  1. cuz jeans give me wings. jeans aren't everything in life, but unlike many other garments, jeans look even better when they dirty or broken in. you don't really have to be bothered to wash them regularly unlike a tee shirt or a pair of trousers. i could look dressy or casual in jeans. enough said.

  2. I was wondering what size should I get if I want to get an LVC denim jacket? I tried a medium and it fit me snug so I tried the large and it was somewhat big on me. Should I size up or TTS? I am planning on wearing layers underneath it. It's gonna be cold later on. Also, do I need to soak it first or can I simply wear it raw? thanks

  3. ^ there are two methods you could follow.

    1) Pre-Soak

    Choose the size that is an inch larger than your waist, then soak them in warm water and hang to dry before wearing. They will shrink down to a tight fit and will stretch with wear.

    OR

    2) No-Soak

    Buy them tight and do not soak before wearing. They will stretch with wear. This method is for the guy that seldom or never washes his jeans. If you go this route and you end up washing them, just make sure to put them on when they are still wet and wear them to dry. This will keep them from getting too small.

  4. Tagged 30s measure 32 raw, so isn't the 32.5" you quote actually only 0.5" of stretch?

    My guess is that yours will shrink to 30" or so and maybe stretch back to 31".

    No, tagged 30 measured as 30ish raw and they have stretched out to a 32ish. I measured them when I first got them.

    As for shrinking issue, I will wear them as I soak them so they do not shrink as much and I will step on the inseams too while they are still damp.

  5. Just another quick question. Unsanforized denims are usually "stiff" or "brittle", is not soaking your jeans causing it to be more prone to wear and tear?

    isn't that the whole idea of wearing DRY denim? wear and tear? ;)

  6. ^ i have the same pair like him (0201) in size 30 and they have stretched out to a 32.5. i never soaked them since i got them.

    here's the measurement from BIG:

    Measurements are in inches and before washing:

    average shrinkage: 2" in the waist & inseam, 1/2" in rise,thigh,knee, & leg opening

    further shrinkage may occur with high heat washing and high heat machine drying
