I was looking to get some denim tapered and hemmed, should I ask them to hem it first then taper it? does it make a difference? just curious.

Any cuts similar to Levi's 1954 501z (or slightly slimmer)? Looking for something with a mid-high rise but a fairly tapered leg. I'm usually a 30 or 31 and find jeans with a hem around 7" but a rise that isn't below 10.5" are pretty scarce.

Not sure if you're talking selvedge denim or not but this will probably be helpful

Is it possible to add rivets to jeans?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

ask Jacob Davis...

of course...or how do you think jeans end up with rivets on 'em?

if you want to add them later...yeah that should be possible (except for hidden rivets...or you take the back pockets off and attach them again with rivets). maybe some other spots are also harder to reach

right now i have a pair of samurai 710s and im getting kind of annoyed of how the lower leg doesnt taper like i want it to. what are my options if i dont want a new pair of jeans? thanks a lot!!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

you want more taper? then taper them...

or if they are a bit too long and the stacking kills the taper you could hem them for a cleaner look

[nickahplease]

thanks for the reply. I would love to taper them but the last time i got a pair of jeans tapered the selvedge got ruined

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well...what do you think are your options if you don't want a new pair of jeans and want to stick with the 710?

(tapering from the inseam is the answer)

I'm so frustrated right now. Absolutely in love with the Self Edge x Iron Heart x Leather Soul super dark jeans, but after comparing the measurements of my Eternall 811 I've come to the conclusion that they don't fit me (too tight/slim fit).

Any suggestions for a very, very dark (indigo) straight fit pair, preferably with roomier thighs than 811?

i'm about to start wearing my samurai 710's, but i ran into a little issue. everything fits perfectly fine on them after a hot soak, but the one thing im worried about is the length. im about to get them hemmed and i want pretty much a perfect length. only thing im worried about for doing this is if they will shrink up in length in the future. what are my current options or how should i approach this?

Has anyone ever tried turning a pair or old raws into very light blue jeans? I have a pair that were accidentally washed and have terrible marbling. Was thinking of throwing them thew a few washes to get nice and light? Any suggestions?

[illest.]

I think they'll just come out a bland colour and will retain the marbling.

How about going the other way and overdying them navy or black?

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a pair of high end denim, which is skinny.

so, to my knowledge, the choices available would be dior homme's 19cm in selvedge (mij) but they're very rare.

And the other would be the SExI14, but I kind of dislike the slubbiness of the denim.

What other choices would I have?

Thanks!

Kind of off topic but..... Can anyone explain what bridle leather is?

Maybe a bit late but mikecch has a good explanation for this on his blog:

[Mattchuu]

I bought a pair or unsanforized jeans. Although I sized down because i want to lose some weight should I soak them now or after i have lost the weight. or does it not matter?

Best way to get rid of marbling from an accidental machine wash?

[AimALittle]

I got the ugly phone fade in my front pocket unfortunately, and I was curious if I move my phone will I get some shexy whiskers after while? It looks like a brick.

[michaelttizzle]

I fell and got my canes muddy. Its Still far to early to wash though. I guess I should let the mud dry up and then try to brush it of? Any other suggestions?

When that happens it means it's not too early to wash.

[Crat]

Maybe brush of as much as pss and then a quick soak? They are only 2 months old.....

-edit-

Never mind, luckily I could brush it all of using a nail brush once the mud had dried up.
