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

[chantheman]

Need a recommendation on a good white denim. I tried on the white sorahikos last year and liked them a lot, slimmed down a good bit from the regular sorahiko if I remember correctly, but there must be a cheaper pair with a more modern fit?

someone was selling a pair of white skulls in the market

[Mr HaGa]

I was about to suggest the Sorahikos but...

I think Nom de Guerre make/made a pair of white (or maybe ecru) jeans that looked really good.

Are you talking about these? Those are nice, even though not a true white...

Pricey and backpockets are pretty big.

Was? Or is? And you remember the size? I've thought about skulls, maybe I'll go browse rakuten a little. I remember 2 or 3 years ago BiG had some and I almost bought them then...

EDIT only skulls that come in white are the 5010 and are too slim for me... I think I'll get the 45rpm, or maybe see if I can just make some levi's work?

[chambo2008]

the skulls in the market were a 29

Yeah, I think it was those. Pricey, but I found a pair of the light greys for sale for 80 euros in Paris last summer. I should have bought them.

Their jeans pop up on ebay once in a while for cheap.

Which would be a more looser fit than skull 5010xx

s710x or s0610lx?

also between the two which has less of a taper

[beautiful_FrEaK]

s710xx would be looser. not completely sure about the taper right now

[gonegonegone]

on the s710xx you will rarely notice the taper.

[ranonranonarat]

does anyone have any experience with PBJ's XX-011 and how different it would fade considering that its LHT denim? do LHTs fade more streakily? I've read somewhere that LHTs are less durable, how true is that?

[Opie]

If i like these, can i be considered legally insane?

Furthermore, can someone point to a pair of raw jeans without the classic jeans pockets so i can make my own and not pay 280$ this skimpy piece of Opening Ceremony denim?

Edit: Talking about the shorts ofc.

[aaronxxx]

can raw jeans stretch out to be BIGGER than their raw measurements?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

yes (10char)

[Heat_Seek3r]

on the s710xx you will rarely notice the taper.

Well both are a more looser fit than the Skull 5010xx right?

I most likely have to choose the s0610lx because there cheaper and they are texas cotton =]

but worried it might be to similar fit wise to my skulls

but guessing not??

[rome1]

^^ They're going to fit different than your 5010's the rise on the 610 is really LOW, which is what put me off of them. the rise on the 710's is more traditional and sits higher = a little more room.

[Heat_Seek3r]

rome,

would a natural sag balance it out? I really need to check out rise fit pics.....

[rome1]

yea that how I wear um at least... 610's fit WAY too much like really low rise jeans and I couldn't stand it. no fit pics for ya though, check the Sam thread I'm sure theres some in there.

[chantheman]

s710x or s0610lx?

also between the two which has less of a taper

i thought the 610 is looser with a lower rise...maybe im wrong

im gonna post this here instead of the overrun wasteland that is the apc denim thread, cause i want someone to answer who actually knows their stuff:

how does one size the washed apc jeans? specifically, if i have a pair of size 30 raw petite standards that fit immaculately after stretching, what size do I get in a washed pair

[liangmian]

Last year I sprang for a pair of Samurai 24ozs with arcs and tabs; I sized true to waist but they were -huge- even after I washed them, especially in the seat and thighs. Loved the denim and style though.

If I sized pre-wash down one from true waist (i.e. I'm a 32 waist, I'd get a 31) and then soaked with the jeans on me, would the waist still stretch out to a comfortable fit?

[A.D.B.]

Noob questions....

Is it just me, or are visible rivets more desirable than hidden rivets? I mean (correct me if I'm wrong), but doesn't exposed rivets create for a stronger, more sturdy pair of jeans? I'm sure this is why Levi's chose exposed rivets over hidden rivets to began with.

I have nothing against hidden rivets, but exposed rivets appear to be more sturdy.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

they 'choosed' exposed rivets because the had no fucking clue to hide them. both should be as sturdy. and if you look at jeans now you mostly have bar-tagged back pockets, no rivets at all

[stukovx]

quick question:

Can I go to any tailor to have my jeans tapered from the knee down or are there tried and true places that do that kinda thing. I'm located in the Bay Area.

[dawei69]

how much does warehouse 1000xx denim shrink with a soak and how much do they stretch?

[DigitalN.]

Okay I don't want to sound too dumb here.. But how do I go about measuring my waist? I am currently wearing Levi 501 33x34 and they fit pretty decent maybe a bit loose... But when I measure with a tape measure I always get 37". How am I doing this wrong? I am going right where I wear my jeans. Can someone help me with this?

[chantheman]

Measuring the Waist

Step 1: Button up the jean.

Step 2: Lay the jean out flat with the top front edge even with the top back edge.

Step 3: Measure from one side of the waist to the other.

Step 4: Double this measurement

[DigitalN.]

makes sense, however I am reading that it is more beneficial to measure your actual waist and go from there. Whenever I measure the jeans they are the size they are tagged for, but my waist is always a few inches bigger. Surely I can't be measuring wrong, it's an easy task.

[greasypeanut]

does DH MII denim lose a lot of indigo when u first wash it? like my nudies did :eek:

[Ayzen]

How do weird guys in N&F denim fit in the waist?

[Guest wockawockawocka]

is there a nobody jeans thread? where to cop?

[Hendodo]

How do weird guys in N&F denim fit in the waist?

[kinch]

What's something that has a fit similar to APC NS, but made of better quality denim?
