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

[Maynard Friedman]

Would love to get a pair of the 101s, but the rise just isn't enough. I'd have to go back and check my LVC 66s, but I think their front rise once completely shrunk is 12.5". That's really as low as I'd like to go. From my experience with flight jackets made by some of the Japanese brands, they have proportion issues when they get above a size 44. Wouldn't be surprised if the same applies to some of the jeans manufactures when they get above a size 36.

BF, didn't realize your new Denime were the old stock XX. Thanks for the clarification, and nice find!

Mister Freedom Californians Lot 54 have a 14" rise in a size 38 if you can find 'em.

Is there a difference between Levi's 'Made in the USA' and 'Made Here'.

Is Made Here just supposed to be like local 80 year old expert beltmaker x Levi's collections.

i don't know how, but the tab on my 710xx ended curling up and folding in on itself. is there anyway to straighten in out again?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

ît just happens...if it really bothers you, you can try to iron it flat

[big truck]

Very irritating when the tab folds up like that.

[jwsach]

folded red tab is more wabi-sabi

Will ironing my 2 month old APC PS' damage them at all/will I get weird fading? I was thinking ironing might help the "knee boob" area go back to being flat. Thanks!

[chantheman]

wearing them will help with the knee bob area. they are probably still too stiff to really form to you

What brands in your opinion, have the best raw black denim?

Iron Heart BB SBGs are nice. Samurai BK

[itylerstewart]

Sugar Cane 1947s or Wolverine 1000 Mile?

Call Crane's Country Store about the 1000 mile boots. They might be able to make the decision easier.

Jeans with 36 inseam under 200$. tapered cut. black or raw. want something king of dressy i could wear with PS shoes. any suggestions?

[itschrisb]

Any good recommendations for a nice black Jean jacket besides iron heart?

Also does anyone know where I could get a pair of carharrt raw jeans from? And Do they offer a slim tapered fit?

[madstaxbro]

Didn't Unionmade have some recently.

A good buttload of workwear stores, like actual green triangle stuff have them. I don't think Carhartt makes tapered anything even the AK collab pieces.

[itschrisb]

Thanks for the links I wish I knew how they fit before ordering a pair.

6' 165 is pretty skinny. So, you might be able to have a really nice, still somewhat loose fit with 19cm.

[Poonti]

wish i could try them on. would 21 cm be loose? or still good though? guess ill go for 19 cm size 31? im not sure of my waist, because im not sure where to measure, but i think im 33-34"

anyone know where i can pick them up? other than browns and lva? anyone know any "proxies"? (thats what you call people who buy them and then sell to you?)

[itylerstewart]

I'm not really sure who do to direct your question to because I don't really have Dior experience. Try to ask in the Dior Homme thread and maybe someone who knows the sizing can assist you.

[djanoano]

Great. I received my PS today but it seems as though I lost weight. I can button the top button with ease and I can fit my whole hand into my pants (pause).

I wanted them to fit like this...

and instead they fit a little baggier than this...

I bought a 30. Would sizing down one more to a 29 fit like I want it to or should I size down two to 28? I plan on sending them back to context tomorrow.

Thank you in advance for your help!

[jonsc]

Honestly I think the fit looks the same, but that's because the second photo is dark haha. I think it looks good, any skinnier and it would be uncomfortable wouldn't it?

Honestly, APCs fit the bill. Size 32 and up have an inseam that stretches to that long. I'm 6'4 and I still have some stacks with my size 32 and 34 PS. Petit Standards are tapered as well and APC has black denim.

[Poonti]

ive decided i want to get either:

Samurai, Studio D'Artisan, Momotaro, Iron Heart and Flat Head

just not sure how to pick between them... anyone have good experience with the fits?

im 6 feet 165 lbs still gaining slowly (muscle, mostly in upperbody)

33 inch waist or so

[chantheman]

i like SDA

Boot persons question:

I'm thinking of getting a pair of Alden 405s from J Crew, since I have a little store credit to spend. I'm not sure if they'll be in store to try on, so can you guys help with sizing advice? I'm usually a 9.5 in most sneakers, and I'm a 9 in Clarks desert boots, and a pair of Frye chukkas. I was thinking a 9 for the Aldens as well. Appreciate the help.

[Poonti]

are raw jeans meant to be worn tight so that the fades and creases show up and get created better?

[madstaxbro]

Yes also starch them and paint with thin layer of acrylic then rub in dirt.

[jonsc]

Not necessarily. Raw denim can be worn in any fit as regular denim. There are pros and cons of wearing your jeans tight or loose. They will fade no matter how you wear them, just a matter of personal preference. The modern style seems to be a low rise and tapered, which is why you will see a lot of people wearing tighter jeans.

Are fluxus sanforized?
