What brand makes a low waist, bootcut selvedge for women and where can i buy them?

Selfedge has a pair of women's bootcut Sugarcane jeans...not sure if they're low waisted. Slings & Stones also make girl's jeans, and I'm sure if you sort through all of Skulls jeans, one of their women's pairs would be suitable.

[Pandemonium]

lindas are the best slim/skinny fit for girls available from skull.

slings and stones are really expensive, too many niche addons that noone ever notices... eg. 24 carat shit. nice cut though.

are nudies thin fin black black raw? do they fade?

[somatoform]

Just picked up a pair of used selvage levis from a market.

There's a stain that wouldn't come out with washing. The problem is I don't know what the stain is. Is there some sort of stain removal advice for removing stains generally when you have no idea what the stain is?

By the way, it looks almost like set toothpaste but not sure.

Bring it to a drycleaner...they can do amazing things.

cool thanks for the help so basically they are like normal raw jeans and they will form crease and honey combes after wear?

[joey_formal]

yes it will take longer to have fading though.

Well, I've heard of some people taking their jeans into the tailor and getting 1 or 2 inches off on the waist without altering the look too much. 1 inch would actually be perfect...

I"ve heard a lot of horror stories about doing this with denim. But I bet some other people have first hand experience they can relate...

[joey_formal]

^^ to be honest 1" -1.5" is the most I would ever suggest, past that you risk very odd bubble look in your ass, they just will not lay right at all. 1-1.5" though can be done and made to look very clean.

[DJI]

Which is slimmer, particularly at the leg opening, PBJ xx-005, Samurai 710xx or Skull 5010xx 6x6? The online stores seem to contradict each other...

[poly800rock]

blue in green has measurements for all three of those. compare with that site.

wondering....if you get a pair of raw 29 jeans but the actual (pre soak) measures 31. after soak it shrinks down to a 29...wouldnt you be able to strech it back out to a 31 with ease like what it was before the soak? if this is true....it would make it a lot easier to buy raw jeans, especially online.

[sylk]

does nudies stretch alot like how apc does?

if youre talking about shrink to fit jeans...your statement would make sense, but all jeans shrink different amounts and some stretch a little bit, and some stretch a lot...you just have to do your research.

[kbuzz]

If they are distressed, most likely the shrinkage is built into the garment. I say "most likely" because most distressed washes go through a full process to avoid variances - so I think you will be ok, especially if the shade of your jeans is lighter than rigid indigo blue... There may be cases of odd, anomolous partial washes i.e. unwashed with starch 3-d and sanding vs. resin or some other weirdness but should not be the case with LVC... There may be the normal slight shrinkage because wash/dry will tighten up the fibers as with any pair of jeans, but they should "stretch" back to where they should be after a little wear in time. Hope this makes you feel more comfortable about getting them.

Jjust started washing and working on my new 33's in a tagged 36 waist...What a great light weight denim!!!!

They are big big big.....definately at bit bigger in the wasit then standard STF tagged 36 or even my new eco 501 big E organics

LVC folks..i want to buy a new pair but the 36 are big....advise

I want a hard wash vintage but to go through japan would be a problem with returns....Options:

1) i buy a 34" hard washed and strech the crap out of the waist

2) Does the LVC raw stretch like say an apc. That means i could buy a raw 34 and strech it out...only if it would strech more then then the option 1 above.

3) stick with the 36 in the raw (with the label that says buy 2" larger in the waist) and continue to wash and dry HOT. And try this at least 10 times....this would be based on prior postings which say you need at least 5 cycles of wash dry to really shrink them.

Thanks for any advice...

They don't stretch as much as APC, but you can expect 1 or 2 good inches of stretching depending on hw you wear them and what type of denim they used.

[thomas_highstreet]

how much do cheap monday jeans stretch?

im looking at the stretch fabric aswell as the normal overdye denim..

i mean.. im a 29, should i order a 29 in the stetch? 29 in the standard?

could i get away with a 27/28 in the stretch? or even in the standard?

am i making any sense? im fucking tired.

cheers

[lightinaugust]

i went true to size in the stretch and mine came out how i wanted them to. if you're not sure the urban outfitters (gross) on oxford street always has a load of them in.

[egtnekisd]

What size H&M raw denim sliq's should I get if I want a semi tight X baggy fit? I'm a 30 in Krew slims (purposely sized up) and a 29 in Levi STF's (don't like how they fit though).

[enycezbigd]

i'm about to go out any buy some a.p.c's in soho, just wondering everybody is recommending me to buy some new standards and they were talking about i should buy the jeans 1 or 2 sizes smaller, can anyone confirm?

i wear 30w in seven jeans, so should i get a 29 or 28 in new standards??

much appreciated

[joey_formal]

yes 2 sizes down.

[enycezbigd]

another noob question,

is it suggested to start wearing my apc's right from the moment i get em, or should i soak them first?

any tips?

[rome1]

^^ size down 2 maybe even 3 if your thighs can swing it. and don't soak APC's you can wear them right out of the store, keeping the starch in them helps with the fading process. besides the stiffness goes away anyway.
