SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)

[gimmegimme]

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

That's strange...I would give them a call and ask their advice...when I first got mine, they were really baggy, as you're describing, but shrunk down nicely with a warm soak for 2 hours (I still don't understand why their considered "slim" fit...they're not very slim on me). Maybe washing them will fix it? :confused:

looking for an answer to help in making some choices, thanks

Can't answer your question directly...but I'm sure you could find the measurements for your size diors in the dior thread, and compare them to the measurements listed on BiG (or rakuten if that fails) for the sam's and skulls.

when people refer to levi's STF, what does the STF stand for? also, what the prps in prps jeans stand for?

Shrink To Fit for the levis. they are the cheap ones you can get for 30 bucks at most places. i dont know what PPRS stands for but its a japanese brand if i recall.

[PG2G]

PRPS is a US brand, run by Akademiks. I don't think PRPS is an acronym, I think its just meant to sound out PuRPoSe. I could be wrong though.

I thought it was something to do with purple... like the selvege?

I'm pretty confident that its for purpose. It helps that the first text that shows up on their website is "A Product with Purpose"

I think it's shorthand for 'perps', right?

Cuz it's gangsta.

Looking a quality pair of jeans that is a tad less slim than dior 19cm MIJs

Which is slimmer, samurai s710xx or skull 5010xx?

also, any other similar fits that would fit my bill that are worth looking into?

I am looking for something slimmer than a slim straight leg like xx005s, but not quite as slim as dior 19cm japans, to clarify

thanks

You should get 5010xx, they'll be perfect for you.

What about drycleaning your denim? Does anyone do that here? I haven't found any posts on it. And the search function gives poor/no results whenever I try using it. Thanks!

Drycleaning is good when you're not ready to wash your jeans yet, but they stink or something. Word to the wise though - don't send your indigo jeans to the cleaner with your favourite white shirt...bad things might happen.

When should I wash my S5000Bks? I've worn them for about a month with about 20 days of wear with just regular wear.

What about soaking? I feel like theyve stretched a lot...Will I lose my honeycombs and whatnot if I hot soak?

Did you soak them before you wore them? If not, then soak them now...otherwise, soaking them will shrink them back for about 5 minutes before they stretch back out again.

Are the "unwashed" jeans from Cheap Monday raw? If not, does CM carry raw denim?

[gimmegimme]

Does drycleaning damage the denim? I feel that when you wash your jeans they shrink a little and the wrinkles at the knees straighten out. Will it stay lose and worn with dry cleaning or do you think they would press them? Thanks again.

It won't damage the denim...maybe you drycleaned them a whack of times. Depending on your cleaner, they would either press them or steam them...but I doubt that would fully remove the knee buldge....either way, any stretching thats present currently will return very quickly once you wear the jeans again after the drycleaning.

+ repped gg, for fielding a lot of the questions these past pages. With good info, I might add.

Maybe something like "smallquestionsthread duty" should be introduced?

Will levi 501xx fade even if i dont do a soak and just keep them unwashed forever?

Thanks!

[boost]

they will eventually fade. the only way it wont fade is to not wear them

looking at buying a pair of raw Dior 21cm's. will the waist measure like 2 inches bigger than the tag size? (shrink to fit?) just want to make sure so i can decide on which size to get

yes, they measure bigger than the tag size, so get 1-2 sizes smaller than your usual size and you'll be fine.

^thanks

I wouldn't expect them to "shrink to fit" though.
