Sorry if I am interrupting a group discussion guys, but anyone know of denim that uses hemp, besides Red Cloud? Would love to explore a couple more options.

Nudie had a pair in their line up some years ago

Go west ( go hemp )used hemp but you will have a hard time finding a pair unless you get lucky on yahoo auctions

I wore my xx-013 with a leg twist after I hot soaked them. I've worn them for like four days so far. Can I get rid of this by hot soaking them again one more time and hope that it fixes it? It wouldn't ruin the indigo right? It would just reset the combs & etc?

You can just twist your own leg (either temporarily when wearing said jeans or permanently, in the event this unfortunate and rare occurrence happens again with another raw pair) so that the jeans now align perfectly to your body.

It's quite an old model now, but Naoki has one left in a 33 though I think you'd need a 34?

Waist measures a 34, but usually wear 33. All depends on measurements, appreciate it hog. Hopefully these will still be here in a few weeks.

Hmmmmm, not sure I could pull off the straight cut tbh. I know for a fact I couldn't do the Jelado's. Tall and skinny doesn't mix well with those cuts.

Has anyone shipped a pair of jeans from the US to Thailand before? I had a guy message me about a pair of 710's I have on eBay, asking how much shipping would be to Thailand. I tried using the calculator on FedEx's website, and it's telling me around $150...surely not..

[bradl]

I personally always use Canada Post if I am shipping out of country, because Fedex Ups and Purolator are always bloody expensive for smaller packages.

[Rain Dogs]

Even USPS' website is saying close to $90. That's ridiculous..

Is it weird to have one leg opening larger than the other? Under the knee of my xx-013, one leg tapers from 7 downward and the other tapers from 6.7. its a bothersome feeling when one opening is tight on your leg, and the other feels loose. 

[Maynard Friedman]

Just stretch out the smaller hem repeatedly with your hands and eventually it will stretch to the same size as the other. You may even dampen them first to make it easier if you prefer. I had the same problem with a pair of Warehouse and repeated stretching has resolved it.

[playgfordisabled]

how would you recommend stretching it? 

[denimexx]

do XX model usually refer to 40s or 50s 501?

and some jeans such as skull 5000xx claim to be 40s-50s cut, are they more close to straight cut like 55 or slim cut (relatively) like 47?

thanks in advance!

if you just cant get the last button I say just wear them for a little while buttoned as much as possible, if you cant get half or even less you may want to try exchanging before you get neck deep in a pair that is too small

[thepinecone]

So I just received SE05BSPs and the waist fits perfectly pre soak, and the rest of the jean would fit perfectly after the initial soak. Is there any way I can keep this waist size and shrink the rest of the jean? Like can I stick a dowel there and keep that waist size or just not soak the waist?

 

[Double 0 Soul]

Yup either brace it with a piece of wood, alternatively lay them down in the bath with the waist protruding above the water line or better still just wear them in the bath then go for a walk around the block. Just like the Levis ads from the 80,s.

thanks, I actually soaked the waist and i put something in between to stretch it out while drying, and it worked pretty well

Good to here, enjoy your pair.

I am hoping you're still returning these?

[Mistajayd]

I have some unbranded ub101's I've been wearing for about 5 months. Great jeans, only problem is, I have a crease right smack on the middle of the jean by my shoe that makes the form of the jean look retarded. Is there any way I can get rid of unwanted creases?? Anything, please answer,

Iron it out, or is it a fade now?

[FLDenim211]

Steam could release the unwanted crease

couldnt this go to the small questions forum

[UkeNo]

^ Good point.
