Blue in Green N-01 jeans

anticipating weight loss (not going to happen) + delusional ideas. Try asking Santa

You don't know very much about me, so you have no idea whether I am capable of losing weight. What are the additional ideas that you consider delusional?

[Flash]

Ok so your aware the jeans are unsanforized ,so you then know that when soaked the denim shrinks.

If you are going to wear them raw you will set creases in the denim and eventually these creases will fade then when you come to soak

Them there gonna shrink amd these fades will shift , but more importantly the unsoaked denim is full of startch and if worn unsoaked

The threads and denim will weaken due to the rigitidy of the starchy denim

[sambabear]

Answer: unsanforized, nuff said.

[clayton]

Bump for amazing jeans. at some point i'll rotate these into daily wear with my 3sixteen+ 21bsp.

[lioneironaut]

Anyone got some evo on these? been curious!

[TooAwesome]

not feeling the leather patch design. i know its 'clever' how they incorporated the IN with the N's on green and japan but it looks crappy compared to their other design on the chinos

[clayton]

That's not the patch on the 5th year anniversary pair.

this is

[manboobies]

Thank god for that! the "blue i green made i japan looks" rubbish.

[aho]

you bastard

[demarco]

Really glad I picked up the N-02s, they are wearing in nicely. I'd post pictures, but there is something wacky with my account on the new board.

[jyoni]

I don't think I can do the rise. They look awesome though. A tip for big guys, there is one pair of 36 at BiG with an extra 1/4" in the thigh. A bit of extra room in the thigh won't make it work for me, but it could help if you're on the fence.

what up, foolz. one of the better steals of the summer. i already broke my new year's resolution... well, at least I made it 7 months.

^a shame more pairs weren't bought initially, they were already a steal before the sale

Ditto. I had the same resolution and just caved. $179 for these was too good of a deal to pass up.

[nobertxrolley]

how are you guys sizing these.. im torn between sizing down one to a 29 my tts is a 30. is there truly a 2 inch loss on the waist in a hot wash? how much will the waist bust out?

[erockisalive]

I went tts (34, or what I assumed was tts) and got them in the mail yesterday and could even button them up all the way. I returned them and am sizing up to a 36. Maybe I've just gained wait, so I don't know if that helps. I'd definitely pay attention to their size chart and would probably not size down.

It was a total tease to have to send them back.

According to their sizing chart, the W34 starts off at 36†before shrinking to 34†after soak.

In your particular case, do you believe that they shrunk more than 2 inches in the waist?

Or perhaps, you’re accustomed to buying W34 in mall-brand jeans which really have a 36†waist?

[erockisalive]

^yeah, I guess I am just used to more vanity sized jeans, though my flathead 310's are 34 and fit me fine (but have a way lower rise). My lvc 47s are 36 and fit a little loose. Who knows.

I didn't even get to the shrinking stage because I could tell that if I did they'd be way too tight.

[JCrislip]

I went true to size (31) and they shrunk perfectly from a 33 to 31 after a soak. I would go true to tag size

[anklspr]

The rise on those jeans is pretty low too, back more than most. Unless you sag your jeans this could be why you found them to be tighter around the waist. I doubt that they shrunk more than BiG's sizing chart suggests, though.

I wish we could see a pair with some wear on them! The description BiG gives of the denim sounds like the fading would be awesome.

[Kwaker]

Good to know that the charts are reliable.

I'm located outside of the US, so customs and shipping fees will make any exchanges to be very undesirable.

Bought the N-01 only initial soak from GupNasty, no fades and brand new.

Went tts on this pair and fits me perfect at the moment.

The rise really did take me by surprise though, fits so snug.

Thick denim, and great tapered fit. Can't wait to see how these progress.

[Kwaker]

Get'em quick ... some sizes have sold out. I got the last pair of 31s.

[uninkco]

Wish it was a bit slimmer down the leg.... Awesome looking denim tho

[GupNasty]

Picked up a pair of N-02's in a 29. Really awesome denim.

Pre-soak measurements for a 29 if anyone is curious:

Waist: 15.5"

Front rise: 10.5"

Back rise: 13.5"

Thigh: 11.5"

Knee: 8.25"

Hem: 8.0"

Inseam: 33 (hemmed for 31" post-soak)

Pre-Soak:

Post-Soak:

The color is definitely 'blue in green'. Here's some context (N-02 to the far left):

Overall, really satisfied with the fit. Can't wait to start breaking these in!

[TooAwesome]

and your post soak measurements?

[GupNasty]

and your post soak measurements?

After a little more than an hour warm soak:

Waist: 15.0"

Front rise: 10.25"

Back rise: 13.0"

Thigh: 11.5"

Knee: 8.0"

Hem: 7.5"

Inseam: 31.0"

I predict there to be a bit more shrinking left.

I wear a 29 in NF WeirdGuy, 29 in 3sixteen SL-100x, 30 in Japan Blue JB0101/NF SkinnyGuy, etc...Is it feasible for me to wear a 28 in the N-02s? The post-soak measurements on the 29 seem awesome from the knee upwards though..just wish it had more taper to it below the knee. On the other hand, the 28 is relatively feasible everywhere except potentially the top block.

For reference, the jeans I'm currently wearing-

Waist:15.5

Thigh:11.5

Knee:8

Hem:7

But I'm looking for like a 7.25 in the hem

[Kwaker]

If you do decide on the 28, don’t worry about suffering too long with a snug top block. My pair stretched back to near pre-soak dimensions in just a couple of days (as opposed to weeks for my Flat Heads).

Whatever size you chose, I think that you’ll appreciate the uniqueness of the material. My only knock is the 4-button fly … my size 31 could easily do with a 5^th button.
