yliafp

1 month, never washed or soaked

sz29 grifter, (they're pretty tight)

i dont really like how high my stacks go..is there anything i can do?

just stumbled upon this and thought i'd share.

j. cole wearing imperials hah

i dont know if i like his fit

do stacks occur naturally or do you make an effort to force them into shape?

my pants are starting to form a stack shape and i kind of wish i clumped them towards the bottom more when i first started wearing them

poly, are those cone mills or the newer japanese denim?

they're lookin goooooddd

man I wish I could afford one Iron Heart shirt, let alone a whole closet's worth.

what makes an ironheart shirt so expensive?

if i only cuff my jeans some of the time, will it produce ugly fades?

Personal taste: Fullcount, Warehouse, Samurai, Flat Head, Indigoskin, ...

ive definitely looked at a lot of flathead and samurai and find myself liking IH fades more

but you're right, it really is just personal taste haha

I have to agree here. There are brands that fade much "better" than IH. It seems that these are very tough to break in

what brands? i really thought IH's generally had the best fades ive seen

can't afford IH's but damn do I want a pair

are there any IH's without awesome fades???

Does ANYone have a completely unbiased view towards anything? Ruminate on that, grasshoppa.

my mind is blown

can i point out that as logical as kiya sounds, i dont think he could have an unbiased response to this?

I can understand why Roy would need to increase the price to make full-time jean making a viable career choice, but how would you guys feel about the price increase if he did not collaborate with SE?

edit:

this isnt a challenge or debate or anything, i'm really just curious

i reallllyy wish i discovered this thread a couple months earlier

i'm definitely curious whats going to happen after the price increase

Need to get my Sams hemmed soon. How much hem recommended based on this pic?

Want to get a fit like this, thanks

why dont you just cuff them up inside out and see what you like?

this is my grifter fit, the top button pop out, and the second top going to pop up to... hahaha

what do you thing guys? when i sit, i fill so tight..

what should i do with the top button?

how long have you had your grifters? mine are also really tight im crossing my fingers that they stretch more

...any one else's buttons breaking??

i know this is going to sound silly but if you switch to banana hammocks it'll fix yliafp has with his underpants... i'm betting he had a difficult time buttoning cause his underpants kept riding up. fit is good yliafp.... switch the undies so you dont get a muffin top

didnt know what a banana hammock was until i looked it up

can i buy some on amazon?

thanks for the input though, i'm leaning more towards keeping these now!

i adjusted these like crazy cause the lighting makes it really hard to see..hopefully it helps

if they're presoak and unsanforized..you're in trouble buster

what if they're sanforized?

anyone interested in 29x32 ande whall grifters?

^are they post soak? Don't have whallls, but denim will stretch back out after a soak. You'll be fine just gut out the first few days

I'm trying to save people from ruining the patch on their jeans.

Can't find the pic of what a boil soak did to mine (shrinky dink'd it), but don't let it happen to you.

Pre soak :/

I measured my waist as 29 and when i tried on my new size 29 jeans (ande whall grifters) today they were REALLY tight. However, after considerable effort I can button them up. Movement is also somewhat difficult. can I expect them to stretch out enough in the next month that its not going to be a workout putting the pants on and I can squat wearing them?

Or is there anything I can try?

Got my grifters today!

they're really tight, but i can button them up after considerable effort..should i count on them stretching out?

and by tight I mean it's hard to even bend my knees

does anyone know how long the jeans stay in US customs?

Hi guys,

I have a pair of sugar cane hawaiis that I don't want anymore. They are practically brand new with only 3 wears.

Here is the link to the jeans http://www.selfedge.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=280

And here are some quick pictures I snapped

There you can see a hidden rivet poking through and starting to fade, that was from sitting down on concrete with them.

And here is the whole thing, they have not been altered at all.

I don't check my PM inbox too often so please shoot me an email at mike6789 [at] gmail

Thanks for looking, I am asking for $200, this is $100 less than MSRP so i'm pretty firm on it... let me know if you are interested

just got the email that the jeans are in the mail

he finished making them in 2 days!

^ same. super fast.

5 business days for my last pair

5 business days from when you ordered???

i ordered some 15.5oz grifters a couple days ago! can't wait
