got s5000vx hemmed

women cant measure properly so its a bit longer than i asked but w/e

after specifically saying and writing down taper from the knee down on my 007s, i went to tailors today and they were taken in from crotch,also hem stitching was loose/gone for some reason... /pop vein

last attempt at another tailor they fucked it up too, so had it reverted and just hemmed ...

brb never going to a tailor again, so much fail

oakwood/sand suede sz 10

xx-009 sz 32

pm me

I agree the leg opening is too big in the larger sizes. It makes the cut look like a bootcut. I'm having my size 36 007 tapered below the knee down to a new leg opening of 8.5.

yup, ive got a sz 36 xx007, keep me posted on how it goes + pics after?

hey 005/007 owners, j/w how much of a taper u got on urs, if u altered them. the leg opening is too big atm for my size...

^ TO.

10char..

dont want selvedge to go wide; if i get my jeans tapered on the inseam, then i will lose the topstitch yes? or is there anotehr way to do it? sorta hesitant to get my pbjs tapered.

edit: how much of a taper will make it look straight? cuz atm its perfectly straight measured, which looks pseudo-bootcut. =/

had a hell of a fucking headache goin to tailors other day.

what is so hard to understand about geting a narrower leg opening without a taper? do tailors all have a mental deficiency of some kind? ive seen many pairs on this forum that had it done, is there some kind of magic word for this alteration or what? irate as fuck man.

What size are they compared to your normal size? I sized up on my Samurai 710's for the slouchy, anti-fit silhouette, but it isn't working with those PBJ's. I dont think the cut of them suits loose wear to be honest, shame as they are really nice jeans.

yeah, pretty irritated atm lol. im wearing s5000vx in 33 and they are ok-sized to a little slim. idk i heard size up if you have any muscle in thighs. and yeah they are perfcet in the thigh, just seat is lookin a bit baggy and knee down is loose.

Nah those look fine dvskei. You'll probably be happier with them in the long run if they are a little baggier now.

how do you mean farmer? think i got all the shrinkage out already with 2 scalding hot soaks + 1 tumble dry :confused:

either way, the leg opening will drag all over the pavement so that needs to be brought in, i was planning to go to tailors tmr to get the sams hemmed and these fitted to my legs a bit better, have them back after weekend

after a day of wear im wishing i went TTS instead, its too relaxed. off to tailors tmr :/

after 2 soaks. everything went better than expected :/ presoak they looked ridiculously big

thigh is perfect. wont need to stretch these. knee down looks ~1" wide still imo. leather patch got raped

awesome subtle details..

XX007s arrived at noon. Sized up one for muscular legs, did 1 hot soak 1 tumble dry high. In tub for 2nd soak right now then hang dry...pics later...

Leg opening looks wide as shit being perfectly straight, will probably have to taper 1"

im 5'10 for reference, and they look ok going from 36" to 32.5". thanks guys

3.5" off, bring in the leg opening no taper, and keep the selvedge..

theres no chainstitching here though so what should i ask for?

i know that the xx009 sz 33 would be the best fit for me, but its OOS...im impatient as fuck. srs these make me want to drop my s5000vx and wear them all day everyday. looks sexy as fuck

but im going with sz36 xx007 and maybe tapering after if needed? jus measured and my lower waist (low rise) where i wear the jeans is 36" anyway. lifting will probably only make my transverse abs larger soon so the waist measurement wont be an issue. who knows they might just be a good fit actually o_O

are PBJs a bad choice for people who lift/have big calves and thighs?

my waist measures 34, thighs at 24 and calves at 16.5

the 007s looking tempting though =/

get 009's. same denim, wider thigh. compare the measurements. anyways, can't you just measure a pair of jeans/pants and compare them?

^ thanks for the xx009 link, didnt see that model. OOS though.

still, i think im going with 007 since there is so much sizing advice for it, none for the 009.

the best size would probably be 35 for the 007, but gotta go with either 36 hot soak/wash or 34 cold :S

so last question, how much do PBJs stretch compared to samurais? just concerned with the thighs

any tips from pbj owners with muscular legs would be appreciated.

are PBJs a bad choice for people who lift/have big calves and thighs?

my waist measures 3, thighs at 24 and calves at 16.5

the 007s looking tempting though =/

will do. seemed worth a shot since you guys know so much and i just gettin started lol.

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

Want to get a fit like this, thanks

Hemming Q; I've seen a few pairs where the leg opening is brought in, but it seems like they are not tapered at all in the legs. This makes it stack nicely with boots and etc, but doesnt look like skinny fag jeans. HOW DO?

love that fit. how did you size?

+rep

thanks

waist = 34"

about 3 weeks of wear, havent hemmed these yet
