Is it an ISO issue? 

[Flash]

I'm not really in the know about photography so I just have my camera set to auto , they look great on the camera but when I post there soo grainy , really starting to piss me off

[altoclefchris]

The ISO setting controls how sensitive the sensor is to light, so the higher the ISO setting the faster the shutter speed. However, the higher the ISO setting, the more noise or graininess you'll see.

thanks mate , it seems photobucket was the problem so i have switched to flickr

told you so

Hey

 

Need a legit check on these balmain bikers I picked up. Apparently they have been heavily used and have been redyed at some point (which explains the care tag). These are the stretch model released several seasons ago before Balmain switched to Japanese production (hence the Made in Italy tag). 

 

The zips are lampo, fairly heavy and function smooth. This is my very first pair of bikers and I do plan on getting the holes repaired, etc but I don’t want to mess with them if they are not legit. 

 

They also fit like stock pics Ive seen. Anyway, a “yay†or “nay†would be most helpful!

 

Thanks in advance!

^ was the fly construction an afterthought on those?

[tmadd]

hey guys ! 

 

Looking for help so i hope you guys can enlight me ! 

 

I usually wear skinny fits for my denim, lately i'm pretty sick of it. I work all day outside walking 10/15km, my point is that skinny fit isn"t that comfy to wear all day. 

 

I'm looking for a regular/Slim (but not too much), i'm looking for IH, FH, PBJ what could you recommend ?

 

 

One more thing, i'm pretty skinny, 175cm for 55kg with grasshopper legs...i'm kinda scared to buy something at 300$ + if it's look like a baggy !!

 

 

hope i was clear all along

 

thanks

If you're that tall and wearing size 28 I'd recommend the FH 3009 as a jean that will definitely be significantly more comfortable for tons of walking and will still look plenty trim.  While it is a regular fitting jean, that even some guys into repro cuts will wear, it will have a pretty slim look to it on a guy that is tall and slender.  I'd advise that you're at least one size up, and likely two from most jeans you wear.

Is anyone else having trouble accessing this forum? I get the ads and headings but no threads most of the time this past week!

[youngofthesoonest]

yeah i've been having the same issue as well. it's gotten better the last couple of days. glad to see it wasn't just me. 

[Al6ert]

^ yep, same here. It's annoyed me so much that I dug up that old "SUPERFUTURE GHETTO thread: All things Supertalk" on StyleForum, and started using SF again

[BukkakeKing]

thanks a lot

No problem! I'd love to see someone wear a pair of those out, if you get a pair be sure to update

Newb Question:

 

I just got a pair of APC New Standards, and from what I understand APC's are sanforized.  So is it worthwhile to soak them before I start wearing them daily like I do with my raw denim?  Getting the shrink out is the only reason I know that the soak is for, but I am wondering if a soak might help them fade faster or something else.  I don't know, just feels like I should soak them for reason.

 

Help??

Yeah, it is quite steep!

Friends! From what I have understood my two favourite jeans fits have been discontinued, Nudie Sharp Bengt and Edwin ED-49. Do you know any similar fits? I would of bought a pair of Levi's 1954 if it wasn't for the zip fly.

 

Any suggestions?

[Walt Thizzney]

these are to big arnt they? did not realize how much bigger unbranded new sizing is!

 

[tchengaa]

hi ~ i am new to this forum, nice to learn all kind of denim-related knowledge from this site!

But I have come across some difficulties recently, I purchased a pair of Fullcounts last week, but i found them a little bit too big in the waist even after a couple of hot soaks and warm dry. Should I take it to the tailor to take in some waist or do you think it's a bad move?

your advice is greatly appreciated ! million thanks !

[Flash]

better to sell them and buy a smaller size IMO

[youngofthesoonest]

Depends how much you want to take it. Is it only the waist that's big or is it overall just big? If it's just in the waist I've seen some waist alterations that are nicely done that make it unnoticeable that anything was done. Or just wear a belt

[tchengaa]

hi thanks a lot for your opinions~

it's about 0.5-0.7 inches bigger in the waist, so will it be a massive re-construction if i bring my jeans to the tailor's ???

[nizzel55]

I am looking for a Hoodie with a zipper. That is not to heavy. 

Going to use it over a t-shirt under a denim jacket.

 

Grey or black would be prefered. Blue is also an option.

 

Anyone have any good suggestions of a nice hoodie with a zipper?

 

/N

[youngofthesoonest]

how much are you looking to spend? the 3sixteen makes a great hoodie for less than $200. my favorite hoodie has to be strike gold hoodies. they're pricy but so worth it if you wear hoodies a lot.

Looking to get a pair of Nudies, I got a pair of Slim Jims at home. They're a big on the bigger side for me though. I'm looking for something that fits like a levis 511 or a Naked and Famous Skinny Guy, any idea on which fit I should be looking for??

Any raw denim that are cyclist friendly? Or anything with generous room in the top block with a taper?
