apc ns

sanforized?

any reason to soak?

A haiku:

Get your new jeans wet

what is the point, you goofball?

they wont shrink at all

[tonee]

so soaking the nudies would help it not bleed as much right? any suggestions on drying it? i have already soaked it. it is now hang drying. could i possibly stick the nudies in the dryer with just air drying? ( spinning with just air ) would that help or would that just make things wosrt? please give me suggestions on drying nudies SSKS

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

Anyone? Any help appreciated... Brick and mortar stores in Japan?

[fallen angels]

to make my question simple, can someone comment on how SD'A jeans (specifically ones with the SD-103 silhouette) measure when raw, and how they shrink and stretch?

i'm guessing they shrink to tag size, and then stretch a little. the reason i ask is because I'm wondering if i can go one size down from my normal size because I've lost some weight recently and want a good fit. thanks

[Sonic_Grind]

the search funtion is not working for me. I just bought my first pair of "real" jeans apc new cures and sized down 2" I just want to know if I need to soak them and if so how. Thanks.

[harvardpark617]

hey guys, im real new at this jazz

but ive got a couple of questions.

- what is a good jean company with lots of whiskers?

- where can i buy prps jeans online?

[truestorytravis]

fallen angels. you've got it right about the shrinking and stretching. i sized down 1 from a 34 which is my normal waist size. the 33 was quite tight at first and has stretched to a comfortable but relatively slim fit over about 5-6 months. most people have said that the sd103 does not stretch as much as most other jeans and i'd have to agree, but as long as you can get them on after the soak, you'll be fine. i love my 103s and highly recommend them.

edit: i should mention i have the standard 103s and not the xx, lefty denim, etc.

[fallen angels]

perfect advise travis, i'm also usually a 34 and i'm considering getting a 33. sounds like a plan thats good to go. thanks.

[Superstar]

SD-103's one wash....

WASHED or SOAKED ?

a soak i mean 3 hours in a hot-water bathtub

a wash, washed either with hand or by machine--

[Louis]

i dont have time to take a picture of this right now since im going to leave for school soon but does anyone get their flap of the button fly openning? and if that happens why is it happening? because these arent tight in the waist area theyre pretty snug but not tight.

[superBobo]

Does anyone have some super ideas about preserving inseam lenght after soak? Pulling it is a no-brainer, but how to get it even, and as much as possible?

[Tob]

Hello superfuture.

the issue of apc new standard sizing must have been the most discussed one on this site. So if you dont feel like answering, don't, because I feel im pretty safe with a 30 after reading most of the apc thread. however, I think i should add it just to be sure.

Will a size 30 new standard jean give me approximately a 32 inch waist measured when laid flat and doubled?

The more important question is where can i get these jeans the cheapest online or in the Netherlands/Germany(cologne bonn area). On the apc site the larger sizes are all sold out. I heard denimbar has a good deal but I'm not sure if they ship overseas.

Thanks,

tobi

are edwin Blue trip denim selvedge?

[Gd Up]

this may sound stupid but here goes... if i wash my jeans (that were distressed/washed when i bought them) will anything change about them (color change/shrinkage ect.)? and how should i dry them?

jeans will always lose indigo over time (and wash, and wear), and they'll always shrink up a little after washing and drying.

whether jeans are distressed/washed or raw: always wash inside-out, always hang dry.

Ok sorry I know I've read the answer to this some where, but search is borked for me

Okay I have a pair of 8 month APC's , "Regular" level of usage as a student. Heavy fishnet/honey combs and bum fading and knee spot fades. And some belt area fades. Acceptable considering I don't do anything physical.

HOWEVER , I soaked em and they didn't lose color. So a week later I washed them in the machine on warm/gentle. HOWEVER I used a load's worth of Woolite Black/Noir, that anti fading stuff. My jeans look actually...darker..possibly..? Some of the fades aren't as defined now. I think that wash actually made them darker. Anyone have suggestions to "Busting" out jeans in a short amount of time, and what kinda wash should I do to make a HEAVY impact. Like make em lose at least 2-5 shades of color. So when I pull it out of the washer, it's like "Whoa.."

[BTT]

^ If you are really looking to just straight out color change it, then get some regular detergent or something (shout? bleache in detergent)

[Tyro1]

Searched, and read through the forums to no avail...

I remember reading that people have stretched the inseams of their jeans, when wet, by hanging weights off them etc.

I washed my new standards an the inseam is now just a little too short, no more than an inch, but I want to wash them again and stretch the hell out of them to make them longer. I understand the principal, but am curious about the technique?

What techniques of stretching, hanging weights off, lengthening have you guys heard of / tried?

How do you secure the weight to the bottom of the leg, and top of the jeans?

Cheers

yeah use a little bit of bleach in your wash and wash it on the most heavy duty spinning and dont use woolite black.

Do Cheap Mondays not fade that well, or is it just a coincidence that I've never seen a pair in the Evolution thread?

[skcusdog]

i don't like how they feel, and i don't believe that they can quite stay the course...

Hi

im a noob to superfuture....just wondering if there's a thread out there that gives sizing/fit information for various denim brands

for instance, the edwin nashvilles...how straight and slim are they compared to say nudie straight svens or earnest sewn fultons?

precise measurements would be extremely helpful too! thanks

[snugglepony]

there's no grand superfuture jean size matrix, if that's what you're asking (but how nice would that be, huh?)...

best plan is to measure the jeans that you have, then contact sellers directly and ask for measurements to compare.

how slim are pbj XX-003? and any idea where i can cop a pair?

[CTfunk]

Question: I was looking at some jeans today, but didn't know what the brand was, it didn't have a tag anywhere to indicate the brand. However, it did have some printing on the pocket liner, what appears to be some type of a story, and the title was "James The Third", the story then goes on to instruct the owner how to take care of the jeans.

Can someone tell me what these jeans are?

Thanks in Advance.

im 6ft 155lbs and just got my Samurai S710 19oz, size 30w s710s, THEY ARE FUCKING TIGHT! i can barely sit down, button them(partly due to the super-tough/thick denim), and trying to get my hands into the front pockets is a lost cause

these are my first serious japanese, heavyweight, no-nonsense jeans

Question:should i wear them to soak to prevent them from shrinking to the point i cant even fit into them? what about after a wash? should i return them and size up 1? i may just be paranoid, but seeing as how thick and armour like they are, im not sure how much/easily theyll stretch out, or if theyll fit after a wash at all :confused:

[schmallo15]

are edwin Blue trip denim selvedge?

for the japanese line, anything that says 505 is selvage. the rest are not. for instance, i have the one wash 503 blue trip which is not selvage.

[chronoaug]

Crate jeans, the style is James. They are dry jeans usually at barneys that is fitted slim through the thighs with a very slight bootcut. Pretty decent jeans when you can get them on sale. There are a couple people on the forum and on the other sf with them and most seem to like them.

I just got a pair of prps purple selvage jeans. Absolutely love em. But the leather patch looks a little dull. Was wondering if I could add alitle oil to these to make em look better. I hear its only good for real leather and not suede or anything so i wanted to confirm that the prps jeans had real leather patches.

http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=17026&page=3

I really like the look on the oiled patches.

So what product should I use? Some are saying that mink oil is bad and some say its fine.

also anyone know what weight denim is the prps purple selvage? They feel kinda light.
