Denime

I just ordered the 220a xx offset in 33x30 from Bears.

Never tried STF before so excited and nervous in equal measures. I hope they don't shrink beyond 30inches...

Maybe I should have played it safe and got 32 lenght but hemming is a real pain (no chain stitching near me so need to post them out) and I really prefer a no cuff or very thin cuff.

I've asked Bears to confirm measurements so hopefully that should help. They're always super helpful

I think you'll be happy with the 33, mate!

@JohnnyD great pair as well, just like in the other threads 😉

@PrettyBoyTony you'll be sound I'm sure! Exciting, such a great pair for your first raw jeans!

Just joined the Denime thanks to @beautiful_FrEaK who happen to sell exact my size! Been eyeing Denime for years and happy to finally have a pair. 

Haven't decided yet if I should do a hot soak or just go for a 30degree wash low cycle. The denim is really nice and looking forward to see how they develop over time. 

It's Denime 221 with denim from Kurabo Mill

I'm happy they arrived at a good home!

220AXX have just arrived from Bears. The preshrink photos are looking promising. Currently in the wash so will post an update once dry which at this current temperature will be in a couple of weeks 🙃

Is Denime denim susceptible to the "veiny" fades, or is that just the washing technique?

You can see it across a fair smattering of pairs so I think it’s safe to assume it’s the denim rather than a washing technique.

I would say that the fabric Warehouse produce now is V V susceptible to the veiny fades (I can't comment on historic fabric), but I have also noticed it promimently in my Buzz Rickson chambray shirt, I guess it's the diagonal pull you get from washing and the warp x weft working against each other (or some such scientific thing).

One for my hem roping nerds out there! Hems on the 220XX-47.

Happy with the shrinkage. They are very stiff at the moment so look a bit weird but I believe they soften up quickly from what I've read here.

I washed at 40 low spin but think I should get some more shrinkage in leg next wash. Waist is perfect.

These feel like cardboard right now compared to my fullcounts

[reallypeacedoff]

Looks ace @PrettyBoyTony! Will soften up quick, easy to stretch out for a 15.7oz denim too.

[Alec Leamas]

Agreed, looks like a good fit, and yes once they soften up they'll feel a lot better I'm sure!
