there is only little info on these in the naked and famous thread but it's really different stuff and deserving of it's own thread

- 17oz heavy and slubby unsanforized selvedge denim with a beige ear

- Irregular warp size and is woven at a dangerously low tension in order to achieve the beautiful and old-school texture and appearance.

- Flannel lined rear pockets and flannel pocket bags.

- Copper hidden rivets.

- Concealed selvedge coin pocket.

- Union Special 43200G bulldog chain-stitched hems.

- 10oz thick natural veggie tanned saddle leather patch.

[BrokenGlass]

they come in 2 fits at the moment

1)

Heritage

- Similar to a 1947 Levis 501. A basic classic Americana fit.

2)

Slim

- Slim leg tapered modern fit.

These are slim, size 29. I'm 5'8" and 135lbs

First day post warm soak.

[aho]

don't want to take anything away from this thread, but hot damn I hope no one sizes like that, that looks unbearably tight no matter how much they stretch...

[BrokenGlass]

nah man they are comfortable right now, the nex tot top buttonhole is tight as hell and won't button. I'm worried they'll be too loose in 2 weeks

[shoreman]

They do look tight, but if you're happy with the fit, that's all that matters. Again, though, inseam length leaves a lot to be desired by NF & Paul Rose.

[gnu]

These will barely stretch. After 3 months of wear (and a hot soak) mine have stretched about a half a size.

[BrokenGlass]

Ya if the inseam were much shorter I'd be in trouble. they were probably 2" longer before the hot soak though. I'll measure them tonight after they're off...really though they are borderline loose in the waist

[smittybat]

What's the point of the 1/8" cuff?

[BrokenGlass]

I like it, what's the point of living in atlanta?

[sehns]

I'll take some fit pics of these later. In the mean time, here's just some pics of them. They're size 29 slim cut, 1 cold soak & 1 warm soak, bought and worn like half of the time since the day they came out. I worked in them for a few weeks, got laid off, and the rest of that time has been couchfades.

I think brokenglass's fit is better than mine. I'm a bit thinner so basically I sized a bit looser, and even though the fit on mine looks very nice in the leg, I get a bit of hip flare, probably as a combination of the looser upper block fit, the very thick pockets, and just the weight of the denim over all.

But yeah anyway about the denim, it's very soft for a 17oz denim especially after a soak, and it has a very hairy texture. With only a little bit of wear the slubbiness and the irregularities really show through on the outside. The dye is a very rich blue color, not one of those near-black indigos you see a lot lately, but it's still a very deep dye and it's capable of a ton of contrast. Oh yeah and the leg twist is insane, these pics don't do it justice but when I wear them the selvedge is literally turned around to the front of my leg.

Question though...if you hadn't seen that weird fly with its top button unbuttoned like that, would you have have said that based solely on the leg fit? For me, when I see the way it wrinkles above the knee it doesn't look like the fabric is stretched tight and it looks fine to me. But that fly is damn strange though. Perhaps brokenglass, you are not truly a 29? From the waist down, it appears ok.

[shinobi2000]

oops forgot to mention about the denim: looks pretty but if I hear anything about "dangerously low tension" one more time...

[sehns]

I'm glad I'm not the only one

Whoa I just noticed that with the button fly. His fit is very good in the legs but that definitely looks too tight. I know someone said they don't stretch a lot, but my pair has stretched a lot in places, and my fit is pretty loose. If those pictures were taken right after that soak, I could see them stretching enough to button but I still don't think they look very comfortable. Who knows though, we're all just going off pictures until he replies.

[aho]

^really to each their own....the leg isn't that bad because he's a slimmer guy, but i still think the actual waistband itself looks like its about to snap his body in half regardless of the top button undone. the low rise, the tightness of the thighs, the whole plastered on look just isn't my thing anymore...but i'm a traditionalist so no suprise there! whatever makes one happy i say go for it...

[grooveholmes]

the fit looks ok. i'd like to see how they turn out once they stretch out a bit. i do like the patch design and the contrast stitching. Denim looks interesting enough.

[sehns]

My pictures really don't do it justice too, if I can find someone with a better camera than my phone I'll try to get some nice close shots.

[BrokenGlass]

I have a chicken legs and a small waist . My petite standards are a 26 though a 27 would be closer to ideal. The next to top button wouldn't button because the hole was small. I've since worked it and it's fine. Plenty of room in the waist and the fabric is pinchable at the upper leg. I'll post some 30 day pics when the time comes with progress.

inseem on these is 32" post soak.

the denim is pretty nice on these, comparable to my samurai's SO500xx and I really dig the beige selvedge and the tobacco & red/orange stitch on the back pocket

[madstaxbro]

They look really cool but they're a bit pricy, hard to convince myself that I should get those instead of say some Studio D's or LVCs.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the fly area is just to small for all the buttons. it looks crowded. 0,5-1" more in the front rise/button fly and it would look better

[BrownMetallic]

^that's it! Tilmann hit it right on the nail.

the fly buttons are spaced too close to each other ... like on women's jeans .

with such a lowrise, 2 fly buttons should suffice..

[grooveholmes]

Is that specific to the slim cut? The heritage fit looks alright. Especially if they say it's modeled after a 47.

The heritage cut has 4 button fly and a much higher rise...

where are the measurements on those post soak? and original size?

[fuckcity]

sorry missed that they are a 29

[squintzz]

there should honestly be a rule against re-quoting a bunch of pictures, especially just to ask a question about the sizing

[jorgen83]

I saw these hanging at TdN in Amsterdam and these had really nice denim. Does anybody have fade pics yet?

Hey Brokenglass, So I am new to this forum... well forums in general and new to unsanforized denim And i have a few questions which you have probably been asked before so bear with me . Just bought a pair of Paulrose 17oz slim went a size up would you recomend a soak before wear if so how would I go about it? most of my jeans are n&f sanforized and as i stated before these are my first true untreated pair any help would be appreciated. Im normaly a size 33 tag but i sized up to a 34 tag. I'm 5'9 and 178 pounds. My original plan was to wear the crap out of them them soak while wearing and let them air dry to my body on a breezy summer day lol. But I have read many threads which disagree saying that all my hard work will be misplaced due to the shrinkage.

any help much appreciated please and thanks

[garden gnomes in space]

soak first. how to do it? I dont compute the confusion. Put in water, let sit in water, remove from water, hang dry , wear.
