I'm interested in some Lee Japan denim. Is there any online sites that provide pictures or sell these denims?

What does "deadstock" mean? I've tryed looking it up with little result. What I found was "Supply provided; store; accumulation; especially, a merchant's or manufacturer's store of goods; as, to lay in a stock of provisions."

That doesn't seem to say that the term implys anything special. Doesn't the term mean something more?

[christianjustin]

it means brand new when it comes to footwear, but i think it can also mean no longer produced

[Tyler Durden]

tyler durden informs that deadstock is basically stuff that isnt made no more but still have it in stock. tyler durden gives example like rolls of denim from 50 years ago, its dead stock because they have it in "stock" but they aren't making any more of that specific denim.

i think if you use the search bar you might find something ... and just wear them hard and i am sure they will look great in time.

sometimes the water will turn blue when you soak in the tub, if it does just make sure you wipe it off quickly and it wont stain.

In the case of BiG's Samurai model (as an example), the denim used is considered deadstock because the model the denim was created for is now discontinued (0505).

The gap thread is here. As mentioned, raw jeans can stain the tub sometimes, but just be vigilent about cleaning it quickly so it doesn't stain. I don't know much about gap's jeans, but I'm sure they're sanforized, so I doubt you need to soak them anyway.

Looks real...kinda strange that's its in such perfect condition...it doesn't appear to have any signs of aging whatsoever. Label & stitching look real...I thought they normally had 6 buttons, but that might just be the size. PaulT would be the best person to ask though.

im thinking of buying from one of those sites would it be cheaper than ordering from like BiG?

Yes. Absolutely . . .

as long as you don't get charged import duty, don't need them hemmed, don't ever need repairs, and order the appropriate size the first time around.

[LikeClockwork]

so pretty much you better know what the fuck your doing...shit i cant find a site to translate it to english

Babelfish and Google are roughly equivalent, but both leave a lot to be desired. I'd sort out what you want based on information on SuFu, then, if you're positive you know what you're doing, and won't be wanting hemming or repairing (or, if the model isn't available here), order away.

Hello,

I've worn my raw Nudies everyday for about 6 months now and I'm thinking of doing a warm soak with Bronners detergent followed by 2 warm rinses.

Come the 1 year mark I'll do a real machine wash.

What do you all think of the 6 month rinse idea?

Thanks,

Jacob

[beatle]

Always depends on the jeans...maybe post a pic - so we know what they look like...with Nudies - less water is always more - the indigo washes out so quickly...

Which japanese denim has the closest cut as the APC NS? I am basically looking for something with the APC NS cut but heavier. Thanks.

Maybe Samurai 0500xx.

Keep in mind that you need a proxy for most (possibly all) of those. 2nd ships internationally though (as of last I heard).

[edmond]

[tmadd]

If I wear a 30 in Slim Jims or Finns, what size should I get for the same fit in the waist from a PBJ xx-007 post warm soaking?

[Topik]

I've been looking around recently for pictures of faded Samurai s0110xj. Can anyone throw me a link or point me in the right direction?

[powerviolence]
