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

[fearitself]

my waist is a 29, should i go for a 30 in waist for the s5000s. and I plan on soaking them

[cyberPUNK]

anybody know where i can find the sizing information for a pair of Flat Head 4001BK's?

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Becks23]

Thanks for the help guys, I bought them direct from Skulls, I'll look to take them to Take5 or something like that.

[ipractice]

Need black denim. Would prefer spending less... although I'm considering any denim at this point. I'm looking for a fit most similar to dior 19cm (would buy some SExIMPbk, but possibly out of stock and considering the price).

I have Skulls 5010xx in indigo but they are not tapered enough. Thighs (around 10") are perfect. I don't want anything tighter then that above the knees... I just need something much more tapered/slim below the knees. Also tried APC NS, not slim enough below the knees. Looking for some stacking near the ankles too, so preferably an inseam of ~34.

Possibly Levi's 511's for a VERY cheap alternative? Anyone know if they make these in inseam in 34 for waist sizes 30 and below? I have yet to find a pair. Any input on them would be great.

As for sizing reference, my skulls 5010xx are tagged 30 but have stretched out to a 31. They sit comfortably low. Actually would like a more low-rise, anti-fit for this pair of denim.

just got a new pair of carhartt duck pants... and they´re actually too stiff. So whats the best way to soften them up? washing machine with some kind of softener? or just put them dry in the dryer?

...the former...

[huepfsack]

511's in 30*34 are quite common.i have one of them and they fit really nice,slim but not tight.however,they aren't as tapered as diors.

I think Kyia should know all about the FH 4001..I beleive they run a tad smaller than the 3001, but I could be wrong...

Fearitself - get a 28

[Guest noogsahoy]

i was wondering about soaking, people have posted about soaking whilst wearing them. looking to try keen most of the size in the waist so i figure this will be a good way of doing it.

so probably sit in the tub for 30 minutes or so?

cool water (since trying not to shrink too much)

any soap or anything?

maybe salt or vinegar?

[beatle]

If you are able to sit for 30 min in cold water...

I would go for warm...

[fre-co]

no salt or vinegar. maybe some olive oil though. It must be extra virgin for good results.

what's the skinniest jeans that julian red makes?

[coleslawyum]

Anyone know the difference between the Edwin made Lee repros versus the Real McCoy's version, besides price? The Real McCoy's version in Denim Indigo Master looks incredible.

I've decided to buy a pair of 5ep LDB in rigid, but i'm reading conflicting sizing information.

I've read that they are sized much larger than tagged. Has anyone had experience with theml and if so, please chime in

[epitaph220]

is the LVC line all selvedge?

The Hoboken cut is the skinniest, followed by California, with Detroit being the baggiest.

I think all the jeans are, but not all the jackets.

[phr]

is it possible to wash levis 501 stf's without shrinking them (too much) but more importantly without losing the rigidity? If someone knows I'd appreciate it. thanks

[khoiphan92]

can someone give me more information on the brand "Studio Zero"? my friend showed me a link on rakouten and ive never seen or heard about these. From the looks of it instead of paying 250 for these why not get a pair of sammies or so for the same price?

Is is fair to compare the fit of a Samurai S5000 to a Dior 21cm?

[beatle]

Hell, nOOOOO

That's like comparing Buzz Rickson to Sony.

I'm quite interested in a pair of black coated jeans. But could someone tell me, when I buy a pair (lets say a pair of those Nudie's with the coating) and I wear it for like 6 months. Am I able to clean them somehow, without losing the coating? Could they be dry cleaned?

A pair of Comme Des Garcon Homme Plus jeans made an appearence in Doing Bird #12. They looked raw, but the legs were cropped out of the shot. Can anyone provide some more information on the cut and construction?

[monook]

nvm,internet is shit

[Pie.cr]

I'm thinking of buying a pair of acne max's, i'm not sure if i should opt for the 29 or 30w version. the 29 is 78.5 cm, the 30 cm is 81cm. Problem is that my best fitting jeans (skull 5010xx) is stretched out 80cm...Does anyone has experience with these jeans?

You could also try for Julian Red Dark Dancers. I hear they are a nice dark grey wash.

Haha, thanks.

Silly question then... what's the biggest difference? Are the S5000s considerably looser?

Or is a comparison just so far out, that it cannot be made. Thanks for the response...
