thanks for the quick replies Superstar, with your fast responses, I've been gigging out:

[Superstar]

indigo will definetly come out of those...

about the wash, maybe its the fact that the jeans have been dark blue dyed and then washed afterwards... but im totally not sure about that...

Any thoughts on the SD-103 and stretching?

[ericdw]

I've been tryin to hunt down some info about these.

I know there's a prewash selvedge, but is there gonna be a dry selvedge?

Any NY/Philly stores have them stocked yet? Any US webstores?

Thanks

my 30 one wash have gone from EXACTLY 30" to 30.5", and that's after a bunch of wear (months).

[Guest jeffvyain]

hopefully someone can answer me this:

my washer has a strong tendency to twist the living shit out of one pant leg every time i wash my jeans. this has happened 3 times with my samurais (thankfully no damage done to them) and now twice with my APCs. This past time, i forgot to turn my APCs inside out, and the washer twisted them so hard it looked like when you wring a towel out, and i ended up with a thin line down the left leg. kind of a bummer. i know every washer is different, but is there some sort of consistant setting that doesn't result in the washer twisting like a fuckin tornado and fucking up my jeans? i always pull them out before the spin cycle, but it's just the regular washing that's doing it.

[snugglepony]

this is probably something you've already thought of...

but does your washer have a "gentle" or "handwash" cycle?

are you putting the jeans in by themselves? or with other clothes?

I have a simple question...

I have a pair of nudie slim jim's and was wondering what other types of brands have the same fit. I like sturdy/heavy denim. Any help would be nice.

Where can I get APC in LA? Every place seems to be out of stock in a 30 or 29. I plan on ordering from denim bar, but want to try on first.

Also, does anyone know where to get Nudie cheap. I want to get some selvedge, but everyone says you can get them cheaper than the normal 250ish price tag.

thanks

[snugglepony]

you won't find nudie selvage cheap, really, unless you buy used.

www.cultizm.com for nudies under 200

[BTT]

Er. Theres alot of sites that have nudies under 200, so I dont know what snuggle is talking about. I think any nudies over 220 is mad overpriced

cheapest i've seen selvage nudies online is for about $170~ plus international shipping (from kitchener). i guess i don't consider that "cheap," especially considering you can get APCs for just over $110 shipped domestically.

out of curiousity -- where have you seen selvage nudies cheaper?

...but nudies>apc's....

[snugglepony]

...but nudies>apc's....

i think you'd find plenty of people on this board to argue otherwise... (not me, though - i dunna give a fuck )

[Dick Danger]

I'll argue....

Ok, despite previously thinking to myself I was done with the look, I really want a new pair of skinny jeans now, especially with warmer weather coming where it's easier to rock the look with just a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt. I just measured my waist line where I normally wear my jeans. My waist where I wear my jeans (not my true waist) is a 32,my thighs are between 18-19 inches, and my calves are 14 inches. What brand should I be looking at here? I already have Cures from APC, but I'd like something new. I like the look of April 77s but I don't know if I could fit into them or not. Advice please?

[Dick Danger]

post a pic waist down wearing just underwear to give us an idea about what we're working with

[barnstormer]

I can't tell if you're kidding or not but I don't know if I'm ready to post a photo of myself wearing boxer brief on the internet. Besides my camera is out of comission for a while, I can borrow another one tomorrow if it really comes down to it.

The only pic I have is of me wearing a pair of Earnest Sewn Fultons size 29/34, it's really shitty quality though so I'm sorry in advance

[Guest MdJesus77]

hey, i got a question about sizing for cheap mondays regular dry blacks, i heard that the waist runs fairly big, and im a 29, 32 in levis 514 slim straights, so, would i be a 26 or 27 waist in cheap mondays?

[Dick Danger]

I never know either.

any other brands that fit like nudie slim jims???

[MilSpex]

Q: What is the LVC or repro model with the highest seat rise? LVC 501XX 1944? thanks in advance.

[chronoaug]

Anyone know of the difference between the old cures and the new cures?

Also, are there places to buy apc hipsters and old cures besides apc.fr? Denimbar doesn't happen to carry them do they? I know the hipsters are pretty similar to the new standards but with a much lower rise(girl jeans), and the old cures look much fuller than the new cures. Is there really a difference between new/old cure and new standard?

[brozek]

Just got these Cheap Mondays from a Supermarket sale - keep or resell? They're the skinniest jeans I own, and I think they look a little ridiculous on my thighs and calves. Maybe I just don't have the right body for this cut. They're 2% something-that's-stretchy, so they won't stretch permanently.

Aaaand here's a giant picture of my tuckus -

[Dick Danger]

Well, if I was gay I don't think I'd hit on you wearing those.

[brozek]

Well, if I was gay I don't think I'd hit on you wearing those.

Because they convey secureness in my heterosexuality? You'd hit on me anyway, cutie-pie.

hey, i got a question about sizing for cheap mondays regular dry blacks, i heard that the waist runs fairly big, and im a 29, 32 in levis 514 slim straights, so, would i be a 26 or 27 waist in cheap mondays?

i dont know about all that. if you normally wear a 29 the lowest i'd go is 28. I normally wear 30s but got 31w cheap monday dry blacks and with a belt its fine, so i dont think that they run big at all

[PG2G]

brozek, I definitely wouldn't wear those. If i didn't see your man arms, I could picture some chick wearing those with heels...

[rainmaker]

my 30 one wash have gone from EXACTLY 30" to 30.5", and that's after a bunch of wear (months).

Thanks dude . Did it stretch any differently elsewhere? I'm guessing not, since in my experience the waist typically stretches as much as anywhere, but you never know..
