How do edwin ed-47s fit?

[lamscott]

I'm thinking about getting a rainbow selvedge pair.

Do they run small or big or actual size in the waist?

Are the legs slim or narrow or loose?

Do they fit like the nudie regular ralfs?

[swooc]

Come to think of it, i don't think i've ever seen anyone wearing them....only see pictures of them layed out on the floor.

For the fit, my guess would be a 501 47 fit with low rise? So something in between baggy and slim.

[Kasper]

depending on how your wear the jeans, the fit will be from normal to a little loose. Edwin in general at cut fairly loose. i don't own RR so i can't really compare, but i guess the fit would somewhat similar, albeit with a higher rise and straight leg.

I don't have the ED-47's but of the 3 pairs of Edwins I own (503 Bluetrip, 503RV, 505ZX), all have a fairly low rise and are a normal (some might consider them loose) fit.

[lamscott]

nobody has a pair of these?

[swooc]

Actually i think there was one guy who posted a pic of him wearing his in either the WAYWT, the denim evolution, or the post picture of fit thread. I'm too lazy to help you look at the moment though . But if i remember correctly, they do look quite baggy and no where near the regular ralf fit.

I think ed-47 are the one exception of Edwins that run big ..

Ive seen pairs that were washed a lot on ebay that were like 36 label but 37 actual after washing so prolly quite big in raw form

[Kamikaze]

I have a pair. They pretty huge. I might have to soak them.

True to size at the waist.

Loose through out.

Not like RRs.

I can take pictures of the fit if you like before i soak em.

[sneakeraddict]

i have never heard anyone who owns this style say they like them...

(i could be wrong though)

they fit loosely, and low rise

[jubei]

My ED-47s fit very very slim... you guys might be mixed up with the ed69 which is a more relaxed leg. On top of that they have a pretty low rise ( almost TOO low) However, they stretch pretty nicely to a comfortable fit. They also have a slight flare to the leg, so it's a pretty subtle bootcut.

To summarize: Slim, low rise, bootcut.

I need to post up pics of me wearing them because I've seen this topic a few times now...

Hello

if you thinking of buying Edwins any where in the EU, buy them now......

there are big changes in store for the production

Neil

[sneakeraddict]

hopefully they are not axeing Nashville and Greenville though?

not really bothered about Ed-series anyway, cos its made in Europe and didnt like those anyway, so I think you're referring to those?

Changes? what sort?

[Kamikaze]

Here's some quick snaps of my ed-47s. i will try to get some better pictures as these are terrible. I need them hemmed which is probably why I think they are so big.

and with my shoes.

Sorry about my bed frame. I just moved in

[lamscott]

What size are you wearing?

[Kamikaze]

30x34 i believe.

[toufu]

damn...i want those tiffany's....

and those rainbows....

i envy you lol

jubei...is it really that light or is it the lighting? cuzz damn....

[lamscott]

they look good!

[tnf1029]

lamscott, if you live in nyc go to Atrium soho i believe they have those shit. It would be much better if you have a chance to try those on

[jubei]

Both, sorta. My ED-47s were the non-selvage greycast version, so they faded out really fast AND my camera has a really strong flash so they're slightly darker in person.

Overall, I think the ED-47 is a good "starter" for raw denim, but I've since moved onto the more hardcore Japanese repros. Once you get your hands on one of the Japanese repros, you realize how much you've been missing out on your whole life

[mickawes]

Ive got edwins. I also have some pics in the WAYWT thread, just do a search for mickawes in the name section and edwin in the subject section.

They are definately not slim, but not completely baggy either. Id say regular straight cut. Low rise. They fit really nice, especially if you wear baggier clothes. I highly recommend them.

As for sizing, I wear size 31 nudies and size 30 samurai and got a size 30 in the edwins. Now its stretched out some, but is comfortable. Also, the legs are pretty long. My size 32 leg is more like 34.

[Kamikaze]

Better pictures comming sooonnnnn...

Okay. These look alot better when rolled up. I will need to hem these asap.

[toufu]

damn...those look great man...lol the selvage matches your shoes too XD

Ugh happy holiday fucks

[tnf1029]

i love that angular ass

Apologies for opening this possibly dead topic.

Thinking of getting some Edwin ED-32' s raw rainbows. They say they're a 'loose' cut but they seem slimmer than ED47's- expecially in the hem.

Tried on a 30 x 32 which look pretty good, problem is they feel a bit restricting across the thighs when I sit and open my legs. 'Close your legs and stop being a tart' I hear you all say... but I ride motorbike to get in and out of town so spend alot of time with my legs open. Yeah- not a nice picture, I know!!!.

Could size up, but then the waist would be too big and also- the shop that I tried them on doesn't have 1 size bigger AND I have £100 worth of vouchers at that store which pretty much covers the cost of the jeans.

Anyway- cutting to the questions, do they A) shrink at all during a warm/hot soak and if so- do they stretch back

or if they don't shrink during a soak, is there a lot of give in the denim?

Cheers lads!

[jubei]

they shrink a bit after the first wash, but they stretch quite a bit (much like nudies, I'd imagine. never owned a pair of regular nudies so I couldn't say for sure). plus, the only significant shrinkage is going to be more in the inseam rather than the waist.

if you could manage to size down one, I'd recommend doing that rather than relying on a wash to shrink them. I've worn mine pretty hard and while they do srhink after washes, they stretch right back out after like 5 wears.

[Mr Black]

Thanks.

Can they stretch/relax beyond their raw state? i.e in the thighs?
