ok just a question about my USAs....they fit great on my waist..maybe a little tight...but i still want them a bit more fitted everywhere else..

would u advise against soaking everything but the waist..so i don't see it size down pretty much like 2 sizes down like other people in this thread??...only reason i'm not doing the hanger trick...a hanger will be too small for a sz 38 jean

as well is there any difference from soaking in a hot tub like stretched out or in like my laundry faucet where it's folded up in a small tub??...thanks b/c i just don't want my hot tub to be stained with indigo..

I'm too small for sz 25 new standards! Any jeans with similar quality and fit that would fit me? I'm about 5'4" and 105 pounds, pretty small frame.

I think Somet makes a size 26...the problem with APC is that they stretch 2 sizes, so you'd have to size down 2. Do you know your waist measurement?

im looking at picking up this chain and was wondering what would be the best way to fasten this to my belt loop. I think the current clasp on it will fit around a belt loop but it wont be able to rotate much. as you can see i dont know much at all about this kind of stuff so i dont know what kind of options there are in terms of attachments.

I think I'm a true 27-28. When I tried the size 25 NS they fit a bit too large, plus the stretch I definitely can't wear it. I tried 25 NC as well it fit just right, so plus stretch it's not possible to wear either.. I tried 28 skull 5010xx and they fit on the waist well, but I don't really like the fit on those.

Easy way would be to attach an O-ring to your belt loop and then hook the chain onto there OR you can pick up a belt loop attacher (for lack of better words) and hang it off your belt.

i have a pair of raw selvage denim thats made of 45%hemp and 55% cotton (from levis redline)

should i b worried about anything when it comes to wear of the jeans (durability in particular idk how durable hemp fiber is), how the fades will come out, what will happen if i soak?

i can tell you.. the warp threads are the cotton but the weft is hemp, so wearing gives a rough feeling, and these things are STIFF...

anyone have experience with this kind of denim?

If they're Levi's, they're probably sanforized, so soaking won't do anything other than take some of the starch out if the stiffness is bothering you.

I have no experience with hemp denim, but I don't think you have to do anything different than with a normal pair of jeans. Wear & enjoy.

Does anyone know a place that I can order selvage denim on line or someone that is a distributor of selvage denim fabric, preferably Japanese?
