^ holy shit, nice!!

[naturaljax]

hot damn those are nice. I can't wait for mine to break in a little more.

I'm sad I have ostrich legs though , I'll miss out on all those great stacking fades.

great jeans.

anyone else think that the thighs were incredibly tight when you first put on the raws? and did they stretch? I just got my 28's in today and the thighs feel incredibly tight.

[ayn]

they def stretch, dont worry about it at all...

[naturaljax]

yeah, after I had worn them for a day and took them off my thighs felt strange 'cause they were on there so tight, but it gets better after awhile.

Yeah, the thighs stretch quickly. I panicked when I first tried mine on as I couldn't even pull them up properly, but they stretched out perfectly over a day or two.

so shit, i cant find any black dior brut 19cm's........

were they last season and they just dont make them anymore now?

[keyko]

^ I saw black 19cm Japanese in Hong Kong store last Friday. They are current season. About USD280.

[fade to black2]

as far as i know the raw denims in both black and blue are carried over each season...so it's just a matter of whether the stores buy 'em or not. The same goes for the waxed, although it seems those are much less frequently bought.

btw i saw a pic of David Beckham in the Strip bleu clair (non waxed) distressed jeans in people magazine...he was wearin em really baggy with an equally baggy waistcoat and unflattering, untucked shirt billowing underneath. Ehh...never figured Beckham to be a Dior guy so it was interesting, can't say he wears it too well though.

this is good news.

yet bittersweet, im nowhere near hong kong, someone have a link with them they can toss up? im already checked browns, lvr, and eluxury, no luck any of those places

[cersepn]

sphoxx, very very nice whiskering.

can i know what you did in your diors? the fading is quite unique.

[sphoxx]

^^ straight city walkin, partying, etc.. that's about it

How long did the fades take to appear?

[ayn]

I'm kindda afriad that my diors would rip, it's mighty thin at this particular area, what do you guys think?

[fade to black2]

should be fine...my pair is almost at the 2 year mark and has had that thing for a while, nothing you can really do about it. Dior jeans are weak at the crotch.

[poly800rock]

more pics of the evolution ayn...havent seen those in a bit

[ayn]

I plan to take some when it's exactly the 4 months mark.

slouchy jeans are all really bad for that.. my Julian Reds have it too.

Personally I'd patch it before it gets worse.

[BoardC3]

ya Ayn I would really love to see how they look, I just bought diors mainly based off of what I saw from your pictures in the past. And they are definitely my favorite jeans by the way (even beat out my pbj xx005s)

is it the slouch that is causing that? I always assumed it was due to them being tight, so there's more friction when you walk.

But i think the slouchyness causing the crotch to wear like that may make sense...my black painted blues are on the verge of bursting in the crotch and they're not that tight, more slouchy. i just can't understand the physics behind that.

the lower the crotch is, the more it gets pulled by your legs when you walk. Just think about going up stairs...

but you're correct. It's due to the tightness as well (Nudies get this all the time for that reason) but the slouch definitely exacerbates it.

[edmond]

let it stay that way ayn its really cool.. i like how it looks..

[lilbucu]

any one know if the seat is exactly the same b/t the japanese 21 and 19 cm models?

[Quiver]

After a month of wear, my 21cms stretched out everywhere and fitted poorly. I decided to give them a soak last night and to my utter surprise, the bathtub of water turned incredibly dark from the indigo loss. Comparing this to some of the images posted in this forum of new jeans being soaked (i.e. Samurai Contest jeans) I got a bit anxious.

Surprisingly, after they dried, the colour didnt fade much at all and the shrinkage was perfect. Now I'm just worried that soon they will stretch out like crap again... so my question is, should I send them to the tailor now or after they've stretched?

[startmeup]

^^this is a fit question that is universal for all denim. it is wiser to wait for the stretch, so you can judge it better.

[slick rick]

I'v been looking at a pair of 21cm DH Raws on LVR for ages but I can't work out what size to get.

Everyone seems to have a different idea of how they fit / how much they will stretch?

I wear a sz 32 in a raw Nudies, and pretty much every thing else.

What do you guys think? Does anybody have a pair they have worn in that they can measure?

[edmond]

get 31's on dh 21 cm raw's

[BoardC3]

size down 1 if they are japanese or 2 if they are italian

[evanism]
