SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
gmn replied to minya's topic in superdenim
Anyone have experience repairing button holes? What's my best option? Two different tailors i've talked to have said $20/button hole because it has to be hand sewn. I have two pairs of Freewheelers (1947 pictured, and also '51) where I'm getting the same issue—the black stitching surrounding the button hole cut starts to come undone. I'm worried if I don't reinforce it it will eventually be fraying through the denim itself.

I lost an inch in the inseam with the first hot wash and dry of my one wash 47's and it hasn't shrunk at all after that with many more (cold) washes and dryer trips.
-
I ended up getting the 51 in the same size as my 47 and they both fit great. I was surprised at how the 51 top block (mostly the hips area) actually feels looser than on my 47's? Rise is definitely smaller, but still comfortable. My 47's feel like higher rise than I *need*, and the 51's are spot on. Waist fits the same between the two for me.

My '47s after about 3 months on top of some brand new 601rb's delivered from Hoosiers yesterday. Really like the fit of the RB. Might have to try some '51s down the road.

You’re right… my mistake 🤦🏻♂️. Definitely thought it was much further back than that but maybe there was another discussion.

Apologies in advance as I know I've seen this discussed before but I can't seem to find it through search— I've got a pair of 32 601xx 1947's which fit me perfectly. Good in the waist, comfortable room in the top block and thigh. Should I go with the same size 601rb? I thought I saw somewhere that they fit more like the 51's? Is that going to make the top block and thigh a good bit tighter at the same size?

Had them hemmed by SoaS to 30” and after the first cold wash + hang dry they measure 29” in the inseam. Gave them the hot wash and a bit of time in the dryer and they’re still right around 29” inseam.

Post cold wash fit. Legs are nice and roomy, top is ever so slightly snug, but is already stretching out. Might do one more hot wash just to get whatever shrink is left out (lost an inch in the inseam with the first cold wash) but feeling like the sizing worked out pretty well!
-
Picked up a pair of one wash 1947’s and the fit is pretty spot on. Any wisdom on how much shrink to expect from washing on the one wash version, or on how stretchy the denim is?
-
Anyone have a recommendation for a FW model if my best fitting pair of jeans are Fullcount 1101? Something relatively straight, room in the thigh and hips, and a mid to high rise? Ideally that fades nicely to a bright blue? I was thinking the 47 makes the most sense.
