[Gilangaditya]

Deadline deadline ..

[coleslawyum]

I'm curious to hear more about this mysterious "x" in the corner.

B_F ~ embrace the vintage baggy look! I usually size up and never worry about it. If I have to I stick the jeans in a dryer for an hour.

I hope this contest is as epic as the old school Warehouse one. I remember we even had Ryu as well as Mr. Denim Heavy Gallery guy join in. The fades were sick.

I think he's referring to closing the window on a computer. Overall, I think he's best ignored.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I know, I know. But strictly going by the prospective measurements, size 32 and 34 will fit me "historically" accurate through the legas the jeans don't differ that much. Both are regular straight on me. Only thing is if I have to stretch the waist a bit or if they will fall from my ass

I'm still curious how they measure the waist as it's not the same as BiG is it? I think this has already been discussed but is the general consensus that their method provides a larger measurement than the BiG equivalent? If so, by how much?

This is how Taichi measures

I compared the two methods and with Taichi's method I got max. 1cm more in the waist.

edit: BiG methods is used with closed button, so the fabric is also not considered

this is weird... he measures them unbuttoned? there is no relative point of measure!

If you look closely, the two red lines will be aligned when buttoned. So you'll get the same measurements.

Or am I missing something here?

@hog: read my edit. I did edit my post after your new post I think. BiG measure with closed button so the fabric is also not included

@ranon: well if you go by the red lines in my picture you will see that he has to exact points between which he measures. Try it out, it works.

[ranonranonarat]

this is tough, i think im gonna wait for the size chart and then take a shot.

either need to lose some serious weight or eat more pies. doesnt sound like too much of a problem!

I'm hitting the "x" button. You guys are stressing me out.

They will not be aligned. Once the fly is buttoned up the red line on the right "Here' will be to the left of the red line on the left 'There' by about 1cm. Hence b_F's explanation/calculation.

[Somar]

Thanks m_F , I missed that part

I guess that isn't an option as we are all in the same boat/contest

[Mr-Bielby]

Very nice Taichi-San, i'm even spotting a 2nd red tab there

Sorry for the negative rep. Fucking iPhone and fat fingers.

[Mich]

^^ i know the problem, no worries.

The way Taichi measures the waist makes a bit of a difference opposed to the way we are used to measuring, it does make the waist appear slightly bigger i guess, so subtract 1 cm and you'll get your usual waist size.

I'll wait for the final measurements of the actual Green Stamp D00XX before deciding, but if i go by the current measurements i don't think it'll be a good idea to size down.

^Sample jeans should be ready soon (i'll see if Taichi has a specific date); I'll also ask him to do the measurements BiG style as well so we won't have to worry if we're doing it right!

[denimproject]

The trial will be finish soon...

[Max Power]

^those arcs

[aho]

by the way, Taichi-san didn't mention it above, but he will be providing BiG style waist measurements when theyre available...

and yes, those arcs!

[ah_long]

for hemming services, would we be able to request a post soak inseam measurement rather than trying to guess how much the jeans are going to shrink?

[drapygo]

Yup, there will be RAW measurements.

[PeterParker]

I think for anyone shooting for a finished inseam of 30 to 34 inches, which should accommodate anyone who is of normal stature, an additional 2 inches pre-soak is a good rule of thumb (+/- half an inch).

We're talking unsanforized denim that isn't slack woven, so anything beyond 5 to 7% shrinkage is unlikely.

At least, I'm pretty confident that a 32" inseam will get me around my desired 30" inseam. If I was really concerned about them being too short, I'd go 32.5". I definitely don't want to have to do a second hem and lose the roping from the initial soak, or use a 1" bitch cuff to tidy the slack length.

[Maynard Friedman]

^ Cell bitch cuff?

[PeterParker]

I like to keep my cell bitch status discrete. I'm certainly not one to wear jeans with a cell bitch fly.

[demonator]

pls size up they are a bit undersized.
