Good info on the Evisu Genes.

Does anyone know where I can get Edwin jeans in the U.S.? How is the sizing? (As Evisu is typically 1 size up right?)

[jskidder]

GAWD i need help finding a pair of jeans. i have spent days and hours reading every relevant thread in this section, and after 2 unsuccessful attempts at finding the perfect pair i am back at square one.

first i tried the somet slim 008. it fit great in the legs (though the thigh could have been very slightly tighter), but the rise was just too low for me to handle so i sold them right away. i got the somets in a 26.

next i went with the skull 5010xx 7x6 in a size 27. i got them today only to find that the waist is too tight and the legs are far too loose. not to mention the fact that the back pocket was missing the dagger stitching, which really pissed me off as well.

so, where do i go from here? what can i get that will satisfy my need for a loose saggy waist and a deathgrip on my legs with a rise of 9-9.5" or so and a leg opening of a bit under 7". and i would REALLY like to find something at BiG since i need to exchange the skulls...

Hmm...maybe the Eternal 864? Have I already suggested that?

[jskidder]

^those are WAY too loose in the leg based on the measurements. much looser than the skulls by a full inch in the thigh AND knee in the same size. larger opening as well. i need the thigh, knee, and opening all to be smaller than the skulls i have now...

You're too fucking picky...go have a custom pair made.

[jskidder]

the other options i had in mind were flathead 3001/f310 or pbj 005. thoughts?

[gimmegimme]

They both have higher rises than you want...and only the PBJ's are carried at BiG...so I guess that's one of your last options.

[bencap]

I think the sewing chop sc008 is the slimmest fitting japanese jean. The rise is lower than you want, but other than that it sounds good for you. the hemp in it probably makes those really durable, so you can most likely get some awesome wear out of it without ripping it to shreds!

[nikesber]

does anyone get weird fades fr om sleeping in their jeans? like when you lay on them they fold over?

:confused:

[spudder]

answer please?

[theetruscan]

answer please?

Nope. Not at all. No.

that was the pair i originally thought of, but they only have 34's left and i would need a 27 in those.

on gordon's advice i am going with the pbj xx-008's in raw form so i can control the shrinkage in the waist...

Waist stretches back out fairly easily on those. Thighs don't, ow. Every time I crank up a hill wearing them I cry for my knickers.

[jskidder]

^that sounds like awesome news for me. bring on the tightness!

Ok well basically i live in student accomadation so dont have a bath tub. Is there anyway of soaking jeans without one?

[gimmegimme]

bump. anyone got an answer?

This is a tough one...Levi's says to "size up" on their website to accomodate the 10% shrinkage. I was under the impression that the jeans shrunk to the tagged size. I found another website that said to size up 1" in the waist for sizes 28-36, and size up 3" in the inseam for 30-34 lengths (4" for longer).

I have no idea bout hem measurements...but as they're 501's, I would guess around an 8-8.5 for sizes 32? That's just a guess though.

Here's a link for more info:

I don't see many ppl have wear airmax or dunk. Do u think Airmax/ dunk sneaker, look nice with Flat head 3001 slim cutting or any slim cutting brand?

I'm think as long as your pants don't have to go inside your sneakers...then you're good.

[thisisaaron]

Are the Levis 511s tapered, or straight? Because I've been scouting around a few online sites, and they're just as confused as I am.

511's are straight.

[thisisaaron]

511's are straight.

okay. i'll assume you're talking about the US ones. how about the european 511's? because the official levis.eu site says they're tapered.

[ExileOnMainSt]

alright i got my old computer back that fucked up a while ago and i forget how to install the language package so I can see the Japanese on the rakuten sites, can anyone help me out? its relatively easy i remember but i forget the actual steps

[ipractice]

Assuming you're on XP.

Control panel > Regional and Language > "Languages" Tab > Last last, check the box that says "Install files for East Asian Languages"

Quick question:

What's the fastest, cheapest way to find out my exact measurements? All my jeans are funky in sizing IMO, and I don't want to use them as an index since I'm going to be purcashing my first pair of high-end deninms and I don't want sizing to be messed up.

Should I just go buy some measuring tape and do it myself? Don't really want to head to a tailor, rather do it myself quick.

Also, do APC NS only come in ##x34? L34 is way too long for me and I don't want to mess up my APC's by getting them hemmed horribly... Any other startup, slim fit jeans you recommend? Specific models, not just brands. Might look into Nudies Slim Jims but I've heard bad things about them here, not sure.

[Cameland]

Slim jims are okay, but if you have had crotch blowouts in the past then avoid nudie all together. NS come in 34 and 36 lengths, I think old season was 36 and new season is 34. I suggest maybe the new flathead 310/3001s or samurai 710. They seem to be quite popular, but long inseams! If you order skulls direct, they will hem your jeans to your desired length, they also accept paypal. (skull 5010xx is the slimmest cut)

Best way to measure yourself is to take the tape measure around where you want your jeans to sit.

For instance, I am a size 32 measured on my waist but I wear jeans in a 30. My hips however, measure 34 but I don't usually wear my pants that low.

Hope that helps.

[fre-co]

Dont worry about hemming APCs, They are not chainstitched as far as I know, so any decent tailor will be able to do it just as well as the original hem.

Hi there theres, am certaintly a newbie. got a question

i got a pair of edwin blue trip. not sure whats the model but i was told it was raw black. then recently, i seen another pair which looks almost identical which saysblack rinse. question: how do i know if its raw or not? if its a rinsed model, will there still be fading. i was anticipating fades

thanks guys

[beatle]

Rinsed denim will still fade...

Look at it like a pair of one washed jeans .Not the identical process - but pretty much the same result.

You should be able to feel the difference by stiffnes of the new denim (starch) - or a somewhat softer feel (starch due to wash or rinse mostly gone).

[johnnyrebel]

do one wash canes keep shrinking much anywhere? how long does the inseam end up?
