With shrink to fit style (non-sanforized) denim, what are the benefits to buying raw vs. one-wash styles since you have to soak them anyway? Is there an additional benefit other than the ability to control the soak / wash method?

Thanks in advance.

No benefit to buying raw, other than what you said about controlling the shrinking...and some people just like the process of watching their jeans shrink.

No. Others will disagree.

Well, we agree...Cameland is the only other one gives input...what say he?

[detonationBLVD]

raw has a longer inseam, more indigo... you don't necessarily have to soak them either.

gimme i was thinking you could answer my post... please

The 872's are pretty much their "normal" fit...regular rise, straight leg...I guess in Samurai the 510 would be closest, Flathead F380, SDA --1 series (101, 201, 301, 001, etc.), PBJ 003/006, Denime 66...those are off the top of my head, not sure about the other brands off-hand.

Probably Sugarcane 55 or 66 then. Will take a glance at BiG this weekend if you really care.

I think more so the 66...the 55 has a horrible cut...I don't know what they were thinking with that one.

I'm not sure what Warehouse is doing these days since they cut their repro line...Yen jeans are weird and unattractive (from what I've seen), and I think Momotaro have a cut called "Slim Straight" or something like that.

Thanks Gimme, Thanks Truscan. I'm off to do a little shopping.

the LVC 55 cuts are really phenomenal. The sugarcane interpretation is terrible. As are most of their cuts for someone without a big waist

...and they waisted all those deadstock zippers on such a crap cut.

[gimmegimme]

please enlighten me denim wizard

Do the research yourself...you don't even warrant the explanation.

let me know theetruscan.. please could you ask the people there regarding which modela nd etcetc is the same cut as the 872's thanks mate really appreciate it

[detonationBLVD]

yo sorry my google is broken.. i really need your help

[discooo]

I know I've heard alot about Nudie, seems more bad then good because often the notorious crotch rip comes up. But I was wondering, does that happen on all models, or does it tend to happen on some more then others? Because I haven't heard much bad about the models that are stretch. Would buying strech lower my chances of having some of those ripping problems or is it all the same ?

I just bought a pair of Samurai S5000VX last week. I did a warm soak for a few hours on the first day.

I have a few questions:

-has anyone had them hemmed? Is it considered a waste to buy Samurais and do that? I have come to realize that i am not a fan of the cuff. The store i got them from, Blue In Green, does chain stitching that looks pretty good.

-I have noticed that there is fairly generous stretching in the knee area, as I spend most of my day sitting in a chair at work. It is giving me great honeycombs in the back, but also makes the front look a little goofy. When I stand up straight, the front part still sticks out. Would hemming help that?

Any help would certainly be appreciated.

Big's chainstitching is nice, use it.

I think you can wash your jeans more, but then they don't fade nicely. It's one of those terrible catch 22s us desk jockeys suffer.

RRL I think.

The knee will settle down and fall better with time, when the denim gets softer.

[johnnyrebel]

is there suppose to be horizontal thread stitching in the crotch seam of lvc 1947s? it looks like mine came ripped out or is it normal?

[was ist los?]

My backpocket is due to rip, any suggestions on how to reinforce:
