ha you again huh? lol

yup , just answering questions..

[Guest DCDenim]

what is the difference in selvage line colors? I know it's supposed to indicate some sort of specific type of denim but does it really mean anything?

ie. blue line, red line, etc?

Thanks.

Originally used by Cone Mills to differentiate the denim they made for different companies (Levi's = red, Lee = green or blue, Wrangler = yellow), but is purely decorative today.

i have a pair of good society's that have been washed once are are about 9 months old. they are beginning to smell again but i don't personally think they're ready for another wash. if i soak them will the smell go away or should i get them dry cleaned?

Can the 501xx preshrunk raw jeans get good fades or should one stick to the STF?

[Brockg777]

I'm looking to get a pair of black jeans similar to acne max cash but with a slightly higher rise (around 9.5"). Basically a dior 19cm fit but with a more black color than the grey/black metallic color of black diors. Any suggestions?

Help With Denim Sizing For Number (N)ine and Raf By Raf Simons

Hi

I am getting a friend to purchase some jeans by Number (N)ine and Raf By Raf Simons and am confused as to the sizing.

I am a 29 in some brands like Dior, Earnest Sewn, Habitual and old Helmut Lang but a 28 in washed Nudie and APC. I am currently breaking in a 27 in dry APC's.

How do Number (N)ine and Raf By Raf Simons jeans fit?

Should I go for a Size 28 or 29 in Raf By Raf Simons?

Should I go for a Size 2 or 3 in Number (N)ine?

Thanks

Mikey

[lintmunro]

What are some grey denims worth looking into? I was a big fan of the NC Grey's but couldn't find my size. Anything other than Joey Colordrives I can look into?

That is the selvage left from a projectile loom.

Not really 'true' selvage

This is the true, vintage-style selvage that we're all orgasming about. Note how the horizontal threads are woven back in, rather than cut off.

No.

In fact any line at the end of a fabric is called selvedge, but what we term selvage denim always has a closed selvage. Your photo shows a fringed selvage, hence not made on a shuttle loom.

Is this raw denim?

Just wondering because I need a new pair of jeans cuz my old pair of raw denim were super weak and tore up like no other.

[evisu 2000]

Can't really answer your question, but I don't think any LVCs are cut as slim as NS with the exception of the 606, which is a skinny/tapered jean. The slimmest straight leg LVCs are '47 501 and '67 505, for what it's worth.

oke been thinking about getting a pair of japanese (samurai, studio d'artisan, skull etc) and I was just wondering which model is the most similar to apcs new standard?

Yep these are my 606s and if you sag these, you won't get much hip flare at all, the top block on these are pretty straight up and down.

[Farris]

convince me not to cut the front pockets out of my diors.

i dont ever use them and they are starting to get that line of fade where the pockets are. look at imps if you dont know exactly what im talking about

[TTM]

are there any denim contests coming up?

[rxtim]

i have 22" thighs and a waist size 31. is there any tapered, calf slimming jeans that would look somewhat flattering? i was thinking rescues, but i believe they're straight throughout

[sayocean]

S5000VX Sz. 29 RAW - Lot 10,

How much shrinkage should I expect? Waist measures 15.5 at the moment. With a hot soak, i'm looking at _____ ?

Thanks

[addictedtodenim]

well ive had my jeans for not even a month yet and i dont really sag.

i know that causes stress. but ive been checking the crotch area and theres signs of fading like whiskers do. i know its from walking, but does that mean theyre prone to rip ?

right, the fading means that there is more friction in that area. it doesnt necessarily mean they are GOING to rip but if you start noticing the threads themselves getting worn down then i would say yes. just keep an eye on it.
