[m1sterko]

can someone rock skinny jeans with thunder thighs?

not super mad thunder thights, but im not a dior homme model who walks on sticks.

[emixam]

To Slums ( got the Uniqlo Selvedge Jeans s-000 skinny fir straight. Are these jeans I could just wash anytime?)

they are one wash, don`t wash them and wear them often to get (hopefully) nice fade/creasing.

[guccimane]

Are these 19cm or 21cm? And are they really shiny or is it quite subtle, its really hard to tell from the pictures. Has anybody got these?

I asked Browns but no reply.

Thanks

[beatle]

I'm not an expert - but I would say 19cm...

quick question...im noticing that whiskers don't seem to want to form most of the time im sitting, getting lots of honeycombs though, is it cause my jeans are too loose? bored in class

Takes time, relax.

[mr_smartman]

besides time, cause im thinking i might be wearing it a bit loose, when i sit down the thigh and crotch area is kinda flat...cept a certain part which will remain annonomus to prevent too much information anyways im just asking if i should see folds/whiskers when sitting on a chair:confused::confused:

thanks

When I was walking back from the bar the other night I got a bid of mud on the back of my jeans. Best way to get it off? Water doesn't seem to work that well without totally picking up a ton of indigo. I've been wearing these since December 25th without a soak. Should I soak them? If so, I presume it should be in cold water?

Does any one know who makes a buttondown pullover shirt similar to this:

I've got APC's that I've worn on and off for like 6 or 7 months. I want to shrink the knee bags, because they are starting to look completely ridiculous. Is there a way to soak jeans to shrink them but not lose any of the color/fading process? and could I only soak part of the jean to have only one section shrink back to size until I soak the whole pair?

Yes and maybe. You can soak a jeans only partially to "adjust" the fit of a certain part. Most people do this for the top block to get the waist back in. As long as you just hot soak without detergent and agitation, you will loose very little indigo.

I don't know how well this works for the shrinking of knee bags...:confused:

Somebody posted a few pages back suggesting to put a towel inside the leg behind the knee and spraying the knee or getting it wet somehow so just the knee bulge shrinks

dont really want to go through 240+pages, so i figured i would ask...

Is there any place where i can get swatches of denim that i could use for repairs. I bought 19oz samurais and they will be needing repairs eventually. Can i get my hands on some pieces directly from samurai? what other options do i have, other than buying some cheapo raw denim (rustlers) and cutting them up...Thanks guys..

[emixam]

Has anyone ordered form Brownsfashion online ? Damn that is slow, it `is been 4 days and I still haven`t received my confirmation email, plus they don`t reply my emails ! Anyone in the same situation ?

[sleazie ninja number 47]

the SZ recent purchases thread has pretty much turned into brownsfashionsucksafatdick discussion as of late. basically, the website has not been taking down already sold out items. Seems like a very inefficient system. In my experience, I don't think Ive ever received an email reply from them EVER. Probably better off calling them.

Just looking for some sizing advice for lvc 1947 501. I wear a 29" in new standards and my waist, where my jeans sit, measures 32". Should i buy a 32" or 33" in the lvc for a decent fit which wont kill my hips ?

You can contact Samurai through their website, or you can ask Toshiko of Samurai directly on this forum. She moderates the Samurai threads. You could always ask Gordon at Blue in Green if he has any extra scraps as well.

Normally the place you bought them from will be able to properly patch them up, and should do so at no cost to you.. take em back to where you bought them from.

Blue in Green charges for repairs on jeans they sell. Since he has samurais I suspect you are wrong here. Gordon has huge piles of scrap denim though, he may be able to find you a good/perfect match easily.

Really? I thought repairs were free there..

Odd.

I paid $25 for a crotch repair (denim nearly worn through, seam was fine) in November on a pair of PBJ XX-007s I got from them.

[GiZMO]

Is there any way to counter crazy knees? The only pair of denim I have put a lot of wear into sag, hard, and they have developed the poking out knee thing, does this also happen with jeans that fit properly?

[fearitself]

I just got the sizing wrong on some diors I bought and I am selling them, what is a reasonable price to expect.

Only tried on Black Raw MII 19cm Size 30 (in sig)

Just don't charge more than you paid

edit: lower your price.

How does a FH f310's cut compare to a Skull 5010xx 6x6 of the same size?

[driftingdunk]

Thanks again Gimme, and theetruscan... I will contact BiG...

They have both on selfedge.com so you can check this sizes, and the skulls are slimmer all around

The 47 LVC are shrink to fit, run true to size and sometimes a bit smaller. So for instance, I bought 32 X 34 which shrank to 30X32 after a hot soak. i'd recommend going up 1 or 2 from your waist size.

can anyone recommend a cheap alternative to pjb xx-005? (except with a lower back rise)
