[Mr HaGa]

Could someone recommend some fashionable slim, tapered, BLACK jeans? Not going for a repro look.

I'm aware of the Dior MIJ, Sam 710 BK. Dior's are perfect but they are $400? and Sam's aren't so fashionable/too heavy. I really like the PBJ 007's but they don't come in black. Can anyone suggest some alternatives??

The pbj007 is the same cut as the 005 but with a dyed weft. The 005 does come in bk, but isn't very tapered.

Check out Skulls, TFH, and I think 3sixteen just came out with a very nice bk. APC NS comes in black, as do plenty of Nudiezzz if you're into that.

[beatle]

I don't think that the 007 and the 005 are the same cut...

005 has way bigger leg opening and shorter rise..

compare xx005

xx007

[Mr HaGa]

^My bad. I must have been thinking of that purple one... xx-010

[beatle]

Yeah - them and the 007 are the same cut...it's a confusing denim world***

Does anyone have a recommendation for a pair of jeans with a 7.5 inch hem on a size 32 waist?

[benz5521]

I have a pair of Samurai 5000bk's in a 34 that fit good after a warm soak and hang dry. Should I go for 34's or 36's in Ironheart 634s'? I'm not looking for the smallest fit possible.

anyone know what denim you could compare pherrow's denim to? Been liking the look lately.

[beatle]

so why not get a pair of pherrow's and find out ?

[wahwho11]

Right now, it's more of building interest on it since I'm on a pair of 811's.

[glimmertwins]

Can anyone ID the shoes on the left? Supposedly a pair of Aldens from the Lakota House Aging Gallery. Doesn't look like a pair of Aldens I have seen though. Some sort of Indy? Maybe the better question is where would I go about getting these?

thanks for the recommendation!

i might just go with the pbj 007 (fear it looks like i'm wearing navy blue dickies)

and maybe get a pair of the black slim skulls too.

What happen to OWN Magazine online store? They were cheap and good!

[GoodSamaritan]

Does soaking intensify combs? Ive seen some peoples combs look a lot better after soaks.

[AdrianLee]

Is it possible to reduce saddle fade? My pair of iron hearts already has some fading in the saddle area and I've only ridden my bike out twice since I've bought them... my friend's imperials have very little saddle fade even though he rides his bike on a somewhat regular basis.

[laughter95]

What is your preference? Black or blue denim?

Blue might be more interesting, while black may go with more clothes.

What do you all think?

anyone know what denim you could compare pherrow's denim to? Been liking the look lately.

pherrows denim is like a cross between samurai 15oz denim non texas cotton with the steam locomotive denim.. very nice special and fades really nice too very vintage like

[VY Canis Majoris]

VY Canis Majoris,

Try Samurai 0505XX2.

Those are pretty much exactly what I was looking for, other than the zipper fly, but I don't mind that so much. Thank you.

Does anyone know where to find replacements buckles for buckle back jeans? My Lee buckle broke and I would like to find a more substantial one with actual functioning prongs.

[erk]

that's brilliant! thanks a ton! good find.

[donkeykong123]

in terms of durability, which pair will last longer, texas cotton or the cotton used in the s710?

i dont wear my jeans hard, just for casual wear

[tombster]

Someone advise me on a good pair of denim I should rock for a looser fit, I guess like a Regular Ralf, but not Nudie. Less than $170 if possible.

[fffffut]

maybe you could try apc ns or rescue?

[fffffut]

where do you measure your waist for denim? i can't find a straight answer for this question

i assume it's around where you wear them but i just want to be sure because mine measured there is way bigger than my pants size

[craiggg]

i measure where i wear them, whats the point in measureing round your belly button when you aren't going to wear them there.. it makes just as little sense to me as measuring your neck size and trying to go from that.

"Take a pair of your jeans that fits tight around your waist, button them all the way up, lay them flat on the ground, measure the waistband, double the number, take that number and subtract one number from it, that is your size in Japanese denim." - kiya
