Guys... I've seen lightning bolts on the back pockets of jeans. Do you know any jeans that have these? Otherwise, could I take it to a place and get it embroidered on? I personally think it's cool.

[lilodxd]

^^ levi's fenom?

[fg0d]

Yeah, I saw them but they look like they're ugly. With random zippers and stuff, I just need a basic pair.

[tweeds]

Guitar Wolf (Dry Bones) jeans?

[fg0d]

The fit looks odd. Haha, sorry for being so picky.

Guitar Wolf (Dry Bones) jeans?

Can the Guitar Wolf jeans be found in north america?

[gimmegimme]

If you're fussy you might just wanna take a favourite pair to the tailor and ask if they can embroider them for you....as you mentioned. Or you could always purchase a commercial embroidery machine, have an artist design something, and the put it on the ass of your made-to-measure jeans.

Nope, Japan only

thanks gimmegimme

Now.. I just need to find an european friend.

[gimmegimme]

Does Zoovillage offer shipping to the states ? How much is conversion fee usually ?

Seems like they don't, someone confirm please.

I've already sent email, asking.

Says in their FAQ:

Can anyone shop at Zoovillage?

No. You have to be a member (become one here), over 18 years of age and live in Europe.

Didn't take pictures of it before, because didn't have the camera at the time but the outline with shoelaces is the original size of the jeans, this is how much it shrunk:

If anybody got's any new nifty ideas to shrink. comments please.

Um. I'm actually shrinking them for my girlfriend because she bought the smallest size for geishas and the overall cut for those jeans are horrible for women and Kiya gave her a discount to buy the geishas so we're just messing around with the jeans. We already shrunk it 2 inches overall (thighs, calves, rise, wasit) and we're just trying to get it a good 1-2 more inches and then content. So no at selling.

how would it mess up your "results"...?

[Begåvningsreserven]

when sewing the inseam is the overlocking and double chain stitching made in one single operation by one serger? (5-thread serger?) or is the OL and CS made in two separate parts by the same machine or on two different machines alltogheter?

[gimmegimme]

anyone? i know cm makes a pair of acid wash but they are way too fucking high

Cheap Monday make lots of "novelty"-like jeans...not sure about acid wash, but they have lots of 80's finished.

[naturaljax]

what are the inseams on Levi's '47 raw?

36"? how much do they shrink post-soak / wash & will pulling the denim while they're wet help keep the length?

cheers!

[PG2G]

The 47 comes in different inseams, up to 38" I believe. Probably don't come that long for each waist size though. Don't own them, so can't tell you how much they shrink. According to the Levi's website, its 3-4 inches.

[naturaljax]

My waist size is probably going to be about a 30 - 32" so I'll probably have to call down to the flagship in SF to get an inseam that long.

Hopefully I can find them that long, though.

1. Why are Samurai jeans so popular? What sets them apart in terms of quality, fit, appearance?

2. How much do sanforized jeans shrink in the inseam? Let's assume you machine cold wash once every three or four months, after one year? Let's say you wear them one day a week.

3. What casual shoes work best with slim fit and skinny fit jeans? Chucks? Vans? Others?

I've bought a pair of very fitted Levi's 527's. The wash is a very light blue, almost baby blue. I remember reading somewhere that darker denim is more appropriate for fall and winter, whereas lighter blue denim is more appropriate for warmer months. Does anyone subscribe to this theory?

Also, while the 527's are a very light blue wash, it is not destroyed. I'm thinking of scuffing them up for a destroyed look. Is this look "out," or are people still wearing this type of style?

Good quality and the appearance/fit would depend on the model.

2. How much do sanforized jeans shrink in the inseam? Let's assume you machine cold wash once every three or four months, after one year? Let's say you wear them one day a week.

Sanforized should not shrink much from very little to nonexistant.

3. What casual shoes work best with slim fit and skinny fit jeans? Chucks? Vans? Others?

IMO, it matters on the cut of jeans but typically I just wear chukkas.

and to the theory, i think that is false.

[springbag34]

any help at all? thanks in any case.

[Ahlvahroe]

i think samurais are also popular cause they are fairly easy to come by. from what everyone says its like they just email and order without much trouble

[PG2G]

Samurai is also one of the few brands that have a decent inseam

[joshua]

Does anybody have any idea how much the 17 oz left twill denim of the Samurai S0110XJ

will stretch?

[i5tioneyes]

i would think so...they aren't dirty or anything, no?

also, if you observe the water turning yellow, that would be the sizing (starch) in the denim from the manufacturing process.
