Twisted seams?

[mikesduc]

My PBJ 005's have twisted seams. i.e. when cuffed the selvage on the right leg is where itshould be on the side of my foot but on the left leg it is a couple of inches forward on my foot.

What gives? Is it a defect in the manufacturing process or did it shrink unevenly in the soak?

leg twist

it happens

we love it

so do you!

I believe there are jeans out there that are account for the twist, but alot of the brands we discuss here in superdenim will exhibit this. More noticeable on unsanforized than sanforized of course.

look up the differnce between left hand twill, right hand twill and broken twill. Right hand will twist one way, left hand twill will twist the other way and broken twill evens it out so there is no twist at all. Broken twill is basically a zig-zag in the twill pattern. Use the search function if you want a more in depth explanation.

same, i wish i could "encourage" the twist, but what happens happens. i love having the selvage seam at the front of my foot.

Yeah, I think because only one is twisted it threw me. Either way its cool but I'm an anal fuck and would rather have it stay straight. Maybe I should start wearing Tommy Hilfiger or Dockers jeans.

my APC's were like this at first but as i've worn them more and they've stretched the seam has fallen back more to where they were.

after how many washes does the twist appear? im at month 7 of my samurais, left hand weave if that makes a diffrence, and there is almost no twist. i want a twist and there is nothing doing. oh i forgot to mention, i did a hot soak when a got them and have washed twice so far.

one wetting

or not

depends

from my understanding, jeans with right hand twill twists on the leg leg and a left hand twill denim twists on the right but i have jeans that are right hand twill yet the twist is on the right leg... what gives?

[fade to black2]

yeah i've come to grown used to twisted over straight seams as well...i don't mind straight seams on my broken twill overdyes since that's unavoidable...but on a pair of dark denim i think the twisted seam looks better. Even better than True Religion!

Now that's just crazy talk.

Now that's just crazy talk.

you know it is. its so much cooler to have a company do it for you...oh wait that sort of goes against everything here. fuckin overpriced shit quality denim.

[__3xL]

For people with over 40 pairs of jeans - quality is not obligatory - style and flair is ..

flair is gay though as we all know

This is the beauty of denim. It's like a box of chocolates....

Long as you aren't twisting your nuts .. Twist is good ... all the time ....

geah !!

[dasman989]

these have a good twist on both legs..... i still don't get it.

[seatiger]

Both legs will twist just to what degree. For RHT, the left leg outseam twists to the front and the right leg inseam twists to the front. And for LHT, its the other way round. Its like one goes clockwise and the other goes anti-clockwise looking from the top.

i'm wearing LHT okinawas right now.... (looking down) the right leg has twisted counter - clockwise but there is no apparent twist on the left leg. That's what i don't get.....

[watchman]

my eternals are twisting quite a bit. The only thing i find interesting about it is honeycombs forming on the inseam.

[salaami]

my RHT sammies started to twist right after the first soak, and i hated it @ first, but im anal about symetry, until i realized it was an affect from non-sanforizing, and just a part of the wabi-sabi of non-pre-shrunk cotton. if you want shrink-to-fit, its something you will inevitably have to deal with. embrace it!

Shit mine did the same thing on the left leg, i was just noticing that the other day, and i laughed when i realized that my right leg is perfectly straight.

It more than likely shrank unevenly in the soak. That's called torque (pronounced "tork"). I buy raw denim all the time and have it tested. If I notice any torquing, I don't use it.
