THIS OR THAT? (Use me for all your Should I Buy...? questions)

[midnight]

I´m looking for a leather wallet and a pair of raw skinny jeans (if posible light indigo colour)

Please give me your advice. Prince range usd 200-300

If you wanted a pair of light indigo jeans, i'd suggest the pure blue japan 008. It's very light indigo and will have a vintage look once they fade. I own a pair and I love them.

Nudie Thin Finn Dry Stretch

or

Nudie Thin Finn Ultra Indigo Coated

[erbs]

^^

If you already have a few pairs of raw jeans, go for the coated ones. If not, get the dry stretch. The coated ones would be good for an accent piece, but not necessarily to wear every day.

Coated........

[fattybfat]

coated...just not a fan on stretchy jeans

Hey hey..

I am looking for a new pair of jeans.. would really like some recommendations. I bought a pair of Nudie RRDS but didn't like the fit. I don't want anything too slim.. it doesn't make me look good heh.

My fav pair of jeans are GSTAR Core Custom .. pic is below.. (not of me).. .. Just wondering what you guys could recommend. Price maybe up to $300. Just want a nice new pair to add to the collection.

Flathead F380

[gimmegimme]

^^ throw those out first, then get the 380's.

Lol that's a google pic i found.. mine look much better

What is the sizing in the flatheads f380.. true to size? 32 for a 32 waist?

[sarcasticone]

True to size. Also, when you get the 380s they will seem huge before the soak. Don't worry, they shrink up nicely.

I know you said true to size.. was just reading a thread on another forum and they said..

"Go up one tagged size from your measurment, cold soak them for 45 minutes then let them air dry.If you've got a lot of room when you get them do a hot soak instead ... They shrink quite a bit."

I think my waist is 32.5.. so I guess a 33 will be the go?

PS: thanks for the help guys

[sarcasticone]

Here are the measuments from Selfedge. As you can see the 32 is actually 33 inches across the waist. The denim will shrink in the waist but after about 30 wears (more like 5) it will stretch out an inch again. Go with the 32

so i posted on the takumis i just bought in that thread

should i keep them, or return for credit and get a pair of the new 811s?

if i stick with them, i'll probably get them tapered, which would cost about as much as mailing them back to big

i've been waiting for eternals with a longer inseam for years

but are they worth an extra $100?

:confused:

the takumis are nice jeans, and while i'm not crazy about some of the trimmings, i actually like the idea of trying something a little different

I think its better to start out with jeans that fit instead of altering them. Shit can just look off after doing certain alterations. I would return them for the 811's as long as you don't have major diaper ass.

[rice rocket]

I have husky legs, and I don't enjoy nuthugging tightness, but I do want some "ass definition" instead of just a whole backpocket full of air.

I tried on a bunch of jeans today (in Pittsburgh, there's really only one boutique, but carry mostly bootcuts), and I liked the fit of the Diesel Vikers. Low rise, straight leg, slim fit "comfort leg" as they call it. I have a pair of Nudie Bootcut Olas, which promised to be a slim fit, but they were too big in the ass and I stretched the thighs to where I finally fit now. So it was slim, but slim in the wrong places. I have a pair of Earnest Sewn Hutch's as well (actually 2 pairs), and it's almost the same issue as the Nudies, too tight in the thigh, and too loose in the ass.

Haven't been able to try on any APC's or Acne's anything, and most of the Japanese stuff available in Pittsburgh is pretty high rise, which I don't like.

Any suggestions before I head down to DC?

FH310, Sam710, PBJ005?

[midnight]

FH310, Sam710, PBJ005?

Rice rocket: I've had all of these in a 29 and think that the best option for you would be the 005. They have no hip flare and are pretty snug in the seat compared to most jeans. They are also low rise and slim without being tapered. 005's, 007's, or 008's are what you should check out.

Hi, yeh the person I quoted was Kiya from Styleforum.net.. but is on this board too? I think he is involved in running SelfEdge. Thanks for all ur help, they look like a good pair of jeans :-)

I hope I get the right size .. 32 does look like the go from the text on the site.

you're right, although with a decent tailor i don't think there's that much to worry about

unfortunately, i need a new laptop and money is tighter than it used to be, so that extra $100 is a big deal

so it's off to the tailor for me

i'll keep everyone posted - who knows, maybe i'll have a mind-blowing fade by mardi gras
