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

[JPRPJBJPJ]

i'm planning on washing my nudies for the first time and i was wondering should i put it in the washer alone? Will it stain everything if i put it in with other jeans?

[chrisj]

put it in the washer alone.

[khoiphan92]

should soak my jeans now even though i dont have good light to photograph them or shld i wait till 2morrow to photograph them???

i want to soak,, bt i want to get good photos.. what to do

depends on whichever one you want more. If i were you i would wait to get good sunlight. A few days wouldnt hurt to soak your jeans.

Soaking again- Should I soak my Imperials? I believe they are unsanfordized since the SE description says they will shrink up to 3" in the inseam, and 1" in the waist. I have also heard that the denim will become damaged if worn raw without a soak. The only problem is that these are a very tight fit, and I'm worried if I soak them, I won't be able to get them back on...

[spunkey]

They are sanforized, so you don't really need to soak. And wearing them raw doesnt damage them, but for unsanforized denim, if you wear for a while then wash, the denim will shrink and your honeycombs will move up and be out of place

[Eason]

I just heard it's better for the denim if you soak first- somebody in the imperial thread posted that their honeycombs were so sharp that they wore through...

Okay, this site has a billion questions and answers about when to first wash jeans. But what are people's opinions on after the first wash?

Do you switch to a monthly basis? or wait another 6 months? or just whenever you feel like it?

I have a pair of APC NS and Nudie RRDS that smell like death and need washing, and also shrinking (I lost some weight). I've been wearing these for 3 months.

1+ How to wash Nudies?

2+ How to wash APC?

3+ Possible to wash and shrink at same time?

[Clench Million]

wash with hot water to shrink them.. tumble dry too, though it might damage the denim a ltittle.

[DJI]

does anyone make jeans slimmer than the dior 19cm cut in non-stretch denim, or are the diors basically as slim as you can make 100% cotton denim jeans without making them uncomfortable?

[ggatsby]

theres the sufu-imperials

and the past season JR-hobokens used to be 100% cotton, though i think the current ones are 2% stretch.

washing question-

is it recommand to soak your jeans in hot or cold water? what is the difference? cheers

Another washing question:

I've been reading about washing and soaps in various topics, but there are some things I still don't understand. I see people wash mostly with Dr. Bronners or any other type of all organic soap. Would those soaps prefent the jeans from losing much indigo or dark color, (besides that it's better for the jeans to use a detergent without those empa-whatevers)? Like special dark detergents do? And what about special denim detergents, are they pretty much the same as an organic soap? And why do people put salt in the water when washing/soaking jeans? Is that to keep the color? Thanks and rep in advance.

After the first wash they will get dirty quicker. So wash whenever you have to..Japanese guys usually wash every 4 weeks (if you wear them every day)

Hot water..you'll get better shrinking results

Dr. Bronners and various organic soaps are made without any bleach. So they get rid of dirt - and leave more indigo

How about from Japan?

I'm sure if you call the big Levi's store in NYC they could help you out.

What is it you're looking for exactly? You like the 47 cut and want options?

[Mr. Potato]

Looking for a low or mid rise, straight leg, fitted but nothing too slim (8" to 8.5" opening). I already have SD-103 and Samurai S5000. Price doesn't really matter, but something below $200 will be great. Any suggestions?

[tedadoret]

anybody know of any denim that fades purpleish? id really like something like that for my next pair

[modual]

Yeah sorry i should have been more specific. Basically i meant i like the 47 cut and want cuts that are based on it maybe with a slightly lower rise and modern detailing.

[wowsors]

anyone know the front rise of the uniqlo raw s-000 jeans in size 28 or 29?

[RobZ]

Looking for some advice on my next pair of jeans. I am liking the fit of APC New Standards (what I always wear) but possibly a slimmer leg and definitely still tapered. I've been looking into Samurai and Flat Head (F-380 and 3001). If anyone has suggestions for a good pick and sizing recommendations, I am a 31 in APC NS and the denim is fairly tight around my thigh region, so nothing too slim.

[DJI]

front rise on a size 28 pair is 21cm.
