I may have to sell my 3001's, after 7 days of wear, they are still too tight on the waist for where i want them to sit, i've been trying to make them stretch, but it doesnt seem like its going to happen, if i size up one, they should fit alot better...

so size 32, 3001s you may see in the supermarket soon, how sad

my waist: 32.5

my hips: 34.5 <~~ this is killing me for these jeans

[beatle]

That sucks...but these babies don't stretch a lot...

I've worn them for almost 2 months now - maybe half an inch overall...they are like weight control....

[sidneylo]

Nice beginnings of whiskers in the pocket. I never paid attention to mine but they are killer.

I am biding my time for the next wash. They're not that dirty... yet.

Bummer.

Wish I could trade you mine, since they are 34s and too loose for my liking! But I've already worn the hell out of them.

And I would offer to buy 'em outright but I've already got my eyes on a pair of Wrath Arcanes new raw jeans, so I'm outta the running.

Hope you can sell them and get another pair. 3001s were my first pair of raw selvege and I love 'em!

i'll keep you posted, they have no signs of wear yet, just some creases that have no fading, (that you would get wearing any pair of jeans)

worn very lightly (just walking/sitting, etc)

Yet another example of how cool Kiya is, (as if the frikin' denim tuxedo wasn't enough)

[john11f]

just wondering, why is the 3001 more popular than the 5100XX limited ed. 10th anniv? better fit? color? fading?

CAUSE I MADE IT SEXY

Seriously though, it's a slimmer fit. If you could graft denim onto skin for 'skin tight' jeans, superfuture would be all over it.

yeah wondering are they made with the same denim ( duh 13.75 oz compared to 14.5 oz) ... anyone?

Because of two reasons..

1. The denim used for the 3001 and F310 is the 3XXX denim which has those amazing fading properties that people dig

2. The fit is absolutely perfect if you're looking for a slim fitting jean that's still classic looking

no.. not same denim. ones 5xxx denim and ones 3xxx denim. ones 13.75 and ones 14.5.. theyre different,

[edmond]

ohh .. err do they fade the same? and just different ounces or just the weight?

[dino might]

couldnt say about that fading, thats one for kiya, i imagine its at least a little bit different between the two

[Pandemonium]

if it's not the same denim, they'll tend to fade differently.

the higher the oz it seems, the harder to leave an imprint.

although this does not mean fading is more difficult or less difficult, but is usually less pronounced as there are still dark warp threads under the immediate surface of the jean.

not to litter up the thread with stupid questions, but i was looking into buying a pair of 3001's from the self edge online store and was wondering what size i should get being that i wear a 31 normally.

[edmond]

thanks vets! dont like the cut on those 510xx and the 3001's too slm maybe the 3008's

[john11f]

the 5100XX is perfect for tall people (like what someone posted here earlier). the wide leg opening compliments the slightly longer rise. at first it was tight in the waste but has stretched to tag size.

i don't like skinny jeans anyway...

You wear a 31 in what brands/models of jeans?

[constant struggle]

Kiya, i'll let you know about those 33's after i sell these 32s

[grand_theft_auto]

Has anyone noticed how these jeans are big and poof out on the ass? Mine are a 33 and fit ok on the waist, but after 2 soaks the butt area is way too roomy. Do you just keep washing and wearing until they take on a reasonable shape is the cut just crappy?

Raw denim, and especially denim as stiff as Flat Head's, will not sit properly until worn at least 15 or 20 times.

Hey guys,

been looking at this thread and its past pages. couldn't really come up with a concensus, but it appears that I should get my true waist size, 31.

I wear a sz 29 in APC NS, and just want the same fit as those jeans. Are the legs of the F310/3100 tapered? On selfedge, it appears that the hem is around ~8 (in my waist size), compared to the 7.75" hem of my APC NS.

Are these good to stack? Seems as if the hem would be quite large and hard to stack with... looking at the pics, the jeans definetely look slim and tapered, but I don't understand how with a pretty regular hem opening

So should I go with a size 30 or 31? I want the slim tapered legs like my APC NS

A lot of people are complaining that the fit is really tight post-soak, but can't I just wear a sz 29 to make sure they don't get too tight?

Thanks all
