i might get some the same size as my sams which is down 2! the 45's measure 14.25 my sams after a wash measure 14 but go back to 15 after wear... sound do ok? jomans btw good deal 250 dollars..

[iamstarwars]

I don't have experience with the Jomons, but my Sorahikos, size 31 stretched to 33. You should be fine, and that's a hell of a good price too.

[NoName]

i think its safe to size down on 45 rpms, my sorahikos also stretched around two inches

Need some advice, need some dark indigo jeans like the Fluxus however, I can never find a pair in my size so is there any other examples of nice dark denim. I'm a denim noob so please be cool:)

i am going to sell my pbj xx-007 so i need a new pair of raw denimz. the only pair in my current rotation is the skull 5010xx 6x6.

i love my skulls, but sometimes i want to wear a pair which is a bit wider... not loose, but straight slim instead of skinny. really want a pair of wh660, but there are so many other good pairs. recommendations?

Are Warehouse Lees sanforized or unsanforized?

fullcount 1101 or denime 66xx (cop xx denim before it's gone)

Both can be considered slim straight

i'm looking for a black pair of raws in a modern cut similar to the samurai 710's(or possible a little less tapered). anyone know any good models?

Are Warehouse Lees sanforized or unsanforized?

I believe they are, but PM fardin - he's the expert. If it's the fabric from Nisshinbo or Kaihara, even if it is Sanforized it still seems to shrink by 5%, rather than the claimed 2 or 3...

What year/range? also what jeans is the guy wearing in the middle

[jpsmith98]

Couldn't tell you which season or year, but I'm guessing the jeans in the middle are rescues given the fullness below the knees.

Ok i just got some levi 501 shrink to fits

Waist sized true and inseam 36

After a hot soak they still fit way too baggy even tho im sure i sized right

so i hot soaked again and this time i used a dried machine instead of hang dry

They shrunk a bit more but not enuf and also they softened up

any other methods for a bit more shrinkage?

[Hendodo]

uhhhhh put em in some boiling water?

Hey I was wondering about washing/soaking..

I know that when washing hot, the jeans shrink more, and you lose more indigo relative to washing cold..

But what about soaking versus washing?

I assume you can have more control in how its cleaned, but whats the effect on the whole fading process? Less loss of indigo (and less contrast) than washing?

Thanks!

is there any japanese denim contest on 2010 ?

it's what you'd think it is, and is not worth worrying about.

It's a progression: from short cold soak, long cold soak, hot soak, long hot soak, cold wash, to a 40 or 60 degree wash. One extreme gets rid of all the starch, and via more agitation gets let's say 90% the shrinking out of the way, and also incurs more indigo loss (which is hardly noticeable). THe other gets maybe 70% of the shrinkage out of the way, and leaves some starch in the jeans, which makes them feel crisper.

No. You bought jeans that are too big.
