Want to pick up a pair of Dior Homme jeans from NY store, any proxy available?

I tried to PM and E-mail TheGrapist but never gotten reply.....

[mufid]

I need help finding the right cut for me.

My thighs are, probably due to bicycling, bigger than my calves, so if i wear a straight leg cut that fits tight on the thighs, they are too wide at the bottom.

I want a pair of raw denim selvedge jeans that are slimmer at the bottom but I don't know how this fit is called in english. Any help or recommendations?

I had to alter all my jeans until now...

Can anyone enlighten me on the significance or origin of the Levi's orange tab? tried searching but didn't find anything.

[halberdklown]

is there anything i need to know about the 0500 and 5000 sizing in terms of different measurements for different lots?

[appfaff]

lot 10 is shrink "from" tagged size on the sammies, while the other lots are shrink "to" tagged size. Usually size one up, or keep the waist dry during the soak.

They were simply a budget range, introduced around 1969, which also offered more short-lived, trendy cuts.

Many of them used OE denim, as opposed to the ring-ring of the 501, and some aficionados like them for exactly that (supposeldy unfashionable) look.

do the kmw rockers fit similar to the naked and famous weird guys?

I have a couple questions about the "Japan Denim Regular Fit Straight Jeans" here http://www.uniqlo.com/us/explorer.html#/code:060702-000-68/

Should I expect major inseam shrinkage? I normally wear a 32 length or so and they only come in 34 length. Should I presoak them?

Also, can I get a confirmation that they'll stretch a fair amount and to pick up a size smaller than my usual? I normally wear a 32-33, with an actual waist measurement of 34. In this case should I pick up a 32 or a 33?

Thanks again for any help you can provide!

Is there an official Uniqlo thread? The closest I could find was this: http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=34842&page=55

does anyone know if corpus(rye raw) jeans are any good?

Has anyone else from Oakland heard of Roy Slapper? I just saw a post about him on Cone MIlls' blog. http://conedenim.blogspot.com/2009/0...ets-world.html but it doesn't give a way to find him. I'd definitely want to get some stuff made for me from a local guy, does anyone know anything about him?

I have a pair of APC New Cure sized down 2 (32 to 30) that fit great. I want a pair of dark denim as well, and I was wondering what brand/model would give me a similar skinny fit? I was thinking maybe Dior....

[baldy]

are these sanforized?

[coleslawyum]

are these sanforized?

Nope. Except for the Lee stuff, most of what RMC makes is unsanforized.

I am going to go with the Nudie Thin Finn. If I sized down 2 on new cures should I size down 2 on these as well?

thanks

How can you attach a rivet that fell off? I was wearing a brand new pair and the rivet just kind of fell off in my hand. Doesn't seem to just press together so can I use super glue or something?

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

need a photo.

[benz5521]

It's just a simple nipple rivet. So I don't know if it will re-attach if I squeeze the shit out of it with some pliers or if I should just super glue it.

I have a pair of awesome vintage 1930's-style lace-up/lace-back workwear jeans that look really good (similar to the Mister Freedom 301's) . Everything but the waist is perfect on me. I wear a size 30 waist, but these are about a 33 to 34 waist. Although I still wear them, I don't like the fact that they have a "paperbag" waist. Does anyone know if it's possible to alter jeans around the waist without comprimising the overall look?

If this is even possible, would they be taken in at the waist or the center back? Only problem with the center back is the lace-up section.

Thank you!
