Can someone with size 26 Acne's (preferably Mic's) post the waist measurement? Thanks..

[mrsaulr]

are acne max's tighter than dior 21s? diors are more of a similar fit to new standards ye? so they are going to be less tapered than acne maxs? also what is the actual size of 32" waist on 21s?

any one know?

Hope that helps. Sounds like you already know everything though!

I've read these threads, and I have only a fragmented understanding of why it's called a "contest".

Is the idea that you buy a pair of limited run jeans, wear it for a year, and then compare wear? Maybe I made that up?

Clairify!

I think they're mostly just a cool pair of collabo-jeans and then they'll see who's look best after a year. Something to that effect...

Hello, couple of questions.

Thanks in advance!

Just some stupid newbie questions. My Even Stevens are becoming a little bit bigger than I like, would it be time to soak them (1 month wear so far)? If so, cold or hot water? How long? And would I lose alot of inseam length?

Cheers!

Posted this on Styleforum w/o any luck. Does anyone here know the quality and sizing (ie, big like chucks or true like AE) of Surface to Air shoes? Same question for Corpus jeans (ie, I wear a 31 or 32 in APC). Looking at the Factory Peoples online sale. Thanks

you should order them from Skulls directly..

And if you want a red tab you should try if someone would send it to you from a country outside the US.

So I just got a pair of Cheap Monday Inside Selvages, and the hem is amazingly small. Does anyone have any tips on how to stretch out the hem of the pants without making it look flared out? Thanks!

you could soak them in hot water for 30 minutes then hang dry. they'd prob. shrink back to size but they'll just stretch out again. they will loose all stiffness and that can affect creasing. you might want to restarch them to help set the creases.

with nudies you might not want to wash them too much too often without that much wear.

dry denim is going to stretch the more you wear them without washing them.

it is up to you whether or not you want to soak them. you won't lose indigo if you just soak them without soap and don't agitate them. they'll loose the sheen of dry denim. i'd personally wait another month and then maybe do a cold soak for 30 to 60 min and see what happens. read some more threads about first washings, shrinkings, when to soak, what it does etc...

Blue in Green sells them if you want to try them on.

Okay, I couldn't find any info on this anywhere, but I'll be safe and put this in small questions:

I just got a pair of dry selvage jeans (Earnest Sewns FWIW) and I've noticed they have a fair amount of small crinkles from the shipping or storage. Is this typical with dry denim?

More to the point: Would it be a good/safe idea to iron out this wrinkles/crinkles? Should I do this inside out?

They don't bother me much, but I imagine they might interfeare with a nice fade.

You can iron them if you want (inside out on a low heat is safest)...or your could soak them....OR...you could just wear them and not worry about it...they're for wearing and enjoying...don't stress over it.

Yeah I hear what you are saying. This isn't something I normally stress over, however, I figured since I just got these it might be smart to correct the problem now before I've worn them around a lot, given that it would be pretty easy to do.

It'll probably work itself out...but ironing won't hurt them if you follow the care label. Whatever eases your worries.

[obsessis]

i always iron my selvage flat, inside out, so that it stays flattened against the jeans like it is supposed to so i'm sure that ironing them won't cause any problems.

I just got my 1st 501xx STFs in the mail. I soaked them right away hung for a while then wore till dry and they fit so perfect but i have massive knee buldge that makes me feel retarded everytime i stand up. Whats the best way to fix it? I wet the knees and used a blow dryer but didnt see much improvement.

Hi,

Someone wants to sell me this Evis jeans but i'm not sure whether it's genuine or not.

I tried to search and compare from the photos i found on the net but still not quite sure.

Think it's might be better to ask for advice from the experts. Is it real? How much should it cost?, ect.

Thank you everybody!

[znailz]

these were additional pictures that the seller sent me.

sorry for my mistake.just realized that i post on the wrong section.

Embrace the buldge...we all get it...in a few weeks you won't even notice it.

Special Brew is BS's premium line...its better than the normal shit you find on bluefly...but its still Ben Sherman, so its not the best on the market. Either way, if you got em cheap, that's great. I wouldn't pay retail for anything they make.
