Dior Homme Denim (FAQ ON FIRST PAGE - read me)

[Guest ifidieidie]

I just bought that cumstain, er....pair of silver waxed jeans, and I think they look really good in person; much better than in the photo. They've actually become one of my favorite DH jeans.

I won't be buying either of the embroidered pocket jeans, though.

[freecat]

Oh. Sorry. By advancing those arguments, do you have pictures so that I can confirm it too ?

[Spastic_Koala]

I think I vomited in my mouth a little.

The Dior Homme look has changed for the worst, i think. Talking about the jeans, they have become very generic. The embroidery on those pockets looks like something 7 would have done. I have been reading that Van Ashe wanted to have an elegant and dramatic approach to the new path of Dior Homme, and i am not really seeing it in these pieces, being as flashy and repugnant as they are. The androgyny (i probably mispelled that) is gone, the monochrome approach is not visible, but the new concept is nothing innovative.

KVA's dior homme = new Dsquared

I'm sure that LVMH management wanted to compromise between a fresh look and maintaining the existing brand image.

The jeans, t-shirts, and shoes--which are probably the primary money makers--are all more or less similar. The jeans silhouette is unchanged, and the trainers are basically the same except made with some weird metallic mesh trim.

KVA tried to move beyond the Hedi years and introduce a new silhouette and the elegant/dramatic look in his more formal pieces.

One prominent piece is the high-waisted, cummerbund, M.C. Hammer tuxedo pants that are shown with a very narrow collared tuxedo shirt and/or ultra short jacket. Many of those pieces were shown in a black on black color scheme, with some white shirts mixed in.

I think he was going for a kind of Bella Lugosi-era, refined Count Dracula look....or something. :confused:

[JonathanFrom508]

its basically a shitty refined version of his own brand

edit: the stuff he has changed anyway

[beberthur]

The silver waxed ones look pretty good when worn (especially in the sun).

Yet, if those embroided jeans are ugly, the rest of the denim is nice (the Sheer ones, for example. Or the silver coated Radioactive ones). And again, the Slimane era saw some damn commercial/bad products, where the comparison with dsquared is quite spot on.

It is clear that Dior is changing. But the whole fashion is changing. If you want to dress with the same style all your life, go to APC.

anyone with the sharp notation jeans? i have a 32 thats stretched to about a 34 now. any way to get them back to a 32 without losing the sheen? or will the coating not dull during wash? washing tips please, thanks!

[midnight]

DO NOT WASH THEM IN A WASHIN MACHINE! The heat can melt off the coating. Not a good idea. I dont think they are gonna shrink that much any way you wash them. Try a lukewarm soak. Maybe it will shrink them some. Good luck!

[peetaw]

How long did it take to stretch from 32-34? I have a 29, waiting for it to stretch to 30 lol.

[Visage Fou]

here are my MII 21cm in a size 28.

I just snatched the MIJ 21 ...and I'm hoping for this kind of fit...gorgeous and affordless...

AMAZING jeans. i really wanna know how i can get a pair??:confused:

[MindxMatters]

lol - have you not read any of this thread at all?

[Visage Fou]

no not at all. its huge. im just asking a simple question. sorry bro im new here.

[MindxMatters]

Fair enough. You can pick these up at any Dior homme boutique - and there are a few proxies who deal with Dior a lot, Thegrapist being pretty much the forums Dior go-to guy. Or you can check supermarket there are usually a few pairs up for sale... or you can get them from http://www.luisaviaroma.com and a couple other websites... I'm sure there is a lot more information regarding aquiring a pair of these jeans on the forums, particularly this thread, but that's all i can think of personally off the top of my head

[Visage Fou]

Thanks alot man i really appreciate it.

[Kev07]

Joining Dior crew..

Indigo 19cm MIJs w32

I'm 5'10ish, 158 lbs

Thinking about sizing down to a 31, but I dont have the receipt, what do you guys think?

[MindxMatters]

Prob could've sized down one - they look a bit big in the waist

[Kev07]

Do you know anywhere in socal or the bay area, ca that may let me size down without a receipt? I still have tags

If you were able to go up to dior they might let you. I had a pair of pants that didnt fit and i had the tags but no receipt and they took them no problem. Theyll be more likely to take them if they are spring summer 08, too.

[Guest ifidieidie]

Any more comments on the fit of the new Under my Cars? Does it really fit that loose or just like any other pre-distressed MII jeans?

The fit is not that loose; the 31 UMC was identical in fit to my 31 Soft Inference from last season.

For complete measurements, go look on Diabro and compare with other DH jeans. Simple.

You could try 5th floor of Saks or Neimans in SF. I'm not sure if they have that model, but they usually cary the basic styles.

really? That's weird considering the soft interference are made in japan making them like an 18cm model. The under my cars are made in Italy. Weird. Btw diabro can be really off with measurements...

[Guest ifidieidie]

Yeah, I wasn't thinking about the hem. The hem might be a bit wider on the UMC compared to the Soft Inference.

I'd also say the 31 UMC I tried fits in between 31 and 32 Sharp Notation. My 31 Sharp Notations are a little tight in the waist (should stretch if I wear them more) and the 31 UMC fits perfectly in the waist, but still smaller than 32 Sharp Notation which were loose on me. So maybe half a size bigger than Sharp Notations.

[TimWatley]

That sounds good. I tried on a Soft Inference in size 28 and the fit was perfect. So I will stick to my size for the UMC.

Since they are MII they will not be tapered like the Soft Inference but that is fine for me. I like a bit more room around the calfs...

[midnight]

Happy to hear that about the UMCs. Raw diors are great, but the washes are even better. If anybody gets a pair please post some pics!!

Thanks! I'll try calling arounbd a few places first

Diors on Melrose is a no go

[Bing Bing]

Anyone own these? How do they look in person?

I think the wash itself is pretty cool. Looks like something between the Jakes, the Dust Wash (one of my favourite washes ever!) and Orange Overdyes...

The only thing that annoys me a bit is the big stain below the left front pocket...

Well, I think I will grab me a pair anyway...

They are also on Diabo:

[beberthur]

They look good! I've tried them on once, the mud stain isn't even noticeable when worn.
