really? I thought the contests were just check out what my fades look like a year from now, but I guess I could imagine some people would take it pretty seriously. Id like to see someone who goes hiking and climbing all the time.

i think if you really active everyday then your jeans will fade faster than someone he sits at a desk everyday. if your really looking for fast fading jeans why dont you look into predistressed pairs. eternal and 45rpm make really nice pairs.

I have a pair of Dior 19cm that have stretched a good 3-3.5" in barely the 3months I've had them and I need to size them down if I'm to continue wearing them. Now obviously color loss needs to be a minimum but will the jeans more by soaking in hot water or will cool water be sufficient?

if you sized down two like is recommended by a lot of people on this board then you should be fine. if not then you might have bought a size too big and might want to look into sell them now and resize before you put anymore wear on them

[chantheman]

slubbier?..pbj/oni blue's/811's?

thx:p

onis then pbj and then eternal which isnt slubby at all

Ande Whall Rakers are coming in soon,

Ill be wearing these hard and want the highest contrast i can get in whiskers, stacks, and honeycombs,

So, as for my preemptive soak,

Ive heard hot soak while wearing them, and wear them as the dry to get solid creases.

Would this be the best course of action?

If not, im all ears :]

Thanks!

[selaviso]

thats what i do but if i want full shrinkage out of a pair of jeans i just soak them by themselves or throw them in the washer on hot. and are the whall's unsanfordized? if they are sandfordized there is no need to soak.

[Lawl.]

Theyre sanforized.

Alright,

i guess ill just wear em right off the bat!

Thanks

[Junksen]

Hang them outside or gently soak them

[Opie]

Get a pair. They look nice and no one has them.

Grab life by the throat and yell:

"YAAAAARRRRRRGH!!!!"

Be a pioner. Step where no Superfuturean has ever put his foot!

THE WORLD IS YOUR!

hmmmm, if you have the 50 bucks to spare, then sure. i wouldn't care that much though.

Quick question about Lee repro sizing.

I'm interested in a 101 '36 and if the chart from the following link is right I should be fine.

But I'd like confirmation about the inseam. Since they're sanforized they shouldn't shrink much.

Here is the link.

I made a pair of jeans for school using a very dark denim......I want to distress the denim before i turn them in.......Whats the fastest way to fade a dark denim.....and by fast i mean 2 days lol, if there's a method

[Ozone]

Bleach and sandpaper.

[juanpeezee]

cool...i did the sandpaper....now do you think i should soak in water + a small amount of bleach?

[Ozone]

be very carefull use gloves, put in a capfull of bleach and dont soak for too long otherwise it will rot the fabric, and rince well, it all depends on the look you want really.

have you googled it?

Does Nudie offer a cut that is similar to APC NS?

Super quick question everyone!

I want to reinforce the crotch on my Skulls since I do alot of skating, just to help do a little bit of prevention of a blowout in the future, so is there anyway I can do this that would actually make a difference?

Thanks in advance!

[stunna7516]

I am selling my New Standards cause they are a bit too slim for me... anything I should consider other than 21cm or APC Rescues if I want a slimmer straight leg?

flat head f310's would definitely be worth looking at.

[snuff_daddy]

whats the best way to get rid of combs on my jeans...i bought a used pair of NDG grey dry jeans and the prev owner is taller then me so now i have his combs on my calfs...theyre light though but look kinda iffy

how would i get them out or make them lighter w/o soaking or washing...?? unless thats the only way

[Hulk]

If they dont have a lot of wear you could iron them out I think.. spray a little water over them first

[stunna7516]

I meant a straight leg that is slim... meaning not a baggy straight leg, but not going for the tapered look. I did not mean a straight leg that is a slimmer than the NS, obviously.
