Hi,

I'm currently wearing Nudie RRDS, but I'm sick of the low crotch and would prefer to lose the bootcut.

Can anyone recommend something that has a similar fit, but low rise and straight leg.

Thankyou.

[Cameland]

Samurai 5000vx is pretty similar to a ralf. But really, the SSDS is a low rise straight version of the ralf but I think the new average joe is a much better cut.

[DenimNewbie]

Might give that a look then, cheers. I thought all the nudies were high rise.

Warehouse 1000XX oxidation denim or Nudie SS Dry Copper?

Bumping my own post. Anyone? I suppose everyone would choose the Warehouse. It's probably like a rhetorical question or something.

@puretokyo. S710 sized down.

[Cameland]

There are two nudies in a low rise which are the SSK and Bootcut Ola. When I said the SS is low, I meant they are lower than the ralf. That may or may not seem low to you I don't know. The average joe on the other hand has a higher rise than the ralf but the cut in the leg is much better in my opinion.

[Cameland]

Rob, get the oxidation denim from WH, I say this because I know that the denim will be cooler and because I find that the SS cut sucks.

i'm visiting ann arbor for a few days and thinking of hitting up the mall there which has a h&m divided men (young). hows the fit of h&m denim? i like slim jeans but not skin tight.

[puretokyo]

cheers, indigojunkie, those look great! plus rep.

have they stretched/sculpted a lot with wear?

I'm about 6 foot 3 175 lbs, and looking for a nice straight fit jean that has a slimming look, but isnt tight, something along the lines of Nudie Straight Seven, what would people recommend? I was looking at some APC and I liked some of thier cuts, but I'm not sure that any retailers around here carry them ( I would like to try before I buy )..my last pair of jeans was a pair of gap gough and I hated the cut, and just the jean itself. I really just dont know where to start, and I would like to keep the price below 200 if possible. Any input or help would be appreciated! thanks!

im planning to splurge on my first pair of quality denim and im wondering if i should start off with something like apcs or nudies, or should i just go for straight for the japanese denim, mostly likely skull 501xx 6x6.

They were as tight as fk when I first hotsoaked them. I whould have first post soak pics around here somewhere...

They stretched out, conformed to my body almost perfectly. Still a bit too snug in the thigh, but in the seat and everywhere else, just the way I want it.

You don't like the SS cut? Thanks for the advice, Came. I was leaning more to the WH myself. It's going on my to-get list (growing longer by the day, unfortunately).

Go straight to japanese denim, but having nudies and APC first might help you appreciate your J-denim more

LVC- cultizm.com. got to nyc from germany in less then 48 hours....really class operation

[nikesber]

where can i buy samurai sv5000s without having to go on a japanese website?

[Cameland]

BiG or Self edge. Email them.

[DenimNewbie]

I have a quick question about APC hipsters...

Denim Bar suggests going 2 sizes down to account for stretch. I'm a 32 in the waist, but 34 on the hips where the jeans will sit. I'm not sure if that means I should by a 32, or stick with a 30.

Thanks in advance for any advice :-)

Samurai S0500X or Eternal 811?

Samurai S0500X or Eternal 811?

I like the denim used in the 0500's...I would go for those.

[drainpipe]

Thinking of selling off my APCs and getting a pair of skinny japanese denim. Should I get

Skull 5010XX or

PBJ XX-005?

Other suggestions welcomed.

PBJ XX-005 or FH 3001. I would stay away from skulls for now.

PBJ XX-005 or FH 3001. I would stay away from skulls for now.

Any particular reason why?

edit: oh yeah, my waist is size 26, so availability could be a factor.

Both....

Skulls come in that size:

Not sure why you're supposed to stay away from skulls.

I have a pair of 005BK's and I can say that PBJ's are great denim, excellent quality and overall construction. I'd stay away from Skulls especially if you're looking for a pair of denim that lasts.

But it's truly up to you.. both cuts are nice and flattering.

[drainpipe]

Thanks for the warning. Longevity is definitely something I care about with $200+ jeans. So does PBJ make jeans in sizes less than 28?

Also, how are the quality on Flat Heads? I was also considering the 3001.

[soundbomber]

I believe 28 is the smallest they go. Most people get true-to-size or even size up one as they are very slim denim. It's definately not recommended to size down.
