You have to give specific examples.

ok, heres one example: http://blueingreensoho.com/site/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=23&category_id=11&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=28

the tag is a 30, but the waist measures 32.5. so in this case, would i have shrink them before wear to get a size 30 fit?

I've been searching around but so far no dice - does anyone know a store that has the sugarcane SC40400 in size 38? Thanks!

Yes, you soak them and they will shrink to tagged size (30)

In your first post you said that the tag was bigger than the waist and that confused me a little.

[Franklin]

oh sorry, i was confused myself bout the whole thing lol.

but thanx alot

After your initial wash on a pair of raw denim do you loose all of your creases? All of the honeycomb/whisker folds will be gone? If you start wearing them again will creases form in different locations or will they form exactly on the previous folds?

Also...

I'm looking to pick up a pair of APC but not sure which style to go with....

Which one of the APC styles has a cut closest to the new levis stf 501xx?

I've read in the APC thread that APC tends to have a much lower rise, however, what Im trying to figure out is whether New standards will be too slim and rescues too baggy. I personally feel that the STF cut is good since I have big thighs, however I wouldn't want anything baggier.

Sorry if these answers have been posted...tried searching but nothing...don't really wanna skim though 41 pages of questions

[Franklin]

if u wash ur jeans without puttin enough wear on them, depending on the jeans too, the creases might shift. but i was told after 2 months ur good to go.

also, if u want like a stf fit, size down 2 sizes on the new standards, for a tight fit, go down 3 sizes from your true waist(not what u normally wear but wats ur actualy size, and how high/low u wear ur jeans). rescues are looser in the butt and thigh area and bigger at the knee and leg opening

[abstraktgeformt]

1) Which is the loosest fit Samurai model? (or the one that resembles 55 fit the most please)

It seems to me that 510 is the loosest fit, but I'm not really sure. BiG lists the 510 as relaxed fit but the 510 19oz as regular fit, which is kinda confusing...

[Felix]

if you buy the 510 19oz a little oversized they are very loose

now the all-important question...what sort of premium denim are you looking for?

[ericdw]

i just got a pair of nudie SJD and the denim is reallly soft. not stiff at all. i'm kinda disappointed in this. is this normal for the slim jim dry?

[MicroOutlook]

Does anyone know if the Nudie Straight Sven Flame Selvage (limited edition are dry or one-wash). This is the denim that is really streaky.

thanks

[Skov]

Still trying to decide between APC NS, Cure and NC.. Anybody got measurements of the legopenings? in a say a size 30 - or really the size is indifferent in this matter really as long as I know not to compare directly if the size differs. Thanks

[BTT]

^ in a size 32, NS's leg opening = 16. NC's leg opening = 15

and i dont have the one for cures.

Is it possible to shrink any type of denim, i.e. non - raw denim ( is this the correct phrase ). I have several denim items tht are too big and would like to get a better fit.

Any suggestions?

[FromCAtoCO]

What levis (dry) fit like rrds?

Boil them. Women on honestforum have had some success with this... I kid you not. Or just get them altered.

[blm14]

Closest would probably be the 646 tapered in a little bit

[evisu 2000]

has anyone noticed their creases on different jeans are almost exactly the same? i mean obviously depending on the fit they vary but i realized i'm getting the exact same folds in the exact same places!

[Guest Berget__]

Whats the cheapest place to get vans? Are zappos the cheapest? Im looking for these two models.

i don't know if they are dry or one-wash, but i do know that mine did not shrink when i soaked them. i think they are sanforized, so either way they won't shrink.

So I did searchaand got mixed answers. How exactly does iron effect your jeans. Does it make a difference in how they fade later?

I'm asking cuz i just ordered the raw purple selvage from prps and they looked pretty wrinkled up and so i was thinking about ironing them out. btw, I know they're suppose to some that way.

[tonee]

So my nudies ssks are starting to bleed on my sb dunks and is there anyway i can save my shoes from the bleeding? would soaking the ssks help ? i really need to make them stop bleeding. ive had them for about 3 weeks.

Soak them shits. Then get some new laces.

any reason to soak?

it's debatable, but i soak everything...

sanforization stems most shrinkage, but not all.

EDIT: a nice warm soak will also remove most of the chemical sizing applied to your denim during manufacturing.

go nuts ironing your jeans, it will make no difference. just make sure that you don't use steam. jeans are ironed like crazy during production.

sanforised yes

no reason to soak, any shrinkage during washes in future will be restretched out as per normal in a matter of half-a-days
