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

[grouse_allergy]

Considering you want something tapered... probably the NC. Maybe the PS, I don't know much about it myself, though. I personally like the NS's just because my calves are pretty developed, but judging from your pics you'd probably look good in the NC.

I recommended APCs mostly because you're in Boston (as well as them being more affordable), and Boston doesn't have many Japanese brands. However, if you're getting them online, you should definitely check out stuff besides APC.

[Cherchez la Femme]

so if I'm looking into online options what other brands do you think I could do?

[zzzboy]

how much does damage reduce the value of your jeans? i have a few rice krispy sized marks on my right thigh and some damage threads on the coin pocket of my SEXI04s.

i was wondering since i was considering trading or selling them possibly for a looser fitting jeans.

You should look at Blue in Green's and Self Edge's sites. As well as browse around this forum more. Check out the 'evolution' and 'how do jeans fit' threads. I would give you more recommendations, but I really haven't had a whole lot of experience with many different brands myself. So far, I've only worn apc ns's and rescues, nom de guerre non-selvage grays and pbj xx-005bk's. Really, you should just browse this forum more.

anyone know where i can cop some APC ns for cheap.

[baldy]

does anybody know where i can get my jeans tapered in nyc?

keep a eye oout on the supermarket... usually a few pop in quite often. some are new, some are old.. but usually under 100 usd.

does anybody know where i can get my jeans tapered in nyc?

just go to any tailoring shop and if they are even tailors they can taper no problem.

anyways my question: what is the attraction to guido club wear (true religions and like rock&republic jeans)??

i tried swaying my friend away but i got nowhere... what is the "cool" factor about them?

[HOLY]

does any body has experience with 10 deep raw denim?

[Osmosis Jones]

What's the first thing I should do once I get new flatheads? Soak? and how?

[mr.invincible]

i was thinking of selling my FH3001, after 3 months of wear the fit doesn't really suit me. I thought it would stretch a little bigger but it didn't. I wished I ordered 2 sizes up cause it just reveals too much when sitting down.

so im thinking about selling it and my nudies average joes for something along the lines of Sugar canes okinawas but give a little more silhouette. Im keeping my Sugar Cane okinawas, i love those a lot.

what's a good straight jean? a little slim, but not too slim.

[z_ace]

perhaps you should go and try the "DryBones Red-D" or the "Skull 50-10xx"

they both are slimmer than the okinawas

then again i don't know much about samurai and stuff, so you might just wait for another reply and perhaps check out those two meanwhile

[fallen angels]

i would also recommend you check out some Skull 5010 6x6. thats been one of my favorite cuts for a while. if you go with your true waist size, it should be slim but not too skinny/tight.

other choices... eternal 811, sda sd-103, pbj xx-005, some samurai's

you can check out the measurements for all of these on BIG's website

sda 103's are slim but not too slim.

[mr.invincible]

Yea, i am looking at some SDA 103 right now, they look really really good IMO. true to size or size up one? how do they stretch ? :X

The reason why I like my Okinawas is because its rugged and has a lot of warped threads. Although it's not the selling point, the fit just suits me really well. I wear a size 28 in these, size down one, I'm like a 29-30. I wear a 29 for both FH3001 and Nudies Average Joes. Every time I wear the FH, my friends would ask me," aren't those kinds kinda tight?" And I look down and you can almost see my curvatuve of my package.

As of now, I am looking at the following companies:

1.Onis - blue fit w/ tabs and arcs (hopefully, if i can find these in a size 28, im jumping on this)

2. Studio D'artisan SD101 and SD103 - I am trying to find a thread to look for sizing for both.

3. Eternal 811 - don't know how to size.

4. Skulls 5010 x66 - Don't know how to size, but SDA's quality seems more better than skulls, although they fade faster, correct?

5. Samurais- still looking, but interested. the 5000vx, 710?,

6. Sugar Cane 1947s.

[chantheman]

ive got the onis 103s 811s had some 5000s and had some okinawas.

i would say that the onis are the closest fit to the okinawas. then the 103 then 5000 and 811 are almost equal.

went true to size on the 103 down 1 on the oni one up on the 811 down 1 on the 5000 one up on the okinawas (should have went true to size on those)

hope this helps

[mr.invincible]

AH FO SHO chantheman. If i ever sell my shit and get some money, id definitely buy your ONIS. although i wish they were size 28s..

[b00th]

Alright, about 4 months ago i purchased some s5000's. Now the problem is, is that i sized up because they didn't have my regular size or anything smaller. Is it possible to have a professional alter the jeans? I'm talking about the whole jean basically, front and back rise, waist, inseams, etc...? Can it be done or should i just sell mine and get a different pair?

I see they are MII. anyone know if they are 21cm? Also what is with the sizing? How does that translate to US sizes?

Sell and get a new pair.

You could probably get it altered, but it's not worth the risk; especially if it's a major alteration like u suggest.

[anhtice]

I want a nice belt but i dont wanna pay $100+ for one.. any suggestions? thanks

[Osmosis Jones]

Thrift Store.

I got a regular black belt with a simple silver buckel for 10 dollars. It was brand new, hasn't broken yet, and doesn't look ostentatious.

[anhtice]

also ive always been interested in visvim. there has to be a reason why theyre priced so high, what is it? its not just brand name but something about it. a friend told me it was like sex on your feet! and where could i go to buy some without looking at supermarket? there was a Union suggestionon hypebeast but no url posted, can anyone link? ty sry its not really a denim question but it is a small question!

Those are definitely 21 cm. It's Euro sizing so it's in centimeters, measuring the waist laid flat with the button closed. Smallest is a 44 so you can figure it out from there.

[ninjaXcore]

has anyone ever ironed their raw denim? is this even possible/safe? like if you buy a pair that has been worn a bit by the previous owner, but you iron them to get rid of their creases? stupid question.

[AK47AZ]

What is the best Samurai model for an older person with 34 waist that wants a nice normal fit for an older person, not slim cut or boot cut. Asking for someone from work who is intrigued by raw denimz and who normally wears armani jeans circa 2000 and 7's (i.e. no clue)... I was going to recommend the S510XXAI-N or the S5000AI-10SP , both of which will make me jealous because that would mean he has better sams than me, but I enjoy helping people dress better.

If there is a different cut/brand you recommend that is cool too

[coleslawyum]

^^^I've washed and ironed my raw jeans to get rid of the starch. If it was worn by someone else, I would definitely wash them first.

AK, any regular fit straight leg will do. Almost every company makes a version.

But I think a 66 fit looks the best though, if you want that vintage fit.

[thatoldsoul]

edit - wrong thread

[Dboon]

Has anyone purchased a Sugar Cane denim jacket (i.e. the ones from Earth Market)....if so, how is the shrinkage?

[Venus in Furs]

What brand makes the best pair of black skinny jeans for women that doesn't stretch or fade too much?
