SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)

[Spare Ribs]

So my friends and I were going to have a raw denim contest amongst us with Uniqlo raw denim but we called them today to order. They happened to be out of all of their raw denim. So I was wondering if we could find a pair around the same price. All 8 of us want to spend around 100 dollars..Anyone know of a good alternative?

[Hendodo]

^^ LOL, some of my friends wanted to do that too, but Uniqlo was sold out in the USA.. anyways, you could try the brand Cheap Monday or Unbranded. They're both about $75..

[fashunhor]

Hey guys. Sorry if this has been covered but I couldn't find much about this. Can anyone speak to the quality of Dunderdon work pants i.e. the p13?

How's my fit on the 1980s? The legs fit great but I'm really worried about the seat. The pockets are pretty much on my thigh.

looks good****

Wondering if anyone knew:

Historically speaking, how much did a pair of jeans cost back in the 1940's/50's/60's? Gauging from inflation, maybe the ~$200 price tag on some jeans isn't so bad?

Around 1939 or 1940, a pair was around $1.90.

Rule of thumb for inflation is to double every decade, hence we get $240. Almost exactly the price of LVC.

Apply the same formula to old Fenders and you get around $2000 too, so again they aren't bad value in comparison. We're just more used to stuff being cheap.

^^really?? i was under the impression inflation started in the 70's or so..

So i'm looking for a new pair of raw denim - My first was levi 501 stfs and i now have apc new standards. I'm getting bored of the skinny fit and want something that's gonna last me longer!

my APC fit -

I find from the side they just look way to skinny for my liking and I would like a fit something along the lines of this (these are just cheap from topman)

Any recommendations on a pair of jeans that will last longer than my apcs, but will still fade fell and fit similar (maybe even slightly baggier) to the above? I was considering levi 501 1947s?

Thanks sufu

[Satya]

501 '47s will do, or sugarcane 47 would b great...

[beatle]

mhh...the 47 cut will be really baggy on you....I would check out FH bsps or IH 301

[Satya]

^^

I think 301s or bsp will fit just the same as his NS, IMHO...

[chambo2008]

yea he wants baggy

[superock]

Though I'm sure this has been asked a billion times already but this thread is too long to sift through I'll ask anyway

I'm a size 30 in Slim Jims, what should I get in APC size and fit wise? I'm thinking New Standards in size 28. Does that sound about right to you guys?

[Hendodo]

mhh...the 47 cut will be really baggy on you....I would check out FH bsps or IH 301

what about the SC 1966?

[matt0]

I'm not looking for baggy, more a straight fit that's not too tapered and looks quite 'relaxed'. How should I size on levi 1947s or SC 1947s?

[Satya]

^^

why don't you just try eternal 811 or SDA 103? just go true to size on them..

[sentakuki]

i'm having a hard time finding plain jeans. i want slim (not skinny though) blue jeans with inconspicuous stitching. like raw indigo dior 21cm but with blue seams. also suggestions for black denim (not raw black) are appreciated. could anyone please help me out? thanks in advance!

aneeeeone?

[Mr HaGa]

^So you want non-contrast stitching? Like the Black Knights? I can't really think of too many indigo ones... Seem to remember Nudie has some, and N&F?

And Satya, change your fucking avatar!

[Satya]

^^

sorry Mr Haga, am new here and didn't know that there's someone out there already use this kind of avatar... am coming in peace...

[sentakuki]

thanks a lot! i'll try these. any suggestions for black or greyish denim?

So I've got some unwanted vertical creases beside the inseam from folding my jeans. Lately I've been avoiding folding, and I was hoping it'd go away on its own from just that (and wear), but they're being quite stubborn.

Should I keep ignoring it and hopefully the crease will diminish, or maybe I could iron along the crease?

My only worry, if ironing is suitable, is what to do about the crease near (and on/around) the honeycombs.. I don't want to iron those out.

[ah_long]

aneeeeone?

PBJ007 comes to mind

just ignore it

[EndOfNovember]

just ignore it

Will do.. I was figuring they wouldn't fade or anything since the crease doesn't get any real action unless they're laid flat, it's just been bothering me how long they're lasting.

Thanks

[Satya]

^^

they wouldn't fade, the first time I get my PBJ, it got straight line besides the inseam because they folded, by the time it's get worn, it will gone, trust me...

[chambo2008]

stupid question but does anyone have any experence with 45rpm does it stretch in the waist like skull,samuai or any other japan denim?

[iamstarwars]

Yes, their denim stretches. It is usually recommended to size down one.
