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

[anthonyoj]

poly cotton threads are only used in the stitching. not in the denim

THAT is the answer i was looking for. thank you.

[gimmegimme]

any trustworthy sites to buy "the joey" in overdrive by april 77's in waist size 26? [or any reputable brands with same quality like nudies, etc]

thanks. and yes 26.

You mean crap quality? Try Helloblackbird.

[rxtim]

what are the slim fitting levi's. i wanna try these on just to get the sense of how these types fit me before i purchase some raws

[booyaolian]

I really like APC NS's tapered but not slim fit. However, I ordered sz 28 and it doesn't fit. (I got to button up the last button, the 4th one) But the fit under the knee is perfect.

So I am wondering am I a good fit to wear sz 29 APC NS? or should I go for sz 30 APC NC?

Would they be the correct sz?

my measurement

waist (bellybutton) 30"

waist (actual low-mid rise area) 32-33"

butt - 38"

thigh - 22"

yah I do squat hahaha...

I wear sz 30 Diesel Viker...if that's any help.

[Miiiij]

Anyone have a good idea of how to get the sulfur smell out of Raw black denim? I just picked up a pair of Nudie AJDBS and I'm trying to get the smell out. Thanks in advance!

my 27 NS started around 29" and stretched to a little over 30.5"; if the 28's fit you well everywhere but the waist, just wait it out. you can get 2"+ stretching out of APC's, plus you only have one button that you can't do, many people start off only being able to do one or two buttons and end up with a perfect fit after they stretch out.

Wash them.

I think you misunderstood me, I can only button up the last button.

So I only button up 1 button not three button.

sz 28 fits below the knee, but I'd want more room on the thigh area.

btw, is APC NS indigo suppose to look like black jean when you first got it?

[Mugnut]

Warehouse Dubbleworks 800 or 660?

I'm looking to replace APC NS that have almost run their course for me. The NS are 34 (stretched to about 37" now), but I should've gotten 33. 36" true waist. 6' 183. I like the general cut of the New Standards.

[stabliu]

do the IH 634S come in one wash or do they only come in raw?

ah yeah. according to the measurement chart on context, the 30 NC will have the same fit from the knee down as the 28 NS.

and all the indigo APC's are a very dark blue when new

Can I go to a normal tailor for a taper job on my XX-007's? I know I can forget about chainstich, but is it too difficult? Thank you!

[iamstarwars]

If your tailor is good, it should be possible.

[nhpb1]

Are Levi Capital E rigids STF?

[LaiShin]

What are the current cheaper sites to get Nudie from?

used to be denim bar iirc?

[sneakerfreaker]

i need comfortable everyday jeans that are slightkly tapered!

i need some room at the top but want a rather tight leg opening!

something like the head porter plus jeans would be awesome, if they would only make jeans for us bigger guys...

[原料かば]

does anyone have any experience with brownsfashion.com?

does anyone have any more info on these?

[Farris]

i need a jean...at least 35 inch inseam. cannot be high rise. straight leg. will be a sufu "relaxed" fit, but normal people would consider normal. slight taper is ok. i dont look good in skinny jeans. price doesnt matter.

[erk]

samurai s5000vx - will shrink to a 36" inseam

LVC 1947 sized correctly. (2 up from waist size) - you would want to get a 38" inseam, should shrink to 35.

[Farris]

samurai s5000vx - will shrink to a 36" inseam

this is what i really want, but they only come in 19oz denim right?

its too hot in texas for anything more than 15oz.

[gimmegimme]

The normal version is 17oz. Check to see if Blue In Green has any of the USA model left...same cut (a tad slimmer maybe) and uses 15oz denim.

[scoon0224]

S5000vx is also available in 15oz Texas Cotton from 2nd (e2nd.net, listed as S5000XX)

Warehouse Dubblworks 660, from Blue in Green might also fit the bill. Just pay close attention to the sizing.

Eternal 811's from BiG also have a long inseam (39" raw)

[Farris]

dont the texas editions have that back strap on the ass? is that easily removed?

[erk]

the Blue In Green USA's have a cinch back

the s5000xx do not - as pictured here

http://www.e2nd.net/br-sj/sj-411-01-f/sj-s5000xx-2nd.htm

cinch backs are sweet anyways...

[Farris]

i may have found a winner...http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=2087&category_id=&manufacturer_id=10&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=28

same silhouette as a 5000vx, 15oz, no cinch back (not knocking the CB, just not for me.) i looked at the samurai encyclopedia page with sizing advice and these werent on there. should i follow the sizing advice of the 5000vx or should i look at advice from other jeans with natural indigo that are also 15 oz???

edit: ignore that natural indigo part

[dubya01]

I have a pair of Flathead f380 selvage jeans what I'm going to get hemmed. Is there any specific instructions for selvage jeans being hemmed, or is it like any other hem.

Also, I have a pair of RRDS that I've had for 7 months w/o wash. I see the crotch is starting to give - can I take it to any ole tailor to get them reinforced? I don't have extra denim - could I just get the denim that I'm going to get from my flatheads being hemmed to reinforce the nudies?

[scoon0224]

yeah you could use the extra denim.

BUT you'd want to make sure it's already shrunk, and has the starch washed out of it so that it's more flexible.

[Bigyen]

could anyone recommend a good sewing machine to make repairs with? I'm preferably looking for something small/light weight.

DOMO!

I would ask Gordon (of blue in green) directly for sizing advice. You'd normally size down 1 for the standard 5000's, but I'm not sure if this denim stretches as much, so it's best to clarify with the store.

Very nice jeans, I'm sure you'll love them.

Has anyone heard of Renew Denim?

http://renewdenim.com/

They have a storefront in Davis, CA that's supposed to be opening sometime this month. They're advertising on Craigslist for sales associates. The sign on their window said they would have denim and vintage clothes.

Does anyone know if they have their own line or if they are strictly retailers? Or what brands they will be carrying?
