus stretch. That's what the BiG site recommends anyway.

soonami - Thanks I'll wear them and see if they stretch out more, and get ahold of BiG if they rip again.

Thanks Hendodo - it's good to know this is a common problem and not something that's a special case and I just got an unusual pair.

Vanquish Gold, I'm glad my misfortune brought you fortune

DCDenim - I'll definitely keep you posted. I'll try the soaking and wearing when it's a nice day and I'm off of work. I know the Deep Indigos have a ton of indigo in them (the first days I wore them everytime I washed my hands the soap turned blue), but do you think they'll still fade as beautifully with a soak? I've read that people soak the weird guys sometimes just to remove the starch. Isn't them being stiffer, "better" though?

andreweezer - The top button seems like it's under a lot of pressure, it hasn't popped off yet, but it does seem to be under a lot of stress. I hope it doesn't. If it does, can that be fixed?

Thank you all for your speedy replies.

Hi SuperFuture, I'm new here. I've been lurking a little while. Great wealth of knowledge, and if any of you are like me, it's probably hard letting some of your knowledge go - it's like you wanna hoard all of it for yourself

But if you all would be kind enough, I have a question that someone might be able to answer.

I have a pair of Weird Guy Deep Indigo Selvage, which I bought from BiG. According to their measurement guide, a tagged 29 is 31 around the waist. My true waist is 31. Plus I knew that most Dry Denim Stretches with wear. So that's what I based my size off of.

I got them, and they were hellaaaa tight. I had abrasions on my hips from the waist and blisters on my fingers from the buttons. But I figured, heck, a lot of people go through this initial discomfort and the jeans eventually stretch to perfection.

Well the legs still fit great, but about a week into wearing them, the seam where the button fly tape is just ripped about an inch.

I sewed them back up with extra strong stiches, but I'm still pissed.

I got a hold of BiG, and I asked them if I could return the jeans, but they said they couldn't if they've been worn (because they can't resell them)

I didn't really explain my whole story, so I can't blame BiG.

So I emailed Naked and Famous and am waiting for a reply.

So now I'm trying to wear the jeans some more, but they are very uncomfortable in the top block. The waist is a bit more stretched out to the point of being bearable, but the rest of the top block is just TOO tight.

So, SuFu, will these stretch out even more, or should I just try to sell them somehow, at a loss, and size up one?
