  1. Not frowned upon, people have their own opinions about it.

    Personally, they're your jeans so do what you want with them, I do always wonder if the taper people should have just bought a different cut though.

    Also, beware that if you want to keep the selvedge line that they will have to be tapered from the inside.

    Yea, I like the denim its the Studio X's-33 nep 21 oz. so it only came in the one cut that when i looked into it i thought id like it ut the foot opening is just a bit big for my taste. :(

  2. ONI has a 20 oz unsanforized available through Blue in Green. They also have an 18 oz. If there wasn't the special 25 oz MBB's option screaming my name I would have gone with the ONI 20's.

    On a scale of 1-10 how frowned upon is it to get my jeans tapered? 1 being no big deal 10 being banned from the forum? And do they do this at blue in green?

  3. NF needs to make a really high quality flagship pair of dark indigo jeans for us denim nerds. Price isn't really the concern but they need to nail quality and consistency. Maybe 15-17 oz unsanforized fabric milled and crafted in Japan available in all three fits? I love NF as a company and would love to buy another pair of jeans from them... but they have nothing high-end apart from collaborations. :(

    AMEN to that! I have had nothing but love for my Big John collabs and nothing but problems with my elephant 2's. My elephants have very little wear since i got them mid winter last year. Way to warm to wear during summer here. I'd say over all 3 - 4 months tops and I have had them sent back to re sew the fly, taylored to resew button holes, butt/crothc reienforcement and patch cause the inner seam was already wearing right through, and now my patch is ripped off from getting caught as i sat in a chair. They are just starting to look nice, but I'm afriad to wear them hard at all. defeats the purpose. overall i am SO VERY DISSAPOINTED with N&F recently, and will most likely not be buying another pair of their jeans any time soon. Just my two cents I know, and if I dont like it I can leave, but I felt obligated to share since we all give each other tips and help.

  4. Naked & Famous big slub or elephant 2. Karmaloop usually has them with promo and rep codes to take off 21%. Or Paulrose 17 oz. for $230....can't think of any cheaper heavyweight that isn't done by Brandon Svarc.

    I can not say much for Paulrose but as for my elephant 2's i would have to say they are a 100% DO NOT COP. My have had a blow out by the fly that the company reswed after 3 weeks in the mail. a ripped button hole my nice neighborhood taylor fixed for me and just the other day the patch caught an edge on a chair as i say down and nearly ripped clear off my jeans. the thigh inside seam was shredding really early on and ive had to get a huge butt patch and reenforcment sewn into to keep from a croth blowout already. The denim is heavy as hell. The color is nice. They fade really easily, but I whole heartedly have to stear you away from them.

    They just started to fade too and I was really likeing them when the patch most recently came undone. I am appaled at the construction of these jeans, and in the N&F thread have seem other blowouts and popped buttons. Even if the company fixes it free the $20 and 3 weeks in the mail was terrible.

    I truely hope I just had a bad experience with these and others will prove me wrong.

  5. One cold soak and 4 wears on my X's-33s pretty happy with them so far, but guna get them hemmed I think. I'l post some fit pics soon.

    Also...

    Anyone interested in buying this bag that came with my X's-33?

    PM me if you want more pics.

  6. These are what I'll be carrying throughout the competition, the coin, and lighter at all times. I'll have to see which knife fits best, but I usually rotate between these three custom Emerson knives, occasionally adding in something from another maker, but I always have one Emerson on me. I could always go for a pocket pistol fade, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of concealed carry ;)

    Sorry I asked lol. Please dont kill me. Great looking pieces there though.

  7. Got a particular Knife for the Knife Pocket in the MBB?

    This is a feature I find really interesting, although being in the UK it's not likely mine will get used as much as in other countries where the laws are more accommodating.

    Might be interesting to carry the same one for the whole comp - although may not be practical.

    I'm keen to acquire a Shing Slip-joint for that reason. :)

    Who has stuff they plan to carry every day with them for the whole competition? Wallet? Knife? Key Ring? Lighter? Something else? Lets hear about it.

    In all of my jeans a carry a silver quarter in my coin pocket. Nothing crazy but my HWDC pair has a 1964 full silver american 25cent piece in it.

  8. Sure I can read ten pages, but shouldn't it be as easy as possible to know everything that the competitor need to know to participate to the contest? How else are we supposed to get as many as we can to do this all the way?

    I'm to interesded and forward that I can take the time and effort to get all the information that I need. But those who's not as I am and just sees that there's some competition but just wont bother to read 10 pages will probably just ignore it.

    But hey, thats just how I think it should be. You have to be really clear with everyone, and espacally not answer with that attitude.

    No one is getting paid for their time put in here. Quit trolling.

    So many leather choices! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!

  9. I saw them at the blue in green store two weeks ago. They fit like a regular straight cut so I don't think there's a N&F equivalent. The fabric is really interesting and it looks like there's snow on your jeans.

    Here it is on the BiG site!

    Thanks! Yea saw the sight, its super neppy, all the little knots in the weft show thorugh.I thought it lokked snowy too didn't know if that was intentional for xmas haha.

    Looks like their waist measurments are true to tag size so you have to size up where as some other companies make a larger waist that will shrink to the right size?

  10. HEY ALL!

    Anyone here have the most recent X-mas release X's-33?

    Looking to get some feed back, fit pics, places to buy them, comments, concerns, something else they fit similar too?

    N&F fit equivilant?

    Fit pics of other Studio jeans that are the same or similar fit?

    Didn't see anything in the last few pages so thanks for any help!

  11. OKAY!

    I've been meaning to take some pictures of these for a while so I just snapped some in the driveway since its gorgeous weather outside today in NJ!

    Naked and Famous X Big John Collab

    I have owned these since 6/28/11 and I would say about 8 months of wear since I have to wear shorts at work and some days were just too hot, and wore couple other jeans on and off too. I love how these have come along. Comments/Questions?

    1 Wash around 6 months.

    2 Soaks.

    Crotch repair around 6 months.

    Loved since day 1.

    This was just a quick thing I can get some more pictures and possibly higher quality if need be?

    Thanks!

  12. Hey just wanted to double check if the lighter has been sent or will be soon? Its been 2 weeks now and I havent gotten a package or email saying it was shipped. Thanks.

    I think this got overlooked. It was guna be a present for a friend and its way past now, just making sure it wasnt overlooked or out of stock. Thanks.

  13. Hey - SENY is getting restocks in so we are going to ship you a lighter from our stock. It should go out in the next day or two. Thanks for your patience!

  14. Naked & Famous X Big John Collabs! I seriously love these jeans. I'm about to order another pair to keep on ice for when these bite the dust, but I also have a new pair of ROY Narrows 04 to wear.

    Ive lost count of the amount of time wearing these cause ive just enjoyed wearing them, and summer was too hot to wear every day. I'm guna say about a full year of wear with some shorts, elephant 2's, and roys mixed in. Got them new on 6/28/2011

    Just some phone pics right now but I'm trying to borrow a friends camera to get some serious pics of them and my RoyN04 soon.
