It seems I got the same fake Denime as you Largo. But I'm actually pleased they look really nice

What's the leg opening on the LVC 1967 505 jeans? (for a size 30)

[theLorax]

how do nudie regular alfs fit? i got my apc ns in a tagged 32, which is 33 measured.

They're quite a bit more relaxed than APC NS. And they have a very slight bootcut. You'll want to size down one or two if you want slim fitting Alfs. If you dont mind them relaxed, get your normal size.

what are the "arcs and tabs" when people are talking about flathead denim?

also, i heard dior denim looks awkward on anyone under 6ft, any truth to this?

arc is simply the backpocket stitching.

Tab is the red tab that's located at your right back pocket. Most brands removed it, because of Levi's.....

I think Dior 21cm should look find on 6-ft-ers. But again, i'm not past 6ft and don't own a pair.

I'm a 31 in slim jims and just ordered some acne mic blacktrash in a 31. They are fucking skin tight on my ass. Did I screw up with sizing?

thanks lorax and bonanz, but the thing i want to know is if the tagged size on ralfs is its actual measurements.

because i'm between 33-34, and if a tagged ralf measures a 33, then i'll be getting that. so that's all i really need confirmed. does anyone know?

[bonanz]

^get the 33 they'll stretch and be good.

so i found a pair of Lee jeans at work today. they have a leather patch. when did lee stop using the thick leather patches on their jeans? trying to figure out how old they are.

I've been wanting a pair of Flat Head 3001 for a while, but I'm worried they won't fit my large frame. Does anyone have post-soak measurements for w34 3001's? Or if anyone owns some sd-103's or KMW 1980's as well as 3001's, maybe they could compare them. My sd-103's in w33 are quite slim from the waist to the knee, but I want something that tapers more from the knee down. The KMW 1980's are overall slighlty looser than the SDA's. Thanks in advance.

yes, the tagged size is accurate. it will be the waist size its tagged.

just be aware that over time it will stretch an inch, after a year or two maybe even 2 inches. though they will shrink back after the wash.

hello, i'm about 150 lbs, medium build, and i just bought a pair of samurai s5000's in a 29. they were already tight in the waist presoak, but ok everywhere else. should i size up to a 30 or a 31 for a regular fit aftersoak? thanks.

[beatle]

Pics....they always help...a lot of people willprobably say they stretch out...

But assuming that you bought them from the new lot, which runs 1 inch smaller , I'd say size up 1...

[twistedtrees]

Which lot? Lot 10? I got a pair of s5000s from lot 10 & at first thought that they may be too small because they kinda fit without the soak. But they didn't shrink a whole lot after the soak or a wash right after the soak to shrink them more.

The thing about them being tight at first is their raw denim state. The denim is so thick & not broken in, it will feel tight, but after a few wears, it will sorta compress the denim around the waist & won't be so tight.

My true waist is a 33 & I got a 32 and it fits pretty good.

[upandcoming]

postweiler haube clothing, where do i get it?

thanks D:

[fatchino]

Looking to purchase a pair of samurai s0110xj ... wear 31s in imperial dukes (don't know if thats the best ref. point but its the best fit on me) ... advice on sizing would be great from the knowledgeable ones of these boards.

Cheers.

[thorough]

my bootcut olas are a bit long. will they bleed much if i do a warm soak and how much should i expect them to shrink lenght wise?

[Wilkes]

I've been wearing my dry APC rescues a solid week now, and I have every intention of wearing them for the next year+ without break; are there any benefits to the longevity or fade by giving them a cold soak now?

[weirdnjfan1]

I'm eyeing up some Nudie Slim Jim Black Dry (found them at a decent vs Matthew Izzo and Revolve Clothing) should I size down to a 28 or get my regular 29 waist.

Get a 31 as well...

Does soaking kill your honeycombs and other creases if the creases arent completely set in yet? I'm asking because I've only wore my S5000Bks for 3 weeks but they've stretched an insane amount.

[mr genki]

ive recently purchased my second pair of SDA103 and had them chainstiched. ive warm soaked them and they barely shrank at all. then i washed them on 30 degree quick cycle and again they hardley shrank. its almost like their a completely different fit to my other 103. their almost verging on being baggy.

should i go for it and wash 40 degree's and see what happens or cut my loses and sell em?

[fatchino]

Thanks Beat. Haven't any experience of samuari so wasn't sure of the stretching they'd go through. I'll go with the 31s, hopefully they work out well.

Cheers.

Not really. They'll be a bit softer and loose some sheen if you soak them, but there's no real benefit in soaking unless your jeans are unsanforized and you want to get some shrinking out of the way (APC's are sanforized).

That's unusual? Where did you buy them? I don't think they're available in one wash, but maybe the store you purchased them from did it?

Also, what a good pair of indigo jeans that's heavy, fast bleeding, and will eventually end up very conrast-y?

Maybe Eternals or Flatheads...either way, you still have to put the work into them to get the results you're looking for.

it was from BiG and they didnt one wash. its weird, it's like their a different fit entirely to my other pair. if possible i'd like to shrink them but its always a hard thing to control
