how much do acne max cash jeans stretch? or do they stretch at all? whats the general sizing advice on them? up? down?

They're 2% elastic but don't expect them to stretch much.... I'm true waist size 31, I have a pair of max cash tagged 30. They're pretty tight, but fit OK. And as a side note, I have no ass so i prefer a tighter waist so I don't have to use a belt.

I would say at most 1 inch stretch and that's if you want them tight.

i was wondering, are Number Nine darted raw denim nice jeans or a bit overrated ?

Denimz isn't raw, just "raw-like" wash...super nice fit tho. I don't like the newer ones with the darts on back of knees tho.

Also which chunky oxfords to kop to trash? Junya x Trickers? Don't wanna docs coz I want wingtips + sleeker sole.

This is probably better suited for SuperDenim, and I'll ask there also, but is there already a thread created which breaks down denim line divisions by vendor and countries of distribution? Like Lee vs Lee Australia, Wrangler 49, etc? I know not all lines are available in the US... Kind of a broad question, just looking for distribution info I guess.

Any suggestions for a thin soled black boot along the lines of these APC / Opening Ceremony boots?

I like both, maybe the APC shine + OC thinner sole, but just seeing what else is around. The OC ones are also around 100 euros cheaper at ~200, anything similar / similarly priced?

recently bought a pair of shoes, they were pretty tight to begin with, so i took them to a cobbler and had them stretched. they are still a bit tight on my toes, specifically the pinky toe of each foot. the length is pretty good though. i decided to order a 2nd pair in the next 1/2 size up. they are still a bit snug, but there's definitely more room for my toes in them. they are a bit longer however and my heel slips just a little bit when i walk.

i'm not sure if i should just try to ride it out with the smaller ones in hopes that they will stretch more, or get some heel slip inserts for the larger pair and not have to be so uncomfortable.

anyone know how to wax jeans with silicone? i'm want that "lustery" look. usually when i try to search for directions on waxing jeans i just get people giving saying to paint them black, but i want a visible layer of silicone wax, like these:

Someone on SuFu did this years ago with step by step instructions and pictures. Try searching through old threads in Superdenim.

edit: found it.

Anyone dealt with superette.co.nz or goodasgold.co.nz? How was the experience?

i had a nice experience with Goodasgold. Held my items for about a week while I cleared everything so Paypal would allow the transaction. they even wrote me a handwritten letter. Only problem was I didn't get a box with my shoes though I got the dust bag.
