i guess you could just go and reinforce the edges of the hole with denim on the inside if you don't want to put a patch over it... but it'd probably look better with a patch.

A few questions

1. What's the most comparable cut in Nudies to APC new standards? slim jims?

2. If I wear a 29 in the apc ns, should I go 30 or 31 on the nudies?

3. Where can I pick up some non raw edwin's online?

4. Which edwin cuts are slim/skinny/ cut like the new standards?

5. How should I size myself compared to the NS in edwins?

6. Which Levi's cut is most comparable to the new standards?

thanks.

[deeb]

Has anyone heard anything about Hugo Boss jeans or denim?

thanks

[khoiphan92]

can you tell what year your levi 501's are by looking at the leather patch?

mine say 1873

[airportlobbytx]

Can anyone fill me in on the difference between APC Cures and New Cures? Specifically - has anyone had both, and if so are the tag sizes comparable (do you wear the same tag size in each)? Thanks.

[poly800rock]

i believe the difference is in the rise. new cure is lower rise compared to old cure. iirc what the lady at APC told me.

[airportlobbytx]

Thanks, Poly - sorry I saw you responsed on the APC thread as well - I'm thinking of ordering a pair of Cures and wondering how I should guage the waist. Some APCs I've bought that were older were actually true to size or even smaller than the tag size.

[weirdnjfan1]

I'm getting ready to soak my jeans for the second time, and I need to know what will shrink them better, warm or cold water. Also how long should I let them sit in water for? If you must know, I'm doing it in the wash machine.

[keri]

the hotter the water, the more they will shrink. you can use the washing machine, but a tub or a kitchen sink is just as easy, and wastes less water.

Where Can I Get Imperial Dukes???

[thelion1856]

so i been searching this site for a yoox .com coupon code. Anyone got an active code? Or can someone upload a code when you find one.

I searched but all the coupons have expiered. Maybe someone knows a new one or something. Anyways thanks if you can help me here.

[poly800rock]

Where Can I Get Imperial Dukes???

selfedge and i think context both carry imperial, ring them up.

[tnf1029]

and 90 minutes is a good start on a soak. it varies though. samurai denim will need more than apc, because its heavier/slubbier. slubby means bumpy and unprocessed, made on a shuttle loom.

APC are sanforized they don't need any soak!!!

[GregNYC]

GregNYC There are some jeans like you are talking about, check out skulls at fabfour.co.jp

also, you might wanna try your hand at overdying raws on your own, give it a touch of DIY.

Thanks! Those skulls do look dark enough. Kinda shiny in the photo. I wonder if they can be ordered in the West...

Other black jeans I have include Carhartts and 501s. They could use some DIY dying. Maybe I'll go for some RIT!

I wore some raw indigo LVC 1955s to work the other day and didn't get busted!

[mizanation]

quick question. are japanese converse all-stars different from u.s. all-stars? when i was in japan, it just seemed like the chucks they were wearing were more "fitted" than the ones we wear in the u.s. or am i just nuts?

[rh3522]

how do i get rid of my camel toe folds???? i've tried a warm soak for 5 hours and alll that did was get rid of my honeycombs!

[mike lowrey]

whoa how the heck did you get those?

thought abotu washing them? might get man-splatter off too.

[999misscalls]

does all natural dye will have a greenish fade?

for example, SD-D01 is using natural dye but as i can see it's very much blue, does it means that it'll have greenish fade after few washes?

unlike the veggie dye for nudies or sc40500, they have a greenish tone when they're still raw

[blank]

this is a great thread for people like me who are learning learning learning

here's another question

i'm wearing nudie ralfs and loving them. what's a similar, modern fit? i.e. APC and LVC offer really high rises, i'm intersted in a low to medium rise, slim yet relaxed jean like the RRDS, but maybe without the bootcut.

skulls? pure blues?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

it has been said that imperial dukes are a lot like RRDS

but better
